Abstract: Processor systems to estimate audience sizes and impression counts for different frequency intervals are disclosed. An example processor system includes a memory management unit (MMU) to assign requests from computing devices indicative of accesses to media to a first block of memory and to assign user-identified impression data corresponding to user-identified impressions to a second block of memory. The processor system including an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) to determine multipliers relating a first probability distribution for the user-identified impressions to a second probability distribution for census impressions. The multipliers based on probability constraints defined by weighted probabilities associated with the second probability distribution, where different ones of the probabilities weighted based on estimated populations for corresponding ones of the different demographics.

Abstract: According to at least one embodiment, a method for writing, by a computing thread, data to a ring buffer is disclosed. The method includes determining whether the ring buffer is full. If the ring buffer is not full, the method further includes: reserving an element of the ring buffer for writing the data, wherein reserving the element includes incrementing a size variable corresponding to a number of stored elements in the ring buffer; reserving a portion of the ring buffer at which the data is to be written; and determining whether a state of the portion of the ring buffer is in change by at least one other computing thread. If the state is not in change, the method further includes: marking the state of the portion of the ring buffer as being in change by the computing thread; and writing the data to the portion of the ring buffer.

Abstract: Systems and methods for entity recommendation can make use of rich data by allowing the items to be recommended and the recipients of the recommendation (e.g., users) to be modeled as “complex entities” composed of one or more static sub-entities and/or a dynamic component, and by utilizing information about multiple relationships between the sub-entities as reflected in bipartite graphs. Generating recommendations from such information may involve creating vector representations of the sub-entities based on the bipartite graphs (e.g., using graph-based convolutional networks), and combining these vector representations into representations of the items and users (or other recipients) to be fed into a classifier model.

Abstract: Training a machine learning model (e.g., a neural network model such as a convolutional neural network (CNN) model) so that, when trained, the model can be utilized in processing vision data (e.g., from a vision component of a robot), that captures an object, to generate a rich object-centric embedding for the vision data. The generated embedding can enable differentiation of even subtle variations of attributes of the object captured by the vision data.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for managing radio device transmitters, beams, and receivers within a power-limited system. In one embodiment, the methods and apparatus utilize so-called “quasi-licensed” CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) wireless spectrum in conjunction with a distributed controller architecture that dynamically allocates frequency, base station, and transmit/receive beam resources for delivery of services to a number of installed fixed wireless apparatus (FWA) at user or subscriber premises. The FWA include radio path controller logic that obtains signal data via its antennae and radio head, and transmits the data to a network centralized controller that determines the resource allocation and timing (e.g., via a slotted TDD medium) for service delivery to each FWA. As such, the base stations do not determine the allocations as in the prior art, and multiple power-limited base stations can transmit signals to a single FWA to achieve greater coverage area and/or receive aggregated power.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus in which a client computer initiates and communicates a distributed ledger transaction, which transaction is labeled with a timestamp. A first hashing algorithm are applied to the transaction data and timestamp data to create a first hash value, and the first hash value is associated with the transaction data. When a second distributed ledger transaction is initiated, a second hashing algorithm is applied to the second transaction data to generate a second hash value, and a third hashing algorithm is applied to the to the first and second hash values to create a third hash value which is associated with the second transaction data. The procedure is implemented with each additional transaction data submission. The transaction data is processed in a first-in-first-out sequence based upon the hash values associated with the transaction data.

Abstract: A system determines the frequency of grid signals corresponding to an electrical grid in real time. The system includes a transient detector that monitors a grid signal from a voltage meter or a current meter connected to the electrical grid. The system produces, in real time and at a sampling rate, a deviation signal indicative of a periodicity of the monitored grid signal. The system determines, over one or more cycles of the monitored grid signal, a measurement signal corresponding to the deviation signal. The system determines a frequency signal that corresponds a frequency estimation of the monitored signal by applying a frequency estimation when values of the measurement signal are less than a deviation threshold and maintaining the frequency signal at a constant value when values of the measured signal equal or exceeds the deviation threshold.

Abstract: A method of and system for handling latency issues encountered in producing real-time entertainment such as games of skill synchronized with live or taped televised events is described herein. There are multiple situations that are dealt with regarding latencies in receiving a television signal with respect to real-time entertainment based on the unfolding games played along with the telecasts. Systemic delays, arbitrarily imposed delays of a broadcast signal and variances in the precise broadcast times of taped television programs have to be equalized so as to provide fair entertainment.

Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable systems to centralize access to various digital items irrespective of the location of those digital items. To achieve this, items that are stored at their original location, e.g., within a cloud storage platform, can be selected by a user for storage at a centralized location such as a favorites section. These items are selected using an interface control which can be an operating system component of an item keeping system that is accessible in any context or application. The item keeping system can generate an item alias for selected items which is then stored in the centralized location. In addition, item aliases can be moved to various destinations by the user to enable customized item storage for items of varying types, origin, and location. In addition, functionality of the interface control can be modified to suite selected items.

A traffic monitor on the private platform monitors performance criteria of the private platform, and reports traffic telemetry to the traffic manager. Based on the traffic telemetry, the traffic manager may instantiate one or more instances of the web app on the public platform to handle traffic. Private data gathered by such instantiated instance(s) is persisted to storage in the private platform, but not in the public platform.

Abstract: The technology relates to controlling a vehicle in an autonomous driving mode, the method. For instance, a vehicle may be maneuvered in the autonomous driving mode using pre-stored map information identifying traffic flow directions. Data may be received from a perception system of the vehicle identifying objects in an external environment of the vehicle related to a traffic redirection not identified the map information. The received data may be used to identify one or more corridors of a traffic redirection. One of the one or more corridors may be selected based on a direction of traffic flow through the selected corridor. The vehicle may then be controlled in the autonomous driving mode to enter and follow the selected one of the one or more corridors based on the determined direction of flow of traffic through each of the one or more corridors.
