Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a membrane-less electrolyzer comprising a first electrode and a second electrode, a first fluidic channel configured to receive an electrolyte, a second fluidic channel configured to receive the electrolyte from the first fluidic channel, a third fluidic channel configured to receive the electrolyte from the first fluidic channel. The first fluidic channel being in fluidic communication with the second and third fluidic channels. The first fluidic channel is connected to the second and third fluidic channels via a plurality of inclined fluidic canals extending from the first fluidic channel to each of the second and third fluidic channels.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for detecting anomalies in closed captioning or other video presentation systems. Anomaly detection may involve comparing detected captions that are delivered to one or more end devices (return captions) with corresponding scheduled captions. Other types of information may also be similarly compared between original scheduled instances of information to be delivered with the actual (return) delivered information. Such other types of information may include, for example, ratings information (such as V-chip ratings and/or flags) and/or content (e.g., advertisement) insertion information such as SCTE-35 signaling.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for adding visual and/or sound effects to a content item to improve user experience. Addition of the visual and/or sound effects may be based on metadata associated with the content item.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes methods and systems for streaming high-performance virtual reality video using adaptive rate allocation. In particular, an adaptive rate allocation system partitions a panorama video into segments or tiles and assigns priorities to each tile or segment based on input (e.g., a viewport of field-of-view) from a user client device. Further, the adaptive rate allocation system streams each tile or segment to the user client device according to the adaptive rate allocation, which maximizes bandwidth efficiency and video quality. In this manner, the adaptive rate allocation system delivers higher quality content to regions in the panorama video where a user is currently looking/most likely to look.

Abstract: Described herein are methods, systems, and apparatuses for improved video frame analysis and classification. A computer vision model may be trained to predict whether a video frame(s) depicts a particular object(s), event(s), or imagery using color features of the video frame(s). Another computer vision model may focus on grayscale features of the video frame(s) (e.g., black and white features) to verify the prediction when the grayscale features of the video frame(s) indicate the particular object(s), event(s), or imagery is depicted in the video frame(s).

Abstract: The present invention concerns a membrane-less electrolyzer comprising a fluidic channel for receiving an electrolyte fluid; a first electrode and a second electrode located inside the fluidic channel, the first and second electrode permitting to extract a first gas and a second gas inside the fluidic channel from the electrolyte fluid, the first electrode and second electrode being separated by solely a surrounding fluid in the fluidic channel or the electrolyte; and a first fluidic transport channel for transporting the first gas to a first outlet and a second fluidic transport channel for transporting the second gas to a second outlet.

Abstract: A device having a water vapor microelectrolyzer cell including microstructured parallel electrodes where the water splitting reactions can take place, the microstructured electrodes being covered by a thin layer of solid-state ion conducting material to allow for the conduction of protons during the device operation, while permitting the diffusion of water from the vapor phase into the electrodes, as well as the diffusion of evolved oxygen and hydrogen gases from the electrodes into the vapor phase environment above the ion-conductor film.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a device for dispensing a unit dose water-soluble pouch containing a laundry additive during the spin cycle of a washing machine process having a spinning wash drum. The device is attached to the vertical center post of a washing machine and holds a water-soluble pouch above the high water level. During the spin cycle, the spinning center post will create sufficient centrifugal force so that the water-soluble pouch is released from the device. The water-soluble pouch will then fall into the laundry where the water-soluble pouch will dissolve when rinse water fills the machine thereby releasing the laundry additive to treat the washed articles.

Abstract: Aqueous compositions comprising a perborate salt and a polyol. The advantageous properties of the composition include increased solubility of the perborate salt, increased available oxygen stability in an aqueous environment, and the capacity to increase the pH upon the dilution. The compositions are useful for bleaching various surfaces, especially in laundry cleaning.

Abstract: A sher-thinnig lamellar gel detergent composition, employing non-neutralized fatty acid in a specific amount, depending on the total surfactant level. The weight % ratio of non-neutralized fatty acid to the total surfactant within a specific range, defined by the Gelling Index equation, results in gels with the desired properties. The inventive product offers an advantage of laundry pre-treater and a detergent in a single product.
