Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed to identify the operations/processes performed by one or more virtual machines. In one example method of operation, the system may perform identifying processes currently operating in an operating system and recording process information corresponding to each of the processes in a memory. The method may also include determining a priority for each of the processes currently operating in the operating system and incrementing a current priority of at least one of the processes.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for transition-coded media, measuring engagement of transition-coded media, and distribution of components of transition-coded media. For instance, the method may include: obtaining a media file; determining whether the media file includes transition-coded media; in response to determining the media file includes the transition-coded media, setting up a dynamic media environment; detecting whether a user is interacting with the transition-coded media; and in response to detecting the user is interacting with the transition-coded media, executing the transition-coded media with the dynamic media environment.

Abstract: A rechargeable battery pack system includes a retention cage, a reserve power module, and a rechargeable battery pack. The retention cage is removably attachable over a battery compartment of a game controller. The reserve power module has first electrical contacts that contact battery contacts of the game controller for providing electrical power from the reserve power module to the game controller when the reserve power module is in the retention cage and the retention cage is attached to the game controller. The rechargeable battery pack has electrical contacts to contact second electrical contacts of the reserve power module for providing electrical power to the reserve power module and to the game controller, through the reserve power module. The reserve power module can uninterruptedly power the game controller when the depleted rechargeable battery pack is removed from the retention cage to be replaced by a charged rechargeable battery pack.

Abstract: Wireless communications may comprise transmissions using a beam. A message may comprise one or more indications of a beam and/or type(s) of signals for downlink and/or uplink transmission using the beam. An acknowledgement may be used to indicate reception of the one or more indications and/or a time offset may be used for applying the beam for the downlink and/or uplink transmission.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed including a mobile device configured for initiating a communication session with a transceiver interface of a node that comprises a network interface. The node may be queried via the communication session for a status report associated with an error, and an instruction may be communicated to the node via the communication session instructing the node to perform an operation. Communication may be established with the wireless access point via the wireless network after communication of the instruction. The transceiver interface may be configured to communicate via a second network to address issues in the wide area network.

Abstract: Developers can configure custom acoustic models by providing audio files with custom recordings. The custom acoustic model is trained by tuning a baseline model using the audio files. Audio files may contain custom noise to apply to clean speech for training. The custom acoustic model is provided as an alternative to a standard acoustic model. Device developers can select an acoustic model by a user interface. Speech recognition is performed on speech audio using one or more acoustic models. The result can be provided to developers through the user interface, and an error rate can be computed and also provided.

Abstract: A carriage includes an elongated body having a first end and an opposing second end and a flange coupled to the first end of the elongated body. The flange includes a first portion having a first face and an opposing second face. The first portion defines a first aperture having a first diameter. The first portion includes (i) at least two first retainers protruding outward from the first face and extending at least partially over the first aperture and (ii) at least two second retainers protruding outward from the opposing second face and extending at least partially over the first aperture. The first retainers and the second retainers define a second diameter that is less than the first diameter. The first aperture, the first retainers, and the second retainers are configured to accommodate ball bearings having diameters between about 4.6 mm and about 5.4 mm.

Abstract: The new mango tree variety ‘Kankun’ is characterized by having medium-size, oblong-ovoid, Yellow-Orange fruit with a long shelf life and an early harvest.
