Abstract: One example method involves obtaining a plurality of images using a camera located at a given position relative to a light detection and ranging device (LIDAR). A first image of the plurality may be indicative of a view, via one or more optical elements of the LIDAR, of a receiver of the LIDAR. The method also involves determining simulated detector positions for intercepting reflections of simulated light beams associated with a plurality of light sources in a transmitter of the LIDAR. The method also involves determining one or more alignment offsets between the transmitter and the receiver based on at least the simulated detector positions and the plurality of images.

Abstract: A recharging system for recharging batteries or providing power to an implantable device includes an electric coil adapted to be coupled to the implantable device, the electric coil defining a coil interior and a coil exterior. A magnetic component is coupled to the electric coil and adapted to at least partially surround the implantable device. A mechanical actuator is attached to the magnetic component, the mechanical actuator converting compression motion into motion of the magnetic component relative to the electric coil.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for dynamically managing resources when submitting bids for advertising content opportunities. The system may determine whether a bid request is likely to be accepted or rejected, or whether an impression event associated with an impression from a bid associated with the bid request is delayed by a time duration. The system may determine, based on information associated with a bid request, a plurality of features associated with the bid request. Each feature of the plurality of features may be associated with one or more distributions indicating a percentage likelihood that the that the impression from the bid associated with the bid request is delayed by the time duration, or whether a bid is likely to be rejected or accepted. The selected features may be based on the impact the features have on indicating whether a bid is likely to be accepted or rejected or result in a delayed impression.
