Abstract: In some examples, a first device receives a stream of application audio data, encodes the stream of application audio data, and in response to detecting an end of the stream of application audio data, provides pre-encoded filler audio data from a buffer in the first device as an encoded stream of filler audio data. The first device transmits the encoded stream of application audio data and the encoded stream of filler audio data in an encoded output data stream over a transport to a second device.

Abstract: A body stretching system, including a limb stretching unit, including a main body, a gripping structure disposed on at least a portion of the main body to removably connect to a first limb of a user, and a ratchet assembly disposed within at least a portion of the main body and connected to the gripping structure to removably connect to a second limb of the user and/or a stationary object and stretch the first limb away from or towards the second limb and/or the stationary object by increasing a tension level between the first limb and the second limb in response to moving the gripping structure, and a rack assembly removably connected to the limb stretching unit to facilitate stretching.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for assisting vehicle operation for collision avoidance. One method involves determining a horizontal adjustment for the vehicle based at least in part on an output from a collision avoidance system and displaying, on a display device, a graphical indication of the horizontal adjustment at a position on the display device with respect to a reference position of a second graphical indication of a current orientation of the vehicle resulting in a distance between the position of the graphical indication and the reference position of the second graphical indication corresponding to the horizontal adjustment. The distance dynamically updates in response to changes to the orientation of the vehicle.

Abstract: A computerized system and method for user interface management provides an augmented reality-based experience that delivers real-time visual cues to a cognitively impaired person, that monitors visual recognition performance, and that provides visual recognition training based on observed visual recognition performance. The system uses image/facial recognition to identify persons/places/objects encountered by a person/dementia sufferer and captured by a camera of a computing device, retrieves information associated with identified person/place/object, and displays retrieved information associated with identified person/place/object to the person/dementia sufferer via the device, e.g., in an augmented reality overlay to an image captured by the camera. The information may identify the identified person's relationship with dementia sufferer and other pertinent details. Accordingly, for example, a person with cognitive impairment can quickly assess who is approaching them, based on facial recognition.

Abstract: In some examples, a terrain awareness device includes processing circuitry configured to determine a terrain feature in a travel path of the ownship vehicle. The processing circuitry is also configured to present, on a display, a first graphical user interface indicating the terrain feature. The terrain awareness device also includes a memory configured to store a location of the terrain feature, and the terrain awareness device is configured to receive traffic data from a traffic device. The processing circuitry is further configured to determine a location of a second vehicle based on the traffic data and determine that the ownship first vehicle has been instructed to synchronize with a second vehicle. The processing circuitry is configured to generate a second graphical user interface indicating that the ownship vehicle has been instructed to synchronize with the second vehicle and present the second graphical user interface on the display.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling a computerized device's display to provide a user interface that renders compact and informative graphical user interface images, particularly in a medical care management device in which a large amount of information is required by the user, and a size of the display device is relatively small. The system and method can deliver structured guidance to medical personnel to promote rendering of medical care in compliance with predetermined care protocols, and automatedly logs, and/or guides the user to log, events and occurrences during the medical emergency for accurate logging of same. Multiple independent cyclical numerical task timers, graphical progress indicators, and cycle counters may be displayed concurrently within a single field of view/window within a display device's display area. Expiration of a cycle time may be reflected by a color change, and initiate text or other prompting according to a predefined care protocol.

Abstract: A system, apparatus and a method for transmitting continuous audio data configured to mitigate data discontinuities in a receiving device. The method may mitigate data discontinuities by transmitting a continuous stream of audio data that has reduced changes to the audio data characteristics. The method may transmit filler audio data when no application audio data is available. The application audio data and the filler audio data are processed to reduce changes to the audio data characteristics in each stream.

Abstract: An audio signal is conveyed more efficiently by transmitting or recording a baseband of the signal with an estimated spectral envelope and a noise-blending parameter derived from a measure of the signal's noise-like quality. The signal is reconstructed by translating spectral components of the baseband signal to frequencies outside the baseband, adjusting phase of the regenerated components to maintain phase coherency, adjusting spectral shape according to the estimated spectral envelope, and adding noise according to the noise-blending parameter. Preferably, the transmitted or recorded signal also includes an estimated temporal envelope that is used to adjust the temporal shape of the reconstructed signal.
