Abstract: A system for managing inventory items within a storage facility includes a control server communicably coupled to a first robotic apparatus and a second robotic apparatus. The storage facility includes a dynamic storage space in which a dynamic storage system is placed beneath the static storage system. The control server maps inventory items to one of the dynamic storage system and the static storage system based on a set of attributes. The control server receives request for fulfillment of an order. Based on the received request, the first robotic apparatus retrieves inventory items stored in the dynamic storage system, and the second robotic apparatus retrieves inventory items stored in the static storage system. The inventory items collected from the dynamic storage system and the static storage system are transported to an order fulfillment and replenishment location to consolidate the retrieved items and fulfill the order.

Abstract: Provided is a locker system that includes a plurality of lockable doors, a security lock mechanism, and a plurality of compartments. Opening of each lockable door is controlled based on a corresponding security parameter. The security lock mechanism controls opening and closing of each lockable door based on the corresponding security parameter. Each compartment is accessible from a front side and a rear side of the locker system. An access to each compartment from the front side is controlled by a corresponding lockable door. Each compartment is open from the rear side. When a robotic apparatus, transporting one or more items associated with a process at a storage facility, aligns with the locker system from the rear side, the one or more items are accessible from the front side based on opening of one or more corresponding lockable doors of one or more compartments of the plurality of compartments.

Abstract: A system performs efficient verification of a circuit design. The system receives a circuit design including circuit blocks. The system identifies some of the circuit blocks as modeled circuit blocks. The system generates simplified reduced models (SRMs) for the modeled circuit blocks. A simplified reduced model includes circuit details sufficient for static verification of the circuit design but excludes some of the circuit details for the modeled circuit block. The system performs static verification of the circuit design using the simplified reduced models.

Abstract: Techniques are described for controlling operation of a pixel conversion ADC in a manner that enforces strict timing and synchronization of ramp and clock signaling. Synchronizing techniques can be applied to generate a corrected ramp start signal based on synchronizing a received ramp start signal to an input clocking signal, and to generate a controller clock signal based on synchronizing an input clocking signal to the corrected ramp start signal. The corrected ramp start signal and the controller clock signal can be used to control generation of a ramp enable signal for controlling timing of pixel ramp voltage generation digital pixel conversion counting, and to control generation of an output clocking signal used by the digital pixel conversion counting.

Abstract: Transportable storage devices are communicatively coupled behind one or more dedicated “edge” data servers to take advantage of the benefits of the data servers and transportable storage devices while limiting their disadvantages. Each edge data server ingests data from one or more client devices and copies the data to one or more of the transportable storage devices for eventual transport to a cloud data center for upload to a cloud storage system. Multiple versions of a segment of data (e.g., of a file or a blob) are maintained at various points in the disclosed system and the disclosed technology ensures that the most recent version is the version ultimately stored on the cloud storage system.

Abstract: A configuration system may generate synthetic datasets based on machine learning, and may provide the synthetic datasets in order to configure, train, test, and/or otherwise modify operation of network equipment and/or other devices. The configuration system may receive a sampling of data used by the particular network equipment, and may determine parameters that define values for the variables represented in the sampling. The configuration system may generate different datasets based on the parameters, and may determine an accuracy of each dataset to the sampling based on the values of each dataset conforming by different amounts to the parameters that define the values for the variables represented in the sampling by different amounts. The configuration system may modify the network equipment operation using the values from a particular dataset in response to determining that the accuracy of the particular dataset is greatest to the sampling.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and software for efficient accelerator offload in multi-accelerator frameworks. One multi-accelerator framework employs a compute platform including a plurality of processor cores and a plurality of accelerator devices. An application is executed on a first core and a portion of the application workload is offloaded to a first accelerator device. In connection with moving execution of the application to a second core, a second accelerator devices to be used for the offloaded workload is selected based on core-to-accelerator cost information for the second core. This core-to-accelerator cost information includes core-accelerator cost information for combinations of core-accelerator pairs, which are based, at least on part, on latencies projected for interconnect paths between cores and accelerators. Both single-socket and multi-socket platform are supported.

Abstract: A method for transporting objects using a pallet pick put system. The method includes placing an Object Carrying Unit (OCU) at a first location by a bot. The bot is designed to move the Object Carrying Unit (OCU) and receives an address of the first location. Further, the Object Carrying Unit (OCU) is clamped by a clamping unit to restrict movement of the Object Carrying Unit (OCU). A pallet and an object placed over the pallet are lifted using a mechanical equipment designed for transporting objects. Further, the pallet and the mechanical equipment are aligned by an alignment unit. Further, the pallet and the object are transferred on the Object Carrying Unit (OCU). Thereafter, the bot is instructed to carry the Object Carrying Unit (OCU) upon loading to a second location after the Object Carrying Unit (OCU) is released by the clamping unit.

Abstract: A workflow manager can be configured to present a graphical interface to an entity and display a current status of a user population within an active workflow. The workflow manager can identify and monitor individual user actions associated with user paths of the active workflow. The workflow manager can generate user path and workflow analytics that identify the progress of individual users and summarize the overall progress of the user population within the active workflow. The workflow analytics can be generated from event notifications that are emitted by the communications and filters of the active workflow. The graphical interface can be actively updated, in response to the emission of the event notifications, to present the workflow analytics and user population progress to the entity.

Abstract: Fibers, yarns, woven fabric including the yarns and fibers, and methods of manufacturing the same are disclosed. Fibers can include base material staple fibers and dissolvable or water-soluble fibers. At least the base material staple fiber is mixed and cleaned to form a base material web or sliver. The clean base material web or sliver is then intimately mixed with the dissolvable fibers in a blow room to form a homogenously-mixed base material/dissolvable material sliver. The homogenously-mixed base material/dissolvable material sliver is then blended again during drawing so as to produce a twice-mixed, ultra-homogenous yarn comprising base material and dissolvable material. A processing step can allow for removal of the dissolvable fibers to produce a yarn defining a plurality of pores that are uniformly distributed throughout the structure of the yarn.
