SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COMPUTER-ASSISTED SHUTTLES, BUSES, ROBO-TAXIS, RIDE-SHARING AND ON-DEMAND VEHICLES WITH SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

A new system allows shuttles, buses, and taxis to operate on both private and public roads while being aware of their surroundings. These vehicles can change their routes based on passenger requests or follow set paths. Passengers can easily request rides using mobile devices, computers, or kiosks. Each vehicle is equipped with advanced AI technology that helps it navigate safely and efficiently. An AI Dispatcher also optimizes the overall system performance to ensure smooth operations.

ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING AUGMENTED REALITY FUNCTION AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF

An electronic device helps users interact with augmented reality (AR) images using their hands. It first collects data about the user's hand from a sensor. Then, it uses artificial intelligence to find out where the hand is and how its joints are shaped. If the hand is interacting with an object in the AR image, the device switches to a different AI model for more detailed analysis. Finally, it gathers more data about the hand to improve the interaction experience in AR.

OPEN ACOUSTIC DEVICE

An open acoustic device is designed to be worn near a user's ear without blocking the ear canal. It has a microphone array that picks up surrounding sounds. A signal processor analyzes these sounds to understand how they travel to the user's ear. Based on this analysis, it estimates the noise level at the ear and creates a counter-sound to reduce that noise. Finally, a speaker emits this counter-sound to help eliminate unwanted noise for the user.

COMMON SENSE REASONING FOR DEEPFAKE DETECTION

A method has been developed to help identify deepfake images by analyzing both the image and a user's question about it. First, the system takes the image and the user's text inquiry and processes them using a special model. This model breaks down the image and text into smaller parts, called embeddings, to understand their content better. Then, it combines this information to produce an analysis that tells whether the image is fake or not. The final output also highlights specific visual features of the image that influenced the classification result.

PROMPT-BASED IMAGE RELIGHTING AND EDITING

A new method allows users to change the lighting and background of a digital image easily. First, a device takes an original image along with specific instructions for the desired lighting and background. It then adjusts the image to match the new lighting conditions while also creating a suitable background. The process includes adding realistic shadows to make everything look natural. This technique ensures that important details of the original image are kept intact while making the edits.

AI-BASED VISUAL STYLE TRANSFER

A system takes two types of content: one that shows a style and another that has a topic. It combines these two pieces of information to create a new description that mixes the topic with the style. Then, this description is used to generate a new visual image that keeps the original style but includes elements related to the topic. The final image is then displayed on a user interface for people to see. This process allows users to create unique visuals that blend different styles and topics easily.

CINEMATIC SPACE-TIME VIEW SYNTHESIS FOR ENHANCED VIEWING EXPERIENCES IN COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS

A new technology helps create better viewing experiences on computers by combining images from different angles and times. Multiple cameras take pictures of an object or scene from various positions. These images are then processed by a computer using a neural network. The network blends the images to produce one clear picture that shows a view between the different angles. This makes it easier for users to see and understand the scene more effectively.

ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY, OPERATING METHOD THEREOF, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

An electronic device has a flexible screen that can change its shape. When the screen is fully opened, it can show one application window. If needed, a second window can pop up on top of the first one. When the screen is partially folded, both windows can still be displayed separately in different areas. This design allows for multitasking while using the device in various positions.

Microbial Conversion of CO2 and Other C1 Substrates to Vegan Nutrients, Fertilizers, Biostimulants, and Systems for Accelerated Soil Carbon Sequestration

Microorganisms can change gases like waste CO2 and renewable hydrogen into high-protein food. This food can be eaten by people or used to help plants and other living things grow. The hydrogen needed for this process can be made using solar or wind energy. The gas used can come from various sources, such as waste materials or industrial processes. Overall, this method helps create nutrients while also capturing carbon in the soil.

Microbial Conversion of CO2 and Other C1 Substrates to Vegan Nutrients, Fertilizers, Biostimulants, and Systems for Accelerated Soil Carbon Sequestration

Microorganisms can turn gases like waste CO2 and renewable hydrogen into high-protein biomass. This biomass can be used as food for humans or as nutrients for plants and other organisms. The hydrogen needed for this process can be made using solar or wind energy. Additionally, the gas used can come from various sources, including waste materials and industrial processes. Overall, this method helps create vegan nutrients and supports soil health by adding carbon and minerals.
