System And Method For Holistic Content And Context-Aware Display Arbitration, Google Case Managers Picozzi

Defensive Publications Series

Framework for Holistic Content and Context-Aware Display Arbitration

ABSTRACT

The disclosed technology describes a centralized, context-aware display architecture that dynamically regulates visual output by concurrently analyzing environmental conditions, hardware states, and on-screen content. By replacing isolated, stacked display adjustments with a unified intelligent orchestrator, the system generates a comprehensive predictive parameter vector that dictates granular display settings. This approach leverages machine learning and localized telemetry to resolve visual feature collisions, ultimately preserving visual fidelity, enhancing text legibility, and minimizing hardware power consumption.


Time Synchronization Between Devices Coupled Via Universal Serial Bus (Usb) Interface, David Yu Jul 2026

Time Synchronization Between Devices Coupled Via Universal Serial Bus (Usb) Interface, David Yu

Defensive Publications Series

Time synchronization between a host and a target device coupled via an interface such as USB is vital for correlating host-side power measurements with device-side workload for software events (workload profiling). This disclosure describes high-precision host-target device time synchronization techniques. Per the techniques, a network connection is established between a host device and a target device that has low transmission delays. The host device determines baseline time offsets both at the beginning and at the end of a work profiling period using statistical noise filtering. The host device applies linear interpolation to map device-side timestamps to the host-side timeline based …


Perceptual Hdr Enhancement Within Sdr Color Space Via Dual-Model Content Analysis, Sianyi Huang, Yu Wang, Jongseo Lee Jul 2026

Perceptual Hdr Enhancement Within Sdr Color Space Via Dual-Model Content Analysis, Sianyi Huang, Yu Wang, Jongseo Lee

Defensive Publications Series

Converting standard dynamic range (SDR) to high dynamic range (HDR) content relies on computationally intensive ML models and heavy graphics processing unit (GPU) image processing. These requirements present barriers to implementation on mobile devices. This disclosure describes techniques, referred to as enhanced SDR (eSDR), that achieve the perceptual benefits of HDR, such as highlight sparkle and deep shadow detail, without leaving the SDR container. Global statistical features of an SDR video frame are extracted. A base luminance gain curve for the video frame is determined based on the luminance histogram. An artifact risk metric for the video frame is determined …

Loci Persistent Ai Memory Engine: Versioned Exact-Fact Chains, Source-Trust Provenance Weighting, Hardware-Tier Gradient Search, And Interpersonal Quality-Of-Life Gating, Arko Sanyal, Roza

Defensive Publications Series

This publication discloses five novel architectural mechanisms for persistent AI memory systems: (1) a versioned fact chain architecture for exact-fact stores that preserves full temporal history with provenance timestamps, enabling temporal queries unavailable in flat vector stores; (2) a source-trust provenance field that weights facts by declaration origin and prevents model-inferred data from incorrectly overriding user-stated facts; (3) an asymmetric confidence gate for conflict resolution that uses source trust to apply differential correction thresholds; (4) a hardware-tier gradient search escalation algorithm that expands retrieval scope from fastest-tier (VRAM) to slowest-tier (remote VPS) when data is not found at the current …


The Viscoelastic Redshift Protocol: Resolving The Hubble Tension Via 2d Substrate Fluid Mechanics, Christopher L. Eckes Jul 2026

The Viscoelastic Redshift Protocol: Resolving The Hubble Tension Via 2d Substrate Fluid Mechanics, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This paper presents a rigorous, particle-free alternative to standard Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmology by formalizing the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model. Instead of treating spacetime as a geometric vacuum expanding via dark energy, we model the universe as a continuous, two-dimensional (2D) viscoelastic phase fluid substrate operating at a resonant baseline ($z=0$). Three-dimensional (3D) baryonic matter emerges as localized, high-tension wave crests ("knots") projected vertically along a spatial z-axis, tethered directly to zero-volume antimatter anchors on the substrate's underbelly. By applying continuum mechanics to this membrane architecture, we derive a novel, purely material resolution to the Hubble Tension crisis. We …

Signal And Substance: Why Methodological Sophistication Fails To Guarantee Inference, Aamir Rashid, Rizwana Rasheed Jul 2026

Signal And Substance: Why Methodological Sophistication Fails To Guarantee Inference, Aamir Rashid, Rizwana Rasheed

