  • Patent number: 11042660
    Abstract: In one implementation, a first access behavior is determined. The first access behavior is for accessing a first dataset associated with a first tenant of a storage system, and the first dataset is stored in a first data node in the storage system. A second access behavior is determined. The second access behavior is for accessing a data entry that is to be added into a second dataset associated with a second tenant of the storage system, and the second dataset is stored in at least one data node in the storage system. In response to a deviation between the first access behavior and second access behavior being above a predefined threshold, the data entry is stored into the first data node.

  • Patent number: 10957032
    Abstract: Scheduling automated visual inspection tasks includes capturing an image of a component to be inspected. A visual inspection model is formed with a model engine as a composite model of utility modules and functional modules to perform visual inspection of the image of the component. An abstract processing workflow of the visual inspection model is derived with a scheduler including dependencies between the utility modules and the functional modules. Performance of each of the functional modules is profiled with the scheduler by testing performance with available hardware resources to produce a performance profile. Parallel instances of each of the functional modules in a branch of the abstract processing workflow are scheduled with the scheduler according to the dependencies and the performance profiles. An indication of defects in the component is produced by processing the visual inspection model according to the scheduled functional modules.

  • Patent number: 10949999
    Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a computer system for determining a location using street view images. A mobile device obtains an image captured by the mobile device, obtains a set of street view images, and obtains a first graph of the image captured by the mobile device and a plurality of second graphs of the set of the street view images. The first graph includes nodes representing interest points in the image captured by the mobile device, and the plurality of the second graphs includes nodes representing interest points in the set of the street view images. The mobile device determines a location of the mobile device, based on relevance between the first graph and the plurality of the second graphs.

  • Patent number: 10877938
    Abstract: An approach is provided for synchronizing elements in files across a technical environment. In one embodiment, a processor obtains a first change to a first file. The processor also obtains data identifying a second file. The processor determines if the change is supported by a data library in a pre-defined list of data sources. The processor analyzes the data library to determine a type of the change. The processor applies the type of the change to the second file.

  • Publication number: 20190204855
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and system for controlling the operation of a fly-by-wire aircraft. One or more yaw commands are received from an operator control, and one or more actual induced rolls rates are determined based on the yaw commands. A yaw signal and a roll-countering command are sent to flight control components of the aircraft, the yaw signal to cause a yaw motion in the aircraft, and the roll-countering command to counter the actual induced rolls. A standardized roll rate command is determined based on the yaw command, and the standardized roll rate command is sent to the flight control components to cause a roll motion in the aircraft.
