Abstract: The present invention relates, in various embodiments, to prediction of human subject states (e.g. physiological and/or psychological and/or neurological state) via a hybrid approach, which includes elements of AI-based classification and objective physiological analysis (such as blepharometric analysis). Embodiments are described by reference to applications in driver alertness monitoring. However, it will be appreciated that the technology is not limited as such, and has application in a broader range of context. For example, the technology is applicable to prediction of physiological states other than alertness level, and to implementation environments other than driver monitoring.

Abstract: A method of administering a survey includes collecting response data from an introductory question set selected from the questions of the survey. The method calculates disposition probabilities based on the response data and a probability difference between two of the disposition probabilities. The method ends the survey based on a comparison between the probability difference and a probability difference threshold criterion.

Abstract: An Augmented Reality (AR) wayfinder tracks the current location of a user within an indoor location relative to a path defined through the indoor location for the user. The path is broken into segments, each segment is a straight line between two nodes, and each node represents either a starting point in the path, a turn along the path, or an ending point in the path. As the user traverses the path, a remaining distance between the user device and the next node in the path is calculated. An AR object with attributes that correlate to the remaining distance to the next node is blended into and superimposed into a video that the user is viewing through the user device of the physical environment as the user travels along the path.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes receiving, at a circuit board, a power from a power supply. The method further includes filtering, at the circuit board and via a power filter having at least three choke filters, the power to produce a filtered power. The method further includes dividing, at a first portion of a circuit on the circuit board, a power associated with the filtered power into a first power and a second power, a characteristic of the first power differing from a characteristic of the second power by a factor of at least 1.5 or at most one half.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for predicting future trajectories of agents in an environment. In one aspect, a system comprises one or more computers configured to receive a data set comprising multiple training examples. The training examples include scene data comprising respective agent data for multiple agents and a ground truth trajectory for a target agent that represents ground truth motion of the target agent after a corresponding time point. The one or more computers obtain data identifying one or more of the multiple agents as non-causal agents for each training example. A non-causal agent is an agent whose states do not cause the ground truth trajectory for the target agent to change. The one or more computers generate a respective modified training example from each of the multiple training examples.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method can include detecting, at a first circuit, the first circuit being operatively coupled to a memory device having a set of memory portions. The method can include receiving, from the memory device and at the first circuit, a set of encryption key portions after the detecting, each encryption key portion from the encryption key portions being a unique portion of an encryption key. The method can include assembling the encryption key by ordering each encryption key portion from the set of encryption key portions based on (1) a first previously defined list and (2) a second previously defined list. The first previously defined list and the second previously defined list each is stored at or accessible by the first circuit but not stored at or accessible by the memory device. The method can include authorizing access to a second circuit based on the encryption key.
