Abstract: Systems and methods for setting virtual machines (“VMs”) to desired configurations while the virtual machines are running. In some systems, a user can select a VM and a desired configuration. An agent can then set an attribute of the virtual machine to indicate that on guest operation system (“OS”) reboot of the VM, the VM will enter BIOS mode. The agent can also store the desired configuration in the database based on authenticating the user. When the VM reboots at a future time, the attribute can cause the VM to enter BIOS setup. The agent can be notified and can retrieve the desired configuration from a database using an identifier for the VM. Then the agent can apply the desired configuration to the VM during BIOS setup with a system process that does not require further user authentication.

Abstract: An agricultural application system can include a nozzle assembly positioned along a boom assembly and can be configured to selectively dispense an agricultural product therefrom. One or more sensors can be operably coupled with the boom assembly and configured to capture data associated with first and second application variables. A controller can be communicatively coupled to the one or more sensors. The controller can include a processor and associated memory. The memory can store instructions that, when implemented by the processor, configure the controller to receive the data associated with the one or more application variables and calculate the spray quality index. The first application variable can have a first scaling factor and a second application variable can have a second scaling factor. The second scaling factor may differ from the first scaling factor.

Abstract: A method including determining, in real-time, a diversity preference score for a user based at least in part on an anchor item chosen by the user via a user interface executed on a user device of the user. The method also can include determining, in real-time, a comparison result between the diversity preference score and a diversity preference threshold. The method further can include generating, in real-time, a personalized recommendation pool based on (a) the comparison result, (b) a complementary recommendation pool generated based at least in part on the anchor item, and (c) a diversity objective function. In many embodiments, when the comparison result indicates that the diversity preference score is greater than the diversity preference threshold, the diversity objective function can be associated with cross-domain diversity.

Abstract: A system for monitoring a foundation includes a sensor cartridge assembly. The sensor cartridge assembly includes a sensor disposed in a sensor tube and a sensor head attached to an end of the sensor tube. Wiring coupled to the sensor and routed in the sensor tube to the sensor head conveys power and/or telemetry between the sensor and a controller. The sensor tube is configured to be inserted into a raceway attached to a foundation. The raceway may be within the foundation and/or located at a perimeter of the foundation. A method for monitoring a foundation includes deriving an elevation of the foundation at the location of the sensor based on pressure measurements made by the sensor within the sensor tube.

Abstract: A method for generating an executable application to transform and load data into a structured dataset includes receiving a metadata file that specifies values for parameters for structuring data feeds, received from a networked data source, into a structured database. The metadata file specifies logical rules for transforming the data feeds. The values of the parameters and the logical rules for transforming the plurality of the data feeds are validated to ensure logical consistency for each data feed. Data rules are generated that specify standards for transforming each data feed in accordance with the validated values of the parameters and logical rules. The executable application is generated that is configured to receive source data comprising a data feed from one or more data sources and transform the source data into structured data that satisfies the one or more standards for the structured data record in compliance with the data rules.

Abstract: Imaging circuitry may include half-driver sub-circuits configured to support Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) D-PHY mode and C-PHY mode. Groups of two half-driver sub-circuits can be coupled together in the D-PHY mode, whereas groups of three half-driver sub-circuits can be coupled together in the C-PHY mode. Each half-driver sub-circuit can include one or more pull-up paths and one or more pull-down paths. Each half-driver sub-circuit can include multiple slices, a first portion of which can be operated to pull in a first direction and a second portion of which can be operated to pull in a second direction opposing the first direction to achieve the desired amount of equalization. The half-driver sub-circuits can be employed as the final driver stage of a shared data path architecture supporting both D-PHY and C-PHY modes. The shared data path can include serializers, pre-driver logic, and/or equalization enable blocks.

Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein provide a synchronization engine that operates in conjunction with a service worker to dynamically store and update a working set of user data and single page application (SPA) resources from a network server to a user device. The working set can be hosted across several domains and identified by association with a user account. Accordingly, the synchronization engine retrieves the working set from the network server to enable offline execution of the single page applications. As such, subsequent requests for interacting with a single page application are then serviced by the synchronization engine using the working set retrieved from the network server. For instance, the service worker can bind user data to the application resources to enable progressive rendering through an application controller using locally available resources. In this way, the disclosed system provides a consistent user experience irrespective of network connectivity.

Abstract: A PON system includes both a PON via which optical services are delivered and a wireless network overlaying the PON. The wireless network may be a self-organizing wireless mesh network, and may generally operate as a logical signaling pathway via which information regarding optical states/statuses of PON components and/or related information is delivered from the field to back-end servers of the PON system. Accordingly, the system may include multiple in-common nodes (e.g., OLTs, LMTUs, etc.) which are included in both the PON and the wireless network. Based on optical information received via the wireless network, the servers can localize the physical location of a PON fault to a particular geographical region of multiple regions serviced by the PON (in some cases narrowing the fault's physical location to a particular span, FDH, or optical terminal), and may dispatch a technician directly to the localized physical location to address the fault.
