Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to encoding and/or decoding of the textures/geometry of a three-dimensional volumetric representation. An encoding computing system can obtain voxel blocks from a three-dimensional volumetric representation of an object. The encoding computing system can encode voxel blocks with a machine-learned voxel encoding model to obtain encoded voxel blocks. The encoding computing system can decode the encoded voxel blocks with a machine-learned voxel decoding model to obtain reconstructed voxel blocks. The encoding computing system can generate a reconstructed mesh representation of the object based at least in part on the one or more reconstructed voxel blocks. The encoding computing system can encode textures associated with the voxel blocks according to an encoding scheme and based at least in part on the reconstructed mesh representation of the object to obtain encoded textures.

Abstract: A system and method of automated logistical vehicle registration and validation for remote monitoring. Cameras are deployed at the gate to a trucking logistics facility to record detailed information (e.g., license plate, identification info) on vehicles. Alternatively, vehicle and drive identification credentials can be provided by a mobile application from the driver. The cameras are connected to a data center hosting the automated logistical vehicle registration and validation system. Cameras are placed around the entry gate of a facility that takes snapshots of vehicles “checking in”. The system takes this info with assistance from artificial algorithms to read data and images (e.g., photos) to compare and verify the info. Recommendations are then sent to a guard to approve entry of the vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to container bodies configured to be used in filter-as-you-pour systems, where filtering is achieved as the user pours water from the container. Such container bodies may have an undivided internal storage volume, so as to not include a reservoir compartment for unfiltered water. They may be part of systems configured to filter water both as water is introduced into a container body of the system and as water is poured from the container body of the system. The filter assembly may be attached to the container body at a location proximate the outlet of the system. Filter media of the filter assembly may comprise an activated carbon textile material that presents a curved surface to water passing through the filter assembly. The container body may be configured as a pitcher, carafe, water bottle, jug, or other shaped container.

Abstract: A method and system for automatically determining a device-specific configuration for a software application operating on a user device. A configuration monitoring program monitors local user data stored on a user device and generates a device-specific prediction model using a machine learning algorithm applied to the monitored local data.

The configuration monitoring program generates a predicted device-specific configuration of the application operating on the user device using prediction data from both the device-specific prediction model and the global prediction model and updates the configuration of the given application using the predicted device-specific configuration.

Abstract: An on-demand filter structure including a first hydrophilic protective layer comprising a first surface exposable to a stream of water. A contact area on the first surface receives the stream. The first hydrophilic protective layer receives the stream and distributes water out a second surface, primarily using gravity. An activated carbon felt (ACF) layer is adjacent to the second surface, wherein the ACF layer is configured for water filtration, primarily using gravity. A second hydrophilic protective layer includes a third surface adjacent the ACF layer and a fourth surface. The third surface receives filtered water from the ACF layer, and the fourth surface expels the filtered water primarily using gravity, wherein the first and second hydrophilic protective layers sandwich the ACF layer. A cross section of the first hydrophilic protective layer, the ACF layer, and the second hydrophilic protective layer has a curvature.
