Abstract: A method and system for determining device presence in a mesh network and for directing messages to a destination within the network is presented. Node devices periodically issue device presences messages that are propagated through the network. Receiving devices store and analyze data from received device presence messages to determine presence and nodal distance to other nodes. Device presence message data can be used to route directed messages on the network and for network analysis.

Abstract: An aircraft light comprises a support board; a light source, arranged on the support board; a first optical element, which is at least partially light transmissive, which is arranged over the light source, and which is fixed to the support board; and a second optical element, which is at least partially light transmissive, wherein the first optical element is interposed between the light source and the second optical element. The first optical element has a first engagement portion and the second optical element has a second engagement portion. The first engagement portion and the second engagement portion establish a positive fit between the first optical element and the second optical element.

Abstract: An electronic device, computer program product, and method present augmented reality (AR) imagery at an AR display device with contextual, adaptive brightening control. The AR display device includes eyeglasses having lenses positioned in front of eyes of a person. A first camera sensor detects ambient light. An AR projector displays AR imagery on the lenses. A second camera sensor is configured to detect whether the eyes of the person are open or closed. A controller of the electronic device is communicatively coupled to the AR display device. The controller detects brightness of the ambient light. The controller dynamically adjusts brightness of the AR imagery in relation to the brightness of the ambient light. The controller reduces the brightness of the AR imagery in response to determining a brightness context that the eyes of the person have been closed for longer than threshold period of time.

Abstract: A respective set of features, including emotion-related features, are extracted from segments of a video for which a preview is to be generated. A subset of the segments is chosen using the features and filtering criteria including at least one emotion-based filtering criterion. Respective weighted preview-suitability scores are assigned to the segments of the subset using at least a metric of similarity between individual segments and a plot summary of the video. The scores are used to select and combine segments to form a preview for the video.

Abstract: Traditionally, counterweight fork type autonomous mobile robots (AMR) have been used for any kind of pallet. But the challenge is it occupies lot more maneuvering space while making turns, which cannot work in narrow operating zones. Hence fork over AMR is preferred. However, these fork over AMR have extended parts always touching the ground surface and thus are not suitable for pallets with a wooden plank at the bottom of the fork opening in the pallet. To overcome the above technical problems, an Adjustable Counterweight-based Fork Type Autonomous Mobile Robot (ACFTAMR) is provided that includes chassis assembly and vertical mast unit, a horizontal cross slide mechanism and forks. The chassis assembly is provided counterweight assembly and counterbalance shafts that move forward and backward during pickup and release of payload when the vertical mast unit moves in upward/downward direction, thus providing better stability and counterbalance to the ACFTAMR.

Abstract: In a method of moderating action requests and structured communications within an observation platform, in response to a request interaction a computer system sets up an action request regarding a structured communication in the observation platform. The computer system analyzes the action request with respect to context in the observation platform, where the context is one of user context in the observation platform and device context in the observation platform. The computer system analyzes the action request with respect to status in the observation platform, where the status is one of user status in the observation platform and device status in the observation platform. The computer system moderates an action in the observation platform with respect to the structured communication based on results of the context and status analyses.

Abstract: A method may include receiving, at a network device, a registration request that comprises a subscription concealed identifier (SUCI) associated with a particular user equipment (UE) device. The network device determines whether the SUCI indicates a request for null-scheme network access; and retrieves a scheme authorization parameter for the UE device when it is determined that the SUCI indicates a request for null-scheme network access. The scheme authorization parameter indicates whether the UE device is authorized for null-scheme access to a service provider network. The network device determines whether the UE device is authorized for null-scheme network access based on the retrieved scheme authorization parameter and performs processing associated with null-scheme network access when it is determined that the particular UE device is authorized for null-scheme network access.

Abstract: In certain aspects, dynamic remapping of memory addresses is provided and includes initiating a remapping of a logical block from a “mapped block” to a “remapped block.” Logical address locations for the logical block are mapped to physical address locations in the mapped block. The mapped and remapped blocks include non-volatile memory. A read command is received and determined to be for reading from a logical address location of the logical block, and the logical address location is determined to be mapped to a physical address location. Data is read from the physical address location of the mapped block. A write command is received and determined to be for writing data to the logical address location. Data is written to the physical address location of the remapped block. The read command is received after the initiation of the remapping and before the writing of the data to the remapped block.

The method also includes detecting a real-world physical state of the spectator, and rendering, in response to detecting, the spectator in the VR space as an avatar that reflects the real-world physical state of the spectator.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to the autonomous remediation of IT asset records in accordance with rules-based asset management policies. An IT asset record associated with an IT asset and having a first piece of IT asset information is received and evaluated for compliance in accordance with defined asset management rules. The asset management rules require the IT asset record to include both the first piece and a second piece of IT asset information. In view of the rules, a determination is made that the IT asset record requires remediation. Based on a determination that the IT asset record requires remediation, a decision-tree machine learning model is utilized to infer, based on IT asset information available in the IT asset record, at least the second piece of IT asset information to place the IT asset record in compliance with the asset management rules.

Abstract: Embodiments of the technology described herein, provide improved visual search results by combining a visual similarity and a textual similarity between images. In an embodiment, the visual similarity is quantified as a visual similarity score and the textual similarity is quantified as a textual similarity score. The textual similarity is determined based on text, such as a title, associated with the image. The overall similarity of two images is quantified as a weighted combination of the textual similarity score and the visual similarity score. In an embodiment, the weighting between the textual similarity score and the visual similarity score is user configurable through a control on the search interface. In one embodiment, the aggregate similarity score is the sum of a weighted visual similarity score and a weighted textual similarity score.
