Abstract: The following relates generally to providing virtual reality (VR) alerts to a driver of an autonomous vehicle. For example, a vehicle may be driving autonomously while the driver is watching a VR movie (e.g., on a pair of VR goggles); the driver may then receive a VR alert recommending that the driver take control of the vehicle (e.g., switch the vehicle from autonomous to manual mode). The following also relates to generating a VR feed for presenting real-time road conditions so that a user may preview a road segment. The following also relates to generating a VR feed corresponding to an event (e.g., a vehicle collision, a crime, a weather event, and/or a natural disaster).

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to using an instruction (e.g., a pre-translate instruction) to lock translations in TLB entries. The execution of the instruction may include storing translation information in a TLB entry, and setting an indication that the entry is locked. The processor circuitry may receive an invalidate command corresponding to the locked entry. Processor circuitry may, in response to the invalidate command and based on the indication that the entry is locked, maintain the locked entry in a valid state in the translation lookaside buffer circuitry, notwithstanding the invalidate command. Processor circuitry may be further configured to modify previously-stored data in a given entry to aggregate, in the entry, translation information for multiple regions of the second address space.

Abstract: A system and methods for multi-type data compression or decompression with a virtual management layer in a distributed computing environment, comprising. It incorporates a virtual management layer to organize incoming data types and allocate compression or decompression tasks across multiple computing devices, selecting techniques best suited for particular data types. Associated data sets may be flagged prior to processing, ensuring preservation of relationships even when compressed or decompressed on different devices. This distributed approach allows efficient parallel processing of multiple data types, improving scalability and performance. A load balancing module optimizes task distribution based on available resources and processing requirements. The system enables each data type to be processed using the most efficient technique while maintaining associations between related data sets, effectively handling larger volumes of diverse data.

Abstract: A novel architecture for a data sharing system (DSS) is disclosed and seeks to ensure the privacy and security of users' personal information. In this type of network, a user's personally identifiable information is stored and transmitted in an encrypted form, with few exceptions. The only key with which that encrypted data can be decrypted, and thus viewed, remains in the sole possession of the user and the user's friends/contacts within the system. This arrangement ensures that a user's personally identifiable information cannot be examined by anyone other than the user or his friends/contacts. This arrangement also makes it more difficult for the web site or service hosting the DSS to exploit its users' personally identifiable information. Such a system facilitates the encryption, storage, exchange and decryption of personal, confidential and/or proprietary data.

Abstract: Various embodiments relate to intelligently activating and deactivating a trading tool element of a trading tool to improve a user's confidence in the trading tool. By dynamically activating and deactivating elements on the trading screen, the trading tool effectively increases a user's confidence in placing a trading order, canceling a trade order, or both, for example, by eliminating or reducing undesirable options. Undesirable options might include those that are risky, contrary to a particular trading strategy, would result in a loss of money, and so on. Such an embodiment can improve the overall speed at which a user places or cancels a trade order by, among other things, effectively increasing the user's overall confidence in the trading tool.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system perform key moment-based snippet creation. The method comprises locating, automatically via at least one processor, a key moment of a call in a representation of the call and creating, automatically via the at least one processor, a snippet of the representation of the call based on the key moment located. The snippet includes the key moment and context for the key moment. The context includes a lead portion and a lag portion. The lead portion precedes the key moment, and the lag portion follows the key moment in the representation of the call. The key moment may be an utterance identified by an artificial (AI) model as having a positive or negative impact on an outcome effectuated by the call. The snippet, including the key moment, may serve as a learning tool to coach a user in a manner that improves an outcome of a next call. Such coaching may be referred to as AI-driven coaching.

Abstract: A generator, ultrasonic device, and method for controlling a temperature of an ultrasonic blade are disclosed. A control circuit coupled to a memory determines an actual resonant frequency of an ultrasonic electromechanical system comprising an ultrasonic transducer coupled to an ultrasonic blade by an ultrasonic waveguide. The actual resonant frequency is correlated to an actual temperature of the ultrasonic blade. The control circuit retrieves from the memory a reference resonant frequency of the ultrasonic electromechanical system. The reference resonant frequency is correlated to a reference temperature of the ultrasonic blade. The control circuit then infers the temperature of the ultrasonic blade based on the difference between the actual resonant frequency and the reference resonant frequency.

Abstract: A nutless bolt 10 for fastening a wear plate 12 to a structure 14 comprises a body 16 having a shaft 18 and a stop 20 coupled to the shaft 18. Shaft 18 is dimensioned to pass through a hole 22 in structure 14 while stop 20 is configured to stop the body 16 from falling wholly into or through the hole 22, and to engage with the wear surface plate.
