Abstract: In general, the present disclosure is directed to a time of flight (ToF) sensor arrangement that may be utilized by a robot (e.g., a robot vacuum) to identify and detect objects in a surrounding environment for mapping and localization purposes. In an embodiment, a robot is disclosed that includes a plurality of ToF sensors disposed about a housing of the robot. Two or more ToF sensors may be angled/aligned to establish overlapping field of views to form redundant detection regions around the robot. Objects that appear therein may then be detected by the robot and utilized to positively identify, e.g., with a high degree of confidence, the presence of the object. The identified objects may then be utilized as data points by the robot to build/update a map. The identified objects may also be utilized during pose routines that allow the robot to orient itself within the map.

Abstract: A cloud resource management system trains, through ensemble learning, multiple time series forecasting models to forecast a future idle time of a virtual machine operating on a cloud computing service. The models are trained on historical usage and metric data of the virtual machine. The metric data includes CPU usage, disk usage and network usage. A select one of the models having the best accuracy for a target virtual machine is used in a production run to predict when the virtual machine will be idle. At this time, the virtual machine may be automatically shutdown in order to reduce the expense associated with the continued operation of the virtual machine.

Abstract: In a general aspect, a hybrid memory system with cache management is disclosed. In some aspects, a memory module includes volatile memory, non-volatile memory, and an internal cache. The internal cache is communicably coupled with the volatile memory and the non-volatile memory. Whether to execute a memory access request is determined by operation of the memory module. In response to the inability of the memory access request to be executed, a data transferring process is performed to copy data between the volatile memory and the non-volatile memory via the internal cache.
Abstract: Described herein are technologies related to correcting image degradations in images. An image is received, and values for features that are usable to correct for image degradation associated with blur, noise, and low light conditions are generated by separate encoders based upon the received image. A fusion network learned by way of network architecture search fuses these values, and the fused values are employed to generate an improved image, such that the image degradations associated with blur, noise, and low light conditions are simultaneously corrected.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a biobased metal-working fluid (MWF) composition and method for making same, and more particularly metal-working fluid with biobased lubricants with improved emulsion stability. At least 50 wt. % of the base oil component in the MWF concentrate is a plant-derived liquid decarboxylated rosin acid oil (“DCR”). The DCR comprises 50 to 100 wt. % of tricyclic compounds having 18-20 carbon atoms, one or more C?C groups, and m/z (mass/charge) value of 220-280; an oxygen content of <5%; a density of 0.9 to 1.0 g/cm3 at 20° C.; and an acid value of <10 mg KOH/g. The resulting MWF is characterized as having comparable if not better performance compared to a MWF containing only mineral oil (e.g., Group I or Group II).
