  • Publication number: 20240412251
    Abstract: A system including a processor and non-transitory computer-readable media storing computing instructions that, when executed on the processor, perform a method that includes training a machine learning model by using a training data set to determine taxonomy embeddings for taxonomies based on training features that include a context word vector, a center word vector, and a probability. The probability corresponds to a function between the context word vector and the center word vector. The taxonomy embeddings represent at least a first level of a taxonomy and a second level of the taxonomy. The machine learning model, as trained, is used to determine the taxonomy embeddings based on taxonomy identifiers and reduce the taxonomy embeddings by removing at least one taxonomy of the taxonomies that are below a threshold to thereby reduce the taxonomies. The threshold comprises a number of aggregate page views.

Emitters are electrically interfaced to the controller and include visible wavelength emitters and infrared wavelength emitters. The controller is configured to selectively initiate a flow of electric current though the visible wavelength emitters or through the infrared wavelength emitters causing the visible wavelength emitters or the infrared wavelength emitters to emit light and the light passes through the enclosure. There is at least one infrared detector, each of which is electrically interfaced to the controller and each of which is configured to detect infrared light that enters the enclosure. When the controller receives an electrical signal from any of the at least one infrared detector indicating reception of infrared light, the controller emits a signal to warn of the reception of infrared light (e.g., an audible signal, a vibration, a wireless signal, a wired signal).

    Abstract: Systems and methods of processing queries for column-oriented database systems involve processing the queries to identify which of values of column data are to be accessed for the query. A select bitmap is then generated having k bits wherein each bit corresponds to one of the values of the column. The select bitmap is generated such that each bit representing a value of the column data that is to be accessed for the query has a first value and each bit representing a value of the column data that is not to be accessed for the query has a second value. Encoded values are then extracted from memory for each of the values represented in the select bitmap by a bit having the first value. The extracted encoded values are decoded to generate decoded query data. The decoded query data is then processed to generate result data.

  • Publication number: 20240409103
    Abstract: The disclosure is generally directed to vehicle load balancing systems and methods. An example method executed by a processor includes receiving, from a weight sensor, a first weight measurement of a cargo item placed upon a cargo bed of a vehicle and further includes receiving a second weight measurement from the weight sensor after detecting that the vehicle is in motion. The processor then determines, based on detecting a difference between the first weight measurement and the second weight measurement that the cargo item has shifted from a first spot to a second spot on the cargo bed. The example method can further involve placing the cargo bed in a tilted configuration followed by configuring the vehicle to jerk sporadically while traveling in a first direction that is selected to shift the cargo item back from the second spot to the first spot on the cargo bed.
