Abstract: A search request may define a minimum value and a maximum value for a numerical parameter of the search. A plurality of binary searches may identify a minimum entry and a maximum entry, each binary search comprising selecting a single entry and using at least one analytical model to generate a score for the single entry, wherein the score of the minimum entry corresponds with the minimum value and the score of the maximum entry corresponds with the maximum value. The at least one analytical model may be used to generate a score for each of a set of entries between the minimum entry and the maximum entry while ignoring entries outside of the set of entries between the minimum entry and the maximum entry. Entries responsive to the request may be identified within the scored set of entries.

The clips may establish an electrical grounding connection between the frame of the solar module and the rail.

Abstract: An interleaved switched mode power supply and control method therefor are disclosed. The interleaved switched mode power supply includes a first switched mode power supply; a second switched mode power supply; and a controller. The controller controls the first and second switched mode power supplies so that the controller and the first and second switched mode power supplies form an interleaved switched mode power supply with power factor correction. The controller modulates a switching frequency of each of the first and second switched mode power supplies such that the switching frequency varies based upon ripple current cancellation between the ripple current of the first switched mode power supply and the ripple current of the second switched mode power supply.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and an apparatus including processing circuitry that decodes coded information of a coding block (CB) in a picture from a coded video bitstream. The coded information indicates a width W and a height H of the CB. The processing circuitry partitions the CB into sub-processing units (SPUs) having a width being a minimum one of W and K and a height being a minimum one of H and K. At least one of the width W and the height H is larger than a processing data unit size K. The processing circuitry determines a partitioning structure to partition the SPUs based on the width, the height, and a maximum transform unit (TU) size M. At least one of the width and the height is larger than M. The processing circuitry partitions each of the SPUs into TUs of M×M based on the partitioning structure.

Abstract: One example method includes receiving an input that indicates selection of a cloud storage provider, receiving one or more product selection inputs, each of the product selection inputs indicating selection of a respective data protection product, receiving an input indicating an instance size, assembling the inputs together to define a data protection configuration, and automatically generating a script which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, deploys the data protection configuration in a cloud storage environment of the selected cloud storage provider.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of using video program viewer interaction data that has been loaded to a media measurement database as input to a measurement engine which then calculates Linear, DVR, and VOD asset viewing activity at three levels: (a) Video Program, (b) Video Program Airing, (c) Video Program Airing Segment, where each level provides summary metrics for groupings of Demographic, Geographic, and/or Device Characteristic, and also second-by-second viewing metrics, including counting advertising impressions, within the Demographic, Geographic, Device groupings. System also accounts for reduced value of ad viewing when viewer is using trick plays or when viewer delays viewing recorded content. Together these metrics provide detailed information on customer viewing behavior which can be used to drive business decisions for service providers, advertisers and content producers. Additionally, a viewing histogram analysis is produced.

Abstract: The device capability model (DCM) sharing system disclosed herein includes one or more computer implemented instructions including receiving a request from a device for access to the DCM, generating a request to a token issuing authority to request a device identification token; evaluating the device identification token to determine the device's DCM access level; communicating the device identification token with the device's capability model access level to a DCM repository; receiving the DCM from the DCM repository; and providing the device an access to the DCM.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which are stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to track traffic events and user interface (UI) events in parallel and record a first event of a hybrid test script. The first event may be recorded in a traffic mode to record one or more of the traffic events. The processor may transition from the traffic mode to a UI mode and, responsive to the transition from the traffic mode to the UI mode, may share session data between the traffic events and the UI events. Based on the session data, the processor may record a second event of the hybrid test script in the UI mode.
