Abstract: Connection modification based on traffic pattern is described. In accordance with the described techniques, a traffic pattern of memory operations across a set of connections between at least one device and at least one memory is monitored. The traffic pattern is then compared to a threshold traffic pattern condition, such as an amount of data traffic in different directions across the connections. A traffic direction of at least one connection of the set of connections is modified based on the traffic pattern corresponding to the threshold traffic pattern condition.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.

Abstract: Identifying a likely cause of a problem in an application can include: injecting a series of a set of predetermined faults into the application; sampling a subset of a set of training features from the application during each predetermined fault injected into the application and labeling each subset with an identifier of the corresponding predetermined fault; and training a classifier to identify the likely cause by associating a set of real-time features sampled from the application that pertain to the problem to one or more of the predetermined faults in response to the training features.

Abstract: A municipal solid waste or recycling facility tip assessment system, controller, and computer program provide remediation for environmental contaminant items dumped at a municipal solid waste or recycling facility. The controller monitors image stream(s) from image capturing device(s) positioned to have a field of view of a haul vehicle unloading waste or recycling articles that creates a hauler-load at a tip location. The controller recognizes within the image stream(s), based on the library, an image of a environmental contaminant item included in the waste articles. The controller generates an environmental contaminant item record that aggregates time, location, and image data that establish that the origin of the recognized environmental contaminant item was the haul vehicle. The controller transmits an alert to the prohibited waste remediation system based on the recognized environmental contaminant item record.

Abstract: Method and apparatus monitor eviction conflicts among cache directory entries in a cache directory and produce cache directory victim entry information for a memory manager. In some examples, the memory manager reduces future cache directory conflicts by changing a page level physical address assignment for a page of memory based on the produced cache directory victim entry information. In some examples, a scalable data fabric includes hardware control logic that performs the monitoring of the eviction conflicts among cache directory entries in the cache directory and produces the cache directory victim entry information.

Abstract: An electronic device for analyzing an aqueous solution may comprise a housing, one or more measurement circuits and a control circuit all arranged inside the housing. The housing may be configured to receive a test element. The one or more measurement circuits may be configured to produce one or more corresponding sets of measurement signals relating to an aqueous solution received on the test element. The control circuit may include a memory having instructions stored therein that are executable by the control circuit to process the one or more sets of measurement signals to determine one or more corresponding characteristics of the aqueous solution.

Abstract: An apparatus for analyzing an aqueous solution, as may be implemented with a hand-held portable electronic device (10) and test element (16). A test pad (32) of the test element responsive in color to a characteristic of an aqueous solution is interrogated by the device by measuring intensity values of an interrogating test light as reflected off of the test pad. The test pad may be supported on an opaque and non-reflective substrate (28) that cooperates with an opaque edge portion (14E) of a test element placement member (14B) and associated side walls (14W) of the device to minimize the impingement of ambient light onto the test pad during interrogation.

Abstract: There are disclosed housings for use in weaning piglets including walls, a roof and, at the bottom of the housing, an electrical heater lying flat underneath a surface providing at least a part of a floor for the housing. In one of the examples, the heater is a heater which is electrically insulated to form a panel-shaped structure lying flat on a base of the housing, an upper surface of the structure providing at least part of a floor for the housing. In another example, the housing comprises a box, moulded to form in one piece the said walls and floor, and a lid for the box, to form the said roof, the heater being encapsulated in the floor.
