Abstract: A method for generating and maintaining hierarchical tags with community-based ratings is provided. Tags for media streams are organized into a hierarchical format. Users may select tags from the hierarchical tag database that describes a particular multimedia content. If the user is unable to locate a desired tag, the user may submit a new tag. Upon submission of the new tag, a librarian approves the tag before storing and placing the tag in the hierarchical tag database. Users are also able to rate the quality of the association between the tag and the multimedia content. If a tag is rated low, the tag may be removed from the hierarchical tag database. If the tag is rated highly, display of the tag in a list of tags becomes more prominent.

Abstract: There is disclosed systems, methods, and computer-readable media for local positioning. A system includes a plurality of anchors placed within a facility, three or more calibration tags, temporarily placed at respective predetermined positions within the facility, and a server. The server instructs the plurality of anchors and the plurality of calibration tags to use two-way-ranging communications to measure respective distances between each anchor of the plurality of anchors and at least three of the three or more calibration tags. The server uses the predetermined positions of the plurality of calibration tags and the measured distances to determine a respective location of each of the plurality of anchors.

Abstract: System and methods are disclosed to promote safe shoving movements of a train based on train position localization without human-based track operations monitoring. Train position detectors deployed at the end of a track, in parallel to the track, between the rails of the track, or a combination thereof, localize an end-of-train during shoving movements. Each train position detector transmits an early warning alert to an onboard alert device and a handheld alert device for indicating the end of the train is about to enter a pre-configured prohibited zone. The locomotive operator receives the alert on the onboard alert device while workers in the railyard receive the alert on the handheld alert devices. Both onboard and handheld alert devices are capable of generating audio, visual, haptic, or a combination of these warning alerts for the locomotive operator and the workers in the railyard.

Abstract: A harvester reel includes a reel tine bar having a follower and a tine. A cam assembly includes a primary cam, a linkage and a latch. The linkage has a first end that is connected to the primary cam and a second end that is connectable to the tine bar for guiding rotation of the tine bar. The latch selectively couples the second end of the linkage to the tine bar. In an unlatched configuration of the latch, the reel tine bar can pivot relative to the second end of the linkage, and in a latched configuration of the latch, the reel tine bar is non-rotatably connected to the second end of the linkage. A secondary cam has a surface that is configured to be contacted by the follower of the reel tine bar. Upon contacting the secondary cam, the follower moves the latch to the unlatched configuration.

Abstract: There is disclosed a system for local positioning. The system includes a plurality of anchors placed within a facility, the anchors in fixed positions following a calibration procedure, and a plurality of movable tags, attached to individuals and/or objects used to play a sport within the facility. A tracking server for using the plurality of anchors, in two-way-ranging communication with the plurality of movable tags, to track movement of the plurality of movable tags within the facility on an as-desired basis.

Abstract: A consent system enables a consumer to save consent choices so that the publisher can retrieve the consumer consent choices when the consumer visits the publisher site, without requiring the consumer to make additional selections corresponding to consent choices. The consumer can save consent choices as a consent system first party cookie or in an account at the consent system. The consumer can save consent choices when visiting a publisher site or by accessing the consent system. The publisher can retrieve the consumer consent choices from the consent system first party cookie or from the account at the consent system. Multiple publishers can retrieve the consumer consent choices saved in an account with the consent system, enabling “cross-platform consent.

Abstract: A support pedestal includes a support member including a resistive layer having a plurality of zones, a routing layer, and a plurality of conductive vias. The plurality of zones are defined by a plurality of independently controllable resistive heating elements. The resistive layer and the routing layer are disposed in different planes of the support member and are connected by the plurality of conductive vias.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a sensor cleaning system that cleans one or more sensors of an autonomous vehicle. Each sensor can have one or more corresponding sensor cleaning units that are configured to clean such sensor using a fluid (e.g., a gas or a liquid). Thus, the sensor cleaning system can include both a gas cleaning system and a liquid cleaning system. According to one aspect, the sensor cleaning system can provide individualized cleaning of the autonomous vehicle sensors. According to another aspect, a liquid cleaning system can be pressurized or otherwise powered by the gas cleaning system or other gas system.
