Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein relate generally to modifying images to reduce display power while maintaining visual fidelity of the displayed images. In one example, a computer-implemented method includes receiving an input image to be displayed by a type of display device, obtaining a machine learning model that is trained to edit display content to reduce power consumption of displaying the edited display content by the type of display device while maintaining a visual fidelity of the edited display content, applying the machine learning model to the input image to generate an output image, and displaying the output image via a display device of the type of display device.

Abstract: Memory-efficient encoding based on human-color perception can include calculating a plurality of two-dimensional boundaries in a color space, ascertaining extrema points for two or more two-dimensional boundaries of the plurality of two-dimensional boundaries, adjusting a color value within at least one of the two-dimensional boundaries to generate an adjusted color that reduces variances of color values for a color channel, and presenting the adjusted color on the display. By adjusting color values within human-perception limits, the number of bits used for color encoding can be reduced.

Abstract: Saving power in an extended-reality device can include rendering a video stream on a display, tracking an eye of a user observing the display, ascertaining a gaze direction of the eye based on tracking the eye, calculating a foveal region of the display based on ascertaining the gaze direction in relation to the display, and modulating color hues of the video stream for pixels of the display outside the foveal region, to reduce a power consumption of the display. Modulating color hues is based on human color discrimination and display power consumption correlated to pixel color.

Abstract: Compounds and methods are provided for inhibiting an aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). Methods of treating cancer are also provided. The ALDH-inhibitor can be a compound that is based on a cyclic guanidine, or an imidazolium core. In certain embodiments, the ALDH-inhibitor compound is a substituted cyclic guanidine, or a substituted imidazolium compound. Aspects of the methods include methods of selectively inhibiting a particular ALDH family member. In some cases, the subject compounds are ALDH1 B1-selective inhibitors. In some cases, the subject compounds are ALDH1A3-selective inhibitors.

Abstract: Techniques for operating a voice-activated computing device are provided. These techniques can be used to prevent voice-based attacks on such devices. An example method according to these techniques includes receiving audio content comprising a voice command, monitoring electromagnetic (EM) emissions using an EM detector of the voice-activated computing device, determining whether the audio content comprising the voice command was generated electronically or was issued by a human user based on the EM emissions detected while receiving the audio content comprising the voice command, and preventing the voice command from being executed by the voice-activated computing device responsive to determining that the voice command was generated electronically.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a catheter connector configured to provide an escape location for a liquid medium trapped therein. The catheter connector includes a body having a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end includes a proximal end port for mating communication with a fluid delivery device. The body defines a hollow interior extending from the proximal end to the distal end. In one embodiment, the catheter connector includes an insert configured within the hollow interior of the connector. The insert defines a bore therethrough that is configured to receive a catheter at least partially therein. Further, the bore includes an interior wall and an exterior wall defining a thickness therebetween. The interior wall includes at least one discontinuity. Thus, when the catheter is inserted through the bore, at least one cavity is formed by the catheter and the at least one discontinuity of the insert.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are related to a method for installing one or more filtering rules, comprising: receiving the filtering rules; and installing the filtering rules into a mobile network modem, in which each filtering rule may be associated with a layer of an over-the-air (OTA) protocol stack and specifies a type of payload and one or more conditions for the payload.

Abstract: A combination back cushion and seat cushion which are retained together by a retaining member which is preferably a flap member which is affixed to the rear of the seat cushion and also affixed to the rear of the back cushion, the connecting member having an opening to removably receive a steel support within the back cushion, which steel support is inserted behind any cushioning member of the back seat so that when the steel support frame is completely inserted into the back frame, the back cushion is rotated relative to the front cushion so that the support member within the back cushion is completely concealed but still provides the required extra support for a person to rest their back against the back cushion.
