  • Patent number: 11429500
    Abstract: In response to failure of a data storage drive, data previously stored on the failed drive is rebuilt on a replacement data storage drive by executing drive rebuild jobs on a first set of processor cores. While the data previously stored on the failed data storage drive is being rebuilt, a second set of processor cores is used to process host I/O (Input/Output) requests. The host I/O requests processed by the second set of processor cores may be a first set of host I/O requests processed during the data rebuild. When a current total number of outstanding host I/O requests exceeds a threshold maximum number of outstanding host I/O requests, at least one processor core in the first set of processor cores may be used to process a second set of host I/O requests while the data previously stored on the failed data storage drive is being rebuilt.

  • Patent number: 11428038
    Abstract: In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, a head unit of a movable barrier operator is provided including a motor for moving a movable barrier and a first circuit board operable to provide power to the motor. The head unit includes a fire-resistant container that contains the first circuit board. This permits the electrical components of the head unit that utilize higher voltage, such as 120 volts, to be provided on the first circuit board and contained in the fire-resistant container. The head unit further includes a second circuit board outside of the fire-resistant container and operably coupled to the first circuit board. Because the second circuit board is outside of the fire-resistant container, the second circuit board may contain electrical components of the head unit that operate at lower voltages, such as at or below 24 volts.

  • Patent number: 11430425
    Abstract: Computer generated speech can be generated for cross-lingual natural language textual data streams by utilizing a universal phoneme set. In a variety of implementations, the natural language textual data stream includes a primary language portion in a primary language and a secondary language portion that is not in the primary language. Phonemes corresponding to the secondary language portion can be determined from a set of phonemes in a universal data set. These phonemes can be mapped back to a set of phonemes for the primary language. Audio data can be generated for these phonemes to pronounce the secondary language portion of the natural language textual data stream utilizing phonemes associated with the primary language.

  • Patent number: 11429272
    Abstract: A multi-factor probabilistic model evaluates user input to determine if the user input was intended for an on-screen user interface control. When user input is received, a probability is computed that the user input was intended for each on-screen user interface control. The user input is then associated with the user interface control that has the highest computed probability. The probability that user input was intended for each user interface control may be computed utilizing a multitude of factors including the probability that the user input is near each user interface control, the probability that the motion of the user input is consistent with the user interface control, the probability that the shape of the user input is consistent with the user interface control, and that the size of the user input is consistent with the user interface control.
