In the Macro state, the lens with EFLT,min allows for focusing on objects with short object-camera distances such as 5 cm. Actuators for enabling the movements are also disclosed.

System and method for data compression based on data position in frames structure

Method and system for lossless and stateless compression scheme is used with a fixed-length data such as frames. Frames having a payload of M bits length are mapped into a payload of N bits length, where N<M. The N bits payload of each received frame is extracted, and mapped using a memory, PLD, or a processor, to reconstruct the uncompressed M bits payload, and to form the original frame. The reconstruction may use a set of N coefficients that are each multiplied by the corresponding received payload bit, and summarized modulo-2 to obtain the original pre-compressed M payload bits. The method and system may be used with a vehicle bus, such as Controller Area Network (CAN). The compressed frames may use the same or different protocol than the uncompressed ones, and may further carry an additional code such as metadata, error detection or correction code, or authentication related code.

Systems and methods for determining a network path trace

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a network orchestrator, trace parameters from a user device. The method also includes determining, by the network orchestrator, to initiate a network path trace for the application, generating, by the network orchestrator, a filter policy for the network path trace using the trace parameters, and allocating, by the network orchestrator, a trace identification to the network path trace. The method also includes initiating, by the network orchestrator, the network path trace within a network by communicating the filter policy and the trace identification to a first node of the network and receiving, by the network orchestrator, network path trace data from a plurality of nodes of the network. The method further includes generating, by the network orchestrator, a trace report for the application using the network path trace data.

Intelligent automated assistant in a home environment

Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. In one example process, discourse input representing a user request is received. The process determines whether the discourse input relates to a device of an established location. In response to determining that the discourse input relates to a device of an established location, a data structure representing a set of devices of the established location is retrieved. The process determines, using the data structure, a user intent corresponding to the discourse input, the user intent associated with an action to be performed by a device of the set of devices, and a criterion to be satisfied prior to performing the action. The action and the device are stored in association with the criterion, where, in accordance with a determination that the criterion is satisfied, the action is performed by the device.

Method and system to analytically optimize telehealth practice-based billing processes and revenue while enabling regulatory compliance

A method for generating, by an artificial intelligence engine, a treatment plan and a billing sequence associated with the treatment plan is disclosed. The method includes receiving information pertaining to a patient. The information includes a medical diagnosis code of the patient. The method includes generating, based on the information, the treatment plan for the patient. The treatment plan includes instructions for the patient to follow. The method includes receiving a set of billing procedures associated with the instructions. The set of billing procedures includes rules pertaining to billing codes, timing, constraints, or some combination thereof. The method includes generating, based on the set of billing procedures, the billing sequence for at least a portion of the instructions. The billing sequence is tailored according to a certain parameter. The method includes transmitting the treatment plan and the billing sequence to a computing device.
