Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods for processing a glass ribbon. A glass ribbon is supplied to an upstream side of a conveying apparatus comprising a conveyor device and a pulling device. The conveyor device establishes a primary plane of travel from the upstream side to a downstream side. The pulling device is located at the downstream side and applies a pulling force on the glass ribbon to convey the glass ribbon along a travel path that includes first, second and third bends, and into the primary plane of travel from a location downstream of the third bend and to the pulling device. At least one of the first, second, and third bends imparts a stress into a surface of the glass ribbon to flatten the glass ribbon. A viscosity of the glass ribbon at the third bend is greater than a viscosity of the glass ribbon at the first bend.

Abstract: Described are techniques for predicting when data associated with a user input is likely to be selected for deletion. The system may use a trained model to assist with such predictions. The trained model can be configured based on deletions associated with a user profile. An example process can including receiving user input data corresponding to the user profile, and processing the user input data to determine a user command. Based on characteristic data of the user command, the trained model can be used to determine that data corresponding to the user command is likely to be selected for deletion. The trained model can be iteratively updated based on additional user commands, including previously received user commands to delete user input data.

Abstract: Display systems for simultaneously directing different images to different viewers. A display system is constructed with a display panel with multiple folds that create a number of angled display surfaces. These angled surfaces are oriented so that some surfaces are angled in one direction to project one image to viewers at one location, and the remaining surfaces are angled in a different direction to project a different image to viewers at another location. The folded display panel may be actuated, to change the angles at which display surfaces are oriented, and thus adjust the directions in which images are displayed. In this manner, the display may project images to differing users as they change their locations. Multiple users may thus enjoy differing content at the same time, from the same display device.

Abstract: A document is received. The document is analyzed to discover text and structures of content included in the document. A result of the analysis is used to determine intermediate text representations of segments of the content included in the document, wherein at least one of the intermediate text representations includes an added text encoding the discovered structure of the corresponding content segment within a structural layout of the document. The intermediate text representations are used as an input to a machine learning model to extract information of interest in the document. One or more structured records of the extracted information of interest are created.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and computer implemented method for dynamic merchant configuration in a payment terminal for transacting in a virtual environment. The payment terminal receives a location information of a virtual user corresponding to a physical user performing a transaction in one of the one or more establishments configured in a virtual environment from a Virtual Reality (VR) device. Further, merchant and associated details corresponding to one of the one or more establishments is determined based on the location information upon the physical user initiating payment for the transaction using a physical payment card. Thereafter, a transaction message comprising the merchant and associated details is sent to an issuer system via a gateway associated with the merchant for authorization. Finally, a result of authorization of the transaction message is received from the issuer system via the gateway.

Abstract: Described is hard link handling when a directory snapshot exists that includes the hard link's connected file object. A hard link is created by allocating a virtual inode number for the hard link, with the virtual inode number mapped to a real inode number that identifies a real inode of the file object; the hard link is assigned weight. A total weight associated with the real inode is increased by the hard link weight, and a hard link data store is updated with an entry for the hard link. Upon receiving data write request to the hard link, weight data determines that the file object is shared as a result of the snapshot; the hard link is disassociated from the real inode file, and associated with a new real inode number and new real inode of a new file object. The data is written based on the new real inode.

Abstract: Techniques include introducing a neural generator configured to produce novel faces that can be rendered at free camera viewpoints (e.g., at any angle with respect to the camera) and relit under an arbitrary high dynamic range (HDR) light map. A neural implicit intrinsic field takes a randomly sampled latent vector as input and produces as output per-point albedo, volume density, and reflectance properties for any queried 3D location. These outputs are aggregated via a volumetric rendering to produce low resolution albedo, diffuse shading, specular shading, and neural feature maps. The low resolution maps are then upsampled to produce high resolution maps and input into a neural renderer to produce relit images.
