Abstract: Systems and methods for efficient database management of non-transitory readable media, including a memory configured to store information associated with service instance requests across a plurality of distributed network resources and a processor configured to receive a service instance request, determine the first native domain object associated with the service instance request, allocate the plurality of network resources to a plurality of distributed worker instances dependent upon a first native domain object, assign the first service instance request to a first worker instance that includes a microservice instance that define service instance blocks to execute the request, and a service instance block manager configured to manage the first service instance request in conjunction with subsequent service instance requests associated with the plurality of worker instances, track running and completed requests, and allocate resources for similar requests across the distributed network nodes.

Abstract: A system and method for providing diagnostic analysis of a physical condition of a human body. A signal generator, an emitter, a receiver, and processor(s) generate a baseline signal. In some implementations, the emitter may emit the baseline signal through cells of the human body over scanning points for a predetermined amount of time, and a receiver detects reflected signals that have propagated through the cells of the human body. Some implementations include determining, by the one or more processors, a power spectrum density (PSD) of the reflected baseline signal and a spectral variance in the PSD of the reflected baseline signal relative to the baseline signal. Some implementations may compare the spectral variance to one or more predetermined spectral variances corresponding to one or more conditions of the human body and determine the condition of the human body, based on the comparison.

Abstract: Methods of reducing air within a stent graft delivery device are disclosed, utilizing various flushing techniques. A port in a manifold that includes a pusher catheter coaxially disposed about a guide wire catheter is flushed. A portion in a sheath hub that excludes a longitudinally extended outer sheath coaxially disposed about the pusher catheter is flushed with a flushing fluid and/or a blood soluble gas, such as carbon dioxide. The guide wire catheter is also flushed.

Abstract: In one aspect, a system for providing implement-based speed control for a work vehicle may include a planter controller provided in operative association with a planter towed by the work vehicle and a vehicle controller provided in operative association with the work vehicle. The planter controller may be configured to access an input associated with at least one predetermined threshold value for an operating parameter of the planter and monitor the operating parameter relative to the predetermined threshold value(s) as the planter is being towed at a current ground speed of the work vehicle. In addition, when the operating parameter differs from the predetermined threshold value(s), the planter controller may be configured to adjust a speed control request transmitted to the vehicle controller to cause the current ground speed of the work vehicle to be automatically increased or decreased between predetermined maximum and minimum speed values set for the work vehicle.

Abstract: This disclosure concerns methods and compositions for identifying cotton plants that have a reniform nematode resistance trait. Some embodiments concern molecular markers to identify, select, and/or construct reniform nematode resistant plants and germplasm, or to identify and counter-select relatively susceptible plants. This disclosure also concerns cotton plants comprising a reniform nematode resistance trait that are generated by methods utilizing at least one marker described herein.

Abstract: Devices and methods for bypassing a defective component in a combining network relaying respective upstream and downstream signals between a head end and a plurality of subscribers. The devices and methods may preferably redirect the upstream signal without redirecting the downstream signal using a wavelength-dependent filter.

Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to determine an applicable pre-defined vehicle system state set, defining preferred vehicle system states when a driver is away from a vehicle. The processor is also configured to determine a driver exit-event while a vehicle state in the state set varies from a preferred setting and notify a driver mobile device of the variance, responsive to the exit event.

Abstract: A wireless device receives a first configuration parameter used in determination of a first sequence of bit(s). The wireless device may receive a DCI comprising a hybrid automatic repeat request process number field comprising first bit(s). The wireless device may validate the DCI. The validation of the DCI may be based on comparing the first bit(s) with the first sequence in response to the first bit(s) not indicating a configuration index. The validation of the DCI may not be based on the first bit(s) in response to the first bit(s) indicating a configuration index. The wireless device may activate or deactivate resources.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a plurality of NAND strings in a block with word lines connected to cells of the NAND strings and select lines connected to select gate transistors of the NAND strings. A plurality of blocks are connected together and selected for operations using a block select signal. A control circuit is configured to, after a read operation of memory cells of the block, hold a block select signal applied to a block select line to select a group of blocks having a same block select line at an on level. The control circuit can further discharge an unselected control gate in the group of blocks from a charged level to a lower level, lower than charged, prior to turning off the block select signal and charge the unselected control gate to a level greater than the lower level after the block select signal transitions from the on level to an off level.

Abstract: A system that incorporates aspects of the subject disclosure may perform operations including, for example, obtaining uplink information associated with a plurality of communication devices transmitting wireless signals on a plurality of uplink paths, performing, based on the uplink information, a plurality of measurements of the plurality of uplink paths, identifying a measurement from the plurality of measurements that is below a threshold, and initiating a corrective action to improve a measurement of an affected uplink path of the plurality of uplink paths based on the identifying. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to a display device. One example provides a display device comprising a projector and a pre-expander optic configured to replicate an exit pupil of the projector in at least a first direction, the pre-expander optic comprising a plurality of spectrally-selective pupil-replicating elements to form at least two exit pupils at different spatial locations, each exit pupil being for a different spectral band. The display device further comprises a waveguide comprising at least two incoupling pupils, each incoupling pupil configured to receive light from a corresponding exit pupil of the pre-expander optic, and the waveguide configured to replicate each corresponding exit pupil in at least a second direction and output the light received toward an eyebox.
