Abstract: A method for tuning a resonant frequency of wireless communication circuitry on a multichip module including a plurality of chips includes applying an electrical insulator to an upper surface of the multichip module; creating a plurality of openings in the electrical insulator, each opening being positioned at a successive one of the bond pads to be electrically connected to create a plurality of exposed bond pads; applying metal to each exposed bond pad to form a successive one of a plurality of interconnect bases; removing a portion of the layer of photoresist to create a plurality of bridge supports, each bridge support positioned between a successive pair of interconnect bases; applying metal to each bridge support and associated interconnect bases to form a successive one of the interconnect traces; removing the bridge supports; and disconnecting one or more of the interconnect traces as necessary to obtain a target resonant frequency.

Abstract: In computer graphics, texture refers to a type of surface, including the material characteristics, that can be applied to an object in an image. A texture may be defined using numerous parameters, such as color(s), roughness, glossiness, etc. In some implementations, a texture may be represented as an image that can be placed on a three-dimensional (3D) model of an object to give surface details to the 3D object. To reduce a size of textures (e.g. for storage and transmission), the present disclosure provides, in one embodiment, for compression of a texture set using a non-linear function and quantization. In another embodiment, the disclosure provides for compression of one or more textures using a non-linear function configured to compress textures with an arbitrary number of channels and/or an arbitrary ordering of channels.

Abstract: A display holding apparatus includes a base, a vertical member, and a bracket. The vertical member is attachable to the base in one of two different orientations to form a stand. The bracket is attachable to the vertical member of the stand in one of four different orientations. The four different bracket orientations includes a low landscape orientation, a high landscape orientation, a low portrait orientation, and a high portrait orientation. A display is attachable to the bracket in one of the four bracket orientations. In an embodiment, the base is mounted on a top surface of a transaction terminal.

Abstract: A system can be utilized to retrieve media content and rating schemas, to determine maturity ratings for media content. The media content can be utilized to determine segments of data as building blocks associated with mature content. The building blocks can be mapped to content descriptors and rating levels associated with the rating schemas. The building blocks can be compared the media content to identify portions of the media content that have characteristics represented by the building blocks. The building blocks representing the characteristics in the portions of the media content can be utilized to select content descriptors and rating levels associated with the media content. The selected content descriptor and selected rating levels can be utilized to control how, and/or whether, the media content is made available for output to the consumers.

Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products. A computing system causes presentation of first and second types of contact records that are available for a user-selected geographic area, along with indications of quantities of the types of contact records. User input is received that specifies amounts of the first and second types of contact records. The computing system provides contact information for the user-specified amounts of the first and second types of contact records.

Abstract: The present invention relates to certain substituted AHR agonist compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds and to methods of using the compounds to treat immune-mediated diseases.

Abstract: In some implementations, a method may include obtaining target fault data indicating a preselected fault for a vehicle having a hydrogen source. In addition, the method may include obtaining vehicle fault data indicating a fault of the vehicle. The method may include identifying a match between the fault and the preselected fault. Moreover, the method may include purging, in response to the identifying the match, hydrogen from the hydrogen source so as to reduce consequences of a battery thermal event by reducing the likelihood of a hydrogen-fueled fire.

Abstract: A spray device, method, and system for delivering an aerosolized therapeutic agent to a body cavity of a patient, for example, in conjunction with administration of chemotherapeutic agents. A longitudinal spray device/nebulizer that directs an aerosolized substance in both an axial direction and a radial direction.

Abstract: The disclosed method may include configuring one or more brakes based on a braking-related attribute expected at a geographic location being traversed by a personal mobility vehicle. By configuring the application of brakes of a personal mobility vehicle based on terrain, environmental conditions, and other geographic features, the system may reduce the risk of the vehicle skidding or tipping due to over-braking. In some embodiments, a rider may use a single brake lever to indicate a desire to brake and the system may make determinations about how to apply a combination of mechanical and electrical brakes to front and back wheels based at least in part on the location of the personal mobility vehicle. By configuring brake engagement based on a combination of controls and map data, the system may improve user experience and user safety, especially for inexperienced riders.

Abstract: The present invention includes compounds of formula (I) and methods for its preparation and treatment of disorders with activated peroxisome preoliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG), particularly cancer.

Abstract: Automated query retry includes selecting a first node of a plurality of nodes of an execution platform in response to a query. The first node is configured with a first version of a database platform. A first execution of the query is performed using the first version of the database platform at the first node. The method further includes detecting the first execution results in a failed execution. A second execution of the query is scheduled. The second execution uses at least one of the first version of the database platform or a second version of the database platform configured at a second node of the plurality of nodes. The second version is released after the first version. A cause of the failed execution of the query at the first node is determined based at least in part on a result of the second execution of the query.

Abstract: A display includes two-integrated cameras. A first camera is situated in a top right corner of a front display surface of the display and a second camera is situated in a top left corner of the front display surface. The display is connected to a transaction terminal with the first camera focused on a bagging area associated with the transaction terminal and with the second camera focused on a staging area associated with the transaction terminal. Each camera captures images of items and the item images are streamed over a high-speed display port directly to the transaction terminal. The transaction terminal performs item recognition, item tracking, and auditing on the items based the item images during transaction processing at the transaction terminal.

Abstract: A room manager can generate mappings for a real-world room that support a shared XR environment. For example, the real-world room can include real-world objects and surfaces, such as a table(s), chair(s), wall(s), door(s), window(s), etc. The room manager can generate XR object definitions based on information received about the real-world room, object(s), and surface(s). For example, the room manager can implement a flow that guides a user equipped with an XR system to provide information for the XR object definitions, such as real-world surfaces that map to the XR object(s), borders (e.g., measured using a component of the XR system), such as borders on real-world surfaces, semantic information (e.g., number of seat assignments at an XR table, size of XR objects, etc.), and other suitable information. Implementations generate previews of the shared XR environment, such as a local preview and a remote preview.
