    Abstract: Systems and methods for sensor normalization are described. An example of a method includes receiving a first value of a characteristic measured by a first sensor of a first sensor type, and receiving a second value of the characteristic measured by a second sensor of a second sensor type that is more accurate than the first sensor type. A normalization for the first sensor is determined based on the first value and the second value, wherein the normalization alters a response equation of the first sensor. Normalizing another sensor of a same time as the first sensor, based, at least in part, on the normalization.

    Abstract: Technologies for light exposure analysis include a computer configured to collect light data of an environment and a remote computer communicatively coupled to the computer. The remote computer is configured to receive/retrieve health information for one or more users and analyze the health information to generate a health profile for each of the one or more users. Additionally, the remote computer is configured to determine whether any correlations exist between the health profiles and the light data. The remote computer is further configured to analyze the collected light data against one or more health profiles to determine a desired lighting condition for a user based at least in part on the correlations between the health profiles and the light data. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: An apparatus for sensor management in computer-assisted or autonomous driving (CA/AD) vehicles, comprising a sensor analyzer and a sensor manager. The sensor analyzer is to determine a difference between a baseline sensor reading of a landmark, and a subsequent reading of the same landmark at a later point in time. The sensor manager is to determine whether a management action is needed on the basis of the determined difference, in further consideration of differential experiences from other CA/AD vehicles.

    Abstract: Technologies for seamless data streaming include a control server and one or more client computing devices. A client computing device receives user presence data indicative of whether a user is nearby from one or more sensors. The client computing device may receive user interest data indicative of the user's interest level in the current data stream from one or more sensors. The control server identifies available client computing devices based on the user presence data, selects a target client computing device, and causes the data stream to transition from the current client computing device to the target client computing device. The target client computing device may be selected based on proximity of the user or the user's interest level in the data stream. The volume or balance of the data stream may be adjusted to provide a smooth transition between client computing devices. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Technologies are presented that optimize application management on a computing device through contextual application archival and retrieval. A method of managing applications may include: learning contextual relevancy of one or more applications installed on a computing device to a user of the device and determining whether an application is no longer contextually relevant to the user. If the application is no longer contextually relevant, the device may send a request to an application management service to obtain and/or maintain the application; create a placeholder for the application at the device; and remove the application from the device. The device may monitor contextual inputs for relevancy of the archived application. If contextual relevancy is determined, the device may send a request to the service to provide the archived application or a replacement of the archived application to the device; receive the requested application; install the requested application; and remove the placeholder.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, the disclosed subject matter involves a system and method for dynamic object identification and environmental changes for use with autonomous vehicles. For efficient detection of changes for autonomous, or partially autonomous vehicles, embodiments may use a technique based on background removal and image subtraction which use motion detection rather than full object identification for all objects in an image. Road side units proximate to a road segment or virtual road side units in the cloud, other vehicles or mobile device (e.g., drones) are used to retrieve and store background images for a road segment, to be used by the autonomous vehicle. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to an apparatus to dynamically upgrade code in a vehicle. The apparatus may include: a communication module for one or more of wireless or landline communication; a central processing unit (CPU) in communication with the communication module, the CPU configured to receive an indication requiring a code upgrade to an existing vehicle code software and receive the code upgrade; store the code upgrade; execute code upgrade in parallel with the existing vehicle code software; log one or more error indications resulted from execution of the code upgrade; replace the existing vehicle code with the code upgrade if the logged error indication is less than a first threshold; and direct the code upgrade to a second vehicle to update the second vehicle code. The disclosed embodiments may be implemented in autonomous driving (AD) vehicles as well as vehicles having operating code or software/firmware.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to simulating apparel items. A matching computer system may receive a request for an apparel item. The matching computer system may identify a 3D pattern corresponding to the apparel item. The matching computer system may provide this 3D pattern to a user agent computer system. The user agent computer system may cause a 3D printer to print a 3D artifact or modify an existing 3D artifact to simulate the requested apparel item. The modification of 3D artifact may be based on the data collected by the sensor(s) attached to the user which indicate the fitting and/or user feelings of the 3D apparel. The user agent computer system may print or modify the 3D artifact to include components that simulate characteristics of the requested apparel item. The 3D artifact may provide feedback to the user agent computer system based on sensing measurements. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
