Abstract: A liquid transfer device having a housing with a top end, a bottom end, a sidewall, and an inner cavity. The sidewall has an inner surface and an outer surface. There is a plurality of openings traversing said sidewall. Also present is a filtering surface that covers the openings. The water or other liquids are pumped or transferred with a pump contained inside the inner cavity, with a fluid exit used for carrying the water out towards exterior hosing.
Abstract: In some implementations, data indicating a touch received on a proximity-sensitive display is received while the proximity-sensitive display is presenting one or more items. In one aspect, the techniques describe may involve a process for disambiguating touch selections of hypothesized items, such as text or graphical objects that have been generated based on input data, on a proximity-sensitive display. This process may allow a user to more easily select hypothesized items that the user may wish to correct, by determining whether a touch received through the proximity-sensitive display represents a selection of each hypothesized item based at least on a level of confidence that the hypothesized item accurately represents the input data.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for speech endpointing based on word comparisons are described. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of obtaining a transcription of an utterance. The actions further include determining, as a first value, a quantity of text samples in a collection of text samples that (i) include terms that match the transcription, and (ii) do not include any additional terms. The actions further include determining, as a second value, a quantity of text samples in the collection of text samples that (i) include terms that match the transcription, and (ii) include one or more additional terms. The actions further include classifying the utterance as a likely incomplete utterance or not a likely incomplete utterance based at least on comparing the first value and the second value.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for memory maintenance operations. A non-volatile memory device comprises a non-volatile memory medium. A non-volatile memory device is configured to receive a refresh command from a controller over a bus. A non-volatile memory device is configured to perform one or more maintenance operations on a non-volatile memory medium during a predefined period of time after receiving a refresh command.
Abstract: A method for predicting a weighting factor to be applied to at least one sample in a bi-predicted Prediction Unit (PU) under reconstruction for decoding a coded video sequence includes reconstructing, from the coded video sequence, a previous weighting factor applied to a previously reconstructed PU; deriving the weighting factor to be applied to the at least one sample in the bi-predicted PU under reconstruction based on the previous weighting factor; and weighting a sample value of a sample in the bi-predicted PU under reconstruction by applying the weighting factor.
Abstract: Provided is a life cycle tracking system including a memory and a processor. The memory includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform certain operations. For example, the operations can include effecting a change in a first database including data related to a set of components installed on a blowout preventer stack, in response to a drag and drop operation having been performed on a human machine interface. The change can include associating information from a second database to the first database. The second database includes data related to a set of spare components.

Abstract: A wireless device receives one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters for a first licensed assisted access (LAA) cell and a second LAA cell. The wireless device selectively monitors, in a first subframe, a downlink physical control channel (PDCCH) on a first LAA cell, depending on whether there is an uplink transmission in the first subframe on the second LAA cell.
Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to impute media consumption behavior are disclosed. An example method includes calculating, by executing an instruction with a processor, first viewing probabilities for tuning panelists in a tuning household. The example method also includes calculating, by executing an instruction with the processor, second viewing probabilities for viewing panelists in a plurality of learning households having a same household size as the tuning household. The example method also includes identifying, by executing an instruction with the processor, a matching one of the plurality of learning households based on a difference between the first viewing probabilities and respective ones of the second viewing probabilities.
