Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for enhancing online user privacy. Methods can include receiving tag information specifying a given publisher identifier for a publisher and a given client identifier assigned to a user of the client device by the publisher. A given service identifier assigned to the user by the service apparatus is obtained. A mapping between the given service identifier to the given client identifier is created. A list of client identifiers assigned to a set of users by the publisher is received. A list of matched service identifiers corresponding to the list of client identifiers are stored. Multiple content requests are received from multiple different client devices accessing services provided by the service apparatus. Responses to the content requests are based on whether the client devices provide service identifiers that are included in the list of matched service identifiers.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a low-overhead index for a cache. The index is used to access content or segments in the cache by storing at least an identifier and a location. The index is accessed using the identifier. The identifier may be shortened or be a short identifier. Because a collision may occur, the index may also include one or more meta-data values associated with the data segment. Collisions can be resolved by also comparing the metadata of the segment with the metadata stored in the index. If both the short identifier and metadata match those of the segment, the segment is likely in the cache and can be accessed. Segments can also be inserted into the cache.

Abstract: A device for detecting physiological parameters is used to detect a degree of user hypoxemia in response to flight conditions; degree of hypoxemia may be used automatically to modify actions by a training device such as a reduced oxygen breathing device or centrifuge and generate feedback or modifications to training profiles for future use. Machine learning processes may be combined with sensor activity to discover relationships between maneuvers, environmental conditions, physiological parameters, and degrees of impairment to develop optimal flight or training plans.

Abstract: Time domain battery usage data of a battery of an electrified powertrain of a vehicle in terms of average SOC, DOD and a set including average current flow rate and average battery temperature for each charge-discharge full cycle and half cycle of the battery during a use period are used to identify a location in a 3-D storage matrix (of fixed size and predetermined discretization levels for each dimension) in memory of an electronic control unit and a count in that location incremented. In an aspect, the charge-discharge full cycles and half cycles are identified using four-point rainflow cycle counting.

Abstract: A breathing circuit system for delivering gas from a fresh source to a user through a face mask. The system includes a cylindrical housing and a resiliently-biased valve supported substantially centrally within the housing. In the default or “off” position, the resilient bias causes the valve to be seated on a valve seat shutting off axial flow of gas through the valve housing. When the patient or user breathes, negative pressure is applied to one side of the valve effective to sufficiently overcome the resilient bias imposed on the valve to move the valve off the valve seat axially (or otherwise open in another direction) within the housing, thereby allowing flow of gas through both the valve seat and the valve housing, and into the breathing circuit connected thereto. When the patient's breathing pauses and begins to exhale, the valve bias returns the valve to its default or off condition shutting off flow of gas through the valve.

Abstract: A downhole tool for connecting with a conveyance line. The downhole tool includes a first body and a second body. The first body and second body are connected together, wherein the first body is operable to move with respect to the second body when a predetermined tension is applied to the line from a wellsite surface to cause the downhole tool to release the line. The first body and second body may be connected together via a plurality of pins, wherein the pins are configured to break when the predetermined tension is applied to the line from the wellsite surface to cause the downhole tool to release the line. The downhole tool may comprises a line end termination device operable to connect with the line. The line end termination device is operable to release the line when the predetermined tension is applied to the line from the wellsite surface.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for adaptive resource allocation for workloads with early-convergence detection. One method comprises obtaining a dynamic system model based on a relation between an amount of a resource for multiple workloads and a predefined service metric; obtaining an instantaneous value of the predefined service metric; obtaining an adjustment to the amount of the resource for a given workload based on a difference between the instantaneous value and a target value of the predefined service metric; determining whether the given workload has converged based on an evaluation of one or more predefined convergence criteria; and removing the given workload from a controlled workload list when the given workload has converged. The given workload can be reinserted in the controlled workload list when the given one of the plurality of workloads fails to satisfy a predefined divergence threshold.

Abstract: A ground overcurrent control system includes ground circuit with a first section and a second section. The first section is electrically connected to a ground member of an electrical connector and the second section is electrically connected to a ground reference. A switch element is positioned between the first section of the ground circuit and the second section of the ground circuit. A controller is configured to determine the current within the ground circuit while current is passing through the switch element and, upon the current exceeding a current threshold, the switch element is modified to an open condition. Upon determining that the voltage between the first section of the ground circuit and the ground reference is less than a voltage threshold, a command is generated to modify the switch element back to a closed condition.

Abstract: A controller receives an encrypted media stream (“EMS”) and an identifier indicative of a selected content key from a headend. The EMS is encrypted with an encryption key and can be decrypted with a corresponding decryption key which is determinable from the selected content key. The controller receives indexes and content keys from the headend prior to receiving the EMS. Each index respectively corresponds to an identifier with one index corresponding to the identifier indicative of the selected content key. The content keys correspond to the indexes with one content key corresponding to the index corresponding to the identifier indicative of the selected content key. The controller selects the index corresponding to the identifier indicative of the selected content key upon receiving the EMS, determines the selected content key from the selected index, determines the decryption key from the selected content key, and decrypts the EMS with the decryption key.
