Abstract: A method is provided to better detect a scene change to provide a prediction to an encoder to enable more efficient encoding. The method uses a Motion Compensated Temporal Filter (MCTF) that provides motion estimation and is located prior to an encoder. The MCTF provides a Motion Compensated Residual (MCR) used to detect the scene change transition. When a scene is relatively stable, the MCR score is also relatively stable. However, when a scene transition is in process, the MCR score behavior changes, Algorithmically, the MCR score is used by comparing the sliding mean of the MCR score to the sliding median. This comparison highlights the transition points. In the case of a scene cut, the MCR score exhibits a distinct spike. In the case of a fade or dissolve, the MCR score exhibits a transitional period of degradation followed by recovery. By implementing the above detection using the MCR, the location of the I-pictures in the downstream encoding process can be accurately determined for the encoder.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and processor-readable media for hand-on-wheel gesture controls are described. A steering wheel is virtually segmented into a plurality of radial segments. Each segment is assigned a semantic meaning. Control commands related to control functions are mapped to different virtual segments of the steering wheel.

In various embodiments, on-wheel hand gestures, on-wheel hand location, and voice commands may be used in various combinations to enable a user to perform a wide selection of functions using a small number of unique commands.

Abstract: Responsive to a request to access heterogeneous repositories, a REST server queries a resource registry to find resources that match mapping information contained in the request. The resource registry returns resource registry tables containing the matching resources. The resource registry tables implement a unified data structure of a resource registry model and are generated at runtime by the resource registry mapping REST service configuration parameters to the fields of the unified data structure. The REST service configuration parameters are added to an extension SDK for REST extension developers to enhance REST service configuration for extension applications. The REST service configuration parameters are configured at implementation time and loaded/scanned into the REST server at runtime. The REST server iteratively evaluates the resource registry tables until all the matching resources have been evaluated.

Therefore, the gangue can accurately enter a gangue collection bin; and the clean coal can accurately enter a clean coal collection bin.
