  • Patent number: 10946951
    Abstract: An aircraft (5) including a wing (3) and a winglet (1) at the end of the wing, the winglet including: a root (7); a tip (9); a transition region (11) extending away from the root; and a wing-like region (13) extending from the distal end of the transition region to the tip. When the aircraft wing (3) is under the worst-case static loading, the tip of the winglet is located at the maximum spanwise extent of the winglet (1), but when the aircraft wing (3) is under the no-load condition, the wing-like region (13) is canted inboard such that the tip (9) of the winglet (1) is located inboard of the maximum spanwise extent of the winglet.

  • Publication number: 20210011616
    Abstract: Techniques for edit experience for transformation of digital content are delivered in a digital medium environment. According to various implementations, an image editor system receives edits to a digital image to transform the digital image and generate an edited image. An edit experience is then generated that is presentable to recreate the image transformation process. The image editor system outputs the edit experience to enable a user to interact with the edit experience to reproduce the image transformation, such as via a step-by-step process. In at least some implementations, edits to a particular digital image are saved as presets that can be suggested for editing other images, such as images that are determined to be similar to an edited image.

  • Patent number: 10726975
    Abstract: A coated electrical accessory includes a bare electrical accessory and a substantially inorganic and dried coating layer coating the bare electrical accessory. The coating layer includes a heat radiating agent and a binder.

  • Patent number: 10679195
    Abstract: A method of processing a payment instruction including: receiving a payment instruction from a user, the payment instruction including payment details and an electronic signature, the electronic signature being destroyed if the content of payment instruction is altered; checking presence of the electronic signature and confirming integrity of the payment instruction when the electronic signature is present; wherein in event the integrity of the payment instruction is confirmed, the method: i) stores the payment instruction in a first storage unit using a relational database management system (RDBMS); ii) replicates the payment instruction and stores the replicated payment instruction in a second storage unit using the RDBMS; and iii) transmits an acknowledgement signal to the user once the payment instruction has been successfully stored in the first storage unit and the replicated payment instruction has been successfully stored in the second storage unit.

  • Patent number: 10560308
    Abstract: Systems are provided for logging transactions in heterogeneous networks that include a combination of one or more instrumented components and one or more non-instrumented components. The instrumented components are configured to generate impersonated log records for the non-instrumented components involved in the transaction processing hand-offs with the instrumented components. The impersonated log records are persisted with other log records that are generated by the instrumented components in a transaction log that is maintained by a central logging system to reflect a complete flow of the transaction processing performed on the object, including the flow through the non-instrumented component(s).

  • Publication number: 20200005045
    Abstract: Techniques for implementing a feature generation pipeline for machine learning are provided. In one technique, multiple jobs are executed, each of which computes a different set of feature values for a different feature of multiple features associated with videos. A feature registry is stored that lists each of the multiple features. After the jobs are executed and the feature registry is stored, a model specification is received that indicates a set of features for a model. For each feature in a subset of the set of features, a location is identified in storage where a value for said each feature is found and the value for that feature is retrieved from the location. A feature vector is created that comprises, for each feature in the set of features, the value that corresponds to that feature. The feature vector is used to train the model or as input to the model.
