Abstract: A method and system for creating a point cloud are disclosed. A first image is captured by a first camera sensor and a second image is captured by a second camera sensor. The first and the second image have an area of overlap. Location of the first camera relative to the second camera is predetermined and each of the first and the second camera is having a field of view of more than 180 degrees. Based on the area of overlap, the first and the second image are stitched to create a composite stitched image. In one aspect, depth information from the area of overlap is extracted based on the predetermined location and a point cloud is created from otherwise to be discarded image data in the area of overlap.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed herein that relate to curved batteries. One example provides a battery comprising an anode arranged on an anode substrate, a cathode arranged on a cathode substrate, the anode substrate being curved at a first curvature and the cathode substrate being curved at a second curvature, and a separator between the anode and the cathode. A thickness of the anode substrate and a thickness of the cathode substrate are determined based on the curvature of the respective substrate, such that the one of the anode substrate and the cathode substrate with a larger curvature has a larger thickness.

Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for providing access to media content within a networked system. The systems and methods receive a notification indicating dispensing of an image capture device by a dispersal machine. In response to receiving the notification, the systems and methods generate a media distribution session associated with the identifier. Media instances or content are published to the media distribution session by associating the media distribution session and the identifier with the media instances or content. The systems and methods receive access requests for the media distribution session and, responsive to the access requests, transmit at least a portion of the media instances or content to a requesting device.

Abstract: A rolled-electrode battery cell includes multiple, stacked electrode rolls that are stacked along a stacking axis. Each of the electrode rolls has its electrode tabs bonded to an end of the electrodes, so that the electrode tabs extend from the ends of the electrodes along the winding direction of the electrodes. The stacked electrode rolls are bent around respective bending axes that are parallel to their winding axes, and perpendicular to the stacking axis and the winding direction of the electrodes.
