  • Publication number: 20240135090
    Abstract: Disclosed is a platform that manages worker users in a temporary staffing environment via an artificial machine learning model. The temporary staffing platform matches available workers to available shifts/gigs. Additional features include generating provisional or near-miss matches and informing workers how to turn those near-misses into full matches, plotting a gig-career path to develop additional skills, gamify development, and automatically generate resumes. The platform generates a set of skill tags associated with each shift/gig performed by the user. Designing of resume text files by the artificial machine learning model includes procedurally generated descriptions of experience the user has based on the recording of each shift/gig performed by the user and the skill tags associated with each recorded shift/gig, wherein a format of the resume text file is formulated by the artificial machine learning model evaluating a mix of skill tags and employers amassed by the user.

  • Publication number: 20240136974
    Abstract: An electrical bus system has an integrated trunk bus that includes at least one positive bus line, an equal number of negative bus line, and a messenger cable that that are twisted together to form a single, integrated trunk bus line. The messenger cable provides mechanical support and is coupled to vertical support using brackets, ground clamps, or other suitable coupling techniques, thereby eliminating the need for cable hangers or trenching. The messenger cable provides a grounding function, thereby eliminating the need for an additional grounding line. Multi-tap shear bolt connectors are used to connect the integrated trunk bus line to photovoltaic wires carrying the output from one or more solar panel arrays, thereby obviating the need for combiner boxes used in conventional systems.

  • Publication number: 20240111520
    Abstract: Customized updates are generated for instances of storage management software running on storage management servers in different storage systems. The filenames of class files used by each instance of the storage management software are stored in respective databases associated with those storage management software instances. Thread dumps are created and searched for class files of the storage management software to create a baseline. The baseline is updated by comparing class files used in response to UI actions and REST API calls and storing names of class files that are not already in the database. To update an instance of the storage management software, the class files of a general update are compared with the filenames in the database associated with the instance and non-matching files are omitted from the customized update foe that instance.

  • Publication number: 20230119809
    Abstract: A tuning fork sensor system places a controlled bias on the proof-mass drive-axis electrodes to cancel the quadrature charge. Also, its charge amplifiers employ a field-effect transistor biased slightly into the triode region so that it behaves as a very large value resistor. In addition, it uses a phase-locked loop having a special loop filter in order to optimize performance by rejecting off-frequency drive feedthrough to the motor pick-off while resulting in very low phase wander for the demodulation references.

  • Patent number: 11327102
    Abstract: Aspects are generally directed to a compact and low-noise electric field detector, methods of operation, and methods of production thereof. In one example, an electric field detector includes a proof mass, a source of concentrated charge coupled to the proof mass, and a substrate having a substrate offset space defined therein, the proof mass being suspended above the substrate offset space. The electric field detector further includes a sense electrode disposed on the substrate within the substrate offset space and proximate the proof mass, the sense electrode being configured to measure a change in capacitance relative to the proof mass from movement of the proof mass in response to a received electric field at the source of concentrated charge. The electric field detector includes a control circuit coupled to the sense electrode and configured to determine a characteristic of the electric field based on the measured change in capacitance.
