Abstract: A cluster generation system identifies data elements, from a first binary record, that each have a particular value and correspond to respective binary traits. A candidate description function describing the binary traits is generated, the candidate description function including a model factor that describes the data elements. Responsive to determining that a second record has additional data elements having the particular value and corresponding to the respective binary traits, the candidate description function is modified to indicate that the model factor describes the additional elements. The candidate description function is also modified to include a correction factor describing an additional binary trait excluded from the respective binary traits. Based on the modified candidate description function, the cluster generation system generates a data summary cluster, which includes a compact representation of the binary traits of the data elements and additional data elements.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to reading signals from a stimulus file produced by an emulator into a data store. A method includes executing, by a set of one or more worker processes, reading tasks. Each reading task is executable independent of other reading tasks.

The partial waveform includes a head and a tail that each has a smaller data size than an entirety of the partial waveform. The method further includes executing stitching tasks. The stitching tasks include pulling the heads and tails of the partial waveform from the data store, modifying the heads and tails to indicate a temporal order of the partial waveforms, and pushing the modified heads and tails back to the data store.

Abstract: An external fixation system may include first and second fixation rings and a plurality of adjustable length struts.

Abstract: A Ton/2 generator retrofits a digital tracking algorithm to an analog Constant-On-Time (COT) Controller to enable fast sensing. The Ton/2 generation is cognizant of the delay between high-side switch (HSFET) on generation and the actual turn-on time of the HSFET so that there is no deviation of sampling point, and current is reported with high accuracy. The digital tracking algorithm automatically takes higher steps during load transients to enable faster tracking and scales the measured current (Ipeak/2) based on a discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) period for DCM current reporting.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that estimate the overlap between sets of data samples. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems utilize a sketch-based sampling routine and a flexible, accurate estimator to determine the overlap (e.g., the intersection) between sets of data samples. For example, in some implementations, the disclosed systems generate a sketch vector—such as a one permutation hashing vector—for each set of data samples. The disclosed systems further compare the sketch vectors to determine an equal bin similarity estimator, a lesser bin similarity estimator, and a greater bin similarity estimator. The disclosed systems utilize one or more of the determined similarity estimators in generating an overlap estimation for the sets of data samples.