Publications and Research

Despite increasing analytical sophistication, empirical research in organization studies continues to suffer from fragile inference, uneven theoretical accumulation, and contested credibility. This paper seeks to explain why these problems persist by shifting attention from authors’ methodological choices to the evaluative dynamics of peer review. Adopting a conceptual and theory-analytic approach, the paper theorizes peer review as an inferential gatekeeping system. Drawing on research design, theory evaluation, and philosophy-of-science literatures, this study develops an analytical framework to examine how evaluative routines shape what constitutes empirical rigor during the review process. The analysis identifies five recurring reviewer blind spots: inferential scope inflation, …

Grant V. Chevry

All Decisions

In this holdover proceeding involving a Section 8 subsidized tenant, the court dismissed the petition because landlord served expired Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Notice of Occupancy Rights forms — forms that had expired in 2017 rather than the current HUD-approved forms effective through 2028. Under 24 C.F.R. §5.2005(a), landlords receiving federal funding must provide current VAWA notice with any notification terminating tenancy in covered housing. The VAWA requirements apply regardless of the theory of eviction, including an expired-lease holdover.

West Side Marquis Llc V. Sheppard

All Decisions

The Appellate Division, First Department reversed and granted summary judgment to a rent-stabilized successor tenant. Under the HSTPA, a landlord may not withdraw a previously offered preferential rent in a renewal lease. Tenant was entitled to a renewal lease at the preferential rent paid by the predecessor tenant of record. A 2006 DHCR settlement and rent order did not constitute increases 'authorized by law' under RSL §26-511(c)(14), and the DHCR order had no preclusive effect against tenant, who had not been a party to the prior proceeding and had not had a full and fair opportunity to litigate.

All Decisions

In this holdover proceeding, the court dismissed the petition on traverse. Tenant moved for dismissal on grounds of defective service of process under RPAPL §735, asserting that service was not reasonably calculated to apprise tenant of the pendency of the proceedings, and also moved to disqualify petitioner's counsel under the advocate-as-witness rule. The court granted the traverse motion, finding service defective, and dismissed the petition for lack of personal jurisdiction.

Background: Mosquitoes transmit a diverse range of deadly pathogens, including dengue and Plasmodium spp., when they consume the blood of vertebrate hosts in order to nutritionally provision their eggs. However, mosquito species from multiple genera have independently evolved the ability to produce eggs without blood. The molecular and physiological processes underlying the evolution of blood-independent reproduction are largely unresolved, in part because the two most well-studied models of mosquito reproductive physiology and genetics are obligate blood feeders. Herein, we integrate life-history, genomics, and gene expression to identify physiological processes and candidate genes associated with the evolution of blood-independent reproduction in …

BACKGROUND: Out-of-pocket (OOP) costs pose a significant barrier to participating in cancer clinical trials (CCTs). Financial reimbursement programs (FRPs) that reduce the burden of OOP costs can support participation in CCTs if the information is readily available to participants at the time of enrollment. Prior studies have shown the importance and impact of FRPs, but despite improvements, significant barriers still remain.

OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to explore the feasibility and acceptability of automated texts designed to offer, screen, and enroll CCT participants in an FRP for OOP travel and lodging-related clinical trial costs.

METHODS: This study used a mixed …

Student Papers, Posters & Projects

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a debilitating syndrome typically characterized by orthostatic headache and classic brain MRI findings. However, brain MRI abnormalities are indirect manifestations of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume depletion rather than direct evidence of the leak, and some patients may present with unrevealing or absent typical brain MRI findings, posing a considerable diagnostic challenge.

METHODS: A comprehensive search of PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus was conducted to perform a systematic review, according to PRISMA guidelines, analyzing the available evidence on MRI-negative SIH (patients without typical SIH findings on their initial brain MRI), including its clinical features, …

Student Papers, Posters & Projects

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) reduces mortality in esophageal variceal hemorrhage. Whether the COVID-19 pandemic worsened existing disparities in outcomes among patients undergoing TIPS remains unclear. We aimed to characterize racial, payer-based, and income-based disparities in post-TIPS outcomes before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

METHODS: Using the 2016-2022 National Inpatient Sample, we conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of 31,860 weighted hospitalizations of adults with cirrhosis and esophageal variceal hemorrhage who underwent TIPS. Admissions were stratified as pre-COVID (2016-2019) and post-COVID (2020-2022). Primary outcomes were in-hospital mortality, length of stay, and total hospital charges.

Purpose: Heterozygous pathogenic variants in AXIN2 (HGNC 904) cause oligodontia-colorectal cancer syndrome (ODCRCS). We identified five individuals with de novo, heterozygous variants (NM_004655.4:c.196G>A p.(Glu66Lys), c.197A>G p.(Glu66Gly), and c.199G>A p.(Gly67Arg)) in AXIN2. Common phenotypes among these individuals included ectodermal dysplasia, global developmental delay, microcephaly, and limb, ophthalmologic, and genitourinary abnormalities.

