Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein can facilitate computing on transient resources. An exemplary computing device may use a task scheduler to access information of a computational task and instability information of a transient resource. Moreover, the task scheduler can schedule the computational task to use the transient resource based at least in part on the rate of data size reduction of the computational task. Further, a checkpointing scheduler in the exemplary computing device can determine a checkpointing plan for the computational task based at least in part on a recomputation cost associated with the instability information of the transient resource. Resultantly, the overall utilization rate of computing resources is improved by effectively utilizing transient resources.

Abstract: An agricultural vehicle header includes a frame supporting components of the agricultural vehicle header. A reel is mounted to the frame such that a weight of the reel produces a bending moment on the frame in a first direction that can cause the header to droop toward a ground surface. A gauge wheel is mounted to the frame such that a normal force, which is produced by the gauge wheel on the ground surface, is transmitted to the frame to cause a bending moment on the frame in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction in order to either limit or prevent drooping of the header toward the ground surface.

Abstract: A consent receipt management system may, for example, be configured to track data on behalf of an entity that collects and/or processes persona data related to: (1) who consented to the processing or collection of personal data; (2) when the consent was given (e.g., a date and time); (3) what information was provided to the consenter at the time of consent (e.g., a privacy policy, what personal data would be collected following the provision of the consent, for what purpose that personal data would be collected, etc.); (4) how consent was received (e.g., one or more copies of a data capture form, webform, etc. via which consent was provided by the consenter); (5) when consent was withdrawn (e.g., a date and time of consent withdrawal if the consenter withdraws consent); and/or (6) any other suitable data related to receipt or withdrawal of consent.

Abstract: Presented is a unique lighted flea comb suitable for all coat types and is specifically designed to extract fleas from a pet's fur even when the lighting condition is not optimal or during the absence of light. This feature allows a pet owner or a comb user to get a clear view of fleas or like parasites, and allow the comb user to easily remove them with the multi row and tightly spaced bristles of the comb. The proposed lighted flea comb is also built with a comfortable ergonomic handle with a groove for user's finger and curved body for superior control.

Abstract: In particular embodiments, a consent conversion optimization system is configured to test two or more test consent interfaces against one another to determine which of the two or more consent interfaces results in a higher conversion percentage (e.g., to determine which of the two or more interfaces lead to a higher number of end users and/or data subjects providing a requested level of consent for the creation, storage and use or cookies by a particular website). The system may, for example, analyze end user interaction with each particular test consent interface to determine which of the two or more user interfaces: (1) result in a higher incidence of a desired level of provided consent; (2) are easier to use by the end users and/or data subjects (e.g., take less time to complete, require a fewer number of clicks, etc.); (3) etc.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method receives a set of frames from a video at a first classifier. The first classifier classifies the set of frames with classification scores that indicate a confidence that a frame contains end credit content using the first classifier using a first model that classifies content from the set of frames. A second classifier then refines the classification scores from neighboring frames in the set of frames using a second classifier using a second model that classifies classification scores from the first classifier. A boundary point is selected between a frame in the set of frames considered not including end credit content and a frame in the set of frames including end credit content based on the refined classification scores.

Abstract: A computer-implemented input-method editor process includes receiving a request from a user for an application-independent input method editor having written and spoken input capabilities, identifying that the user is about to provide spoken input to the application-independent input method editor, and receiving a spoken input from the user. The spoken input corresponds to input to an application and is converted to text that represents the spoken input. The text is provided as input to the application.

Abstract: A system and method for optimizing callback times to increase the success rate of callbacks while managing overflow of calls to alternate sites when callbacks are unsuccessful. The system and method use a pacing algorithm to determine when callbacks are likely to be successful from a preferred contact site, routing to alternate callback sites when callbacks are unsuccessful, and preferences for re-routing back to the preferred site when a callback is successful and the agent with whom the caller has interacted previously is available.

Abstract: A method for controlling the release of an as-rendered configuration of a digital work, comprising the steps of presenting said digital work as a composite of a plurality of layers comprising at least a first layer and a second layer; providing a rendering protocol interface which is adapted for defining said as-rendered configuration of the digital work by specifying a first rendering status of said first layer and a second rendering status of said second layer; providing a rendering protocol facility adapted for storing and controlling the release of said first and second rendering status of said first and second layers respectively in accordance with said as-rendered configuration; restricting unauthorized access to the rendering protocol interface, thereby preventing unauthorized modification of said as-rendered configuration; and releasing said digital work with said as-rendered configuration. The method has application in selling books, movies, software, music and other information products.

Abstract: A method is described for utilizing NIL materials with switchable mechanical properties. The method comprises applying an imprint mask to a nano-imprint lithography (NIL) material layer. The NIL material layer is comprised of a NIL material with a modulus level below a flexibility threshold. The NIL material layer has an internal property, that when changed, causes a change in the modulus level of the NIL material. The method further comprises detaching the imprinted NIL material layer from the imprint mask, with the low modulus level of the NIL material causing a shape of the imprinted NIL material layer to remain unchanged after detachment. A modulus level of the NIL material is increased by changing an internal property of the NIL material, with the modulus level increased beyond a strength threshold to create a first imprint layer that has a structure that remains unaffected by a subsequent process.

The present disclosure is also directed to an interference mechanism of the shroud which may minimize or eliminate accidental escape of the hanger from a supporting structure.

Abstract: Techniques and architectures may be used to provide an environment for a speech-based intelligent user assistant (IUA) having a flexible operating system that is based, at least in part, on the context of interaction of a user of a computing system with the computing system. Such a flexible operating system may allow for non-obtrusive communication of the IUA with the user. Thus, for example, a user may communicate with the IUA without interrupting their other activities on the computer, such as playing a video game.
