Abstract: In various examples, images (e.g., novel views) of an object may be rendered using an optimized number of samples of a 3D representation of the object. The optimized number of the samples may be determined based at least on casting rays into a scene that includes the 3D representation of the object and/or an acceleration data structure corresponding to the object. The acceleration data structure may include features corresponding to characteristics of the object, and the features may be indicative of the number of samples to be obtained from various portions of the 3D representation of the object to render the images. In some examples, the 3D representation may be a neural radiance field that includes, as a neural output, a spatially varying kernel size predicting the characteristics of the object, and the features of the acceleration data structure may be related to the spatially varying kernel size.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for agentless attestation. Agentless attestation can measure the integrity of customer servers without requiring an agent software program to be downloaded to each of the enterprise computer devices. In particular, the system can integrate several standalone components to measure the integrity of monitored devices. This also allows the data center to authenticate, verify, audit, and update any hardware change, including a Platform Certificate.

Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided for use with golf training apparatus. The golf training apparatus comprises a physical movable platform including a physical movable platform surface. The GUI is arranged so that it can be associated with and/or communicatively coupled with the physical platform in use. The GUI includes or is arranged to display in use a virtual graphical representation (VGR) of the physical platform and/or physical movable platform surface with which it is associated with and/or communicatively coupled with.

Abstract: Golf training apparatus is provided including sensing means provided on, associated with and/or locatable on or with a golf club in use. At least one target means is provided that is detectable by the sensing means in use. The at least one target means is a target different to a golf ball that the golf club is to hit in use and is locatable separate to and remote from the sensing means and/or golf club in use. The golf training apparatus is arranged to detect the at least one target means and, once detected, use the detected position of the at least one target means to calibrate the sensing means, the apparatus and/or calibrate data being generated by the sensing means and/or apparatus in use.

Abstract: Systems and methods for content storage and retrieval are disclosed herein for accessing portions of a file at a client device. A client device receives a request to access a file at the client device. The file includes file portions that are stored at a web-based storage system in communication with the client device via a network. The client device provides the web-based storage system with access to a metafile stored on the client device. The metafile includes an identifier for each of the file portions for the file and an indication of whether each of the file portions are already stored on the client device. In response to the web-based storage system accessing the metafile stored on the client device to identify a set of file portions that is not stored on the client device, the client device receives the identified set of file portions from the web-based storage system via the network.

Abstract: The current document is directed to a meta-level management system (“MMS”) that aggregates information and functionalities provided by multiple underlying management systems in addition to providing additional information and management functionalities. In one implementation, the MMS creates and maintains a single inventory-and-configuration-management database (“ICMDB”), implemented using a graph database, to store a comprehensive inventory of managed entities known to, and managed by, the multiple underlying management systems. Each managed entity is associated with an entity identifier and is represented in the ICMBD by a node. Managed entities that are managed by two or more of the multiple underlying management systems are represented by nodes that include references to one or more namespaces.
