Abstract: Methods and systems for managing, storing, and serving data within a virtualized environment are described. In some embodiments, a data management system may manage the extraction and storage of virtual machine snapshots, provide near instantaneous restoration of a virtual machine or one or more files located on the virtual machine, and enable secondary workloads to directly use the data management system as a primary storage target to read or modify past versions of data. The data management system may allow a virtual machine snapshot of a virtual machine stored within the system to be directly mounted to enable substantially instantaneous virtual machine recovery of the virtual machine.

The method also includes extracting, from the received video content, a second data portion, separate from the first data portion, specifying one or more light control parameters that a controller associated with the light unit is configured to interpret as instructions for controlling the light unit. The method also includes transmitting the extracted second data portion to the controller to facilitate the controller controlling the light unit according to the specified one or more light control parameters.

Abstract: Systems and methods include using a magnetic core winder to install a powerline-mounted device with a non-gapped magnetic core, therefore reducing the weight of the powerline-mounted device while still harvesting equal or more power than a large cross-sectional and gapped magnetic cores. In particular, the methods include installing bobbin(s) and a core housing on a powerline and winding strip/ribbon core material onto the core housing. The bobbins may be wound axially opposed to on a toroid winder, which improves the accuracy of turns count of the magnetic core. The improved accuracy of turns count may increase the accuracy and/or tolerance of magnetic component(s) of the powerline-mounted device.

Abstract: Systems as described herein may include detecting live browser information that a user navigates to a first website displayed in a first open browser tab and a second website displayed in a second open browser tab. A data sharing server may provide the live browser information to a machine learning model as input. Based on feedback from the machine learning model, one or more similar products displayed in the first website and the second website may be determined. The data sharing server may detect an update on the one or more similar products, and cause a user device to display an alert indicating the update on the similar products.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed towards mitigation of qubit crosstalk-induced errors within a quantum computing system (QCS). A compensating signal is provided to one or more qubits. The compensating signal at least partially “cancels-out” (e.g., compensates for) the crosstalk between pairs of qubits. Such crosstalk-induced errors may include leakage of a qubit's quantum state out of the quantum system's computational subspace. Thus, the embodiments may be employed to decrease quantum computational errors occurring from a qubit transitioning (or leaking) to an excited state that is not within the quantum system's computational subspace.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for sensing fluids. A fluid sensor is configured to analyze a fluid utilizing impedance spectroscopy. Capacitive impedance of fluids is sensed and measured.

Fluid analytics data is generated from sensor signal data of the fluids under test. Trainable artificial intelligence algorithms are used to generate fluid analytics data.

Abstract: In a handrail including a carcass, a stretch inhibitor within the carcass, and a sliding layer bonded to the carcass, at least a portion of the carcass has a gas phase dispersed in a solid polymer matrix. The gas phase can reduce a density of the carcass by at least 5% or 10%, or about 15%, as compared to a density of the polymer matrix.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for timestamping events on edge devices. A trusted source measures the latency to the edge device and the edge device's clock offset, and stores the information at the trusted source for later use. The trusted source sends the latency and the device's clock offset to the edge device for later use. The trusted source or the edge device adjusts a timestamp generated at the edge device using an estimated clock offset. The estimated clock offset is determined by extrapolation or interpolation from measured clock offsets.
