Abstract: An audio system generates customized head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) for a user. The audio system receives an initial set of estimated HRTFs. The initial set of HRTFs may have been estimated using a trained machine learning and computer vision system and pictures of the user's ears. The audio system generates a set of test locations using the initial set of HRTFs. The audio system presents test sounds at each of the initial set of test locations using the initial set of HRTFs. The audio system monitors user responses to the test sounds. The audio system uses the monitored responses to generate a new set of estimated HRTFs and a new set of test locations. The process repeats until a threshold accuracy is achieved or until a set period of time expires. The audio system presents audio content to the user using the customized HRTFs.

Abstract: A system for generating individualized HRTFs that are customized to a user of a headset. The system includes a server and an audio system. The server determines the individualized HRTFs based in part on acoustic features data (e.g., image data, anthropometric features, etc.) of the user and a template HRTF. The server provides the individualized HRTFs to the audio system. The audio system presents spatialized audio content to the user using the individualized HRTFs.

Abstract: A system creates an audio profile. The audio profile may be stored in a database. For example, the audio profile may be securely stored in a database of a social network and associated with a user account. The audio profile may contain data describing the way in which the specific user hears and interprets sounds. Systems and applications which present sounds to the user may access the audio profile and modify the sounds presented to the user based on the data in the audio profile to enhance the audio experience for the user.

Abstract: A method of fracturing a subterranean formation to produce fluid from a reservoir through a wellbore includes flowing a treating fluid into the wellbore to create fractures in the formation, selectively flowing a flow constraint material (FCM) into the wellbore simultaneously with the treating fluid, pausing the flow of the FCM while maintaining the flow of the treating fluid, monitoring a parameter of the formation to determine whether the parameter is within a range, resuming the flow of the FCM when the parameter of the formation is out of the range, ceasing the flow of the FCM when the parameter of the formation is in the range, where a system strain increase is about 0.0003 or less when the parameter of the formation is in range, and where the flow of the flow constraint material partially constrains the treating fluid from entering at least one of the fractures.

Abstract: A combination immediate/delayed release delivery system for compounds which have short half-life's, such as the antidiabetic remogliflozin etabonate, is provided which provides a dosage form that has two distinct phases of release, a formulation that promotes immediate release of the compound upon ingestion and another formulation which delays the release of the compound so that a dosing regimen of remogliflozin etabonate, once daily, may be achieved while providing effective control of plasma glucose and minimizing the nighttime exposure of this compound. The delivery system includes, but is not limited to, a combination of enteric coating of an immediate release formulation such that a delay in release is provided. Methods for forming the so-described immediate/delayed release delivery system and using such delivery system for treating diabetes are also provided.

Abstract: A razor cartridge having a first blade proximal to a front of the cartridge and having one or more first coatings disposed thereon, a second blade proximal to a back of the cartridge, the second blade having one or more second coatings disposed thereon, wherein a thickness of at least one of the one or more first coatings disposed on the first blade is less than a thickness of at least one of the one or more second coatings disposed on the second blade.

Abstract: A system generates an output audio signal for an object or virtual object using image data of a room to select a room impulse response from a database. A headset may include a depth camera assembly (DCA) and processing circuitry. The DCA generates depth image data of a room. The processing circuitry determines room parameters such as the dimensions of the room based on the depth image data. A room impulse response for the room is determined based on referencing a database of room impulse responses using the room parameters. An output audio signal is generated by convolving a source audio signal of an object with the room impulse response.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to systems and methods for controlling a hydraulic fracturing job. A fracturing completion model can be applied to identify a plurality of possible fracturing completion plans for completing one or more wellbores at a target completion. The plurality of possible fracturing completion plans can include varying values of fracturing completion parameters and/or reservoir parameters. Completion characteristic data of the one or more wellbores can be gathered in response to application of at least a portion of a fracturing completion plan of the possible fracturing completion plans. Further, the completion characteristic data can be used to determine whether to apply a different fracturing completion plan of the possible fracturing completion plans. In turn, if it is determined to apply the different fracturing completion plan, then the method can include facilitating switching to the different fracturing completion plan in completing the one or more wellbores.

Abstract: A shared communication channel allows for the transmitting and receiving audio content between multiple users. Each user is associated with a headset configured to transmit and receive audio data to and from headsets of other users. After the headset of a first user receives audio data corresponding to a second user, the headset spatializes the audio data based upon the relative positions of the first and second users such that when the audio data is presented to the first user, the sounds of the audio data appear to originate at a location corresponding to the second user. The headset reinforces the audio data based upon a deviation between the location of the second user and a gaze direction of the first user, allowing for the first user to more clearly hear audio data from other users that they are paying attention to.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present applications sets forth a wearable device that includes an interface layer configured to extend into an ear canal and a first audio emitter configuration coupled to the interface layer. The first audio emitter configuration is configured to produce a first plurality of soundwaves that are each directed towards a first point proximate to the first audio emitter configuration. The first plurality of soundwaves generates a first target soundwave that radiates in a first direction.

Abstract: A method and system for full restore point creation using incremental backups. Specifically, the method and system disclosed herein entail performing a modified synthetic full backup operation during processes directed to the protection of database data. The modified synthetic full backup operation, in contrast to traditional synthetic full backup operations, provides a mechanism through which a history of successively stored or synthesized full backups that may be maintained as full restore (or rollback) points for a given database.

Abstract: A method and system for live-mounting database backups. Specifically, disclosed method and system entail recovering database data—in entirety or at any granular level—without needing to provision storage resources for point-in-time database copies (i.e., backup database data), or without needing to wait for large amounts of data, representative of the point-in-time database copies, to traverse a network from backup storage to a target device. Substantively, through live-mounting, the physical point-in-time database data, as well as the associated structural metadata, may be retained on backup storage while a pointer-based snapshot, mapping to the physical point-in-time database data and structural metadata, may be generated thereon. Thereafter, a file system—mapping to the pointer-based snapshot on the backup storage—may be mounted on the target device, which exposes an interface through which the backup database data may be accessed and/or manipulated using a distributed file system protocol.
