Abstract: Embodiments may relate to pruning a distributed database for a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. A node may transmit a first multicast beacon over the P2P network. The node may receive a unicast synchronization request in response to the first multicast beacon, the unicast synchronization request comprising a removed list for the distributed database. The node may compare the removed list to a locally stored node list to determine a node removal. The node may determine if there is a failure in a node information call made to a node relating to the node removal. The node may, subsequent to a determination of the failure, update the locally stored node list based on the node removal. The node may transmit a second multicast beacon comprising the node removal. Nodes receiving the second multicast beacon may update a locally stored removed list using the node removal.

Abstract: Systems and methods for towing, hitching, and connecting devices are described. An autonomous guided vehicle includes an automated hitch capable of connecting to a variety of types of containers.

Abstract: Techniques for determining a speed for a vehicle as it traverses an environment with pedestrians are discussed herein. For example, a vehicle computing system may implement techniques to determine an action for a vehicle to take based on a detected pedestrian in an environment. The vehicle computing system may receive sensor data of an environment from a sensor associated with a vehicle, determine, based at least in part on the sensor data, an object in the environment and receive a predicted object trajectory associated with the object. The vehicle computing system may then determine, based on the predicted object trajectory, a distance between a simulated vehicle passing location and a predicted object location, determine, based on the distance, a speed, determine, based on the distance and the speed, a trajectory for the vehicle to follow, and control the vehicle based on the trajectory.

Abstract: Embodiments may relate to synchronizing nodes in a peer-to-peer network. A method comprises listening for a first multicast beacon during a duration of a discovery interval. The discovery interval comprises time intervals configured for a plurality of nodes in a squad. The method further comprises, in response to receiving the first multicast beacon during the duration of the discovery interval, transmitting a unicast synchronization request to a transmitter of the first multicast beacon. The unicast synchronization request comprises a node list.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel device and related method for a musician, performer in a band, or an ensemble, to stop, shut-off and/or disengage the signals created by their instrument electronically through grounding or disconnecting the instrument's connection to an audio generation device such as an amplifier, speaker, or other digital interface. The invention is exemplified by reference to an electric guitar connected to an amplifier, with the control device disrupting the electrical connection therebetween and incorporating a guitar pic for the control of the connection disruption. The control device may be implemented either by grounding the connection between the instrument or by disconnecting it completely using an electrical switch.

Abstract: Techniques are described for processing an electronic image for presentation in a display of an enterprise application according to a format for presenting electronic image in the enterprise application. A format for an enterprise application may indicate display attributes such as an aspect ratio, a frame size, a resolution, or the like. The format for presenting an electronic image may correspond to a type of an enterprise application, a function of an enterprise application, a feature of an enterprise application, one or more subjects of the electronic image, other criteria associated with an enterprise application, or a combination thereof. These techniques may enable an electronic image to be adjusted for presentation in enterprise applications that have different formats. Users may benefit by not having to provide an electronic image adjusted to the different formats, thereby enabling a single electronic image to be used for a variety of enterprise applications.

Abstract: In example embodiments, space filling elements displayed on a computer screen represent items in one or more levels of a hierarchical menu structure. The area of a space filling element indicates the number of accesses to an application associated with the space filling element. Other attributes of the space filling element may indicate values of characteristics of an associated application.

Abstract: Systems and methods in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention provide for representing data values of a data set as a plurality of graphical elements in a data visualization, where each data value is associated with a plurality of data dimensions. A first data visualization may be generated based on a first configuration of the dataset. The first data visualization and a first user interface are displayed on a data visualization display page. The first user interface includes the plurality of graphical elements in the first data visualization. A selection of a element of the plurality of graphical elements is received through the first user interface. Moreover, the data values based on the received selection are filtered. A second data visualization representing the data set excluding the filtered data values is displayed.

Abstract: Systems and methods in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention provide for representing a plurality of data values of a hierarchical dataset as graphical elements in a configurable data visualization. A first data visualization may be displayed in a data visualization display page, along with a user interface. A selection of a rendered root node and rendered leaf nodes to be displayed in a second data visualization is received from the user interface. Based on the selection of the rendered root node and rendered leaf nodes, a number of depth levels to display is determined. Also, which of the depth levels to display are identified based on the selection of the rendered root node and rendered leaf nodes. The second data visualization is rendered based on the determined number of depth levels and the identified depth levels.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for wellness maintenance programs configured for user-specific tracking of food consumption to goals. Upon receiving a digital image of food or beverage items, the digital image is transmitted to a repository configured to serve a plurality of accesses by a plurality of human members (e.g., a crowdsource repository). Members of the crowd generate food description annotations pertaining to aspects of the pictured food or beverage items. The food description annotations (e.g., menu picks, text descriptions) are used to look-up nutrition records. Some use cases correlate a set of food description annotations that are shared between two or more of the human members to generate a confidence score, and some use cases also receive food intake recommendations from the human members. The food intake recommendations can be recorded in a wellness profile which in turn can be used for progress tracking against nutrition goals.
