Abstract:
A proxy-based thin-client web browsing framework enables cooperative web browsing of multiple devices. The multiple devices may include devices that are not intended for web browsing and have limited or no web browsers and/or user input capabilities. The proxy-based thin client web browsing framework employs a virtual browser at a proxy server to perform all browser-engine logics, and retrieve, render and encode web pages on behalf of the multiple devices. The multiple devices therefore only need to have limited decoding and display capabilities to perform web browsing. The proxy-based thin client web browsing framework further includes a touch controller as a remote controller for a device that has no or limited user texting or manipulating capabilities.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to biodegradable and bioresorbable materials having a mineral layer on the surface of the material. More particularly, the disclosure relates to biodegradable and bioresorbable orthopedic devices having a degradable mineral layer on the surface thereof that can be used as a delivery vehicle for biological substances. Also provided are various methods of using the mineralized devices in tissue regeneration, including bone tissue engineering, and methods for producing the mineralized devices.
Abstract:
Techniques for setting depth values for invalid measurement regions of depth images are described herein. A computing device may set the depth values based on evaluations of depth values of neighboring pixels and of corresponding pixels from time-adjacent depth images. Alternately or additionally, the computing device may utilize a texture image corresponding to the depth image to identify objects and may set depth values for pixels based on depth values of other pixels belonging to the same object. After setting the depth values, the computing device may normalize the depth values of the pixels. Further, the computing device may generate reduced representations of the depth images based on a depth reference model or a depth error model and may provide the reduced representations to an encoder.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method is provided for indoor/outdoor transition detection of devices to improve selection of the navigation algorithms. To determine whether an outdoor-to-indoor transition has occurred, a mobile device can determine whether a difference between an indoor position determined using indoor position information and outdoor position determined using outdoor position information is less than a threshold and can conclude that the mobile device transitioned from outdoor to indoor of the structure, if the difference is less than the threshold. Also, to determine whether an indoor-to-outdoor transition has occurred, the mobile device can determine whether an indoor position survey area exists, determine whether an outdoor position determined based on outdoor position information is outside of the survey area, and determine whether a signal strength associated with the outdoor position location information is greater than a threshold.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel compounds having anti-cancer activity, methods of making these compounds, and their use for treating cancer and drug-resistant tumors, e.g. melanoma, metastatic melanoma, drug resistant melanoma, prostate cancer and drug resistant prostate cancer.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The disclosure discloses a method and system for transmitting a large message mode CPM message, both of which enable the respective establishment of Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) links between a CPM client of a sender and an originating participation function entity, between the originating participation function entity and a terminating participation function entity, and between the terminating participation function entity and an inter-working function entity, wherein the establisher of each segment of MSRP link obtains the MSRP connection parameters of the opposite end through media negotiations and establishes the MSRP link according to the MSRP connection parameters; the CPM client of the sender sends the large message mode CPM message to the inter-working function entity through each segment of established MSRP link in sequence, the inter-working function entity performs a protocol conversion on the received the large message mode CPM message and then transmits the converted message to a non-CPM system. The method and system of the disclosure enable the transmission of a large message mode CPM message to an unavailable CPM system user, thus improving user experience.
Abstract:
An “Interactive Virtual Display,” as described herein, provides various systems and techniques that facilitate ubiquitous user interaction with both local and remote heterogeneous computing devices. More specifically, the Interactive Virtual Display uses various combinations of small-size programmable hardware and portable or wearable sensors to enable any display surface (e.g., computer display devices, televisions, projected images/video from projection devices, etc.) to act as a thin client for users to interact with a plurality heterogeneous computing devices regardless of where those devices are located relative to the user. The Interactive Virtual Display provides a flexible system architecture that enables communication and collaboration between a plurality of both local and remote heterogeneous computing devices. This communication and collaboration enables a variety of techniques, such as adaptive screen compression, user interface virtualization, real-time gesture detection to improve system performance and overall user experience, etc.
