Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing an error remediation recommendation—for flagged incorrect values in broadband service deployment data—using a broadband error remediation engine in a data analytics system. The error remediation recommendation can identify a corrective action to resolve errors (i.e., incorrect values) in broadband service deployment data. Operationally, the broadband error remediation engine is configured to access broadband service deployment data associated with a plurality of broadband service data features. The broadband error remediation engine uses an error remediation model to and a plurality of datasets to execute a sequence of error remediation operations (e.g., checks and comparisons). Based on executing the sequence of error remediation operations, a corrective action (e.g., change geographic coordinates or remove deployment units) for an incorrect value of a broadband service feature in the broadband service deployment data.

Abstract: An ATM is configured to interact with a mobile device and provide user access to one or more of the banking services available at the ATM using the mobile device. Banking-related information may be viewed and/or input at the ATM using the mobile device. The ATM may have multiple vertical levels of deposit slots, withdrawal trays and/or receipt dispensers. A level at the ATM at which the user interacts with the ATM for deposits, withdrawals, or receipts may be selected. The level may be specified by the user of the mobile device, at the ATM or using the mobile device, or may be determined by the ATM.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide synchronization techniques for user equipment (UEs) that may be otherwise unable to support sidelink communication a synchronized UE and may have also lost global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and/or Evolved Node Base Stations (eNBs) as a synchronization source. In such instance, the unsynchronized UE may utilize reference signals (RS) from the data packets received from other UEs to track the timing and perform autonomous timing adjustments based thereon for synchronized packet transmission or reception.

Abstract: Embodiments determine a draft force based on forces at hitch points of the tractor, to determine type of soil, on which the tractor is plying. Embodiments determine rotational peripheral velocity of the implement and forward velocity of the tractor. Embodiments provide recommendations for adjusting the rotational peripheral velocity of the implement and the forward velocity of the tractor based on the soil type, the rotational peripheral velocity of the implement, and the forward velocity of the tractor. The recommendation is provided, if the ratio of the rotational peripheral velocity of the implement and the forward velocity of the tractor falls outside an optimal range.

Abstract: A screen-less automated teller machine (ATM) may be configured to interact with a mobile device. The ATM may automatically detect the presence of the mobile device in a vicinity of the ATM and initiate contact with the mobile device, or a mobile device may initiate contact with the ATM. After verifying user permission to access the ATM, the mobile device may be enabled to provide user access to one or more of the banking services available at the ATM using the mobile device. As the ATM is screen-less, banking-related information may be viewed and/or input at the ATM using the mobile device. An application on the mobile device may be used to access and interact with the ATM using the mobile device.

Abstract: An exemplary security apparatus generally includes a tether, a head, and a body. The head is secured to the tether, and generally includes a plug including a latch and an actuator at least selectively operable to move the latch from a latching position to an unlatching position. The body is secured to the tether, and includes a port operable to receive the plug. With the plug received in the port, the latch prevents separation of the head and the body when the latch is in the latching position, and does not prevent separation of the head and the body when the latch is in the unlatching position.

Abstract: An exemplary ring lock generally includes a housing, a shackle, a lock cylinder, and a first frangible component. The shackle is movable relative to the housing between an open position and a closed position. The lock cylinder is operable to maintain the shackle in the closed position, and is selectively operable to permit movement of the shackle from the closed position to the open position. The first frangible component is configured to break in response to application of a first threshold torque to the lock cylinder. With the first frangible component broken, the lock cylinder is prevented from permitting movement of the shackle from the closed position to the open position.

Abstract: Edit automation functionality generalizes edits performed by a user in a document, locates similar text, and recommends or applies transforms while staying within a current workflow. Source code edits such as refactoring are automated. The functionality uses or provides anchor target lists, temporal edit patterns, edit graphs, automatable edit sequence libraries, and other data structures and computational techniques for identifying locations appropriate for particular edits, for getting transforms, for selecting optimal transforms, for leveraging transforms in an editing session or later, and for displaying transform recommendations and results. The edit automation functionality enhances automation subtool generation, discoverability, and flexibility, for refactoring, snippet insertion, quick actions in an integrated development environment, and other automatable edit sequences.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A device may determine a packet for transmission and determine whether to transmit a reservation signal prior to the transmission of the packet based in part on a condition. The condition may include, but is not limited to, a packet size, or a packet priority, or a combination thereof. According to the determination, the device may refrain from transmitting the reservation signal or allocate resources for the reservation signal from a same resource pool associated with the transmission of the packet or a dedicated resource pool according to a pre-reservation resource pattern.

Abstract: Embodiments use a multi-modal approach to generate software programs that match a solution program description. The solution program description may include natural language, input-output examples, partial source code, desired operators, or other hints. Some embodiments use optimized prompts to a pre-trained language model to obtain initial candidate programs. Maximal program components are extracted and then recombined variously using component-based synthesis. Beam search reduces a solution program search space by discarding some candidates from a given synthesis iteration. Relevance metrics, string similarity metrics, operator frequency distributions, token rareness scores, and other optimizations may be employed. By virtue of optimizations and the multi-modal approach, a solution program may be obtained after fewer iterations than by use of a language model alone.
