A rechargeable power source in an autonomous vehicle (AV) adapted to traverse within a pipe network is charged, the charging using mechanical power derived from a flow of material within the pipe network. A sensor in the AV is powered from the charged rechargeable power source. Using power from the rechargeable power source, the AV is caused to traverse within the pipe network.

A method for temperature control includes acquiring image data, and analyzing the image data to identify one or more individuals within the image data. A level of thermal comfort is estimated for each of the identified individuals based on the image data. The determined level of thermal comfort indicates whether each individual appears to be feeling too hot, appears to be feeling too cold or appears to be feeling satisfied with an ambient temperature. An air-conditioning unit or a heating unit is controlled based on the estimation of the level of thermal comfort for each of the identified individuals.

Aspects relate to computer implemented methods, systems, and processes to automatically generate audio-based display indicia of media content including receiving, by a processor, a plurality of media content categories including at least one feature, receiving a plurality of categorized speech recognition algorithms, each speech recognition algorithm being associated with a respective one or more of the plurality of media content categories, determining a media content category of a current media content based on at least one feature of the current media content, selecting one speech recognition algorithm from the plurality of categorized speech recognition algorithms based on the determination of the media content category of the current media content, and applying the selected speech recognition algorithm to the current media content.

Contextual adaptation of documents automatically replaces words for synonyms that appear within context or topic whey they are being used. A machine learned topic modeling, trained by a set of documents representative of a target user is executed to determine topics of an input document, and to determine words in the document to replace based on determining the relevance of the words to the topics in the documents. An output document is generated based on the input document with the replaced words.
