Abstract: An approach for gathering, encoding and transmitting histogram data mitigates the need for transmission resources by compressing the gathered data in a lossless, stateless manner for transmission. A generally sparse data set benefits from an encoding mechanism based on a bit plane arrangement of the raw data. The approach organizes bit planes in a sequential manner, and then encodes values based on intervals of non-zero bit positions. By traversing a sequential string based on the bit plane, each “run” of zeroes tends to produce relatively small values, easing encoding burdens, but also accommodated larger values when necessary. A selective encoding technique invokes different encoding processes based on the magnitude of the interval, to allow use of an encoding that stores each respective value in the fewest bits. Different encoding techniques are applied based on ranges of the interval magnitude, or zero run.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for determining customer adoption based on monitored data, including receiving product usage parameters from a product data store on the computer network, each product usage parameter being determined based on tracking usage of the product by the customer over a predetermined time period, storing a customer profile for the customer comprising customer parameters, the customer parameters being determined based on customer information stored in a customer database on the computer network, receiving service parameters from a customer support data store on the computer network, each service parameter being determined based on tracking support services provided to the customer for the product over the predetermined time period, and generating a product adoption score by applying a machine learning model to the product usage parameters and the customer profile to generate a usage-based adoption score and adjusting the usage-based adoption score based on the service par

Abstract: To identify driving event sounds during navigation, a client device in a vehicle provides a set of navigation directions for traversing from a starting location to a destination location along a route. During navigation to the destination location, the client device identifies audio that includes a driving event sound from within the vehicle or an area surrounding the vehicle. In response to determining that the audio includes the driving event sound, the client device determines whether the driving event sound is artificial. In response to determining that the driving event sound is artificial, the client device presents a notification to the driver indicating that the driving event sound is artificial or masks the driving event sound to prevent the driver from hearing the driving event sound.

Abstract: A method for calibrating the color space on multiple displays in a computing system includes determining a native color space for each of multiple displays; dynamically selecting a target color space to implement on each of the multiple displays based at least in part on the determined native color space of each one of the multiple displays; and instructing one of the multiple displays to map the associated native color space to the target color space.

Abstract: A thermal management system and process for use in a wireless access point antenna housing. The access point typically includes two or more stacked antenna housings or bays. Each bay includes an upper end, a lower end spaced from the upper end, and at least one sidewall surface extending between the upper end the lower end to define an enclosed interior area of the bay. Each bay typically includes a plurality of antennas. In an arrangement, the upper end, lower end and a one or more partitions between the upper and lower ends in conjunction with one or more sidewall surfaces form the antenna bays. In an arrangement, divider panels form the partitions and/or the upper and lower ends. Each partition panel includes one or more airflow channels that provide an air inlet and/or outlet for at least one adjacent antenna bay.

Abstract: A computer program predictor is described which has a processor configured to access a program attribute predictor; and a memory storing a search component configured to search a space of possible programs, to find a program which, given an input data instance and an output data instance, will compute the output data instance from the input data instance, the search being guided by attributes predicted by the attribute predictor given the input data instance and the output data instance.

Abstract: A direct mate orthogonal connector for a high density of high speed signals. The connector may include right angle leadframe assemblies with signal conductive elements and ground shields held by a leadframe housing. High frequency performance may be achieved with members on the leadframe that transfer force between a connector housing, holding the leadframe assemblies, and a portion of the leadframe housing holding the signal conductive elements and the shields near their mounting ends. Core members may be inserted into the housing and mating ends of the conductive elements of ground shields may be adjacent the core members, enabling electrical and mechanical performance of the mating interface to be defined by the core members. The core members may incorporate insulative and lossy features that may be complex to form as part of the connector housing but may be readily formed as part of a separate core member.

Abstract: A camera system may automatically identify high frequency motion regions in a field of view of the camera system. Analysis of motion events detected at different regions of a scene in the field of view, may be performed. Similar events frequently occurring at a certain region may be recorded/accumulated and compared to a threshold. Regions with high frequency activity may be determined and a user may be notified. If the user is not interested in events within the high activity regions, the regions may be ignored and notifications to the user may cease. The camera system may determine specific actions/events occurring in a region, such as a person approaching or leaving a home.

Abstract: A system for sensing the angular position of a caster wheel includes a sensor mounted on a bearing which supports a shaft aligned with the rotational axis of the caster. A target on the shaft is detected by the sensor which generates signals indicative of the presence or absence of the target. The position of the target is coordinated with the position of the caster wheel such that the signals are indicative of the angular position of the caster wheel. The target may be a groove extending partially around the shaft and a remaining ungrooved portion of the shaft.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically assessing authorship of written work and progress toward successful completion of written tasks, such as academic or professional writing assignments are provided. Such systems and methods can include tracking research and writing tasks performed within a research application environment over time in connection creating an assignment document for a user account, extracting evaluation data from the research and writing tasks, and executing an assignment evaluation engine to generate a score for the assignment document based on the evaluation data.

Abstract: A second access node sends, to a first access node, at least one message comprising configuration parameters of a first cell of a third access node, wherein the third access node is a child node associated with the second access node, and communicates with the second access node via at least one backhaul link. The configuration parameters comprise an identifier indicating the first cell, and backhaul information of the at least one backhaul link. The second access node receives, from the first access node, a message requesting a handover of the wireless device to the first cell.
