  • Patent number: 11958301
    Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a printing unit configured to print an image on a print medium, an acquiring unit configured to acquire temperature information of the printing unit, and a control unit configured to control the printing unit so as to start relative scanning in a case where a temperature that is indicated by the temperature information has reached a print permission temperature. The print permission temperature in a first print mode whose speed at a time of a constant speed in relative scanning is a first speed is a first temperature. The print permission temperature in a second print mode whose speed at the time of the constant speed is a second speed that is faster than the first speed is a second temperature that is lower than the first temperature.

  • Patent number: 11210159
    Abstract: A failure detection and correction module (FDCM) uses statistical measurement to detect failures in a distributed computing system caused by hardware, software, workflow, deployment, environmental factors, etc. in a component of the computing system, the computing system, or multiple computing systems and produces corrective actions. The FDCM identifies issues from various components, correlates the estimated failures in each level of components and rolls up failures and estimated failures from each level of components to system level estimations of failures, reevaluates the system reliability factors, readjusts the system reliability and system functions from the adjusted reliability factors, and produces intelligent corrective actions to improve both system reliability and the system efficiency. Corrective action includes changing slice storing parameters and rebuild priorities on a dispersed storage system.

    Abstract: A system for interpreting intents and providing recommendations based on the intents is provided. The system may include a multiple-intent interpreter configured to receive a customer expression and interprets a plurality of intents from the expression. The plurality of intents may be processed by the system to discover other related intents from an intent network. In searching the intent network to discover related intents, the intents may be grouped into sets, where each intent set may correspond to one recommendation. The system may further include a recommender that provides a set of recommendations based on a set or sets of intents. Each recommendation may be evaluated with a risk index that is calculated based on news reports, financial data, blogs, and opinion write-ups, which may be available from public domain as well from private domain.

  • Patent number: 9255943
    Abstract: A process of the invention analyzes a moving speed using acceleration data by an acceleration sensor and calculates a moving distance of the object. The process removes each of given candidate values of drift components from angular velocity data by a gyro sensor and generates relative azimuths data pieces. Based on the respective relative azimuths data pieces, the process calculates moving directions of the object. Using the moving distance and moving directions calculated, the process creates plural moving loci corresponding to the candidate values of drift components. By comparing the positions of actual starting and end points of moving in a building with the positions of starting and end points of each moving locus, the process evaluates the moving loci and determines an optimal moving locus out of the moving loci, based on the evaluation result.
