Abstract: Disclosed is an automated programming system for a neuromodulation device that is configured to assist a clinician to efficiently program the neuromodulation device for a particular patient. In particular, the assisted programming system comprises a stimulation user interface control that is configured to cause the intensity of the neural stimulus to ramp up with time as long as the patient continues to interact with the control. The value of stimulus intensity at which the patient ceases to interact with the control is recorded as a significant perceptual marker upon which subsequent steps in the assisted programming workflow are based. This user interface design takes advantage of the human withdrawal reflex, whereby the patient is likely to instinctively release the button upon receiving uncomfortable stimulation. The design therefore minimises the training burden placed on the patient in using the assisted programming system.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium for estimating the shape, size, mass, and health of fish are described. A pair of stereo cameras may be utilized to obtain off-axis images of fish in a defined area. The images may be processed, enhanced, and combined. Object detection may be used to detect and track a fish in images. A pose estimator may be used to determine key points and features of the detected fish. Based on the key points, a model of the fish is generated that provides an estimate of the size and shape of the fish. A regression model or neural network model can be applied to the fish model to determine characteristics of the fish.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for migrating a computer application from an entity's premises to a web services platform. Data from multiple sources on the entity's premises is gathered and normalized into a common format. The normalized data is used to create a topology of the network on the entity's premises. This topology is analyzed to determine whether a computer application executing on the entity's premises may be migrated to the web service platform.

Abstract: An item return for an item is identified and a workflow is determined based on first factors defined in customized rules. Resources associated with the workflow may be staged on devices associated with the item return and the workflow is initiated. When the item is detected as being present at a drop-off location for the item, item and customer information are gathered in accordance with the customized rules associated with the workflow. Security checks are processed using second factors defined in the customized rules. A decision is made based on the security checks as to whether the item return can continue processing with the workflow or as to whether an item return exception is to be raised for evaluation and/or inspection of the item and item return information collected before the item return exception was raised.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for imparting dynamic, non-linear and realistic movement and look and feel to a player's/virtual character's first-person limbs and hand-held object model, and procedurally animating a first-person virtual camera such that it simulates the movement of a camera handheld by the player/virtual character. To impart chaotic or random motion to the first-person limbs and hand-held object model a first module defines and implements first and second two dimensional mass-spring-damper systems, each of which is linked to the player's/virtual vector's view vector. Procedural animation or rotational shake is implemented by a second module by applying a coherent noise function to each of the six axes of the first-person virtual camera.

Abstract: Disclosed is an assisted programming system for a neuromodulation device that is configured to assist a clinician to efficiently program the neuromodulation device for a particular patient. In particular, the assisted programming system comprises a processor configured to ramp a stimulus intensity parameter to or from a predetermined target intensity while the neural stimuli are delivered by the device according to the ramping value of the stimulus intensity parameter. The ramp traverses stimulus intensities below a predetermined threshold at a faster rate than stimulus intensities above the predetermined threshold. The effect is to improve the apparent responsiveness of the neuromodulation device by reducing the amount of time spent traversing stimulus intensities below a perception threshold, while avoiding a sensation of abruptness.
