Abstract: Systems and methods for traffic measurement are disclosed. An image capture device is configured to generate image data including an area of interest within a physical environment containing at least one engagement feature. The image data is received and model input image data including a plurality of cropped images is generated by applying a zoom-in crop process to the image data. An image processing model generates a person count and dwell time. The image processing model receives the model input image data as an input. An engagement metric is generated based on the person count and the dwell time. The engagement metric is representative of engagement with the at least one engagement feature.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a mobile video conferencing interface with chat channel selection and file sharing integration. The video conferencing application also integrates with a chat messaging platform to provide streamlined access to multiple chat panels while still on a mobile device. A mobile device graphical user interface may include a video conference stream and access to a list of chat channels. The interface may allow a user to select a particular chat channel. In response to the selection, a messaging system retrieves messages corresponding to the chat channel and generates a chat panel. The chat panel is displayed along with the video conference stream. This interface is well-suited for mobile screens. The interface also allows for file sharing between chat panels displayed on the mobile device.

Abstract: This document relates to methods and materials for treating a mammal (e.g., a human) having, or at risk of developing, a polycystic disease (e.g., a polycystic kidney disease (PKD)). For example, methods and materials that can be used to increase a level of polycystin-1 (PC-1) polypeptides and/or polycystin-2 (PC-2) polypeptides within a mammal having, or at risk of developing, a polycystic disease) are provided. In some cases, nucleic acid designed to increase a level of PC-1 polypeptides and/or PC-2 polypeptides within a mammal can be administered to a mammal having, or at risk of developing, a polycystic disease to treat the mammal.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for integrating external contacts, events, and cloud storage systems with a messaging system. The messaging system may interface with one or more events systems and/or cloud storage systems while facilitating the delivery of messages. These may include chat and/or instant messages. Via application programming interface (API) calls to the events systems, the messaging system may retrieve contact information for generating calendar events. The messaging system may instruct the events system to generate an event and/or send invitations to the event. The messaging system may also instruct the events systems to invite contacts to a video conference. Via API calls to the cloud storage systems, the messaging system may access files stored by the cloud storage systems. The messaging system may share the files between users using chat panels and/or update file permissions on the cloud storage systems.

Abstract: Methods and materials for treating propionic acidemia are provided herein. For example, methods and materials for using AAVs to express a PCCA polypeptide and/or a PCCB polypeptide within a mammal to treat propionic acidemia are provided.

Abstract: Methods of tattooing and tattoo inking systems comprising a housing, an ink reservoir, a pump and a tattoo cartridge. According to a further embodiment the tattoo inking system comprises a system of channels and valves that allow the artist to provide ink to the tattoo cartridge while working and without dipping.

Abstract: Various embodiments are provided for configuring optimization problems from one or more sources in a computing environment by a processor. A knowledge graph may be generated from a knowledge domain and one or more data sources. One or more graph pattens may be applied to match one or more entities in the knowledge graph with one or more atomic optimization templates. An optimization problem configured from the one or more atomic optimization templates and a plurality of data may be executed.
