  • Publication number: 20240169146
    Abstract: Systems and methods include reception of a first post comprising text, identification of one or more prior posts similar to the first post from a plurality of prior posts based on the text of the first post and text of the plurality of prior posts, determination, for each identified one or more prior posts, of probabilities associated with each of two or more posting platforms, for each of the identified one or more posts, determination of a weighted probability associated with each of two or more posting platforms based on a similarity of the post to the first post and the probabilities associated with each of two or more posting platforms for the post, determination of one or more of the two or more posting platforms based on the weighted probabilities, and transmission of the first post to the determined one or more posting platforms.

  • Publication number: 20230004435
    Abstract: Systems include reception of a first set of data from a first posting platform, determination of a plurality of field definitions based on the first set of data, each field definition including a field and attributes associated with the field, transmission of the plurality of field definitions to the first posting platform, reception of one or more modifications to the plurality of field definitions from the first posting platform, generation of a second plurality of field definitions based on the one or more modifications to the plurality of field definitions, and storage of the second plurality of field definitions.

  • Publication number: 20180017668
    Abstract: The ranging system has an axis defining azimuthal coordinates around the axis; a panoramic projector adapted to project an illumination beam towards azimuthally-spaced areas around the axis; a panoramic collector being adapted to receive a return light beam from illuminated areas and to collect the return light beam onto a focal area; an array of time-of-flight (ToF) sensors positioned at the focal area, each ToF sensor of the array being adapted to sense an intensity of the return light beam incoming from the azimuthally-spaced areas; and a computing device configured to operate the panoramic projector and the array of ToF sensors in a synchronized manner allowing to determine, for each ToF sensor of the array, a range value indicative of the range between the panoramic projector and a target positioned in at least one of the azimuthally-spaced areas.

  • Patent number: 6643433
    Abstract: A polarization-combining fused-fiber optical coupler is made of polarization maintaining (PM) fibers spliced to non-birefringent single mode (SM) fibers which are fused and drawn near the splicing to form a coupler with an adiabatic tapered profile. The linearly polarized light injected into PM fibers travels through the coupler where the power of the two polarizations is combined and transmitted to one output fiber. The method for producing such coupler involves splicing a pair of PM fibers to a pair of SM fibers, then injecting linearly polarized light into each PM fiber and fusing and drawing SM fibers to form an adiabatic coupler with maximum power transmission at a desired wavelength going to only one output fiber.
