  • Patent number: 11755454
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are provided for facilitating improved defect resolution. Defect information and defect criteria information may be obtained. The defect information may identify defects of software and/or hardware in development. The defect criteria information may define one or more criteria for measuring the defects. The defects may be measured based on the one or more criteria. A defect analysis interface may be provided. The defect analysis interface may list a limited number of the defects based on the measurements of the defects. The defect analysis interface may provide costs (e.g., computing resources, time, personnel) of solving the defects.

  • Publication number: 20220304285
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for measuring population size for a plurality of clonal cell populations in the same individual, e.g., for measuring tumor size for a plurality of clonally independent tumors within the same individual. A subject method can include: (a) contacting an individual with a plurality of cell markers that are heritable and distinguishable from one another, to generate a plurality of distinguishable lineages of heritably marked cells; (b) after sufficient time has passed for the heritably marked cells to undergo at least one round of division, detecting and measuring quantities of at least two of the plurality of cell markers present in the contacted tissue, thereby generating a set of measured values: and (c) using the set of measured values to calculate the number of heritably marked cells that are present (e.g., for at least two of the distinguishable lineages of heritably marked cells).

  • Patent number: 11163302
    Abstract: Systems and methods to improve controllability of an aerial vehicle responsive to degraded operational conditions are described. For example, one or more propeller blades of an aerial vehicle may be modifiable between two or more configurations. The configurations may include a low torque configuration suitable for normal operational conditions, and a high torque configuration suitable for degraded operational conditions. Various aspects or portions of a propeller blade may be modified to increase torque generated by the propeller blade due to drag or air resistance. The additional generated torque may then be used as a source of additional torque to improve controllability of the aerial vehicle responsive to degraded operational conditions.

  • Patent number: 10876920
    Abstract: Flow conditions affecting an aerial vehicle may be determined using one or more auxiliary aerial vehicles, which may be outfitted with one or more airspeed sensors and other systems for modeling air flow within a vicinity of the aerial vehicle. With the auxiliary aerial vehicles operating in selected positions or formations with respect to the aerial vehicle, the aerial vehicle may perform one or more testing evolutions requiring the operation of any propulsion motors, control surfaces or other systems. Flow conditions during the testing evolutions may be modeled based on data captured by sensors aboard the auxiliary aerial vehicles, and the modeled flow conditions may be used to determine whether the testing evolutions were successfully completed by the aerial vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20070088887
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for the handling of interrupts by the disabled logical processors of an information handling system or computer system. An interrupt service routine is written to the read-only portion of system memory. Upon receipt of an interrupt, each disabled logical processor branches to the hard coded interrupt service routine. The interrupt service routine can be written to read only memory because the context, current instruction, and return state of the disabled logical processor are known, and the disabled logical processor will not need to write to system memory during the execution of the interrupt service routine. Following the handling of the interrupt by another logical processor of the computer system, each disabled logical processor returns to the halt state.
