Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for dynamic search interfaces. In one implementation, a search query is received from a user within a content retrieval interface. The search query is processed with respect to a first content source to determine a relevance of the first content source with respect to the search query. Based on a determination that the first content source exceeds a defined relevance threshold, content from the first content source is requested and/or received. The content received from the first content source is presented within the content retrieval interface.

Abstract: A system can have an electromagnetic radiation (EMR) detection and ranging (DAR) device, such as a LIDAR device. A shock mount can couple the EMR DAR device to a vehicle. The shock mount can isolate the EMR DAR device from impulse shocks experienced by the vehicle. An inertial measurement unit (IMU) can be coupled to the EMR DAR device or a first portion of the shock mount. The IMU can measure movement of the EMR DAR device. Alternatively or additionally, the EMR DAR can detect locations of a reference feature of the vehicle at different times and can use the detected locations to determine movement of the EMR DAR relative to the vehicle. Data of the EMR DAR device indicative of detected features can be adjusted based at least in part on the movement measured by the IMU.

Abstract: Generalizations of quantum amplitude amplification and amplitude estimation algorithms work with non-boolean oracles (by way of definition, the action of a non-boolean oracle U? on an eigenstate |x is to apply a state-dependent phase-shift ?(x); unlike boolean oracles, the eigenvalues exp(i?(x)) of a non-boolean oracle are not restricted to be ±1). The non-boolean amplitude amplification algorithm preferentially amplifies the amplitudes of the eigenstates based on the value of ?(x). Starting from a given initial superposition state |?0, the basis states with lower values of cos(?) are amplified at the expense of the basis states with higher values of cos(?). The non-boolean quantum mean estimation algorithm uses quantum phase estimation to estimate the expectation ?0|U?|?0 (i.e., the expected value of exp(i?(x)) for a random x sampled by making a measurement on |?0). The quantum mean estimation algorithm offers a quadratic speedup over its counterpart boolean algorithm known in the art.

The repeller assembly contains a repeller, a tubular insert, first and second insulators, a contact member, and a lock member. The repeller has a knob-shaped body placed on an inner side of the arc chamber opposite to a cathode assembly. A repeller shaft is arranged extending through an opening of a wall of the arc chamber to an outer side. The repeller shaft has a step narrowing down the repeller shaft. The tubular insert is mounted concentrically to the repeller shaft. The first insulator has a collar shape and is attached to the tubular insert so that an inner shoulder of the first insulator is pressed against an outer side of the wall of the arc chamber. The second insulator is cap-nut shaped and is attached to the first insulator with an outer flange thereof.

Abstract: A computing system measures an amount of carbon that is emitted as a consequence of the execution of individual application processes of an operation. The computing system can then leverage these measurements to modify how the application processes are run. In operation, the computing system deploys an application process in a container of a particular worker node of a cluster in a container orchestration platform. The technology further deploys an agent (e.g., a daemon) on all of the worker nodes of the cluster, including the particular worker node. The agent includes an energy-managing mechanism that is given privileges to measure the amount of energy consumed by the application process within the particular node. The computing system can use this energy measure, together with applicable carbon intensity information, to compute the amount of carbon emitted by the application process.
