Abstract: A high efficiency turf maintenance apparatus having low power consumption and good cutting performance is presented herein. A blade configuration is disclosed to provide lift and to propel turf clippings from within a mow deck through a discharge opening therein. A discharge body can receive turf clippings at an input and direct the turf clippings to an output. A bagging apparatus can be coupled to the discharge body output for a bagging mode, a side-rear diverter can be coupled to the discharge body output for a discharge mode, and a mulching plug can cover the discharge body output for a mulching mode.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for content quasi-personalization or anonymized content retrieval via aggregated browsing history of a large plurality of devices, such as millions or billions of devices. A sparse matrix may be constructed from the aggregated browsing history, and dimensionally reduced, reducing entropy and providing anonymity for individual devices. Relevant content may be selected via quasi-personalized clusters representing similar browsing histories, without exposing individual device details to content providers.

Abstract: A high efficiency turf maintenance apparatus having low power consumption and good cutting performance is presented herein. A multi-blade blade assembly is disclosed to reduce power consumed in driving the blade assembly and enhance longevity of a dischargeable power supply. In some aspects described herein, a first blade of the multi-blade assembly can have a first length that is greater than a second length of a second blade. Further, the first blade or the second blade can be substantially bilaterally symmetric about a rotation axis of the multi-blade assembly. In alternative or additional aspects, the second blade can provide lift within a deck of the high efficiency turf maintenance apparatus to propel turf clippings from within the mow deck through a discharge opening therein.

Abstract: A system may include one or more of a called device, a calling device, configured to call the called device, and a network module. The network module is configured to process incoming call information of a call placed to the called device and configured to route the call to a destination based on preferences of the called device.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell pack includes a housing having an interior space; a plurality of electrochemical cells disposed within the interior space; and a working fluid disposed within the interior space such that the electrochemical cells are in thermal communication with the working fluid. The working fluid has a dielectric constant of less than 3 and a dipole moment of less than 1.5 D.

Abstract: The disclosure herein describes using probabilistic cardinality generation to partition time series data into subsets without entries that have duplicate time index values. Time series data including a plurality of categories and a time index category is obtained. Cardinality estimate values of the categories are generated using a probabilistic cardinality estimator and a candidate category is selected based on the cardinality estimate value of the selected candidate category. A time series identifier is generated using the candidate category and, based on the cardinality estimate value of the time series identifier indicating that subsets of the time series data partitioned based on the time series identifier lack entries with duplicate time index values, the time series data is partitioned into a set of time series grain data sets. The time series grain data sets can be used to train models using machine learning techniques.

Abstract: In non-limiting examples, passive information is used to verify the location of a client computing device and to create segment categories for directed information using location-based services and/or applications. In aspects, passive information is received from a client computing device. The client computing device is detected as being located at a predicted venue using the passive information. It may be determined whether directed information associated with the predicted venue has been displayed at an earlier time on a predetermined portion of the client computing device. In response to determining directed information associated with the predicted venue has been displayed on the predetermined portion of the client computing device, a statistical model may be applied to calculate a confidence score that the client computing device is located at the predicted venue. When the confidence score meets a predetermined threshold, a directed information conversion record may be stored in a data store.

Abstract: A manually operable disinfection wand provides to a user feedback indicating effectiveness of disinfection during treatment of a target surface. The disinfection wand comprises an illuminator section having an illuminator light source, a handle section, a coupling mechanism, and a position sensor. The coupling mechanism enables a user to rotate an illuminator cover in the illuminator section relative to the handle section to selectively allow passing of light emitted by the illuminator light source for incidence on the target surface. The illuminator cover can be rotated relative to the handle section also to block the light emitted by the illuminator light source. The position sensor is placed in the disinfection wand to produce for observation by the user a signal that is indicative of speed of motion of the disinfection wand and thereby its effectiveness in disinfecting the target surface.

Abstract: A network-based service may be provided for facilitating queries for a number of items, such as travel services. A user may submit a query including criteria for determining one or more relevant items. Based on the submitted query, the network-based service may present the user with information regarding the actions of other similar users of the network-based service, such as searches performed by the other users. Based on this information, the user may elect to supplement the current query to conform to the actions for other users. In some embodiments, actions by other users may be based at least in part on a category of the querying user. By presenting actions of similar users, a current user may be enabled to select the most relevant query terms for identifying a desired item.
