Abstract: Systems and methods of generating a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of a scene or environment surrounding a user of a spatial computing system, such as a virtual reality, augmented reality or mixed reality system, using only multiview images comprising RGB images, and without the need for depth sensors or depth data from sensors. Features are extracted from a sequence of frames of RGB images and back-projected using known camera intrinsics and extrinsics into a 3D voxel volume wherein each pixel of the voxel volume is mapped to a ray in the voxel volume. The back-projected features are fused into the 3D voxel volume. The 3D voxel volume is passed through a 3D convolutional neural network to refine the and regress truncated signed distance function values at each voxel of the 3D voxel volume.

Abstract: Portions of a multidimensional index for a database table may be selectively scanned for processing queries. A query may be received for a database table with a multidimensional index. A range of the multidimensional index may be identified for processing the query. Items mapped to different portions of the query may be scanned to apply the query. Some portions adjacent to a scanned portion may be skipped upon a determination that the adjacent portion does not include items that can satisfy the query. A result based on the scan operations can be provided in response to the query.

Abstract: A fish hook holding device includes a housing having a plurality of openings for insertion of a fishing hook and a plurality of first surfaces each surface disposed in the corresponding opening and a plurality of second surfaces substantially perpendicular to the corresponding first surface. The device includes a spring having a plurality of spring segments adjacent the corresponding first surface, each spring segment urged against the corresponding first surface wherein a point end of a fishing hook may be inserted into the opening and secured between the corresponding spring segment and the housing first surface. Upon insertion of a fish hook into a housing opening, a barb on the fish hook point engages the corresponding second surface, securing the hook in the opening. The hook may be removed by urging the hook toward the housing and rotated to disengage the barb from the second surface.

Abstract: Provided are synthesis processes and intermediates for preparing cannabinoids and analogs.

Abstract: A control system and method control release of a braking device from a wheel or disc. Release of the braking device is slowed or stopped based on a speed at which the braking device is released. The braking device may include a return limiting device through which a rod is configured to move. The return limiting device permits the rod to slide within the return limiting device while the brake pad holder releases from the wheel or disc no faster than a designated speed, but engages and restricts movement of the rod within the return limiting device while the brake pad holder releases from the wheel or disc faster than the designated speed.

Abstract: A fishing accessory for preventing the tangling of a fishing line on a fishing pole comprising a base attachable to the fishing pole and an adjustable guide member. The adjustable guide member is movable from a first position wherein a portion of the guide member contacts a guide surface of the base to a position wherein the portion of the guide member is positioned distant from the guide surface. The fishing accessory includes an adjustment member extending from the guide member engaged with an opening in the base wherein moving the adjustment member in one direction moves the guide member away from the guide surface and moving the adjustment member in the opposite direction moves the guide member closer to the guide surface. The position of the guide member is adjustable toward and away from the guide surface to accommodate a specific diameter fishing line.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an attraction system that includes a walkway, a carrier disposed at a first side of the walkway, and a barrier disposed at a second side of the walkway opposite the first side. The carrier is configured to translate relative to the walkway, and the barrier is removably coupled to the carrier. Translation of the carrier relative to the walkway transitions the barrier between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration.

Abstract: Systems and methods allow flyers to determine which airport lounges they may access. A flyer specifies an airport and access rules for lounges at the airport are applied to user data of the flyer to identify accessible lounges. A listing of the identified lounges is then displayed to the flyer. Systems and methods further allow management of airport lounge inventory. Inventory can be managed to increase occupancy, as well as to evenly distribute flyers within and across airport lounges.

Abstract: A scalable continuous integration (CI) system and/or method may be provided to manage and implement a plurality of code changes submitted in a code base. In particular, the scalable CI system may use a divide-and-conquer approach in which a set or a queue of code changes may be divided into smaller sets/queues of code changes. The division may continue recursively until the rate of defect introduction per change set, the rate of change set delivery per time, and the pipeline latency in the divided sets/queues satisfy a particular threshold. Change sets in the divided sets/queues that fail particular quality constraints may be removed from the divided sets/queues. After the failed change sets have been removed, the divided sets/queues may be recombined back into one set/queue.

Abstract: A scalable continuous integration (CI) system and/or method may be provided to manage and implement a plurality of code changes submitted in a code base. The scalable CI system and/or method may implement an automated failure analysis. In particular, a defect search technique, a machine learning technique, or both, may be implemented to identify failing change sets in a queue of change sets. The machine learning algorithm may first be applied to see if failing change sets may be identified, then the system may fall back to the defect search algorithm when the machine learning technique is not adequate. In the machine learning technique, the system may use an artificial neural network (ANN) to determine failure risks of change sets. The identified failing change sets may be removed from the queue.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a viewer-specific visitor history for a location are provided. In particular, a visitor history for a particular viewer and location can indicate a total number of users who have visited the location and can specifically identify one or more of a set of users using a facepile. The set of specifically identified users can be those users that have an associative link with the viewer and that are also associated with at least one location signal for the given location and for which the particular viewer is a permitted viewer. Thus, location signals having varying scopes of visibility information can be aggregated across a plurality of different web-services to provide a single, unified visitor history for a particular location and viewer, all while respecting user-specified visibility information.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for implementing a multi-function button in a Graphical User Interface (GUI). One method includes an operation for presenting a button in a compact state when a mouse cursor is away from the button.

The options are hidden when the button is presented in the compact state. The button is presented in an expanded state when the mouse cursor is over the button, where unselected options are presented in a first option format and selected options are presented in a second option format. Selection of any option is enabled while the button is in the expanded state.
