Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for performing generating AR experiences on a messaging platform. The methods and systems perform operations including: receiving, from a client device, a request to access an augmented reality (AR) experience; adding one or more AR elements to a first image captured by the client device, the first image depicting a real-world object; storing data representing a position of the one or more AR elements relative to the real-world object, the data being maintained after the AR experience is terminated; receiving a request to resume the AR experience after the AR experience has been terminated; and in response to receiving the request to resume the AR experience, accessing the data that was stored prior to termination of the AR experience to generate a display of the AR experience that depicts the one or more AR elements at a particular position within a second image.

Abstract: A pillow includes a first pillow cushion consisting essentially of a gelatinous elastomer that is sized and configured to support a head and neck of a person using the pillow cushion and a second pillow cushion coupled thereto. The pillow cushion has deformable wall members located and configured to define voids therebetween such that the deformable wall members may be displaced into adjacent voids upon deformation of the deformable wall members. The deformable wall members are configured to buckle when a pressure applied to a cushioning surface of the first pillow cushion, in a direction perpendicular to a first major surface, exceeds a threshold pressure level. A pillow cover covers the first pillow cushion and the second pillow cushion. A method of fabricating a pillow includes enclosing such first and second pillow cushions in a pillow cover.

Abstract: Changing a lighting mode for a human interface device is described herein. A first lighting mode can be initiated for a human interface device. Keys on the human interface device can be selected over a period of time at a frequency that is within a defined range. A second lighting mode for the human interface device can be identified based in part on the frequency being within the defined range. The first lighting mode and the second lighting mode can define a lighting scheme for light sources in the human interface device that reflect a user mood. The first lighting mode can be switched to the second lighting mode.

Abstract: An ATM is configured to interact with a mobile device and provide user access to one or more of the banking services available at the ATM using the mobile device. Banking-related information may be viewed and/or input at the ATM using the mobile device. The ATM may have multiple vertical levels of deposit slots, withdrawal trays and/or receipt dispensers. A level at the ATM at which the user interacts with the ATM for deposits, withdrawals, or receipts may be selected. The level may be specified by the user of the mobile device, at the ATM or using the mobile device, or may be determined by the ATM.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for removing an embolus in a cerebral vessel of a patient. The assembled system of devices includes a catheter having a catheter lumen and a distal end and a catheter advancement element extending through the catheter lumen. A tapered distal end region of the catheter advancement element extends distal to the distal end of the catheter. The assembled system of devices is advanced together towards an occlusion site in a cerebral vessel of a patient visible on angiogram. The occlusion site includes an angiographic limit of contrast and an embolus downstream of the angiographic limit of contrast. The catheter advancement element is advanced to a location past the angiographic limit of contrast without crossing the embolus. The catheter is advanced to position the distal end of the catheter at a treatment site located past the angiographic limit of contrast and aspiration applied.

Abstract: In various examples, physical sensor data may be generated by a vehicle in a real-world environment. The physical sensor data may be used to train deep neural networks (DNNs). The DNNs may then be tested in a simulated environment—in some examples using hardware configured for installation in a vehicle to execute an autonomous driving software stack—to control a virtual vehicle in the simulated environment or to otherwise test, verify, or validate the outputs of the DNNs. Prior to use by the DNNs, virtual sensor data generated by virtual sensors within the simulated environment may be encoded to a format consistent with the format of the physical sensor data generated by the vehicle.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for determining scores that are usable to filter a larger set of metrics (e.g., thousands of metrics) down to a smaller set of relevant metrics (e.g., hundreds of metrics) that can be more efficiently queried and ingested for root-cause analysis of an incident. During a training stage, the system analyzes known incidents and converts the names of the metrics, as described via customer-defined words, into mathematical representations (e.g., word embedding featurization vectors). When a new metric with a new name is received for a new incident, the system implements an incident inference stage during which the new name is converted into a new mathematical representation. The system compares the new mathematical representation to the mathematical representations to identify a similar mathematical representation. The system retrieves the score for the metric associated with the similar mathematical representation and assigns the retrieved score to the new metric.

Abstract: A robotic cleaning appliance includes a housing to which is coupled a surface treatment item and a sensor assembly with first and second transducers and an acoustic interface. The first sonic transducer transmits sonic signals through an acoustic interface and out of a first acoustic opening toward a surface beneath the robotic cleaning appliance.

A first annular ring is defined around the first acoustic opening port and a second annular rings is defined around the second acoustic opening port. The annular ring attenuate direct path echoes between the acoustic opening ports. The first and second acoustic opening ports are coupled the first and sonic transducers, respectively, via first and second horns; and the horns are tilted from orthogonal with the surface.
