Abstract: Described herein are techniques for learning neural reflectance shaders from images. A set of one or more machine learning models can be trained to optimize an illumination latent code and a set of reflectance latent codes for an object within a set of input images. A shader can then be generated based on a machine learning model of the one or more machine learning models. The shader is configured to sample the illumination latent code and the set of reflectance latent codes for the object. A 3D representation of the object can be rendered using the generated shader.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a system and method for effectively managing, transporting, and taking care of patients in a hospital facility. Primarily this is done through the use of an automated bed with corresponding controls and devices installed within the facility. Precautionary fail safes are implemented such that any medical profession can override the system should an error be detected. Constant monitoring and control of all automated beds may occur from a centralized system. These systems and methods will allow for better allocation of hospital resources, providing much more efficient care to all patients.

Abstract: A magnetic system for an automobile having a body portion and a base portion with a first and second set of electromagnets placed on the base station and the body portion respectively and wherein the body portion is adapted to raise off the base portion when sufficient electricity is supplied to the first and second set of electromagnets. A plurality of slider mechanisms operationally attached to the automobile, each having a groove portion running in the vertical direction, allow the body portion to be raised off the base station.

Abstract: A system and method for deplaning and boarding airplanes. The system is comprised of a track that provides a loop for transferring seats from the airplane, to a deboarding area, to a boarding area, and back to the airplane. Seats with integrated storage compartments lower onto the track via a connector for transporting the seat along the track and through the system.
