  • Patent number: 11436522
    Abstract: An indication of a plurality of different entities in a social networking service is received, including at least two entities having a different entity type. A plurality of user profiles in the social networking service is accessed. A first machine-learned model is used to learn embeddings for the plurality of different entities in a d-dimensional space. A second machine-learned model is used to learn an embedding for each of one or more query terms that are not contained in the indication of the plurality of different entities in the social networking service, using the embeddings for the plurality of different entities learned using the first machine-learned model, the second-machine learned model being a deep structured semantic model (DSSM). A similarity score between a query term and an entity is calculated by computing distance between the embedding for the query term and the embedding for the entity in the d-dimensional space.

  • Patent number: 11435005
    Abstract: An apparatus for actuating an end-member is disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing, a spring within the housing, and a spring plate forming a restriction for the spring within the housing. A brake member is associated with the spring plate for retaining the spring plate in one or more positions. A drive rod is associated with a motor to enable a first movement of the drive rod and to enable a second movement of spring plate. The first movement or the second movement enables the actuating of the end-member in one or more different positions for the end-member. The brake member may be engaged or disengaged to control or decouple spring compression forces in the actuator when the spring is compressed.

  • Patent number: 11438931
    Abstract: A wireless device receives radio resource control message(s) from a base station indicating random access resources of an uplink bandwidth part of a cell, that comprise two-step random access resources and four-step random access resources. Determining that the two-step random access resources comprise contention-free two-step random access resources, the wireless device selects from among a two-step random access type and a four-step random access type, the two-step random access type. Based on the two-step random access type, a preamble is transmitted to the base station using the two-step random access resources.

  • Patent number: 11434592
    Abstract: The length of a sewing machine stitch is adjustable by varying the effective length of a first bar of a multi-bar linkage operably secured to a feed dog of the sewing machine. The effective length of the first bar is defined between an anchor point and a pivot point, with the pivot point being secured to a slider configured for movement along the length of the first bar. The slider comprises a pinion gear configured to engage a gear rack of the first bar, such that rotation of the pinion gear causes movement of the slider and the pivot point relative to the anchor point. Moreover, to accommodate the adjustable stitch length, the sewing machine additionally comprises an adjustable looper thread eyelet configured to adjust the length of the looper thread path to accommodate increased tension or slack in the looper thread due to the changed stitch length.

  • Patent number: 11436232
    Abstract: A method for execution by a node of a computing device includes determining a plurality of queries for concurrent execution. A plurality of sets of segments required to execute the plurality of queries is determined, and a set of virtual segments in the plurality of sets of segments is determined. A subset of the set of virtual segments is be determined by identifying ones of the set of virtual segments that are required to execute multiple ones of plurality of queries. A locally rebuilt set of rows for each of the set of virtual segments is generated by utilizing a recovery scheme. For each one of the set of virtual segments included in the subset, in response to generating the locally rebuilt set of rows, concurrent partial execution of corresponding multiple ones of the plurality of queries is facilitated.

  • Patent number: 11436104
    Abstract: A set of restore jobs are created to restore a backup. The backup may be maintained across a set of storage devices connected to a backup server. The set of storage devices have different levels of performance and each restore job is responsible for restoring from a respective storage device. Information describing arrangements of processors and memory units is reviewed to create a set of heterogeneous domains, each domain including a processor and memory unit. Performance characteristics, including latency and bandwidth measurements, of the heterogeneous domains are examined. The heterogeneous domains are ranked based on their performance characteristics. The restore jobs are assigned to the heterogeneous domains by successively matching a restore job associated with a storage device having a lowest level of performance relative to other unmatched storage devices with a heterogeneous domain having a highest level of performance relative to other unmatched heterogeneous domains.

  • Patent number: 11438960
    Abstract: A wireless device receives DRX configuration parameters comprising a first parameter indicating a first value of a downlink DRX retransmission timer. In response to receiving a first TB, the wireless device may start the downlink DRX retransmission timer with the first value. The wireless device may switch a downlink control channel monitoring periodicity from a first monitoring periodicity to a second monitoring periodicity based on receiving first control information. In response to receiving a second TB and based on the switching the downlink control channel monitoring periodicity, the wireless device may start the downlink DRX retransmission timer with a second value. The wireless device may receive, while the downlink DRX retransmission timer is running, a downlink control information comprising a downlink assignment for retransmission of the second TB.
