Abstract: A radar system, apparatus, architecture, and method are provided with a transmitter that produces a plurality of distinct FanTOM signals that are transmitted as N RF-encoded transmit signals in an overlapped fashion such that the pulse repetition interval and frame length are kept short; a receiver that processes target return signals reflected from the N RF-encoded transmit signals with a mixer to produce an IF signal which is filtered with one or more notch filters clocked with a sampling clock frequency to control harmonic notch frequencies to suppress transmitter spill-over and close-in self-clutter interference, thereby producing a filtered IF signal that is converted to a digital signal with an analog-to-digital converter that is clocked with the sampling clock frequency; and a radar processor that processes the digital signal to generate a range spectrum comprising N segments that correspond, respectively, to the N RF-encoded transmit signals.

Abstract: A computing device displays a user interface for a data preparation application, including a flow pane that visually represents a data preparation flow and a plurality of icons in a flow element palette. Using a feature/version matrix, the device determines that (i) a first subset of parameterized operations represented by a first subset of icons is not supported by the data preparation server application according to a version number of the data preparation server application and (ii) a second subset of parameterized operations represented by a second subset of icons is supported by the data preparation server application. The device provides a first indication that the parameterized operations represented by the icons in the first subset are unavailable to be inserted into the data preparation flow and displays a visual indication that each of the icons in the second subset is available to be inserted.

Abstract: Game consoles utilize streamed content over a data network, such as multiplayer scenarios where disparately located players may interact with one another. Streamed interactions may be competing with other computing devices and associated software applications running in parallel. Such a competition for available bandwidth within may result in data congestion, which may in turn cause perceivable delays and/or jitter. However, some types of data are more susceptible to perceivable delays and/or jitter than other types of data. The presently disclosed technology distinguishes between types of streamed data content and tags the streamed data content according to a QoS metric. QoS packet tagging indicates a priority to handling the data within nodes and links of a data network. Further, the presently disclosed technology permits user configurable tagging settings that allow the user to customize tagging specific to their network environment.

Abstract: A flow-through pressure-vacuum valve includes a valve body having a tank-side opening and a vent-side opening. A pressure relief valve (e.g., a ball held in a corresponding seat by gravity) is positioned within a first passageway through the body. The ball is moved from the first valve seat to open the first passageway when pressure at the tank-side opening exceeds pressure at the vent-side opening by a predetermined pressure differential. A vacuum relief valve is positioned within another passageway (e.g., a serpentine passageway). The vacuum relief valve (e.g., also a ball held in a corresponding seat by gravity) is positioned within the serpentine passageway. Analogously, the ball is moved from the valve seat to open the serpentine passageway when pressure at the tank-side opening is less than the pressure at the vent-side opening by a predetermined pressure differential.

Abstract: A surgical system and method of operating the same. A manipulator supports and facilitates movement of a surgical tool along a tool path relative to a surgical site. A navigation system includes a localizer to monitor states of the manipulator and the surgical site. Controller(s) determine a commanded state of the surgical tool and an actual state of the surgical tool relative to the tool path for a given time step. The controller(s) detect a deviation between the commanded state and the actual state of the surgical tool for the given time step. The controller(s) respond to the deviation by modification of one or both of: a feed rate of the surgical tool; and the tool path. In some implementations, the controller(s) predict, based on the deviation, a future deviation between a future commanded state and a future actual state of the surgical tool for a given future time step.
