Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods for attenuating flow ripple generated by a hydraulic pump. In certain aspects, a method and system for operating a hydraulic positive displacement pump according to a stabilized command profile are disclosed, such that flow ripple generated by operation of the pump according to the stabilized command profile is attenuated as compared to operation of the pump according to a corresponding nominal command profile. In other aspects, a pressure-balanced active buffer is disclosed that allow for at least partially cancelling flow ripple in a hydraulic circuit comprising a pump. In another aspect, a method for generating ripple maps for a pump is disclosed. Such ripple maps may be used, for example, to determine the stabilized command profile used to operate the pump, or may be used by the pressure-balanced active buffer to counteract ripple in the hydraulic circuit.

The method includes generating, by a first convolutional neural network, a first mask representing an identification of an area of the digital image that corresponds to stool, and a second mask representing an identification of an area of the digital image that corresponds to a diaper. The method further includes generating a third mask representing an intersection of the first and second masks, and generating a modified digital image utilizing the third mask. The method further includes determining, by a second convolutional neural network, a stool rating for the digital image of the diaper with stool by utilizing the modified digital image as input for the second convolutional neural network.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, context-driven device arbitration techniques to select a speech interface device from multiple speech interface devices to provide a response to a command included in a speech utterance of a user. In some examples, the context-driven arbitration techniques may include executing multiple pipeline instances to analyze audio signals and device metadata received from each of the multiple speech interface devices which detected the speech utterance. A remote speech processing service may execute the multiple pipeline instances and analyze the audio signals and/or metadata, at various stages of the pipeline instances, to determine which speech interface device is to respond to the speech utterance.

Abstract: Hydraulic systems and methods for reducing the propagation of flow and/or pressure fluctuations within a hydraulic system with a differential buffer are described. A differential buffer may include a first internal volume, a second internal volume, and a barrier separating at least a portion of the first internal volume and at least a portion of the second internal volume.

Abstract: A client computer includes a synchronization manager. The synchronization manager communicates with a remote content management system to determine a set of objects in a content navigation hierarchy. The synchronization manager provides a user interface with controls to allow a user to independently select multiple objects in the content navigation hierarchy for synchronization and receives an input, via the interface, that selects objects from the set of objects for synchronization. The synchronization manager stores local peers of the selected objects in a local cache in a local file system. The synchronization manager synchronizes changes to the selected objects at the content management system to the local peers in the file system.
