Abstract: An exemplary object identification system detects, based on a machine learning model, an object depicted within a video frame. The system identifies, based on the detecting of the object, a class label of the object and a region of interest, within the video frame, of the object. The system identifies, within the region of interest of the object, set of features of the object. The system compares the set of features of the object with a plurality of predefined features within a data store associated with the class label of the object. The system determines, based on the comparing of the set of features of the object with the plurality of predefined features within the data store, whether the object is configured to trigger an augmentation of video content associated with the video frame. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to providing simultaneous digital and analog services in optical fiber-based distributed radio frequency (RF) antenna systems (DASs), and related components and methods. A multiplex switch unit associated with a head-end unit of a DAS can be configured to receive a plurality of analog and digital downlink signals from one or more sources, such as a service matrix unit, and to assign each downlink signal to be transmitted to one or more remote units of the DAS. In one example, when two or more downlink signals are assigned to be transmitted to the same remote unit, a wave division multiplexer/demultiplexer associated with the multiplex switch unit can be configured to wave division multiplex the component downlink signals into a combined downlink signal for remote side transmission and to demultiplex received combined uplink signals into their component uplink signals for head-end side transmission.

The plurality of rigid spline teeth is greater than the plurality of flex spline teeth and the high load condition exists when the rigid spline teeth of the plurality of rigid spline teeth are fully engaged with flex spline teeth of the plurality of flex spline teeth.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for bid optimization. A bid test component is configured to receive a notification from a content recommendation auction engine that a user has requested that the bid test component test various bidding parameters for a content scheme used to bid on opportunities to show content to users. Accordingly, a set of test content schemes are created. Varying bid levels, budget allocations, and/or other bidding parameters are set for the test content schemes. The test content schemes are submitted to the content recommendation auction engine for bidding on opportunities to show content. Test content scheme statistics, regarding the performance of the test content schemes, are collected. Recommendations are providing and automated content scheme management is facilitated based upon the test content scheme statistics.

Abstract: In example methods and systems described, insulin therapy for a patient can be determined. At least one of a short-acting subcutaneous insulin dosage recommendation, a correction subcutaneous insulin dosage recommendation, an intravenous insulin dosage recommendation, a recommended amount of carbohydrates to be administered to the patient, or combinations thereof, can be determined. In addition, information indicating a confirmation of a nutrition intake for the patient, and a long-acting insulin-on-board for the patient can be received, and based on this information, a required long-acting subcutaneous or intravenous insulin dosage for the patient can be determined. The short-acting subcutaneous or intravenous insulin dosage recommendation can be adjusted based, at least in part, on a difference between the long-acting insulin-on-board and the required long-acting subcutaneous or intravenous insulin dosage.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide a provisioning framework for a distributed graphics processing unit (GPU) service. A network device in a network receives, from an application, a service request for multi-access edge compute (MEC)-based virtual graphic processing unit (vGPU) services. The network device receives real-time utilization data from multiple MEC clusters in different MEC network locations and generates a utilization view of the multiple MEC clusters in the different MEC network locations. The network device selects, based on the real-time utilization view, one of the different MEC network locations to provide the vGPU services and instructs a of the multiple MEC clusters in the one of the different MEC network locations to perform container provisioning and service provisioning for the vGPU services.

Abstract: A virtual object and a virtual vantage point are included within a three-dimensional space. An exemplary virtual scene capture system generates a key description frame representative of a state of the virtual object and a state of the virtual vantage point at a first point in a temporal sequence. The virtual scene capture system also generates an update description frame that represents the state of the virtual object and not the state of the virtual vantage point at a second point in the temporal sequence. The virtual scene capture system provides the key description frame and the update description frame to a three-dimensional rendering engine server. The rendering engine server is configured to render, based on the key and update description frames, surface data frames depicting the virtual object from the virtual vantage point. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

Abstract: An artificial intelligence system monitors and records usage of a set of mobile devices that have been “paired” or grouped together. The system, over time, accumulates a history of times and locations associated with events that occur with respect to the devices. From this history, the system develops a usage model for the devices. The system, if it detects current usage diverges significantly from an expected usage, performs responsive actions which may include: notifying a user, via a paired device, that the mobile device may be lost or misplaced; command the “lost” mobile device to enter a reduced power state, to prolong battery life; and/or command the “lost” device to emit audible and/or visible signals intended to facilitate locating the device. In some embodiments, the system predicts an imminent loss of the device before it becomes lost, based on current usage vs. expected usage embodied in the model.
