  • Patent number: 11901751
    Abstract: An indexed sequence of bits in a buffer is allocated for tracking a battery charging state. The indexed sequence of bits has a first number of bits. A battery voltage of a rechargeable battery is sampled at a sampling rate. For each sampled battery voltage, the battery voltage is compared with a voltage threshold. A next bit position in the indexed sequence of bits is identified. In accordance with a determination that a comparison result is true, a predefined first value is added to the next bit position. A second number of bits that are filled with the predefined first value is determined. A ratio between the second number and the first number is also determined. In accordance with a determination that the ratio exceeds a threshold step-down ratio, a battery charge voltage is stepped down. The rechargeable battery is charged to a step-down voltage.

  • Patent number: 11898894
    Abstract: A fluid sensing system includes a target positioned at a target level, a first transducer configured to generate a first sound wave, and a second transducer configured to generate a second sound wave. An electronic processor is configured to produce a first signal to drive the first transducer and receive a first indication of a detected first echo from the first transducer. The electronic processor is configured to determine a first level of the fluid and determine whether the first level is less than or equal to the target level. The electronic processor is configured to produce, in response to determining the first level is less than or equal to the target level, a second signal to drive the second transducer, receive a second indication of a detected second echo from the second transducer, and determine a second level of the fluid based on the second indication.

  • Patent number: 11899952
    Abstract: A system can log data access activity to a memory array with a metadata module while the memory array is logically divided into multiple namespaces. A workload can be determined for each namespace by the metadata module and a metadata strategy can be created with the metadata module in view of the respective namespace workloads. A first metadata and second metadata may be generated for respective first and second user-generated data for storage into a first namespace of the multiple namespaces. The first metadata can be compressed with a compression level prescribed by the metadata strategy in response to a detected or predicted workload to the first namespace before the first metadata, second metadata, first user-generated data, and second user-generated data are each stored in the first namespace.

  • Patent number: 11900357
    Abstract: An EMV enabled terminal may communicate transaction related information to a user via a standard user interface of the terminal, for example, within a user interface displayed on a display screen of the terminal. The transaction related information may be spoken out loud to the user by the terminal. However, users with visual, audio, or other physical impairments may be unable to access the display of the terminal, view the displayed information, or hear the spoken information. Systems and methods disclosed herein communicate transaction related information via an alternate user interface. Instead of relying on the standard user interface related communications, information about the status of a transaction or transaction related information may be determined based on monitoring and evaluating the communications between an EMV secure element of a dynamic transaction card and the terminal via a contact connection.

  • Patent number: 11900080
    Abstract: Some embodiments determine automatically which synthesized or otherwise autocreated suggestions for source code editing are presented to developers. Some filter out autocreated coding suggestions that have not been sufficiently endorsed by a developer's team, based on a suggestion trust score. The trust score may reflect the suggestion's adoption in a particular repository or codebase, or affiliation of the suggestion with a library release, or an actual or implied review of the suggestion by team members. Some suggestion filters enhance existing development team code review practices, by offering endorsed suggestions in autocompletion or analysis interfaces of tools and by withholding non-endorsed suggestions from display. Context illustrating the autocreated suggestion's provenance may be displayed to help developers decide whether to adopt the suggestion themselves while editing code.

  • Patent number: 11900224
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating training data for training a machine learning model to perform trajectory prediction. One of the methods includes: obtaining a training input, the training input including (i) data characterizing an agent in an environment as of a first time and (ii) data characterizing a candidate trajectory of the agent in the environment for a first time period that is after the first time. A long-term label for the candidate trajectory that indicates whether the agent actually followed the candidate trajectory for the first time period is determined. A short-term label for the candidate trajectory that indicates whether the agent intended to follow the candidate trajectory is determined. A ground-truth probability for the candidate trajectory is determined. The training input is associated with the ground-truth probability for the candidate trajectory in the training data.
