Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for cross-chain communication in a blockchain platform. Various aspects may include accepting, at a first blockchain, a first transaction including a message and a message payload. Aspects may also include validating, at the first blockchain, the message by signing the message using signature keys of one or more validators in a first set of validators of the first blockchain. Aspects may also include generating an aggregate signature based on the signature keys of the one or more validators in a first set of validators. Aspects may also include submitting a second transaction on to a second blockchain, the second transaction including the message and the aggregate signature. Aspects may include validating, at the second blockchain, the second transaction based on a shared registry.

Abstract: A method, system, and non-transitory computer readable media for converting input from a user into a human interface device (HID) output to cause a corresponding action at an mapped device includes receiving one or more user input from a user at an input device, analyzing the user input selecting a command from a command profile that maps at least one of the received user inputs to one or more mapped tasks, executing the one or more mapped tasks associated with the selected command, and causing one or more corresponding actions at one or more mapped devices associated with the one or more mapped tasks.

Abstract: A system for supporting an unload tube of an agricultural vehicle grain tank. The system includes a tension rod having an elongated body extending between (i) a first end that is configured to be either directly or indirectly connected to a frame of the agricultural vehicle and (ii) a second end having a first non-planar mounting surface. A support member includes (i) a first end that is configured to be either directly or indirectly connected to the unload tube and (ii) a second end that is configured to be directly connected to the second end of the tension rod. The second end of the support member has a second non-planar mounting surface that is configured to be directly engaged with the first non-planar mounting surface to limit relative motion between the tension rod and the unload tube in an assembled state of the system.

Abstract: A system for fastening a tension rod of a grain tank of an agricultural vehicle to a frame of the agricultural vehicle to which the grain tank is mounted. The tension rod includes an elongated body extending between a first connection end that is configured to be connected either directly or indirectly to the grain tank, and a second connection end including openings for respectively receiving fasteners. A first member is either configured to be mounted to the frame or associated with the frame. The first member includes (i) openings for respectively receiving the fasteners, and (ii) a first non-planar mounting surface. A second member includes (i) openings for respectively receiving the fasteners and (ii) a second non-planar mounting surface that is configured to be directly engaged with the first non-planar mounting surface to limit relative motion between the tension rod and the frame in an assembled state.

Abstract: A method of improving performance of machine learning models by leveraging crowdsourced artificial intelligence includes sending first data to a plurality of data source compute nodes and receiving indications of stakes and estimates based on the first data from the plurality of data source compute nodes. Each data source compute node is ranked based on the received indications of stakes, to generate a plurality of ranked data source compute nodes. An accuracy of each received estimate is calculated by comparing the received estimates to second data. Until a predefined resource is depleted, and in order of rank, if the accuracy of the estimate associated with a ranked data source compute node exceeds a predefined threshold, the predefined resource is decremented and a token augmentation can be assigned to the ranked data source compute node.

Abstract: A cube map is used for determining the appearance of a surface by means of a precomputed texture image. Embodiments of the present invention are drawn computer systems and methods for rendering a spherical projection as a cube map that mitigates non-uniform pixel density near the edges of the cube map to avoid artifacts and increase rendering performance.

Abstract: Marker commands are added to a stream of commands that are executed by a graphics processing unit (GPU) in a computing system. While the GPU executes the commands, information is written to a memory location each time a marker is reached in the pipeline. The memory location is accessible to the central processing unit (CPU), and the information identifies a command executed by the GPU. If the CPU receives an indication that the GPU is in an invalid state, then the CPU responds by accessing the memory location to identify the command executed in the pipeline of the GPU. Consequently, a command that was executing when the GPU entered the invalid state can be identified. This information can be used to pinpoint the cause of the invalid state.

Abstract: An object monitoring system includes a camera node (2) for monitoring movement of an object (18) to determine an acquisition time when an image of the object (18) is to be acquired and acquiring the image at the predetermined time. The system includes a camera (6) which is able to monitor moving objects (18), and image processing circuitry (10), responsive to the camera (6), which is able to detect a predetermined moving object (18) from other moving and static objects. From the image acquired, information identifying the object (18) can be automatically extracted. The system is particularly suited to monitoring and discriminating large vehicles (18) from other vehicles over a multi-lane roadway, and acquiring high resolution images of the large vehicles (18) at a predetermined acquisition point (22).
