Abstract: Oral hygiene monitoring system is disclosed to track motion and orientation of an oral hygiene device. The control system may process data output from a motion sensor to determine position and orientation of an oral hygiene device with respect to a user's mouth. In some examples, the system may use machine learning techniques to identify position and orientation, brush stroke type, and other specific actions.

Abstract: A method for promoting compliance with an oral hygiene regimen includes displaying, on a display device, a representation of at least a portion of a set of teeth of a user. The method also includes overlaying an indicium on the representation such that the indicium is associated with a first section of the representation. Responsive to a determination, via at least one of one or more processors, that a head of an oral hygiene device is positioned directly adjacent to a first section of the set of teeth that corresponds to the first section of the representation for at least a predetermined amount of time, the indicium is removed from the display device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can train a sequence model to output respective captions, or portions of captions, for content items. A determination can be made that a user of the social networking system is posting a content item for publication through a social networking system. A set of captions, or portions of captions, can be determined for the content item being posted based at least in part on the sequence model. The set of captions, or portions of captions, can be provided as suggestions to the user for use in a caption describing the content item being posted.

Abstract: A broadband communication system provides broadband communication services onboard an aircraft. The broadband communication system includes a satellite communication transceiver, a direct air-to-ground communication (DA2GC) transceiver, and a controller. The satellite communication transceiver is configured to communicate directly with a target satellite providing a satellite communication data pathway with a satellite ground station connected to ground networks. The DA2GC transceiver is configured to communicate directly with a DA2GC ground station providing an DA2GC data pathway with the ground networks. The controller is configured to control handoff between the satellite communication transceiver and the DA2GC transceiver for data communications between the broadband communications system and the ground networks, based on performance of at least one of the satellite communication data pathway and the DA2GC data pathway.

Abstract: Tooth brushing monitoring system is disclosed that includes an oral hygiene device with a separate an optical sensor to track positional changes of the oral hygiene device. The optical sensor may alone or in combination with motion sensor data determine position and orientation of an oral hygiene device with respect to a user's mouth. The system may then determine the quality, quantity and location of brushing and provide feedback on the quality of brushing. This feedback provides motivation for users to increase their brushing habits, leading to a decrease in plaque, tooth decay and gingivitis.

Abstract: An actuating system for pivoting a wing tip section (13) about a fixed wing base section (11), and including a heating arrangement (33) positioned and adapted to be operable to heat at least one portion of an actuating arrangement (23) that pivots the wing tip section such that at least for ambient temperatures below a predetermined temperature the required work to be effected by the actuator (25) when moving the second coupling part (31) between the first position and the second position is lower than without heating the at least one portion.

Abstract: A motion tracking element for an oral hygiene element such as a toothbrush. The motion tracking element may be detachably coupled to the oral hygiene element. The motion tracking element may include a body having an outer surface, a portion of the outer surface having a pattern that includes a plurality of indicators with a non-circular shape. The indicators may be flush with and form part of the outer surface. A plurality of visual markers may be located on the outer surface, each of the visual markers having a circular shape. The plurality of visual markers may be formed integrally with the body. A method for estimating a pose of an oral hygiene device may be achieved using the motion tracking element.

Abstract: A method for nondestructive inspection of a flexible underwater pipe capable detecting a flooding of the annular space in which the armor layers are found. The method comprises the steps of arranging in the vicinity of the external sheath at least one pair of electrodes, measuring the impedance at the terminals of the pair of electrodes, at a frequency advantageously between 10 Hz and 10 MHz, and comparing the measured impedance with reference values so as to determine the nature of the fluid contained in the annular space.
