Abstract: Razors cartridges including a guard, a cap, and at least two blades with parallel sharpened edges located between the guard and cap are provided. The first blade has a first color and a second blade has a second color, where the first color is different than the second color. The blade color corresponds to an attribute of the blade (e.g., low cut force) that the color is disposed on or an attribute of the razor cartridge (e.g., sensitive skin). The color of the blade corresponds to a target user of the razor cartridge (e.g., male or female). The first blade defines a blade edge near or nearest the guard and a second blade defines a blade edge near or nearest the cap.

Abstract: A system and method of generating one or more integration tests are disclosed herein. A computing system receives a URL from a client device. The URL corresponds to a website hosted by a third party server. The computing system generates a recurrent neural network model for testing of the website. The one or more variables associated with the recurrent neural network model are defined by a genetic algorithm. The computing system inputs code associated with the website into the recurrent neural network model. The recurrent neural network model learns a plurality of possible paths through the website by permutating through each possible set of options on the website. The recurrent neural network mode generates, as output, a plurality of integration tests for at least the test website. The computing system compiles the plurality of integration tests into a format compatible with a testing service specified by the client device.

The user interface device receives an operator-requested drive mode request as an electrical signal indicative of a desired drive mode of the electric propulsion system.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to generating a complex entity index based on a combination of atomic and deep learned attributes associated with instances of a complex entity. For example, systems described herein generate a multi-dimensional representation of entity instances based on evaluation of digital content associated with the respective entity instances. Systems described herein further generate an index representation in which similarity of entity instances are illustrated and presented via an interactive presentation that enables a user to traverse instances of an entity to observe similarities and differences between instances of an entity that have similar embeddings to one another within a multi-dimensional index space.

Abstract: The present concepts relate to contiguously writing data blocks of a data group in storage media in a one-step writing operation without defragmenting. A host may assign a group identifier to the data group, tag the data blocks in the data group with the group identifier, and send the data blocks to a storage controller. In turn, the storage controller may receive the data blocks that are tagged with the common group identifier, and contiguously write the data blocks in contiguous free space in the storage media. As such, reading the data group from the storage media may be performed faster than if the data group has been allowed to be written with fragmentation. The present concepts may also avoid the costs associated with a two-step writing operation that involves defragmenting.

Abstract: A memory device with one or more planes having sub-blocks is disclosed. The memory device may further include a voltage switch transistor for each of sub-blocks. Additionally, the memory device may further include a row decoder for each of sub-blocks. As a result, an operation to two sub-blocks can be performed at different times. For example, using a row decoder and voltage switch transistor, a sub-block can be initially read, followed by a subsequent read of another sub-block using a separate row decoder and voltage switch transistor. By staggering the read operations through a time delay, the peak current Icc associated with the supply voltage can be reduced.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method as disclosed enables predicting of vertical loads on a vehicle tire. Thermal characteristics for a particular vehicle-tire combination are retrievably stored, the thermal characteristics determined as corresponding to a range of temperature values further correlated with a plurality of operating conditions, and the plurality of operating conditions comprising at least a vertical load. A model for predicting transient temperature behavior is generated (e.g., empirically trained) based on one or more tire-specific time constants. During operation of the vehicle-tire combination and responsive to at least a first temperature value, a computing device residing on the vehicle or otherwise cloud-based in nature is configured to determine a predicted vertical load based on a predicted second temperature value from the model and further based on the retrievably stored one or more thermal characteristics.

Abstract: A gyroscopic roll stabilizer comprises a gimbal having a support frame and enclosure configured to maintain a below-ambient pressure, a flywheel assembly including a flywheel and flywheel shaft, one or more bearings for rotatably mounting the flywheel inside the enclosure, a motor for rotating the flywheel, and bearing cooling system for cooling the bearings supporting the flywheel. For smaller units, the bearing cooling system is effective to enable a flywheel with a moment of inertia less than 40,000 lb in2 to be accelerated at a rate of 5 rpm/s or greater. For larger units, the bearing cooling system is effective to enable a flywheel with a moment of inertia greater than 40,000 lb in2 to be accelerated at a rate of 2.5 rpm/s or greater.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods for efficiently monitoring and following up on delivered messages for which a user expects and/or requires a reply. The disclosed functionality provides a fully automated, personalized, easy and efficient way to identify and manage outgoing mail messages that require reply by marking outbound messages as RSVP messages, which are those messages determined to require a reply. Such functionality is based on the ability of the disclosed framework to distinguish between a “satisfactory response” (i.e., a response that includes the required information) and a response that is not.

Abstract: Aircraft capable of vertical takeoff and landing, hovering, and efficient forward flight are described. An aircraft includes two side mounted tiltable proprotors and a central rotor disposed above the proprotors. The proprotors are tiltable between at least a horizontal position for forward flight and a vertical position for vertical or hovering flight. The central rotor may be powered for vertical and transitional flight modes and may turn by free autorotation during forward flight. The proprotors may be differentially tilted during vertical or hovering flight to counter torque effects of the central rotor. The central rotor may be foldable and/or easily detachable from the aircraft to facilitate storage and transportation. Left and right proprotors may provide both forward thrust and attitude control. Control inputs to left and right proprotors may be connected directly to an autopilot creating closed loop actuation using motor RPM feedback.

Abstract: A content delivery network (CDN) includes UE gateways, a service switch (SS) mesh network, and server gateways. The CDN nodes maintain cache lists of mappings identifying corresponding upstream system nodes for content items available at content servers connected to the server gateways. When a CDN node receives an upstream service instance request for a specific content item by a corresponding UE connected to a UE gateway, upon determining that a mapping for the specific content item is in its cache list, the CDN node forwards the upstream service instance request to the corresponding upstream system node as part of a process of defining a downstream data path for the specific content item from the corresponding content server to the corresponding UE. The CDN enables service-level content delivery at lower levels of latency than conventional DNS-based systems.

The sections cover parts of the geographical area. The map sharder searches, for each of the sections, for semantic objects that are located at least partly in a section and stores found objects in a shard data entry of the shard data.
