Abstract: An apparatus for aircraft propulsion includes a propeller and a hybrid-cooled electric engine mounted to a support structure and configured to rotate the propeller. The electric engine is located in an enclosure, with a first heat transfer element thermally coupled to the electric engine via a fluid flow path, partially located outside the enclosure. A second heat transfer element, integral to or thermally coupled to the electric engine, provides air cooling. Both heat transfer elements are housed within the aircraft's support structure. At least one air inlet on the upper side of the support structure receives propeller downwash. A first cooling path directs a portion of the downwash from the air inlet to the first heat transfer element, and a first air outlet exhausts the downwash.

Abstract: A VTOL aircraft includes a plurality of lift propellers configured to rotated by lift motors to provide vertical thrust during takeoff, landing and hovering operations. The lift propellers are configured to generate a cooling airflow to cool the lift motors during use. During a cruise operation when the VTOL aircraft is in forward motion, the lift propellers may be stowed in a stationary position. Therefore, the cooling airflow may be reduced or eliminated when it is not needed.

The obtained casted membrane thin film is quaternized in methyl iodide solution.

Abstract: This disclosure pertains to systems and methods to detect network errors in a parallel redundant protocol (PRP) network. A node-level redundancy error subsystem of an intelligent electronic device (IED) maintains records (e.g., counts) of information associated with missing duplicate frames expected from node devices on the PRP network via redundant first and second local area networks (LANs). Non-zero counts of missing duplicate frames may be identified as network errors.

Abstract: Technologies for mesh path selection are described. One method of operating a first wireless mesh device includes determining, using first client information about a first link, the first link using a first frequency range, a first metric representing airtime usage on the link, and a second metric representing a first amount of data on a second link, the second link using the first frequency range.

The method determines, using the metrics, a first throughput associated with a first path with the second link and a second throughput associated with a second path. The method determines that the third link results in better throughput and sends or receives first data on the third link.

Abstract: A network appliance or smart switch can include service devices as well as a switching device such as those used in high-speed switches having limited processing ability and are stateless with respect to sessions. Service devices can provide stateful and complex processing. A first exposed port of a switching device can receive network packets and can determine which network packets the service devices are to process to produce processed network packets. A network packet can be sent to a service device in a redirected packet. A processed network packet can be received from a service device in a reinjected packet that is used to recover a port identifier of the first exposed port. The port identifier can be used to determine a network destination of the processed network packet. The processed network packet can be sent from a second exposed port of the switching device toward the network destination.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for generating an embedding—a learned representation—for an image. The embedding for the image is derived to capture visual aspects, as well as textual aspects, of the image. An encoder-decoder is trained to generate the visual representation of the image. An optical character recognition (OCR) algorithm is used to identify text/words in the image. From these words, an embedding is derived by performing an average pooling operation on pre-trained embeddings that map to the identified words. Finally, the embedding representing the visual aspects of the image is combined with the embedding representing the textual aspects of the image to generate a final embedding for the image.

Abstract: Technologies for language agnostic OCR extraction include identifying a word region of an image using optical character recognition, applying a language agnostic machine learning model to the word region, where the language agnostic machine learning model is trained on training data including a set of image-text pairs and a set of multilingual text translation pairs, receiving, from the language agnostic machine learning model, a word region embedding that is associated with the word region, searching a multilingual index for a text embedding that matches the word region embedding, receiving, from the multilingual index, text associated with the text embedding; and outputting at least one of the text or the text embedding to at least one downstream process, application, system, component, or network.

Abstract: Systems for application configuration backup and restore. Techniques establish high frequency restore points of application configuration metadata. Processing commences upon receiving instructions to periodically take snapshots of application configuration metadata. To avoid incurring unnecessary costs to process snapshots of application configuration metadata when the application configuration metadata is slow-changing, the method performs a low-cost check to get the latest update time of the application configuration metadata. That time is compared to the time of the most recent snapshot of the application configuration metadata. When the time of the latest update time of the application configuration metadata is equal to the time of the most recent snapshot of the application configuration metadata, then rather than incurring the cost of generating a duplicate snapshot, the method waits for a duration without generating a new snapshot.

Abstract: A method to prevent a malicious attack on CPU subsystem (CPUSS) hardware is described. The method includes auto-calibrating tunable delay elements of a dynamic variation monitor (DVM) using an auto-calibration value computed in response to each detected change of a clock frequency (Fclk)/supply voltage (Vdd) of the CPUSS hardware.
