Abstract: A portable memory device includes an interface enabling communications between the portable memory device and an external device; a group of components arranged to provide a certain non-volatile electronic data storage when coupled to the interface. The coupling is performed based on one or more control signals, or on one or more configurations of one or more physical control elements that are transitionable by hand to different configurations, or both. When the group of components and the interface are coupled, the certain non-volatile electronic data storage is provided for use by an external device through the interface; when the group of components and the interface is not coupled or are decoupled, the certain non-volatile electronic data storage is not provided and instead another non-volatile electronic data storage may be provided or none at all. The portable memory device preferably is a flash memory apparatus and may encompass multiple flash-memory drives.

The first channel defines a first conductor path extending in a first direction, and the second channel defines a second conductor path extending in a second direction that is different from the first direction. The set screw is configured to selectively engage the bonding lug and retain a bonding conductor within at least one of the first channel or the second channel.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed that enable processing of audio data to generate one or more refined versions of audio data, where each of the refined versions of audio data isolate one or more utterances of a single respective human speaker. Various implementations generate a refined version of audio data that isolates utterance(s) of a single human speaker by processing a spectrogram representation of the audio data (generated by processing the audio data with a frequency transformation) using a mask generated by processing the spectrogram of the audio data and a speaker embedding for the single human speaker using a trained voice filter model. Output generated over the trained voice filter model is processed using an inverse of the frequency transformation to generate the refined audio data.

Abstract: The disclosure provides for a method for determining a pullover spot for a vehicle. The method includes using a computing device to detect information related to a system of the vehicle or an environment surrounding the vehicle using a sensor of a vehicle and determine a local failure of the vehicle based on the information. The computing device may then be used to determine that the vehicle should pullover before completing a current trip related to transporting a passenger or good by comparing vehicle requirements for the trip with the local failure and determine a pullover spot by identifying a first area for the vehicle to park in part based on a second area being available for a second vehicle to pick up the passenger or good. The computing device may operate the vehicle to the pullover spot and transmit a request for a second vehicle.

Abstract: A control circuit obtains and utilizes a first set of rules that determines a distance, as a function of a modified Jaccard distance, between each of a number of predetermined classes. The control circuit utilizes that information to generate groups of the predefined classes by evaluating the distance between each of the predetermined classes. First probabilities for each of the additional text entries regarding membership in each of the groups so generated is calculated along with second probabilities regarding membership in a particular one of the predefined classes in its corresponding group. A resultant probability is then calculated using the first and second probabilities that a given additional text entry belongs to a particular one of the predefined classes. The control circuit then utilizes that resultant probability information to automatically classify additional text entries by associating the given additional text entry to a particular one of the predefined classes.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums for video encoding/decoding. In a method, prediction information for a current block is decoded. The current block is in a current picture that is a part of a coded video sequence. The prediction information indicates a first intra prediction mode and a secondary transform index for the current block. A secondary transform core is determined based on the first intra prediction mode and the secondary transform index. A primary transform coefficient block is generated based on the secondary transform core and a first transform coefficient block of the current block. The first transform coefficient block is de-quantized from the prediction information. A size of the first transform coefficient block is less than a size of the secondary transform core. The current block is reconstructed based on the primary transform coefficient block.
