  • Patent number: 11003696
    Abstract: Various embodiments partition map data into discrete portions of map data based on predetermined boundaries, and individual map data portions (e.g., shards) are assigned to individual computing nodes in a plurality of computing nodes that service geographic routing requests. A routing component associated with the plurality of computing nodes directs the geographic routing request to one or more computing nodes. The computing nodes adaptively cache geographical map data based on, for example, data relating to past geographic routes. Once cached at a computing node in a plurality of computing nodes, the computing node services current and future geographic routing requests using its assigned portion of map data and one or more portions of map data adaptively cached at the computing node, thereby reducing chances of more than one computing node getting involved in servicing a request.

  • Publication number: 20210097601
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for bid optimization. A bid test component is configured to receive a notification from a content recommendation auction engine that a user has requested that the bid test component test various bidding parameters for a content scheme used to bid on opportunities to show content to users. Accordingly, a set of test content schemes are created. Varying bid levels, budget allocations, and/or other bidding parameters are set for the test content schemes. The test content schemes are submitted to the content recommendation auction engine for bidding on opportunities to show content. Test content scheme statistics, regarding the performance of the test content schemes, are collected. Recommendations are providing and automated content scheme management is facilitated based upon the test content scheme statistics.

  • Publication number: 20210072411
    Abstract: A semiconductor device may include a plurality of single-photon avalanche diodes. The single-photon avalanche diodes may be arranged in microcells. Each microcell may be a split microcell with first and second independent microcell segments. Each microcell segment in the split microcell may have a respective single-photon avalanche diode that is coupled to an output line. The single-photon avalanche diode of each microcell segment may also be coupled to a respective resistor that is used to quench avalanches in the single-photon avalanche diode. Splitting the microcell may reduce the recovery time of each microcell. The segments of the split microcell may be positioned close together, even if susceptible to optical crosstalk. Intra-microcell isolation structures may be formed between the microcell segments. Inter-microcell isolation structures may be formed around a perimeter of the split microcell. The intra-microcell and inter-microcell isolation structures may be different.

    Abstract: Various embodiments herein each include at least one of systems, software, and methods for detecting such problems and to take corrective action. One embodiment, in the form of a method, includes instructing a printer to print a document including a testing output and receiving an image of the document including the testing output from an imaging device. This method further includes analyzing the testing output included in the received image in view of an expected testing output to identify a printing issue and then storing a result of the analysis. The method may also include performing at least one remedial action to correct an identified printing issue.

  • Publication number: 20210063588
    Abstract: An imaging device may include single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). Positioning SPADs close together in an imaging device (such as a silicon photomultiplier) may have benefits such as improved sensitivity. However, as the SPADs get closer together, the SPADS may become susceptible to crosstalk. Crosstalk is typically undesirable due to reduced dynamic range and reduced signal accuracy. To reduce crosstalk, a capacitor or other component may be coupled between adjacent SPADs. When an avalanche occurs on a given SPAD, the bias voltage may drop below the breakdown voltage. The capacitor may cause a corresponding voltage drop on a neighboring SPAD. The voltage drop on the neighboring SPAD reduces the over-bias of that SPAD, reducing the sensitivity of the SPAD and therefore mitigating the chance of crosstalk occurring.

  • Publication number: 20210052115
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide foam skin care product (e.g., soap) dispensers and corresponding compositions. An example foam skin care product dispenser includes a reservoir that holds, under pressure, a skin care product composition, including one or more propellants. During a dispense, a dispense valve is opened to release some of the skin care product composition from the reservoir into a dispensing (e.g., flow) path. Once released, the skin care product composition at least partially foams to form foamed skin care product (e.g., foamed soap).
