Abstract: A method for computing a total weight array includes receiving an image frame captured by a content capture device and identifying a plurality of objects in the image frame. Each object of the plurality of objects corresponds to one of a plurality of pixel groups. The method also includes providing a plurality of neural networks and calculating, for each object of the plurality of objects, an object weight using a corresponding neural network of the plurality of neural networks. The method further includes computing the total weight array by summing the object weight for each of the plurality of objects.

Abstract: Content is organized for brands by selecting a plurality of brand templates. After each selection, a set of properties is generated by applying a portion of settings of the respective brand template, with the remaining settings being overridden with settings for a channel communicating one of a plurality of presentations to a node of a network involved in the communication. The plurality of presentations may include different renditions of the same content. The properties may include sections configured for different focus areas and/or types of content associated with at tags to enable brand-level-targeting. Filters may be identified in the properties. Based on each of the identifications, a property from among the generated sets of properties may be selected based on comparisons with the associated tags.

The method can also include transmitting, by the first wireless transceiver, common information in parallel on the at least two wireless communication channels to the second wireless transceiver and deactivating the at least two wireless communication channels.

Abstract: A head-mounted display (HMD) determines whether a set of criteria is satisfied based on eye-related readings collected by a camera of the HMD and wirelessly transmits a set of messages in response to a determination that the set of criteria is satisfied.

Abstract: A map control module receives a stream of map data characterizing a geographic region proximal to a vehicle and outputs a moving map, and the moving map is divisible into a matrix of cells. A map item control receives a stream of point of interest (POI) data characterizing a plurality of POIs within the boundary and categorizes each of the plurality of POIs to define a set of categories. The map item control determines a display location of a map item within the matrix of cells for each of the plurality of POIs and determines an importance for each POI within a same category. The map item control forms a set of clusters of map items. Each map item in a given cluster of map items has a same cell and a same category. The map item control selects a top-item for each cluster of map items.

Abstract: Method and system may be configured to determine a stationary time period during which a vehicle has remained stationary. The method and system may be further configured to enable a parked function of the vehicle in response to determining that the stationary time period exceeds a designated threshold. While the parked function is enabled, the vehicle applies a braking effort to the vehicle in response to detecting movement of the vehicle.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided that includes obtaining a first secret and a first public key, and obtaining a second secret a second public key. The method may also include authenticating the first public key of the first vehicle based on a first private key associated with the first vehicle, and authenticating the second public key of the second vehicle based on a second private key associated with the second vehicle. The method may also include preventing a man-in-the-middle attack, by securing at least one of a first vehicle-to-central office communication, a central office-to-first vehicle communication, or a first vehicle-to-second vehicle, wherein the first vehicle-to-central office communication and the central office-to-first vehicle communication are authenticated based on a determined private key associated with a respective first vehicle on-board computer, and sending a message, with the central office server, to a vehicle associated with a conditional movement authority.

Abstract: A carrier device includes a body member having two parallel sections, terminal ends of which extend in a common direction. A bracket nested with the body member has two lateral side members extending in the common direction. Each side member has a terminal end and a loop proximate the end defining a hole. An interior is defined between the sections of the body member and between the side members of the bracket. A binding member engages the sections of the body member and passes through the respective hole of each side member defined by the loop. A retention member, for retaining a magazine when inserted into the carrier device, also passes through the respective holes. The binding member draws sections of the body member toward each other to maintain frictional engagement of an inserted magazine or other article with interior contact points of the carrier device.

Abstract: A system and method for operating a depth sensor. A configuration operation can be performed by storing a first sequence of operation steps which define a first depth sensing mode of operation, and a second sequence of operation steps which define a second depth sensing mode of operation, in the memory. In response to a first request for depth measurements according to the first depth sensing mode of operation, the depth sensor can be operated in the first mode of operation by causing it to execute the first sequence of operation steps. In response to a second request for depth measurements according to the second depth sensing mode of operation, and without performing an additional configuration operation, the depth sensor can be operated in the second mode of operation by causing it to execute the second sequence of operation steps.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques directed to digital credential dependency management. Metadata mappings are maintained between digital credentials, their underlying attributes, and dependent entities which verify and rely upon the digital credentials. When a digital credential is presented for proof to a verification entity, a dependency mapping is generated linking between the verification entity and the attributes that the verification entity requested for presentation. Updates to the digital credentials, or underlying attributes of the digital credentials, can trigger automatic notifications to the verification entities indicated in the dependency mapping. Automatic notifications, as well as their contents, may be defined by user settings to dictate which verification entities receive notifications and what digital credential and underlying attribute information is included in said notifications.

Abstract: A system includes a phase break input unit, one or more vehicle location detectors, and one or more processors. The phase break input unit is configured to obtain phase break location information indicating a location of a phase break along a route to be traversed by a vehicle. The one or more vehicle location detectors are configured to obtain vehicle location information indicating at least one of location of the vehicle or movement of the vehicle. The one or more processors are configured to determine an estimated arrival time of the vehicle at the phase break using the phase brake location information and the vehicle location information, and send a phase break control signal to a control system of the vehicle responsive to the estimated arrival time satisfying a threshold.
