Abstract: A system and method for biologically monitoring the fitness of an athlete, and providing a warning when an overtraining condition is determined in order to reduce injury. Through implementation of an efficient system architecture, micro-artificial intelligence use is practical for mobile situations where internet coverage is deficient or non-existent.

Abstract: A system and method for image recognition registration of a person into an event. The person is registered in the event using image recognition technology. A digital image of the person taken by a camera is compared with a stored profile image of the person to identify the person and enter them into the event without the need for the person to pre-register for the particular event. Enhanced recognition techniques incorporating pattern recognition may be used to increase identity accuracy.

Abstract: An identification validation system and method may include detecting that a first age restricted item has been selected for purchase at a first point of sale by a user, determining that an age validation is not enabled, requiring that the user submit an identification instrument to verify an age of the user, after the purchase is complete, prompting the user to enable the age validation feature of the mobile wallet application of the user mobile device, directing a software application loaded on the user mobile device to access at least one biometric data input functionality of the user mobile device to capture the at least one biometric of the user, and comparing biometric features of the user captured by at least one camera.

Abstract: Various shaped abrasive particles are disclosed. Each shaped abrasive particle includes a body having at least one major surface and a side surface extending from the major surface.

Abstract: Methods are provided for fabricating electrochromic devices that mitigate formation of short circuits under a top bus bar without predetermining where top bus bars will be applied on the device. Devices fabricated using such methods may be deactivated under the top bus bar, or may include active material under the top bus bar. Methods of fabricating devices with active material under a top bus bar include depositing a modified top bus bar, fabricating self-healing layers in the electrochromic device, and modifying a top transparent conductive layer of the device prior to applying bus bars.

Abstract: A voltage converter comprising a voltage input, a transformer comprising a primary winding coupled with the voltage input, a main switch coupled at a node with the primary winding, a snubber circuit coupled with the voltage input and with the node, the snubber circuit comprising a controllable switch having a gate and a source. A control circuit is coupled with the main switch and configured to turn the main switch on and off to convert an input voltage supplied to the voltage input to an output voltage distinct from the input voltage. The gate is coupled with the source to prevent the controllable switch from turning on.

Abstract: An implantable drug delivery device includes a proximal portion, a distal portion, and an elongate portion disposed between the proximal portion and the distal portion. The proximal portion is angled, relative to the elongate portion. The distal portion is angled, relative to the elongate portion. The drug delivery device is configured for insertion into a punctum of an eye, such that at least the distal portion and the elongate portion fully reside in the punctum of the eye when the drug delivery device is inserted.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus to constrain a search are described. A selection of one or more items of a search result set by a user may be obtained. One or more attributes of the one or more selected items may be evaluated. One or more filters are identified based on the evaluated attributes.

Abstract: An athlete tracking system and method for tracking an athlete during training sessions. The system includes a mobile tracking device wearable around a portion of the athlete, and a training log server for maintaining an athlete profile that includes a training record updatable by the athlete device and a training plan supplied by a coach.

Abstract: Improvements to graphics processing pipelines are disclosed. More specifically, the vertex shader stage, which performs vertex transformations, and the hull or geometry shader stages, are combined. If tessellation is disabled and geometry shading is enabled, then the graphics processing pipeline includes a combined vertex and graphics shader stage. If tessellation is enabled, then the graphics processing pipeline includes a combined vertex and hull shader stage. If tessellation and geometry shading are both disabled, then the graphics processing pipeline does not use a combined shader stage. The combined shader stages improve efficiency by reducing the number of executing instances of shader programs and associated resources reserved.

Abstract: A contactless system and method for mass attendee event venue entry and item delivery system for facilitating expeditious and controlled entry of an influx of people to the event without overwhelming event venue employees or resources. A digital entry image of a person is taken by a camera (106) as the person moves through a photo zone (124). The digital entry image is compared using facial recognition technology with a stored profile image of the person to identify the person and confirm authorized entry into the event without the need for the person to present a ticket or pass for the particular event. Procurement and delivery of any item pre-selected by the person directly to the person's allocated seating may be confirmed using the same facial recognition image comparison used to confirm authorized entry of the person into the event venue.

Abstract: A method includes receiving information associated with a drug product, the information comprising a plurality of characteristics; filtering the information based on at least one of the plurality of characteristics to identify one of a plurality of artificial intelligence engines; and predicting, using the one of the plurality of artificial intelligence engines that was identified, a National Drug Code (NDC) for the drug product or verifying, using the one of the plurality of intelligence engines that was identified, whether the drug product matches a target drug product.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing geometry work in parallel on multiple chiplets are disclosed. A system includes a chiplet processor with multiple chiplets for performing graphics work in parallel. Instead of having a central distributor to distribute work to the individual chiplets, each chiplet determines on its own the work to be performed. For example, during a draw call, each chiplet calculates which portions to fetch and process of one or more index buffer(s) corresponding to one or more graphics object(s) of the draw call. Once the portions are calculated, each chiplet fetches the corresponding indices and processes the indices. The chiplets perform these tasks in parallel and independently of each other. When the index buffer(s) are processed, one or more subsequent step(s) in the graphics rendering process are performed in parallel by the chiplets.

Abstract: Systems and techniques, including special messages and state machines, are described that configures an intermediate site to dynamically trigger creation of and removal of a dynamic conduit between two sites based on usage that is tracked at the sites. The intermediate site providing WAN-to-WAN forwarding between the two sites, monitors throughput statistics on each local WAN link (LWL) associated with the two sites. If traffic between the two sites passes a configured first threshold or if LWL usage passes a configured second threshold, the intermediate site sends a message to the two sites to set up a dynamic conduit directly coupling the two sites. Busy lists are used to keep track of eligible site pairs. Once a dynamic conduit is set up between two sites, a grow technique tests the dynamic conduit increasing communication flows between the two sites each configured sampling period before putting the conduit in normal use.
