Abstract: In various examples there is an apparatus for detecting position and orientation of an object. The apparatus comprises a memory storing at least one frame of captured sensor data depicting the object. The apparatus also comprises a trained machine learning system configured to receive the frame of the sensor data and to compute a plurality of two dimensional positions in the frame. Each predicted two dimensional position is a position of sensor data in the frame depicting a keypoint, where a keypoint is a pre-specified 3D position relative to the object. At least one of the keypoints is a floating keypoint depicting a pre-specified position relative to the object, lying inside or outside the object's surface. The apparatus comprises a pose detector which computes the three dimensional position and orientation of the object using the predicted two dimensional positions and outputs the computed three dimensional position and orientation.

Abstract: A method to identify one or more depth-image segments that correspond to a predetermined object type is enacted in a depth-imaging controller operatively coupled to an optical time-of-flight (ToF) camera; it comprises: receiving depth-image data from the optical ToF camera, the depth-image data exhibiting an aliasing uncertainty, such that a coordinate (X, Y) of the depth-image data maps to a periodic series of depth values {Zk}; and labeling, as corresponding to the object type, one or more coordinates of the depth-image data exhibiting the aliasing uncertainty.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and electronic devices for performing playback of streamed media, including complementing a media content item with an associated media content item. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, during playback of a first media content item, a message is sent to a computer server system, to return information that a related second media content item is selectable. The information that the second media content item is selectable is displayed at a user interface as a visual array of tiles, wherein each one of the tiles corresponds to a respective second media content item. Playback of the second media content item can be combined with the first media content item. By displaying information about selectable associated media content items to a user, the user will be enabled to individually select associated media content items to complement a currently playbacked media content item.

Abstract: A valve apparatus for controlling the flow and pressure of fluids from a source of pressurized fluid with: a valve body, a valve chamber, a seat assembly in the valve chamber; a control member in the valve chamber axially movable with respect to the seat assembly, a lower stem connected to an output of an actuator of the valve, a valve bonnet attached to the valve body; the valve bonnet having a valve bonnet through bore with the lower stem slidingly reciprocating, moving the control member between the closed and open position, an annular sealing assembly, an outer seat carrier engaged within the valve body; the outer seat carrier comprising two elongated longitudinally disposed radial slots each oriented at right angles to the inlet port to impact a diversion wall of the outer seat carrier, splitting the inlet fluid into two flows simultaneously, reducing erosion on the radial slots.

Abstract: There is described apparatus for orienting at least one electromagnetic field sensor, a related receiver unit and method of use. The apparatus has an orientation detector having an output which is dependent upon an orientation of the electromagnetic field sensor, an actuator and a controller which is arranged in communication with the orientation detector and the actuator, the controller being configured to be operable to generate at least one instruction for operating the actuator for moving the electromagnetic field sensor into a predefined orientation, in dependence upon the output from the orientation detector.

Abstract: Media-presentation-conscious scheduling protocols are disclosed that may associate a geographical location containing a thing with an identifier of the thing and allow later-found media works that pertain to the identifier to be presented at a mobile device before the device reaches a waypoint of the location. Alternatively or additionally, such protocols may respond to a predicted connectivity impairment of a traveling device by obtaining supplemental content to mitigate a predicted capacity shortage. Alternatively or additionally, such protocols may interrupt live stream content, insert on-demand content, and later return to live stream presentation automatically.

Abstract: An improved device for enabling a non-sterile container of liquid, such as, for example, a bottle to be introduced into a sterile environment. In one embodiment, the device seals the non-sterile container within a drape so that the non-sterile container can be introduced into the sterile environment. The device may include a drape having an interior cavity for receiving the non-sterile container and a cap coupled to the enclosure for coupling to the non-sterile container so that the liquid product may flow through the sterile cap.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for generating a set of recommended media works based on an identified seed media work. The seed media work is used to identify a set of co-occurring media works, which are defined as media works that have been intentionally interacted with within a predetermined time window as the seed media work by a single user. After the co-occurrence set is created, it is ranked and filtered. Media works identified in the co-occurrence set may then be selected based on their ranking.

Abstract: A method and data storage system receives a confidence vector for a non-binary symbol value read from a memory cell of a non-volatile memory device, where the confidence vector includes a first plurality of confidence values and transforms the first plurality of confidence values into a first plurality of likelihood values using a forward tensor-product transform. A respective binary message passing decoding operation is performed with each of the first plurality of likelihood values to generate a second plurality of likelihood values, and the second plurality of likelihood values are transformed into a second plurality of confidence values of the confidence vector using a reverse tensor-product transform.
