  • Patent number: 11144443
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for allocating computing resources. Historical verification test data for one or more workloads is accessed. The accessed data is updated by removing data for workloads that are mathematical outliers. Based on the updated data, for one or more workload groups, resource allocations for a range of test times are determined. Based on the allocations, costs for the one or more workload groups are predicted. One or more test configurations are updated based on the predicting.

  • Patent number: 11143588
    Abstract: An open path gas detector for detecting the presence of a target gas in the presence of fog or water vapor. A transmitter transmits flashes of optical energy along a path in an area under surveillance, including energy at a sample wavelength region at which the target gas is absorbed, at a reference wavelength region not significantly absorbed by the target gas, and at a synchronization wavelength region different from the first and second wavelengths. A receiver includes a sample channel responsive to the optical energy at the sample wavelength region, a reference channel responsive to optical energy at the reference wavelength region, and a third synchronization channel responsive to the optical energy at the synchronization wavelength region. The receiver detects the target gas and synchronizes operation of the receiver to the transmitter flashes of optical energy using the output of the synchronization channel.

  • Patent number: 11144830
    Abstract: In an example, for each of one or more terms in a text document, one or more entities to which the term potentially maps are identified. The text document includes at least one ambiguous term. One or more features are extracted from the text document. An attention model is applied to the text document based on the extracted one or more features, resulting in an attention weight being applied to each of the one or more terms in the text document. The one or more terms are encoded based on the attention weights. Each of one or more ambiguous terms is classified based on the encoded terms, the classification assigning a value to each different entity that each ambiguous term potentially maps to. A minimum entropy loss function is evaluated using the classification, and results are back-propagated to the attention model.

  • Patent number: 11146401
    Abstract: A programming session may be initiated to a vehicle ECU by an update device. A software update for the ECU may be authenticated by the update device using an authentication key. When an authentication result indicates successful authentication, the ECU software update is sent by the update device over the in-vehicle network to the ECU. The ECU may then flash a memory with the ECU software update. The authentication key may be obtained from the ECU. The update device may be a vehicle telematics control unit or a service tool coupled to a connector of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11145256
    Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques for dynamic control of scan signals in active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays. Displays in portable electronic devices, such as smartphones, include tens of thousands of pixels. Scan signals in the display control the brightness and color of individual pixels. A leading source of power consumption in AMOLED displays, however, is the parasitic capacitance in the scan lines that carry the scan signals. As the frame rate of AMOLED displays has increased, the frequency of scan signals and the associated parasitic capacitance has also increased. The described AMOLED display can dynamically control the number of pulses in scan signals to reduce power consumption without degrading image quality.