Methods: Structural modeling was performed to predict the impact of these variants on AXIN2. A prime editing N1 screen of mouse embryos was performed to test whether the p.Glu66Lys variant produces a phenotype. Drosophila models were used to test the effect of this variant on Wnt signaling.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) affects approximately 20 per 100,000 individuals annually, with surgical recurrence rates of 10-20%. Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) has emerged as a promising minimally invasive treatment, but the optimal timing remains unclear. We evaluated the association between MMAE timing and radiological and functional outcomes in cSDH.

METHODS: We conducted a retrospective multicenter international cohort study across 33 centres, including patients who underwent MMAE for cSDH between January 2018 and December 2024. Patients were stratified by timing from diagnosis: Q1 (≤1 day), Q2 (2 days), Q3 (3-6 days), and Q4 (>6 days). The …

How Can Accessibility In Computing Education Be Improved Through Hci Research?, Dr David Santandreu Calonge, Linda Smail, Firuz Kamalov, Dima Yousef, Melody Sylvain

All Works

Accessibility - accommodation of diverse sensory, motor, cognitive, and linguistic needs - remains critically underrepresented in computing education despite broad societal acknowledgment of its importance. This position paper argues that systemic inequities and persistent barriers to integrating accessibility and inclusion - ranging from curricular inertia to limited faculty capacity - require new methodological approaches drawn from Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research. HCI provides tested frameworks that pair participatory design with inclusive pedagogy, guided by empirical evaluation to drive systemic change. We identify three key areas where HCI can advance accessibility education: (1) embedding accessibility within core curricula through design-based pedagogies, (2) …


Preoperative Considerations For Cervical Cerclage (Part 1), Ilaria Paladino, Moti Gulersen, Amanda Roman, Rupsa C. Boelig, Vincenzo Berghella Jul 2026

Preoperative Considerations For Cervical Cerclage (Part 1), Ilaria Paladino, Moti Gulersen, Amanda Roman, Rupsa C. Boelig, Vincenzo Berghella

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Faculty Papers

Transvaginal cervical cerclage remains a central strategy for preventing spontaneous preterm birth in appropriately selected pregnancies. Although decades of research have clarified which patients benefit most from cerclage, substantial heterogeneity persists in pre-, intra-, and postoperative management. This article, the first in a series on cerclage technique, synthesizes the evidence guiding preoperative decision-making. Cerclage is classified by indication as history-indicated cerclage, ultrasound-indicated cerclage and physical examination-indicated cerclage. History-indicated cerclage is recommended for patients with ≥3 prior early spontaneous preterm births or second-trimester losses < 28 weeks, prior ultrasound-indicated cerclage with delivery at< 32 weeks, or prior physical examination-indicated cerclage; twin gestation alone is not considered an indication. Ultrasound-indicated cerclage should be considered in singletons without prior spontaneous preterm birth with transvaginal ultrasound cervical length ≤20 mm and is recommended in singletons with prior spontaneous preterm birth when cervical length is ≤25 mm before 24 weeks' gestation; in twins, it may be considered when cervical length ≤15 mm before 24 weeks' gestation. Physical examination-indicated cerclage is recommended in singleton or twin gestations with asymptomatic cervical dilation ≥1 cm before 24 weeks' gestation. Timing varies by indication: history-indicated cerclage is typically placed at 12 to 14 weeks' gestation and is not urgent, whereas ultrasound-indicated cerclage and physical examination-indicated cerclage are usually performed between 16 and 23 6/7 weeks' gestation in response to cervical changes, ideally within 72 hours and 24 hours of diagnosis of short transvaginal ultrasound cervical length or dilated cervix, respectively. Preoperative evaluation should include a detailed anatomic ultrasound examination and appropriate genetic screening. Routine urogenital cultures are not indicated in the absence of symptoms. Amniocentesis is not recommended for history-indicated cerclage or ultrasound-indicated cerclage but should be considered before physical examination-indicated cerclage to evaluate for intra-amniotic infection. Adjunctive management remains variable. Progesterone is recommended for a short cervical lenght < =25mm before 24 weeks. Outpatient cerclage appears safe, with no clear benefit to routine inpatient management. Perioperative indomethacin and antibiotics are likely unnecessary for history-indicated cerclage but may be considered in ultrasound-indicated cerclage and are suggested for physical examination-indicated cerclage.
