Reflective video display apparatus for interactive training and demonstration and methods of same

A smart mirror can show live or recorded streaming video of an instructor performing a workout in a package that is attractive and unobtrusive enough to hang in a living room. The smart mirror includes a mirror surface with a fully reflecting section and a partially reflecting section. A display behind the partially reflecting section shows the video when the smart mirror is on and is almost invisible when the smart mirror is off. The smart mirror also has a speaker, a microphone, and a camera to enable a user to view the video content and interact with the instructor. The smart mirror may connect to the user's smart phone, a peripheral device (e.g., a Bluetooth speaker) to augment user experience, a biometric sensor to provide biometric data to assess user performance, and/or a network router to connect the smart mirror to a content provider, an instructor, and/or other users.

Multi-view deep neural network for LiDAR perception

A deep neural network(s) (DNN) may be used to detect objects from sensor data of a three dimensional (3D) environment. For example, a multi-view perception DNN may include multiple constituent DNNs or stages chained together that sequentially process different views of the 3D environment. An example DNN may include a first stage that performs class segmentation in a first view (e.g., perspective view) and a second stage that performs class segmentation and/or regresses instance geometry in a second view (e.g., top-down). The DNN outputs may be processed to generate 2D and/or 3D bounding boxes and class labels for detected objects in the 3D environment. As such, the techniques described herein may be used to detect and classify animate objects and/or parts of an environment, and these detections and classifications may be provided to an autonomous vehicle drive stack to enable safe planning and control of the autonomous vehicle.

Fluid end

A fluid end comprising a plurality of fluid end sections positioned in a side-by-side relationship. Each fluid end section is releasably attached to a connect plate. Each connect plate is attached to a power source using a plurality of stay rods. Each fluid end section comprises a housing in fluid communication with a pair of intake manifolds and a discharge conduit. A fluid routing plug is installed within each housing and is configured to route fluid throughout the housing. A plunger is installed within stuffing box attached to each housing. A number of features, including the location of seals within bore walls and carbide inserts within valve guides, aid in reducing or transferring wear.

Systems and methods for managing bot-generated interactions

Embodiments discussed herein refer to systems and methods for chatbot interactions. When chatbot derived interactions are detected, the system can prevent those interactions from being further processed. This can be performed by an analysis system operative to engage in a dialog with customers. The system can manage a dialog with a first customer and evaluate the dialog to determine whether any interactions or responses are associated with a chatbot or a human. Interactions or responses determined be associated with a chatbot are dropped and not permitted to be further processed by the analysis system.

Real time spectrum access policy based governance

Embodiments herein provide a method for admitting devices to a special access frequency band of a wireless communication network, including: detecting an access request to communicate via the network, the network including at least one priority device communicating via the special access frequency band of the network, wherein the access request is generated by a non-priority device; evaluating whether a portion of the special access frequency band of the network is available for use by the non-priority device, based on communication settings of the non-priority device; transmitting a governing instruction to the non-priority device in response to the portion of the special access frequency band of the network being available for use by the non-priority device; and denying the access request in response to the portion of the special access frequency band of the network not being available for use by the non-priority device.

Digital processing systems and methods for dual permission access in tables of collaborative work systems

Systems and methods for regulating permission access in tablature are disclosed. A system may include at least one processor configured to maintain a table having a plurality of rows and columns, receive a first customized access permission that regulates access to information in a particular column, and receive a second customized access permission that regulates access to information in a particular row. The processor may regulate an ability to access information in a particular cell of the table when the particular cell is in at least one of the particular column or the particular row, and output a signal to display the table with the particular cell regulated.

Method and system for locating a network device connected to a proxy network device in an emergency situation

A method and system for locating a network device connected to a proxy network device in an emergency situation. When an electrical connection, whether through physical wires or over a wireless interface such as spread spectrum technology is made on a proxy network device (e.g., analog terminal adapter (ATA), analog or digital Private Branch Exchange (PBX) system, Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) devices, gateway, bridge, router, switch, etc.) for a network device, the proxy network device sends a connection identifier such as a port number or wireless channel number, Device IDentifier (DID) number, etc. to an emergency location server network device to associate the connection identifier on the proxy network device with connected network and with a current physical location to be used in an emergency. When an emergency event occurs, the connection identifier is used to determine an emergency current physical location that is used by first responders.
