Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for monitoring tire aging with respect to a motor vehicle and/or across vehicle fleets. A computing device (e.g., cloud server) is linked to vehicle-mounted data acquisition devices which provide signals corresponding to ambient temperature and contained air temperatures for respective tires. The computing device ascertains oxidative aging characteristics for the tires, based on at least the collected ambient temperature and respective contained air temperature, and respective rates of accumulation thereof with respect to time and/or distance traveled, and further ascertains the oxidative aging characteristics for each tire with respect to a fixed reference ambient temperature, and respective rates of accumulation thereof with respect to time and/or distance traveled. Selectively generated output signals correspond to monitored characteristics and respective rates of accumulation thereof for the respective tires.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing speed thresholds for a fleet of vehicles are disclosed. Input is used to provide associations between particular weather-relation conditions (such as rain) and arithmetic operations, that may be used to determine a current speed threshold as a function of a local posted speed limit at the current location of a vehicle. The current speed threshold is subsequently used to detect whether vehicles are exceeding the current speed threshold.

Abstract: Feeds in a network-based marketplace are described. The system receives a request, over a network, from a user that is associated with feed selection information, and identifies source feeds based on the feed selection information. The source feeds respectively include a first plurality of content elements. The system generates a presentation feed by retrieving a second plurality of content elements from the source feeds. The generating is performed continuously and in real-time. The system segments the presentation feed into pages and generates interfaces that include a first interface based on the pages. The system communicates the first interface, over the network, to the user, responsive to the receiving of the request.

Abstract: A cyber threat defense system can incorporate data from a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application hosted by a third-party operator platform to identify cyber threats related to that SaaS application. The cyber threat defense module can have a SaaS module to collect third-party event data from the third-party operator platform. The cyber threat defense system can have a comparison module to compare third-party event data for a network entity to at least one machine-learning model of a network entity using a normal behavior benchmark to spot behavior deviating from normal benign behavior. The comparison module can identify whether the network entity is in a breach state. The cyber threat defense system can have a cyber threat module to identify whether the breach state and a chain of relevant behavioral parameters correspond to a cyber threat. An autonomous response module can execute an autonomous response in response to the cyber threat.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods can be related power down workload estimations using artificial neural networks. Workload estimation can include predicting a duration of a subsequent power down event of the memory device. A quantity of maintenance operations to be performed on the memory device, may be predicted based on the predicted duration of the subsequent power down event, when the memory device is powered on after the subsequent power down event using an artificial neural network. The quantity of maintenance operations may be performed on the memory device prior to the subsequent power down event of the memory device.

Abstract: A total power requirement for a plurality of memory operations is estimated. It is determined that the total power requirement would meet a power budget. In response to determining that the total power requirement would meet the power budget, a power profile identifier associated with a first operation of the plurality of memory operations is adjusted. The first operation and the power profile identifier are issued to a memory device. The power profile identifier is used by the memory device to regulate an amount of power used when performing the first operation.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for multiple flash translation layers (FTLs) at a memory device are described to support two or more FTLs within a memory device. A first FTL may be configured to support data mapping using a defined granularity and a second FTL may be configured to support data mapping using a smaller granularity than the defined granularity or data that does not match the defined granularity, based on one or more characteristics of the data. A memory device may select between the FTLs to map data based on the one or more characteristics of the data and may write the data to the memory device. The memory device may store logical-to-physical mapping associated with the data, among other information, using the selected FTL.

Abstract: Techniques for framing data in various data transmission contexts are described. A data framing technique may include a transmitter sending a data stream including repeating bits in alternating forward and reverse order. A receiver of the data stream may fold the data stream, and correlate portions of the folded data stream for purposes of validating the data stream and/or identifying an ID in the data stream. In at least some instances, once the receiver validates the data stream, the receiver may accept payload accompanying the data stream.

Abstract: The invention relates to various rotational action audio transducer embodiments having a diaphragm structure including a single or multiple diaphragms. A diaphragm suspension rotatably mounts the diaphragm structure to a base structure. In some embodiments, the diaphragm suspension may be made from soft and/or damped materials. In some embodiments, the location of an axis of rotation of the diaphragm is determined based on a node axis of the diaphragm. A transducing mechanism of the audio transducer cooperates with the moving diaphragm to transduce sound. The mechanism may comprise a moving magnet design in some embodiments, or a moving coil design in others.
