Abstract: Systems and methods for ranking user interface elements using explainability vectors. The system receives training data for a ranking machine learning model. The training data comprises values for a first set of features. The system trains the ranking machine learning model using the training data. The system processes the ranking model to extract an explainability vector. Based on the explainability vector, the system processes the first set of features to generate a second set of features. The system processes the second set of features and the output of the predictive machine learning model to generate an explanative factor and trains a ranking model using the explanative factor and a third set of features. The system receives as output from the ranking model a vector indicating display positions and rankings of user interface elements.

Abstract: An illumination system and method are disclosed for maintaining a consistent change in illumination value among a group of illumination devices whenever a change command is manually sent from a keypad to those illumination devices. The consistent change results from maintaining a common start illumination value among not only the group, but also the keypad which controls the group. From the start illumination value, the keypad can then compute an end illumination value depending upon the amount of time that an increase or decrease in illumination value button is depressed and held. Since the change command can arrive at different illumination devices within the group depending upon where each illumination device is geographically located, a masking time is reserved after the button is released so that enough time is allocated for each of the illumination devices within that group to arrive at a common end illumination value.

The level shifter is also configured to send the output control signal to the switch driver. The controller is configured to detect a common mode transient at a node coupled to the switch driver. The pulse generator is further configured to increase a pulse width of the set control signal when the controller detects the common mode transient.

Abstract: A universal opt-in/opt-out client enables a user to connect to the APIs for various different sites which have the user's data. The universal client and orchestrates opting out on any of the sites which the user selects and enables the user to granularly select partial opt-ins or opt-outs where the user may wish to enable some uses of data and access to data, but would also like to restrict others. When a user is calibrating their privacy and data settings, a company or site may provide reasons and incentives for the user to enable access to certain data. This enables users to have simultaneous global control over their personal data while enabling the user to receive compensation for the use of their personal data, and enabling companies to have access to better data.
