Patent WO-2019094529-A1 (WO)
Inventor: DANIELS AARON
IPC: G01D5/22
Filed: 2018-11-08
Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) probe including a plunger rod and a metal sheet formed into a cylinder with a C-shaped cross-section, configured to couple to the plunger rod. In an illustrative example, the coupling may be an interference fit aided by spring retention forces of the metal sheet. The metal sheet may be stamped, formed and applied to the plunger rod without annealing. One or more longitudinal metal sheet edges may be rounded. The C-shaped metal sheet may be welded to the plunger rod at a distal and/or proximal end. In some examples, the longitudinal edges of the metal sheet may be welded together and/or to the plunger rod. The ratio of relative electromagnetic permeability of the metal sheet to the plunger rod may be greater than 10. Various implementations may advantageously reduce lot-to-lot variability and reduce the cost of producing LVDTs.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that utilize a novel hardware-based pooling architecture to process the output of a convolution engine representing an output channel of a convolution layer in a convolutional neural network (CNN). The pooling system converts the output into a set of arrays and aligns them according to a pooling operation to generate a pooling result. In certain embodiments, this is accomplished by using an aligner that aligns, e.g., over a number of arithmetic cycles, an array of data in the output into rows and shifts the rows relative to each other. A pooler applies a pooling operation to a combination of a subset of data from each row to generate the pooling result.

Abstract: The evanescent optical coupler is constituted by an IOX waveguide and an optical fiber. The IOX waveguide is formed in a glass substrate and has a tapered section that runs in an axial direction. The IOX waveguide supports a waveguide fundamental mode having an waveguide effective index N   W0    that varies within a range ΔN   W0    as a function of the axial direction. The IOX waveguide can also support a few higher-order modes. The optical fiber supports a fiber fundamental mode having a fiber effective index N   F0    that falls within the waveguide effective index range ΔN   W0    of the waveguide fundamental mode of the tapered section of the IOX waveguide. A portion of the optical fiber is interfaced with the tapered section of the IOX waveguide to define a coupling region over which evanescent optical coupling occurs between the optical fiber and the IOX waveguide.

Inventor: STOJANCIC MIHAILO
IPC: G10L25/57
Filed: 2019-06-04
Abstract: Metadata for highlights of audiovisual content depicting a sporting event or other event are extracted from audiovisual content. The highlights may be segments of the content, such as a broadcast of a sporting event, that are of particular interest. Audio data for the audiovisual content is stored, and portions of the audio data indicating crowd excitement (noise) are automatically identified by analyzing an audio signal in the joint time and frequency domains. Multiple indicators are derived and subsequently processed to detect, validate, and render occurrences of crowd noise. Metadata are automatically generated, including time of occurrence, level of noise (excitement), and duration of cheering. Metadata may be stored, comprising at least a time index indicating a time, within the audiovisual content, at which each of the portions occurs. Periods of intense crowd noise may be used to identify highlights and/or to indicate crowd excitement during viewing of a highlight.

A second logic block of the game engine logic controller determines, based on the second data and the third data, that a second predicate condition is satisfied. A computer security threat is detected based on the first and second predicate conditions being satisfied, and at least one game engine actuator is instructed to perform at least one action responsive to the computer security threat.
