Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for adding dimensions to a target drawing. The technique includes generating a first set of node embeddings for a first set of nodes included in a target graph that represents the target drawing. The technique also includes receiving a second set of node embeddings for a second set of nodes included in a source graph that represents a source drawing, where one or more nodes included in the second set of nodes are associated with one or more source dimensions included in the source drawing. The technique further includes generating a set of mappings between the first and second sets of nodes based similarities between the first set of node embeddings and the second set of node embeddings, and automatically placing the one or more source dimensions within the target drawing based on the set of mappings.

Abstract: Methods and systems for modulating intraosseous nerves (e.g., nerves within bone) are provided. For example, the methods and systems described herein may be used to modulate (e.g., denervate, ablate) basivertebral nerves within vertebrae.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques that provide a “best” picture taken within a few seconds of the moment when a capture command is received (e.g., when the “shutter” button is pressed). In some situations, several still images are automatically (that is, without the user's input) captured. These images are compared to find a “best” image that is presented to the photographer for consideration. Video is also captured automatically and analyzed to see if there is an action scene or other motion content around the time of the capture command. If the analysis reveals anything interesting, then the video clip is presented to the photographer. The video clip may be cropped to match the still-capture scene and to remove transitory parts. Higher-precision horizon detection may be provided based on motion analysis and on pixel-data analysis.

The controller comprises a processing device comprising at least one first processing element; a time-indexed command (TIC) sequencer comprising at least one second processing element; and a plurality of driver controller elements configured to control the operation of respective components and associated with respective buffers and processing elements. The processing device is configured to generate commands and the TIC sequencer is configured to cause the time-indexed execution of the commands by the appropriate driver controller elements.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a training application generates a trained encoder that automatically generates shape embeddings having a first size and representing three-dimensional (3D) geometry shapes. First, the training application generates a different view activation for each of multiple views associated with a first 3D geometry based on a first convolutional neural network (CNN) block. The training application then aggregates the view activations to generate a tiled activation. Subsequently, the training application generates a first shape embedding having the first size based on the tiled activation and a second CNN block. The training application then generates multiple re-constructed views based on the first shape embedding. The training application performs training operation(s) on at least one of the first CNN block and the second CNN block based on the views and the re-constructed views to generate the trained encoder.
