Abstract: A display system may include a head-mounted display (HMD) for rendering a three-dimensional virtual object which appears to be located in an ambient environment of a user of the display. One or more eyes of the user may not be in desired positions, relative to the HMD, to receive, or register, image information outputted by the HMD and/or to view an external environment. For example, the HMD-to-eye alignment may vary for different users and/or may change over time (e.g., as the HMD is displaced). The display system may determine a relative position or alignment between the HMD and the user's eyes. Based on the relative positions, the wearable device may determine if it is properly fitted to the user, may provide feedback on the quality of the fit to the user, and/or may take actions to reduce or minimize effects of any misalignment.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to using a large language model (LLM), provided with user context information and user high-level goal information to generate contextualized action recommendations that can help the user achieve the high-level goal(s). In one exemplary embodiment, a user system, and an AI action recommendation system that is associated with an LLM, are communicatively coupled and cooperatively implement a contextualized action recommendation virtual assistant. Input data comprising personal information data of the user that includes at least one high-level goal of the user, and user context data obtained from the user system can be collected and used to generate a prompt that is input to the LLM. The LLM can then generate a contextualized action recommendation for the user based on the prompt, and the contextualized action recommendation can be presented to the user via a virtual assistant user interface on a display of the user system.

Abstract: Similarity-based deformable registration of medical images that contain tumor regions often undesirably leads to disproportionate volume changes to tumor regions. An image-registration framework for preserving tumor volumes while promoting similarity in non-tumor part is provided. The framework involves a two-stage process. In the first stage, similarity-based registration is used to identify potential tumor regions by their volume change, generating a soft tumor mask accordingly. In the second stage, a volume-preserving registration network is used. The network uses a novel adaptive volume-preserving loss that penalizes the change in size adaptively based on the masks calculated from the previous stage. The framework balances image similarity and volume preservation in different regions, i.e. non-tumor and tumor regions, by using soft tumor masks to adjust the imposition of volume-preserving loss on each one. It ensures that the tumor volumes are preserved during the registration process.

Abstract: A wearable device may include a head-mounted display (HMD) for rendering a three-dimensional (3D) virtual object which appears to be located in an ambient environment of a user of the display. The relative positions of the HMD and one or more eyes of the user may not be in desired positions to receive, or register, image information outputted by the HMD. For example, the HMD-to-eye alignment may vary for different users and may change over time (e.g., as a user moves around and/or the HMD slips or is otherwise displaced). The wearable device may determine a relative position or alignment between the HMD and the user's eyes. Based on the relative positions, the wearable device may determine if it is properly fitted to the user, may provide feedback on the quality of the fit to the user, and may take actions to reduce or minimize effects of any misalignment.

Abstract: The technology of this application relates to a packet processing method, a gateway device, and a storage system, and belongs to the field of storage technologies. In this disclosure, a request for accessing a non-volatile memory express (NVMe) node is converted into a request for accessing a remote direct memory access (RDMA) node.

Therefore, storage performance is improved. In addition, this helps a conventional NVMe over fabrics (NOF) storage system expand an RDMA memory pool, and improves flexibility of networking and capacity expansion of the storage system.
