  • Publication number: 20240116561
    Abstract: An electric power steering assembly includes an electric motor, a gearset, and a ball-screw assembly. The gearset couples the electric motor and a ball nut of the ball-screw assembly such that the electric motor is operable to rotate the ball nut relative to the ball shaft. A plurality of bearings are circulatable through a helical track, which is defined between the ball nut and a ball shaft of the ball-screw assembly, when the ball nut rotates relative to the ball shaft in order to translate the ball shaft relative to the ball nut.

  • Patent number: 11758967
    Abstract: A bicycle helmet system comprising a helmet and a chin bar is disclosed. The chin bar is removably coupled to the helmet and wrapped circumferentially around a portion of the helmet. The chin bar may include a rear buckle configured to tighten the chin bar around the helmet. The chin bar may also include two side buckles that engage with side recesses on the helmet when the chin bar is removably coupled to the helmet. The chin bar may also include two alignment protrusions positioned to engage with alignment recesses on the helmet when the chin bar is removably coupled to the helmet.

  • Publication number: 20230239345
    Abstract: In response to a first programmatic request, metadata indicating that a first isolated read channel of a real-time category has been associated with a first target stream is stored at a stream management service. In response to another request, metadata indicating that a second isolated read channel of a non-real-time category has been associated with a second target stream is stored. In response to a read request indicating the first channel or the second channel, one or more data records of the corresponding target streams are provided.

  • Patent number: 11675501
    Abstract: At a data stream management service, a first set of metadata indicating that a first isolated read channel has been associated with a first data stream is stored. The first isolated read channel has an associated read performance limit setting. A second set of metadata indicating that a second isolated read channel, with its own performance limit setting, has been associated with a data stream is also stored. Based on determining that the difference between a metric of read operations associated with the first channel and the read performance limit setting of the first channel meets a first criterion, the service initiates a throttling operation for reads associated with the first channel. The throttling decision is made independently of read metrics of the second channel.

  • Patent number: 11669347
    Abstract: A video sequence may be generated that animates user interactions across a number of different user interfaces for an application. Visual representations of the user interfaces can be combined together into an image that acts as a canvas or background for the video sequence. A record of user interactions with the user interfaces can be mapped to locations on the canvas, and the video sequence can be generated that incrementally animates user actions as they move between different containers or controls in the user interfaces. The animation may show individual users or aggregated user groups represented by graphics that move across the user interfaces to form a path represented by connectors and arcs.

  • Patent number: 11509700
    Abstract: From a stream management service, indications of transmissions of data records of a first data stream via a persistent network connection associated with a subscription are provided to a stream processing application. In response to detecting that a transfer throttling condition associated with the subscription has been met, a delay is introduced before additional data records are transmitted via the same persistent network connection. After a subscription expiration period has elapsed, an indication of the expiration is provided to the application via the persistent connection.

  • Patent number: 11272132
    Abstract: Provided are pixels, devices, systems, and methods relating to active pixel sensor in which each active pixel puts out a signal that represents a temporal differential. The output of the active pixel represents a comparison or difference between successive frames. The differential can represent the state of the sensor element in the pixel at the end of one frame compared to the state of the sensor element of the frame, at the end of the prior frame.

  • Patent number: 11075984
    Abstract: At a platform at which stream data retrieval requests directed to a stream management service are processed, respective metrics of reads being performed using a first set of one or more persistent network connections established between the platform and one or more stream processing applications are collected. A request to read additional stream data requests is directed to the platform based at least in part on a decision made by a load balancer. The request is rejected based on a determination that the collected metrics satisfy a threshold.

  • Patent number: 11070645
    Abstract: A data delivery service of a service provider may receive respective job specifications for different data transfer jobs between computing infrastructure collections (e.g., data centers). A job specification for a data transfer job may include an amount of data to be transferred for the data transfer job, one or more destinations of data transfers for the data transfer job, and/or one or more flexibility parameters for successful transfer of the data for the data transfer job (e.g., a deadline to transfer the data, available data delivery techniques). The data delivery service may determine a schedule for performing different data transfer jobs between two or more infrastructures based on an analysis of the amount of data to be transferred for each job, the destinations of the data transfer for each job, the flexibility parameters for each job (e.g., included in the respective job specifications), and the connectivity between computing infrastructure collections.

  • Patent number: 11070600
    Abstract: At a stream management service, one or more storage servers of a first repository are assigned to store at least a first partition of a first data stream. At the first repository, records of different partitions are interleaved. In response to determining that a set of data records of the first partition meet a first criterion, a rearranged version of the set in which the data records of the first partition are contiguous is stored at a second repository. Using the rearranged version, one or more records of the first partition are provided to an application which meets a lag criterion.
