Abstract: A method and system for serving assets is disclosed, comprising receiving an asset request to serve an asset, wherein the asset request originates at an application, and wherein the asset request comprises an advertisement of an asset to be served and a request for the network address of an asset server configured to serve the requested asset. The method further comprises causing a service discovery server to identify an asset server configured to serve the requested asset, and causing the requested asset to be served to the application.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an apparatus configured to couple to a bicycle and act as a handlebar grip. The apparatus is equipped with a GPS unit, a controller, and a wireless communications module for communicating with a user device such as a smartphone. The positioning data of the apparatus, and thus of a bicycle to which it is affixed, is tracked and recorded, and can be used to calculate various useful metrics. The GPS functionality also allows for increased security and theft prevention features.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a system and method for extracting factual information. The system transforms a query into a natural language prompt in a format of a query subject and a queried relation. The system encodes, via an embedding layer of a pre-trained language model, the natural language prompt into a first embedding. The system encodes, via the adapter model, the first embedding into a second embedding based on a probability that the second embedding returns the factual information when the second embedding is fed the first attention layer of the pre-trained language model. The system decodes, by the first attention layer of the pre-trained language mode, the second embedding into a response to the query. The system extracts the factual information from the decoded response to the query.

Abstract: Computer-readable media, systems, and methods for model-based data center management. In embodiments, a request to perform a management operation on a device in a data center is received and available paths to the device are determined. The paths are determined based on an artifact storing a topology of the data center. Further, a current favored path that is one of the available paths is determined based on a policy and the device is bound for performance of the management operation using the current favored path. In embodiments, the model-based data center management is configured to provide a generic description of the data center architecture and a generic description for one or more devices in the data center. The generic description provides for dynamic runtime data center configuration.

Abstract: Resilient wire contacts may be utilized to make electrical contact from printer housings to replaceable printer cartridges such as toner cartridges. As a result, power may be supplied from the printer housing to the printer cartridge in a way that the printer cartridge may be removed and replaced and the electrical contact reestablished. In this embodiment, the wire contacts directly touch conductive bearings which support printing rollers. In this embodiment, the entire wire contact may be established by a single piece of wire shaped appropriately.

Abstract: The present invention relates to seals which may be used in an image forming apparatus. The seals may prevent the leakage of image forming materials, e.g. as between a blade or a roll and an image forming apparatus housing.

Abstract: This provides a system to emit a plurality of electronic signals, sent by a person(s) trapped by some disaster, such as collapse of building, earthquake, flood, etc. The plurality of signals provides a better chance that rescuers will receive at least one signal.

Abstract: A sealing member for an image forming device as well as an apparatus and method of locating components within a printing device. The image forming device may include laser printers, ink-jet printers, copiers, faxes, all-in-one devices or multifunctional devices.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing knowledge documents are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system may include a community of practice, including members and a knowledge management architecture managing knowledge documents used by the community of practice and maintaining a user profile for each member having criteria reflecting a preferred format for received knowledge documents. The knowledge management architecture may be configured to receive a search request for knowledge documents from a first member. The first member may be associated with a first user profile with first user profile criteria. The knowledge management architecture may also be configured to generate a search result based on the search request. The search result may include one or more of the knowledge documents.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing knowledge documents in a community of practice environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, a community of practice environment may include a set of communities of practice, each including respective members and each being assigned respective knowledge documents. The community of practice environment may also include a database system storing the knowledge documents used by the communities of practice. The database system may be configured to deliver copies of the knowledge documents to the communities of practices in response to requests to access the knowledge documents from respective community of practice members.

Abstract: Methods and systems for collaborating communities of practice are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed for collaborating communities of practice in a community of practice environment. Each community of practice includes a goal. The method may include searching information associated with each of the communities of practice for related information and identifying a set of communities of practice having related information. Further, the method may include determining whether any of the communities of practice in the set are related and establishing a collaborative communication session between the related communities of practice such that the related communities of practice share resources in achieving their respective goals.

Abstract: Methods and systems for delivering knowledge in a community of practice environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system may include a community of practice including members and a knowledge management architecture that manages knowledge used by the community of practice. The knowledge management architecture may also maintain a delivery profile for each member having parameters reflecting a preferred format for receiving updates regarding new knowledge. Further, the knowledge management architecture may be configured to detect new knowledge associated with the community of practice and determine, for a first member, that the new knowledge includes information related to a first profile parameter associated with the first member. Also, the knowledge management architecture may generate a notification for the first member including data associated with a portion of the new knowledge and deliver the notification to the first member.
