Abstract: A gun tube for a downhole perforating gun assembly includes a body having a cavity and one or more weights in the cavity. Gravity acts on the weights, which causes the tube body to rotate around its longitudinal axis so the weights are adjacent the lower part of the wellbore in which the gun assembly is positioned when oriented horizontally. This position shape charges in the gun tube in a desired position prior to the shape charges being fired. The gun tube may also include one or more end connectors with electrical contacts having a first, extended position, and a second, contracted position, and/or end connectors that can be assembled by hand without the use of tools.

Abstract: Hybrid tomato variety ‘H2128’ is described. The tomato variety is a ground-culture hybrid processing tomato variety suitable for machine harvest and is adaptable to the climactic conditions of regions such as California, USA, Italy, and Spain. It is a main season variety with resistance to Fusarium wilt races 1, 2, and 3, bacterial speck race 0, root knot nematode, tomato spotted wilt virus, early blight, and late blight. The elongated-pear shape in combination with strong internal and external color makes it particularly valuable for whole-pack tomato products, where varieties with good color and resistance to Fusarium wilt race 3 are needed.

Abstract: A valve positioner for use on a process control valve or “valve assembly.” The process control valve may include a pneumatic actuator and a valve having a closure member coupled with the pneumatic actuator and moveable relative to a seat. The valve positioner may couple to the pneumatic actuator to provide a pneumatic signal to set a position of the closure member relative to the seat. An accelerometer may couple with the valve positioner. The accelerometer may generate data in response to orientation of the valve positioner. In one implementation, the configurations can use this data to ensure proper visualization of data on a display. The data also permits the device to properly manage operating modes, like tight shut-off or fully-opened mode, that may prevail due to orientation issues that cause defects in a measured position for a closure member that regulates flow of material through the valve assembly.

Abstract: Devices including a wireless receiver, e.g., indoor CBSDs, in a local network, e.g. a campus network, monitor for wireless signals conveying synchronization information. Different devices in the local area network may detect wireless signals conveying synchronization information from one or more different sources. A device detecting a source of synchronization information generates and sends a timing signal accuracy report to a switch, e.g. an intelligent IDF switch, included in the local network. The switch receives multiple timing signal accuracy reports, selects a “best” sync source and designates the particular device, e.g., particular CBSD, which reported the best sync source, to be the current master timing device for the local network. The switch communicates the address, e.g., IP address, of the selected master to the devices within the local network.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a speed planning system receives speed limit information for an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV), where the speed limit information includes a change in road speed limit for a current road of the ADV. The system determines a tapered speed limit corresponding to the current road based on the speed limit information, where the tapered speed limit correspond to a gradual speed reduction from a first road speed limit to a second road speed limit. The system determines a cost function based on the tapered speed limit and the first and second road speed limits. The system generates a number of trajectory candidates based on the cost function. The system selects a trajectory based on the trajectory candidates to control the ADV using the selected trajectory.

Abstract: An integrated GW (I-GW) can be utilized to facilitate communications with Internet of things (IoT) devices that operate without Internet protocol (IP) addresses, based on assigned preferences and/or priority. In one aspect, the I-GW can efficiently deliver existing services for various types of IoT devices (e.g., that support different non-IP protocols) and can create emerging applications across different vertical applications. Further, the I-GW can leverage mobility network elements to authenticate, prioritize connections, and/or enable data orchestration via underlying software defined network (SDN)-enabled capabilities and/or infrastructure services. By utilizing IoT devices that do not have IP stacks, a cost and/or size of the IoT devices can be decreased and battery life can be significantly extended.

By anticipating refueling events, customer wait time for gaining refueling access may be reduced.

Abstract: Use of a NAND array architecture to realize a binary neural network (BNN) allows for matrix multiplication and accumulation to be performed within the memory array. A unit synapse for storing a weight of a BNN is stored in a pair of series connected memory cells. A binary input is applied on a pair of word lines connected to the unit synapse to perform the multiplication of the input with the weight. The results of such multiplications are determined by a sense amplifier, with the results accumulated by a counter. The arrangement extends to ternary inputs to realize a ternary-binary network (TBN) by adding a circuit to detect 0 input values and adjust the accumulated count accordingly. The arrangement further extends to a ternary-ternary network (TTN) by allowing 0 weight values in a unit synapse, maintaining the number of 0 weights in a register, and adjusting the count accordingly.
