Abstract: A media search system is described here that finds existing media based on matching metadata and links them together for orderly viewing. The system uses social media providers and artificial intelligence and/or machine learning and or other public APIs to search available metadata of media stored by each provider to find matching metadata for what a person is looking for in a specified area. The system may apply artificial intelligence (AI) to generate additional criteria to use for the search to find media responsive to the person's request. The system then groups the discovered media according to the found metadata and AI may also contribute suggestions for organizing the discovered media. Once the media is grouped together, the system allows the user to switch between media within the same group. Thus, the media search system makes the wealth of available media more accessible to people looking for a particular event.

Abstract: A locking mechanism for a slide out tray system may have a cam that is connected to a lock rod. A lock bar lever may be rotatable about an offset portion, such that when the cam is rotated, the end of the lock bar lever in contact with the cam is pushed upwards, thus pushing the opposite end of the lock bar lever downwards to push the locking plate down, allowing the slide out tray system to slide into a closed position. A bushing lock may interact with lock rod flanges. The lock rod flanges roll over and are supported by a bushing. When the bushing meets a space between the lock rod flanges, the lock rod may automatically rotate such that the flange contacts an edge of the bushing lock, thus preventing the lock rod and tray system from extending any further.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein that use passive metasurfaces for optical domain image processing, reducing power consumption, latency, and/or computational load in computer vision. As an example, an optical detection device may include an optical assembly that generates multiple copies of an image, which are processed by an array of metasurface filters. Each metasurface filter applies a predefined pattern to a specific image copy. The filtered image copies are used to identify features of interest with reduced computational demands. For example, a first filter may target a first feature, while a second filter targets a second feature. The intensity of the optical radiation output by each filter is used to determine a confidence level that each respective feature is present in the image.

Abstract: A process to recover nickel, cobalt and copper by co-processing copper-containing sulphide concentrate feed containing one or more of arsenic, antimony, and bismuth, and laterite ore feed containing nickel and cobalt by pressure oxidative leaching. The sulphide concentrate and oxygen are controlled to produce sulphuric acid to leach nickel, cobalt, copper and acid soluble impurities into a liquid phase of an acidic leach slurry, to precipitate iron compounds and a majority of the arsenic, antimony and bismuth as solids, and to produce heat to heat the incoming feeds to a temperature above 230° C. Reacted slurry is withdrawn, solids are separated, and the PLS solution contains the nickel, cobalt, copper and acid soluble impurities. A first solution purification stage on the PLS neutralizes free acid, precipitates one or more of iron, aluminum, chromium and silicon, and, separates as solids, the precipitated impurities and other solids from a first purified solution.

Abstract: Described are systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for wireless in-ear-monitoring (IEM) of audio. A system includes transmitter(s) configured to map orthogonal sub-carriers of a digital signal to narrowband receivers to form receiver-allocated audio channels, modulate the digital signal, and transmit the signal as an ultra-high frequency (UHF) analog carrier wave comprising the orthogonal sub-carriers to the nearby receiver. A narrowband receiver is configured to demodulate and sample the sub-carriers allocated to the receiver. Sub-carriers can be positioned orthogonal to one another in adjacent sub-bands of the frequency domain and beacon symbols and pilot signals can be iteratively provided in the same portion of the frequency domain for each channel. The receiver can use non-data-aided and data-aided approaches for synchronization of the time domain and frequency domain waveforms of the received signal to the transmitted signal prior to sampling the allocated sub-carriers.

Abstract: A person support apparatus, such as a bed, cot, stretcher, or the like, includes an exit detection system that has, in some embodiments, multiple user-selectable modes. A first mode issues an alert in response to a static condition being met and the second mode issues an alert in response to a dynamic condition being met. The static condition may be defined by an unchanging boundary that triggers an alert if the occupant's center of gravity crosses the boundary. The dynamic condition may be defined by a changing boundary that triggers an alert if the occupant's center of gravity crosses it. The changing boundary may change based upon the occupant's height, weight, BMI, vital sign, or other characteristic. The changing boundary may also change based upon a position of one or more components of the person support apparatus, such as a siderail or Fowler section.
