Abstract: An airborne object detection system can include one or more imaging devices configured to be disposed on an aircraft and to produce imaging data of one or more portions of an environment surrounding the aircraft, and an object detection system operatively connected to the one or more imaging devices to receive the imaging data. The object detection system can be configured to determine whether there are one or more collision risk objects in the imaging data that will or are likely to collide with the aircraft based on the imaging data. The object detection system can be configured to determine a collision location on the aircraft that the one or more collision risk objects will or are likely to collide with.

Abstract: A first compute server of a plurality of compute servers of a distributed cloud computing network receives an inference request. The first compute server determines that the received inference request triggers execution of code at the distributed cloud computing network, where the code is related to an artificial intelligence (AI) application that interacts with the inference request and causes input of the inference request to be run through an AI model. If the AI model is not loaded at the first compute server but is loaded at a second compute server, the inference request is routed to the second compute server for performing the inference operation.

Abstract: Remote access to secured containers is provided by a user interface apparatus having an associated receptacle for receiving physical items delivered from and to the remote secured container.

Moreover, the user credentials are associated with a secure container identifier and access credentials for gaining access to the secured area and/or the secured container, such that presentation of the user credentials provides identification of the secure container and access to the secured area and/or the secured container.

Abstract: Techniques for unlearning concepts in the use of a pre-trained generative machine learning model are described. A description of a concept to be unlearned in use of a pre-trained generative machine learning model is received. Negative prompts and positive prompts are processed with the pre-trained generative machine learning model to generate associated activation volume maps. A set of conditions to differentiate activation volume maps associated with negative prompts from activation volume maps associated with positive prompts is identified. A model adapter is generated, the model adapter to use a set of different model parameters when processing of a prompt by the pre-trained generative machine learning model satisfies the set of conditions.

Abstract: A power over Ethernet (POE) switch provides integrated power and data transmission tailored for aircraft systems. The POE switch accepts high voltage input from batteries and utilizes DC-DC converters to generate low voltage for switch electronics. This power is combined with Ethernet data signals and delivered over Ethernet cabling to connected devices. To manage substantial heat generation, the switch employs thermally isolated zones with dedicated heatsinks and forced airflow paths for each hot section. Noise isolation techniques including filters and transformers prevent electrical noise from degrading network signals. Independent cooling paths and noise mitigation enable reliable operation despite the challenging thermal and electrical environment. The integrated networking, power distribution, thermal management, and noise isolation reduce cabling needs. The tailored POE switch design provides robust power and data transmission for aviation components without adding significant weight or complexity.

Abstract: The techniques described herein relate to methods and systems for three-dimensional (3D) inspection using deep learning model pre-trained with two-dimensional (2D) images. The techniques include transforming a 3D representation (e.g., captured 3D point cloud, 3D profiles, meshes, voxels) to a 2D map, which can be input to a deep learning model pre-trained with 2D images. The 2D map includes elements disposed in an array. Each element includes a vector of a number of geometric features. Such a configuration enables the 2D map to be in a structure acceptable by the 2D deep learning model. The 2D deep learning model generates an output based on the 2D map and provides the output to a subsystem for generating an inspection result. The inspection result can have a 3D result such as a surface area and/or volume.

Abstract: A tag characterizing a portion of a multi-view interactive digital media representation (MVIDMR) may be determined by applying a grammar to natural language data. The MVIDMR may include images of an object and may be navigable in one or more dimensions. An object model location for the tag identifying a location within a three-dimensional object model may be determined by applying the grammar to the natural language data. The tag may then be applied to the MVIDMR by associating it with two or more of the images at positions determined based on the object model location.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for illuminating a biometric aspect, such as periocular region features or iris features, with multiple illumination configurations to create multiple illumination channels for computer analysis are disclosed. Multiple illumination channels may be used for quality assurance by comparing the actual illumination channel property of a given image to the illumination channel that was activated for image capture. Images captured at the multiple illumination channels can also be used in biometric authentication by providing additional information for comparison to a stored template generated from images taken at multiple illumination channels during enrollment. Biometric authentication using a quality assurance process may be resistant to attempts to bypass biometric authentication.

A method includes performing a probe encoding on representations of a video input using a low complex encoder, generating a bitrate table using probe results from the probe encoding, computing a bitrate ladder, by a per-title algorithm, using the bitrate table, and encoding the video input using the bitrate ladder and a different encoder. The method may include, prior to performing the probe encoding, determining that the video input exceeds a threshold length, trimming the video input into trimmings of a given trimmed length, and combining a given number (i.e., subset) of trimmings into a shortened video input, wherein the probe encoding is performed on the shortened video input instead of the video input in full.
