  • Publication number: 20240134910
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that search videos and other media content to identify items, objects, faces, or other entities within the media content. Detectors identify objects within media content by, for instance, detecting a predetermined set of visual features corresponding to the objects. Detectors configured to identify an object can be trained using a machine learned model (e.g., a convolutional neural network) as applied to a set of example media content items that include the object. The systems comprise an integrated detection unit configured to record media content, identify preferred content, and communicate the identifications of preferred content for storage in a computationally efficient manner.

  • Patent number: 11952293
    Abstract: There is described an apparatus for disinfecting a fluid, such as water. The apparatus includes a housing having a fluid inlet for inflow of a fluid to be disinfected, and a fluid outlet for outflow of the fluid to be disinfected. The apparatus further includes one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs) operable to emit ultraviolet (UV) light for disinfecting the fluid to be disinfected. A fluid flow path extends from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet. The fluid flow path is configured such that, when the fluid to be disinfected flows along the fluid flow path, the fluid to be disinfected flows sufficiently close to the one or more LEDs so as to absorb heat generated by the one or more LEDs.

  • Publication number: 20230341988
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to providing a dynamic graphical user interface for efficiently presenting users with relevant ride information throughout the fulfilment of a ride request. In some embodiments, the system detects a trigger event during a ride, and based on detecting the trigger event, the system expands or collapses an information portion within a graphical user interface. When in a collapsed state, for example, the information portion of the graphical user interfaces includes a first set of content. Upon detecting a trigger event, the system dynamically expands the information portion to provide a second set of content that includes information associated with the detected trigger.

  • Patent number: 11759631
    Abstract: Paddle leads and delivery tools, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. A representative system is for use with a signal delivery paddle that is elongated along a longitudinal axis, and has a paddle length and a first cross-sectional area distribution that includes a first maxima. The system comprises a delivery tool including a proximal handle and a distal connection portion positioned to removably couple to the signal delivery paddle. The paddle and the delivery tool together have a combined second cross-sectional area distribution along the length of the paddle, with a second maxima that is no greater than the first maxima.

  • Publication number: 20230074863
    Abstract: A system for prevention of electrostatic discharge from a payment card to a point of sale (POS) device comprising an integrated circuit card (ICC) socket, includes a spring member comprising a first end electrically coupled to a second end. The first end is electrically coupled to an electrical ground, the first end is mechanically coupled to the POS device, and the second end is positioned for contact with a top edge of the payment card. When the payment card is inserted into the ICC socket and the top edge comes into contact with the second end, the first end and the second end form a first electrical path for electrostatic discharge between the payment card and the electrical ground.
