Abstract: A method and system for authoring a three-dimensional (3D) presentation can involve dividing a scene into a grid of equals-sized segments or non-equally sized segments, wherein one or more 360-degree cameras record the scene from a center of each segment, and a size of the each segment is proportional to a complexity of an environment captured in the scene. One or more objects can be created within the scene for a user interaction with a 3D presentation of the scene in the context of a video stream. A logical center of the object(s) can be used as a center point for recording a 360-degree video by the one or more 360-degree cameras for use as a low fidelity background video when the user interacts with the 3D presentation of the scene. The 3D presentation can be based on a 3D model.

Abstract: A core compressor is disclosed that includes a housing, a first pair of rollers and a second pair of rollers, both positioned in the housing. Each of the pair of rollers includes an upper roller and a lower roller. The first pair of the rollers is located proximate to a first end of the core compressor, and the second pair of the rollers is located proximate to a second and opposing end of the core compressor. The upper roller and lower roller of the first pair of rollers are located a first distance apart. The upper roller and lower roller of the second pair of rollers are located a second distance apart. Each roller includes at least one row of teeth extending generally perpendicularly away from the surface of the roller.

Abstract: Vehicle backup warning notification systems and methods are disclosed herein. An example method can include determining a hazardous condition in an operating area around a vehicle based on user input of a first user at a first point in time, storing a warning message that indicates that the hazardous condition is present in the operating area, determining a second user driving the vehicle at a second point in time, determining that the stored warning message exists, and presenting the warning message for the second user driving the vehicle to notify the second user that the hazardous condition is present in the operating area.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for automatically generating service definitions for application clients of a message broker is provided. The method includes retrieving a trace of interactions between different application instances and corresponding message queues in a message brokering system. Thereafter, messages in the trace can be analyzed to identify the application instances and related message exchange data. Finally, a service definition document can be generated for each identified application instance using the related message exchange data to describe computational services provided by the identified application instance.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to processing systems that generate reverse video content output streams for reconstruction of sensor devices. A computing platform may receive video content including step completion inputs. Based on the step completion inputs, the computing platform may mark data packets in the video content, and may use the marked data packets to generate video segments. The computing platform may refine the video segments to remove the step completion inputs, and may generate a first reverse video content output stream using the refined video segments. The computing platform may send the first reverse video content output stream to an enhanced reality device for display. The computing platform may determine a maintenance update corresponding to a sensor device shown in the video content, and may send commands directing a maintenance database to update a maintenance log and to cause the sensor device to perform a setting adjustment.

Abstract: A universal micromobility vehicle configured for use in a vehicle share system comprises a frame, a footboard fixed to the frame, a seat fixed to the frame, handlebars, and front and rear wheels supported by the frame. The seat is separated from the footboard in a vertical direction by a fixed distance between 500 mm and 600 mm. The handlebars are separated from the footboard in the vertical direction by a fixed distance between 700 mm and 900 mm. The footboard is fixed to the frame at a fixed vertical distance relative to the lower surfaces of the front and rear wheels between 160 mm and 240 mm. The seat is fixed to the frame at a fixed vertical distance relative to the lower surfaces of the front and rear wheels between 700 mm and 800 mm.

Abstract: A micromobility electric vehicle with a controller that operates the vehicle in a walk-assist mode, expanding the population of users that can comfortably use the vehicle. In walk-assist mode, the speed of the vehicle may be limited to a walking speed, regardless of the position of a throttle. In contrast, in a riding mode, the maximum speed may be higher. The walk-assist mode may be entered or exited based on output of one or more sensors, indicating that the user is or is not riding the vehicle or that a user is or is not pushing the vehicle. Such sensors may be positioned in a seat, in a floorboard or on the handlebars of the vehicle. Alternatively or additionally, the sensor may be associated with a control, such as a tab configured to be pressed by a user's thumb when the user is pushing the vehicle.
