Abstract:
A multi-tier machine learning engine receives signal data characterizing a monitored signal of the computing platform. The machine learning engine can include a plurality of tiers that employ frequency domain analysis on the signal data to identify an application executing on the computing platform and a module and/or loop of the identified application and employ time domain analysis on the signal data to identify timing of events within the identified module and/or loop of the identified application.
Abstract:
A control system for a steerable thrusting device is disclosed comprising a mobile device and application which interface with an electronic controller to command the output power and directional heading of the steerable thrusting device. In at least one embodiment, the mobile device serves the functions of a mapping and input device that communicates bi-directionally with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and direction device-equipped electronic controller, which in turn controls the power and heading of the thrusting device on a marine vessel. Data can be stored on the mobile device or procured in real-time via network access to a dedicated database and communicated to the electronic controller in order to execute specific functions of the thrusting device control system. The data created can be shared over a cloud network. A feature control system is introduced for alternately enabling and disabling features of the steerable thrusting device control system.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for cooperative fault tolerance and load balancing. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a request from an entity wherein the request includes metadata specifying a plurality of non-responsive servers to which the entity sent the request but that could not process the request; determining that the data processing apparatus is not a current home server for the entity based on information cached in the data processing apparatus, wherein the current home server is a server within a plurality of preferred servers that processes requests for the entity and, in response thereto: assigning the data processing apparatus as the current home server so that the entity will send subsequent requests to the data processing apparatus for processing; and sending a response to the entity.
Abstract:
In a pre-operating system environment on a device prior to loading and running an operating system on the device, a policy identifying configuration settings for the operating system is obtained. The operating system itself is prevented from changing this policy, but the policy can be changed under certain circumstances by components of the pre-operating system environment. The policy is compared to configuration values used by the operating system, and the operating system is allowed to boot with the configuration values if the configuration values satisfy the policy. However, if the configuration values do not satisfy the policy, then a responsive action is taken.
Abstract:
A pumping system comprises an internal combustion engine, a generator, a pumping unit and a heat recovery system. The generator is driven by the internal combustion engine. The pumping unit is powered by the generator. The heat recovery system thermally couples the internal combustion engine with the pumping unit.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a means for optimization and re-use of hardware in the implementation of Viterbi and Turbo Decoders using carry save arithmetic. Successful provision for each target application requires that two main issues be confronted. These are: merging the computation of summation terms (a2−b2+c2) with (x2+y2+z2); and (a3+b3−c3) with (x3+y3+z3); implementing an efficient method of computing (a4−b4−c4); and merging this computation with (x4+y4+z4). The invention solves both of these issues and successfully merges the Viterbi instructions with a complete reuse of the hardware that is required for the implementation of Turbo instructions. The hardware required by both classes of instructions is optimized by efficiently employing carry save arithmetic.
Abstract:
A directly-coated PVB film or sheet. The film or sheet includes a PVB layer that includes no plasticizer or less than about 5 weight percent plasticizer and a conductive or reflective coating. The conductive or reflective coating directly coats the PVB layer. The PVB film or sheet is includable in a laminate.
Abstract:
A mass produced absorbent article having an image of a quality that is commercially acceptable. The image is produced by ink jet printheads applying ink to a web moving at high speed under the jets in the course of manufacturing the article. The image is printed at low resolution but is characterized in part by a higher coverage area ratio and brightness.
Abstract:
A method, system or computer usable program product for a data processing system to anticipate parking space availability including receiving from the first user a request for a parking space for a first vehicle, obtaining location tracking data of a set of users, each of the set of users associated with one of a set of vehicles, each vehicle located at one of a set of parking spaces, predicting a set of departure times based on the location tracking data for a subset of the set of users away from and associated with vehicles located in parking spaces, determining a subset of departure times that are within an acceptable period of time, and sending to the first user a subset of parking spaces with vehicles associated with users having the subset of departure times.
