Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, computer media, and apparatuses for providing resource tracking, such as in a data center environment. A control and monitoring node receives updates indicating instantiation of resources in the computing system network. The control and monitoring node determines that there are duplicate resources in the network, and then determines which of the duplicate resources to provide connectivity to. The control and monitoring node provides network configuration updates to various networking resources in the network to provide network connectivity to the one of the duplicate resources in the network.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to assessing operation of a camera. In one instance, a volume of space corresponding to a first vehicle in an environment of a second vehicle may be identified using sensor data generated by a LIDAR system of the second vehicle. An image captured by a camera of the second vehicle may be identified. The camera may have an overlapping field of view of the LIDAR system at a time when the sensor data was generated. An area of the image corresponding to the volume of space may be identified and processed in order to identify a vehicle light. The operation of the camera may be assessed based on the processing.

The multiphase controller provides an adjustment signal representative of said digital signal divided by a corresponding output current for each phase controller, and said adjustment signal adjusts a corresponding error voltage.

Abstract: Methods and systems of correcting operation of multiple modules are described. The methods include generating a first dual-tone signal in a first module and transmitting the first dual-tone signal to a second module. A second dual-tone signal is generated in the second module and transmitted to the first module. The first module determines a first phase of the received second dual-tone signal and the second module determines a second phase of the received first dual-tone signal. Operation of one or both of the first and second modules is corrected based on the determined first phase and the determined second phase.

Abstract: Application of axial seed magnetic fields in the range 20-100 T that compress to greater than 10,000 T (100 MG) under typical NIF implosion conditions may significantly relax the conditions required for ignition and propagating burn in NIF ignition targets that are degraded by hydrodynamic instabilities. Such magnetic fields can: (a) permit the recovery of ignition, or at least significant alpha particle heating, in submarginal NIF targets that would otherwise fail because of adverse hydrodynamic instability growth, (b) permit the attainment of ignition in conventional cryogenic layered solid-DT targets redesigned to operate under reduced drive conditions, (c) permit the attainment of volumetric ignition in simpler, room-temperature single-shell DT gas capsules, and (d) ameliorate adverse hohlraum plasma conditions during laser drive and capsule compression. In general, an applied magnetic field should always improve the ignition condition for any NIF ignition target design.

Abstract: A data analyzer engine can be configured to receive feedback indicating different content currently consumed by subscribers in a cable network environment. The data analyzer engine analyzes the feedback to identify most popular consumed content amongst the different content and produces a content guide to include multiple selectable channels from which content is available for retrieval over a shared communication link in the cable network environment. The content guide can include one or more selectable viewing options to view a rendition of content being identified as more or most popular. Each of one or more playback devices or other suitable resources retrieves and initiates display of the content guide on a display screen. Accordingly, a subscriber can view different available content options as well as an identification of content that is currently the most popular consumed content amongst viewers.

Abstract: Provided is a pneumatic tire comprising a tread, sidewalls, a belt, and dimpled patterns, wherein each dimpled pattern is adapted to modify air flow and temperature. The tread defines the outward surface of the tire and extends in a radial direction, a circumferential direction, and a lateral direction. Each sidewall extends radially inwardly along a curved path from the tread to a bead and defines a lateral surface having maximum lateral extent. The belt extends under the tread. Each dimpled pattern is a surface treatment etched from a sidewall maximum lateral extent over a belt edge and onto the tread. Each dimpled pattern surface treatment modifies air flow at 180 mph over the tire to turbulent flow, and reduces steady state operating temperatures of the sidewalls.

Abstract: An LED package creates a narrow beam in a very compact package without use of a lens. A plastic is molded around a metal lead frame (12, 14) to form a molded cup (26), where the cup has parabolic walls extending from a bottom area of the cup to a top thereof. The lead frame forms a first set of electrodes exposed at the bottom area of the cup for electrically contacting a set of LED die electrodes (18, 20). The lead frame also forms a second set of electrodes outside of the cup for connection to a power supply. A reflective metal (28) is then deposited on the curved walls of the cup. An LED die (16) is mounted at the bottom area of the cup and electrically connected to the first set of electrodes. The cup is then partially filled with an encapsulant (64) containing a phosphor (66).
