Abstract: A cooling system uses P-traps to address the oil return issues that result from a vertical separation between the compressor and the high side heat exchanger. Generally, the vertical piping that carries the refrigerant from the compressor to the high side heat exchanger includes P-traps installed at various heights to capture oil in the refrigerant and to prevent that oil from flowing back to the compressor. As oil collects in the P-traps, the refrigerant begins to push the oil upwards until the oil reaches the high side heat exchanger. Multiple piping of different sizes may be used depending on a discharge pressure of the compressor. When the discharge pressure is higher, a larger piping may be used direct the oil and refrigerant to the high side heat exchanger.
Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for invalidating, by a target, all data in a first volume. A source may scan a hash to address table for a second volume to be migrated to the first volume. Data in the second volume may be migrated to be stored in the first volume by pushing information from the hash to address table to the target.

Abstract: Ingestible product and medical device containers validate self-administration of the product and/or corresponding use of the device over a schedule. A machine-readable optical code label such as a QR Code is affixed to an interior surface of a container containing the product or device. The container must be open to electronically read the optical code label. The label contains data associated with the product or device is read by a software application installed on a smartphone. The software receives the label-embedded data and a timestamp to validate the patient is self-administering the medication or device consistent with a schedule.
Abstract: Presented are mobile charging stations for recharging electrified vehicles, methods for making/using such mobile charging stations, and parking facilities equipped with such mobile charging stations. A mobile charging station includes a frame with multiple drive wheels and a prime mover operable to drive the wheels to propel the charging station. A hydrogen storage container and fuel cell are mounted to the frame. The fuel cell oxidizes hydrogen received from the storage container to generate electrical current. An electrical coupling mechanism connects the fuel cell to a traction battery pack of an electric-drive vehicle. A resident or remote controller is programmed to receive charge requests to recharge vehicles, and responsively determines path plan data for the mobile charging station. The controller commands the prime mover to propel the mobile charging station from the charger's origin to a charger destination, and enables the fuel cell to transmit electrical current to the vehicle.

Abstract: A method and apparatus include receiving a text input that includes a sequence of text components. Respective temporal durations of the text components are determined using a duration model. A spectrogram frame is generated based on the duration model. An audio waveform is generated based on the spectrogram frame. Video information is generated based on the audio waveform. The audio waveform is provided as an output along with a corresponding video.
Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to build viewing sessions from ping-level data are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a threshold calculator to determine a threshold based on reference sessions represented in panel data obtained from panel meters. The example apparatus also includes a session partitioner to determine if a first ping from a device corresponds to a start ping of the session and a second ping from the device corresponds to an end ping of the session based on (i) the threshold, (ii) first payload data from the first ping, and (iii) second payload data from the second ping. The example apparatus includes the session partitioner to also determine a duration of the session based on a difference between a first time associated with the first ping and a second time associated with the second ping.

Abstract: A first set of garbage collection (GC) features and non-GC features associated with a storage system are received, the first set of features being associated with a predetermined start date and a time window. A learning equation is generated having a plurality of vectors of GC features and a plurality of vectors of non-GC features. For a current iteration representing a current GC process, it is determined whether a first prior GC process was started within the time window. An entry of vectors of the non-GC features of the learning equation is populated based on corresponding feature values of the first set of non-GC features, in response to determining that the first prior GC process was started within the time window. A predetermined regression algorithm is applied to the learning equation to generate a GC duration predictive model to predict a GC duration of a subsequent GC process.

Abstract: A method of decoding a bitstream comprising decoding the bitstream into color values and metadata items indicating information about adaptive post-processing operations performed by a decoder, performing high dynamic range (HDR) adaptation operations on the color values based on the metadata items, and performing fixed post-processing operations to reconstruct an HDR video from the color values, wherein the HDR adaptation operations convert color values into a format expected by the fixed post-processing operations.
Abstract: An apparatus determining network health comprising base stations in bidirectional communication with radios, each having an identifier and transmitting a signal including the identifier. First and second health determining radios each receive the signal during normal over-the-air operation of radio and determine if the radio is authorized and, if so, determine the identifier, time-separated signal waveforms that are compared, operating characteristics from the compared waveforms, and a current location of the radio. Each of the radios determine health of the radio based on packet sniffing, a frequency deviation, or a range of deviations by analyzing the operating characteristics. After analysis results sent to the master controller from the radios indicate that the authorized radio is healthy, the master controller determines from the analysis results that a geographically unhealthy location of the network exists within the geographic area from which the authorized healthy radio transmitted the signal.
