Abstract: A method of real time monitor and control of a dynamic environment may include obtaining image data from a camera system directed towards a portion of a dynamic environment. The method may include identifying a first object and a second object in the image data. The method may include analyzing motion of the first object relative to the second object. The method may include identifying that a defined circumstance exists in the dynamic environment based on presence of a property of in the analyzed motion that exceeds an operating threshold. Responsive to the defined circumstance existing in the dynamic environment, the method may include generating a control signal that is configured to mitigate the defined circumstance and communicating the control signal to a device related to the first object such that an operational state of the first object is modified to bring the property within the operating threshold.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to determining a next vehicle task for a vehicle of a fleet. Vehicle data from the vehicle, charger data about at least one charger, and demand data may be received and used to determine the next vehicle task. The vehicle may be directed to the next vehicle task. Determining a next vehicle task may further be based on predictions made using the vehicle data, the charger data, and the demand data. Heuristics may also be used in determining a next vehicle task.

Abstract: Apparatus operative via executable software to quantify building metrics using artificial intelligence analysis of a design plan. A design plan is represented using multiple dynamic components. Each dynamic component may include a parameter changeable via the user interactive interface. The dynamic components may be arranged in a user interactive interface to form a first set of boundaries, including a respective length and area, and defining at least a portion of a first unit. AI is used to determine a longest path of egress and a supportable occupancy load that may be used to determine compliance with parameters of a given code. The AI may assess whether a building described in the design plans complies with a relevant code set forth by an authority having jurisdiction. Codes may include, for example, codes enforcing fire safety and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Abstract: We provide a system that detects skin contact reactions to a set of allergens. During operation, the system enables a user to acquire an image of a patch area through a camera in a portable device, wherein the patch area is located on the skin of a patient, and wherein a patch containing the set of allergens was applied to the patch area for a period of time and removed before the image was acquired. Next, the system preprocesses the image so that a resulting preprocessed image of the patch area has a prespecified size and orientation. The system then performs image-processing operations on the preprocessed image to identify regions of the patch area corresponding to positive skin contact reactions. The system labels each identified region with a specific allergen that was applied to the region to produce test results, which identify specific allergens that produced positive skin contact reactions.

Abstract: Methods, systems and instructions stored on computer-readable media for generating a first data stream and a second data stream. The first data stream is spread using a first gold code unique to a first tag. The second data stream is spread using a second gold code unique to a second tag. The spread first data stream and the spread second data stream are combined into a combined data stream. The combined data stream is transmitted to the first tag and the second tag.

Abstract: Methods, systems and instructions stored on computer-readable media for generating, at a first node, a plurality of data units. The plurality of data units are spread with a common pseudo-noise (PN) code that is used by a plurality of nodes, including the first node and a second node, that are in communication with an access point. A random timing offset is determined, and a first data unit is transmitted to the access point at a first time based upon a slot start time and the random timing offset. The first data unit is transmitted while at least a portion of a second signal is transmitted from the second node such that both the first data unit and the second signal are received by the access point. The second signal is transmitted at a second time based on the slot time and a second random timing offset.

One or more antennae are selected to transmit the spread data stream based upon the first signal strength and the second signal strength. The data stream is transmitted using the one or more selected antennae.

The radial outflow bores extend radially from the plurality of peripheral bores. The target body defines a plurality of liquid coolant flow paths. Each liquid coolant flow path runs from a respective groove to at least one of the first groove end and the second groove end of the respective groove, through at least one peripheral bore, and through at least one radial outflow bore.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for receiving a timing signal at a first access point, wherein the timing signal is also received at a second access point. A first time is synchronized at the first access point with a second time at the second access point based upon the received timing signal. The first access point is configured with a spreading code and a transmit frequency. The second access point is also configured with the spreading code and the transmit frequency. The spreading code of the first access point is synchronized with the spreading code of the second access point using the timing signal. A message is transmitted from the first access point to the node and from the second access point to the node.
