Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for, for example, periodically collecting physiological parameters in real-time from a plurality of subjects, for example temperature from cancer patients, heartbeat rates from persons being treated for coronary conditions, physiological orientation information mechanical shock and related parameters, for example from football players in danger of head trauma, and other physiological measurements which it real-time convey useful information. This information is coupled to a system which integrates the information, subjects it to criteria (for example doctor-specified dangerous condition criteria), communicates information and, optionally provides alarms to clinicians.

Abstract: A method for placing content in an augmented reality system. A notification is received regarding availability of new content to display in the augmented reality system. A confirmation is received that indicates acceptance of the new content. Three dimensional information that describes the physical environment is provided, to an external computing device, to enable the external computing device to be used for selecting an assigned location in the physical environment for the new content. Location information is received, from the external computing device, that indicates the assigned location. A display location on a display system of the augmented reality system at which to display the new content so that the new content appears to the user to be displayed as an overlay at the assigned location in the physical environment is determined, based on the location information. The new content is displayed on the display system at the display location.

Abstract: Methods and devices for manipulating the temperature of a surface are generally provided. The present disclosure relates to a device including one or more heating and/or cooling elements, or other suitable thermal adjustment apparatus(es), placed near a surface, such as the skin of a user. The device may be configured to generate one or more (optionally alternating) thermal profiles at the surface, which may include a series of thermal pulses and/or essentially continuous or semi-continuous thermal input, which may vary over time. Such thermal profiles, when suitably applied, may provide enhanced thermal sensations for a user which, in some cases, may provide the user with a more pleasurable thermal experience than would otherwise be the case without the generation of the thermal profiles. In some embodiments, an alternating thermal profile may include an average frequency, an oscillation window, and/or an average temperature, each of which may be adjustable.

This information is coupled to a system which integrates the information, subjects it to criteria (for example doctor-specified dangerous condition criteria), communicates information and, optionally provides alarms to clinicians. The invention allows for real-time monitoring of skull impacts, for example to players in a sports game, allowing the reliable identification of dangerous impacts at a quick determination whether I had cooling device should be promptly applied to minimize long-term injury.

Abstract: An example fluid collection assembly (100) includes a sheath (102) and a base (104). The sheath includes a fluid impermeable barrier (106) formed from at least a first panel (108) and a second panel (110). The first panel and the second panel at least partially define a chamber (112) therebetween. The fluid impermeable barrier also defines a fluid outlet (118) at a distal end of the sheath and an opening (114) at a proximal end of the sheath. The sheath also includes at least one porous material (122) disposed in the chamber. The base is permanently secured or configured to be permanently secured to the sheath. The base defines an aperture (124) that is aligned with the opening when the base is permanently attached to the sheath. The base is configured to be secured to a region about a penis of an individual with the aperture positioned over the penis.

Abstract: Machine learning systems and methods for validating workflows are provided. The system receives one or more digital images of a work action being performed, and processes the image using a hierarchical modeling process that includes a filter model and a cascaded expert model. The filter model processes the image to ascertain whether the image is suitable for use in validating completion of the work action. If the system determines that the image is suitable, the image is then processed by the expert model to classify whether the image depicts a scene occurring before, during, or after performance of the work action. The hierarchical modeling process can be utilized to validate different workflows based upon a specified workflow type. A plurality of hierarchical modeling processes can be applied in parallel to an input image in the event that a type of workflow to be validated is not specified in advance.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically detecting, classifying, and processing objects captured in an images or videos are provided. In one embodiment, the system receives an image from an image source and detects one or more objects in the image. The system performs a high-level classification of the one or more objects in the image. The system performs a specific classification of the one or more objects, determines a price of the one or more objects, and generates a pricing report comprising a price of the one or more objects. In another embodiment, the system captures at least one image or video frame and classifies an object present in the image or video frame using a neural network. The system adds the classified object and an assigned object code to an inventory and processes the inventory to assign the classified object a price.

Abstract: Computer vision systems and methods for hazard detection from digital images and videos are provided. The system obtains media content indicative of an asset, preprocesses the media content, and extracts, based at least in part on one or more feature extractors, features from the preprocessed media content. The system determines, based at least in part on one or more classifiers, a value associated with a hazard, which can indicate the likelihood of a media content having the hazard. The system determines that the media content includes the hazard based at least in part on a comparison of the value to a threshold value. The system can generate a visual indication in the image indicative of the hazard.

Abstract: Computer vision systems and methods for property scene understanding from digital images, videos, media and/or sensor information are provided. The system obtains media content indicative of an asset, performs feature segmentation and material recognition, performs object detection on the features, performs hazard detection to detect one or more safety hazards, and performs damage detection to detect any visible damage, to develop a better understanding of the property using one or more features in the media content. The system can output the feature segmentation and material detection, the hazard detection, the content feature detection, and the damage detection, and all other available models to an adjuster or other user on a user interface.

Abstract: An oven range appliance including a chamber liner defining a cooking chamber, as well as a cabinet enclosing the chamber liner in cooking chamber, is provided. The cabinet includes a side panel positioned at a first side of the cabinet defining a cooling channel between the chamber liner and the side panel of the cabinet. A diverter panel is provided extending from the side panel towards the chamber liner. The diverter panel blocks a flow of cooling air from the cooling channel at a location proximate a back side of the cabinet to increase a flow of cooling air from the cooling channel at a location proximate the front side of the cabinet.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a communications network having a plurality of wired communication cables is characterized by a central computer and a plurality of remote sensors connected with the cables at spaced locations for sampling data at the locations and providing an indication when a fault occurs. The central computer transmits measurement request signals to each remote sensor. In response to a request, the remote sensor samples data on the network at the unit location and sends a measurement of the sample to the central computer where the measurement is compared with baseline measurements for the location. If the measured data from the unit deviates from the baseline measurement, a fault is indicated.
