Abstract: Provided herein is a system, apparatus, and method for venting a direct chill casting mold by venting excess casting gas and retaining oxide from atop a casting during the direct chill casting process. Methods of venting casting gas from a direct chill casting mold include: supplying the direct chill casting mold with molten metal through a transition plate; supplying a casting gas through a casting surface of the direct chill casting mold; venting the casting gas from a gas pocket in the transition plate, wherein venting the casting gas from the gas pocket in the transition plate is performed in response to a pressure of the casting gas in the gas pocket reaching a predetermined pressure.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable injury prediction using one or more processors for receiving a time-varying signal of sensor measurements from a sensor device associated with a user. The processor(s) generate time windows of the time-varying signal, including a series of the sensor measurements across a predetermined time period, and generate motion features based at least in part on the series of the sensor measurements of the time windows. The processor(s) utilize an injury risk classification machine learning model to predict an injury risk during each time window based at least in part on the motion features. An injury alert message is generated based at least in part on the injury risk being predicted; and transmitting the injury alert message to at least one user computing device.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a language translation services within a Rich Communication Services (RCS) messaging infrastructure to facilitate translating RCS message sent from an RCS-compatible sender device to an RCS-compatible recipient device or a legacy recipient device. An RCS messaging server (RMS) may detect a language value corresponding to a language preference parameter to translate the RCS message based on the language value. The language value may be passed to the RMS (1) from the sender device via an invite message of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), (2) from the recipient device via an accept message of the SIP, (3) from the RCS message itself, or (4) via communication with a home subscription server (HSS).

Abstract: Methods, techniques, apparatus, and algorithms are described for robustly measuring real-world distances using any mobile device equipped with an accelerometer and monocular camera. A general software implementation processes 2D video, precisely tracking points of interest across frames to estimate the unsealed trajectory of the device, which is used to correct the device's inertially derived trajectory. The visual and inertial trajectories are then aligned in scale space to estimate the physical distance travelled by the device and the true distance between the visually tracked points.
