  • Publication number: 20200162290
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to adjust a differential transmitter output impedance is disclosed. Output voltage is sampled and averaged to mitigate noise and leakage. Averaged uplevel and downlevel voltages are used to select a number of pullup devices and a number of pulldown devices to control the differential transmitter output impedance to match a distal termination resistance or a transmission line impedance.

  • Publication number: 20200117758
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for enhancing dynamically enhancing query results. A processor(s) monitors computing activities performed by a user, via a client. The processor(s) analyzes the computing activities to identify data comprising a user profile: elements relevant to the user and relationships. The processor(s) generates a knowledge graph with the data. The processor(s) obtains input from the user. The processor(s) executes one or more queries on one or more data sources to retrieve standard search results. The processor(s) analyzes the input and the search results to identify segments of the input and the search results relevant to items comprising the data in the graph and defines links between the items, the data, and the segments. The processor(s) generates contextual search results that include the standard search results, a portion of the items, and a portion of the links and transmits the contextual search results, to the client.

  • Publication number: 20190323986
    Abstract: A gas sensor includes a sensing element having an electrochemical cell and a reference gas channel in fluid communication with a reference electrode. A shield of the gas sensor is made of a metal material, the shield being hollow such that a chamber is located within the shield and such that the shield has an inner surface and an outer surface, the electrochemical cell being located outside of the chamber and the reference gas channel being in fluid communication with the chamber which provides fluid communication from the chamber to the reference electrode. The shield has a reference gas aperture extending through the metal material from the outer surface to the inner surface such that the reference gas aperture permits a reference gas to flow into the chamber while preventing liquid water from entering the chamber.

  • Patent number: 10387553
    Abstract: A tool is provided for document or design code completion. The tool includes a storage element in which common and user-specific unfinished work indicators are stored in first and second databases, respectively, a search element and a processor. The search element is disposed to identify unfinished work in documents by searching for matches of first text within the documents with second text of the common and user-specific work indicators in the first and second databases. The processor is configured to create a third database including the second text and pertinent sections of the documents. The pertinent sections are respectively associated with the second text and verifiably marked as unfinished by natural language processing of the first and second text by the processor. The processor is further configured to update the first and second databases based on results of the natural language processing.
