Abstract: Some embodiments automatically and proactively adjust network device configuration settings during network operation, based on correlations between device performance and device configuration. Correlations are computed using statistics routines or computed by a machine learning module. Some embodiments share adjusted configuration values via a cache, and some persist adjusted values through an application restart. In some embodiments, the cache is hierarchical and different kinds of reconfiguration data are shared at different levels. In some embodiments, the configuration value is shared only between application instances that have sufficiently similar contexts. Some embodiments detect a correlation loss and fall back to a known good configuration setting or a default configuration setting. Some embodiments optimize network internode communications by making dynamic adjustments which are not available from static configuration settings or from static configuration rules.

Abstract: The floor machine provides an attachment system capable of securing a handle to the floor machine at multiple locations. A handle storing a power source, such as batteries, attaches to the housing to power the motor. A housing of the floor machine provides two attachment bodies located on the exterior of two different walls of the housing. By securing the handle to the different attachment points, the user can configure the footprint of the floor machine to increase the user's access to narrower and/or smaller confined areas. The power source electrically connects to the motor at a powering location separate from the attachment location of the handle to the housing. The distinct attachment location and powering locations enables different attachments of the handle to the housing.

Abstract: Examples of prostheses are provided having an internal branch. A tubular graft body of the prosthesis defines a main lumen extending between an inflow end and an outflow end of the graft body. A stent structure is coupled along the graft body. A trough is at least partially defined by a trough wall extending into the main lumen from a sidewall of the graft body. A side branch defines a branch lumen and extends from the trough within the main lumen towards one of the inflow or outflow ends of the graft body. A branch lumen facing surface of the trough wall is a continuous surface with an outer surface of the sidewall of the graft body. A boundary of the trough may be configured to provide a smooth transition surface between the trough and the sidewall.

Abstract: A system and method of planar motion vector derivation which, in some embodiments can employ an unequal weighted combination of adjacent motion vectors. In some embodiments, motion vector information associated with a bottom right pixel or block adjacent to a current coding unit can be derived from motion information associated with a top row or top neighboring row of a current coding unit and motion information associated with a left column or left neighboring column of a current coding unit. Weighted or non-weighted combinations of such values can be combined in a planar mode prediction model to derive associated motion information for bottom and/or right adjacent pixels or blocks.

Abstract: During a communication session, a virtual assistant prompts a user for information pertaining to one or more products, and identifies relevant products based on data collected from the user. These one or more products are presented to the user, and a level of intent or urgency of the user to purchase the one or more products is determined based on determining a plurality of tone scores corresponding to a plurality of tone types for each of the words, phrases, or sentences of the language input received from the user via a user interface. A network of producers is scanned and a live producer offering the identified products is identified and presented to the user. The virtual assistant determines whether or not to transfer the user to the identified live producer based on application of transfer criteria to the evaluated level of intent or urgency of the user.

Abstract: Implementations relate to processing media content, and/or associated metadata, to classify the media content into a first category, of a plurality of predefined categories. Versions of those implementations further relate to extracting target content from the media content; generating, based on the extracted target content, an action that corresponds to an application; and generating, based on the generated action, a selectable suggestion including a textual portion that describes the action. Some of those versions further relate to causing the selectable suggestion to be displayed at a display of a client device, along with rendering of the media content. The selectable suggestion, when selected, causes the application to perform the action. The target content can be extracted based on the first category and can be extracted based on the first category in response to the media content being classified into the first category.
