  • Publication number: 20230421661
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein can take advantage of the caching abilities of the browser and the idle time of the user to prefetch tag libraries of one or more tags for execution in a subsequent content page. For example, these systems and methods can provide the ability to prefetch and not execute a tag library on a content page before it is required so the tag library is cached in the browser. When the browser hits the page that uses the tag library, the tag library can be quickly retrieved from memory and executed.

  • Publication number: 20230403988
    Abstract: A farming machine is configured to autonomously operate in a field to accomplish a farming objective. While doing so the farming machine can dynamically modify treatment plans and/or generate experimental treatment plans. Dynamically modifying treatment plans includes modifying, delaying, accelerating, adding, and/or removing farming actions in a treatment plan. Generating an experimental treatment plan includes intentionally modifying a treatment plan to induce a variance in a result, measuring the result, and determining whether the result from the experimental treatment plan is better than the unmodified treatment plan. The farming machine is also configured to generate user interactable feedback, and receive user generated instruction, to dynamically modify treatment plans and/or generate experimental treatment plans.

  • Publication number: 20230401330
    Abstract: In an example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a system, method, and storage medium comprising a processor, memory, and instructions to send a request for authorization to a user wherein the authorization is limited to a subset of privileged information associated with the user, receive a response for authorization from the user. The instructions, responsive to the receipt of the response, access the subset of privileged information from a user data repository. The instructions, responsive to the access, send an audit record to an audit system, wherein the audit record comprises the request, the response, and a summary of the access and send the audit record to the user.

  • Patent number: 11838094
    Abstract: A repeater for maintaining wireless line of sight communications. The repeater is autonomously repositional in both absolute location and azimuthal orientation. The repeater has at least two vibratory motors, or other vibration sources, which provide oscillations to depending legs against a support surface. By selectively operating one or more of the vibration sources together or independently, the repeater may be moved as helpful to maintain line of sight communication with another repeater or other operational hardware. A command signal from a remote base station controls the locomotion of the repeater to provide both a change in absolute position relative to the surroundings and a rotational change in azimuthal orientation as necessary to maintain communication under dynamic conditions.

  • Publication number: 20230367959
    Abstract: A tag management system can implement a combined synchronous and asynchronous tag-loading scheme. In an embodiment of this scheme, a synchronous tag may be included at the top of or near the top of a content page. This synchronous tag can hide one or more page elements that are to be modified by a subsequent asynchronous personalization tag. Subsequently, the asynchronous personalization tag can update the page element and then cause the page element to be displayed. As a result, flicker between the old and new page elements can be reduced or avoided.

  • Patent number: 11798808
    Abstract: A method of Atomic Precision Advanced Manufacturing (APAM) is provided, in which a substrate is doped from a dopant precursor gas. The method involves covering a surface of the substrate with a hard mask, selectively removing material from the hard mask such that selected areas of the substrate surface are laid bare, exposing the laid-bare areas to the dopant precursor gas, and heating the substrate so as to incorporate dopant from the dopant precursor gas into the substrate surface.

  • Publication number: 20230271731
    Abstract: A method of establishing a system for gathering surveillance data in a hostile environment. The method comprises the steps of providing a movable tractor for ground hauling a trailer, and providing a drone which can be operated independently from the tractor. The trailer has a floor pan for supporting a relay sensor dispensing mechanism and a platform above the floor pan, with a hole for dispensing relay sensors therethrough. The relay sensor dispensing mechanism has an elevator for holding a stockpile of relay sensors, and elevating the relay sensors through the hole. The method comprises disposing at least one relay sensor in the elevator, elevating the relay sensor to a pickup position at or above the platform and retrieving the relay sensor with a drone for subsequent deposition in the hostile environment. The relay sensor then gathers and transceives surveillance data for use and interpretation by an operator. Optional a conveyor chute may replenish the elevator when it is depleted of relay sensors.

  • Publication number: 20230269203
    Abstract: Apparatuses (e.g., systems and devices) and methods to view otherwise hidden connectivity of networking devices. An electronic device such as a network device connected to a variety of different devices, may be observed through a real-time image onto which information about the connectivity and/or connections may be display to show identity, connectivity state and other information associated with ports of the network device(s). These methods may be implemented on a mobile device used to capture images of the network device and present an overlay of virtual objects on the captured images to a user in real time. The virtual objects may dynamically move or change shape in real time depending on the movement of the mobile device. One or more filtering techniques may be used to stabilize the virtual objects with respect to the captured images.
