Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include systems for generating personalized avatar reactions during live video broadcasts. For example, the systems and methods described herein can access a social networking system user's profile to identify an avatar associated with the social networking system user. The systems and methods can generate an avatar reaction by modifying one or more features of the avatar based on a corresponding emoticon reaction. Once generated, the social networking system user can select the avatar reaction for addition to an ephemeral reaction stream associated with a live video broadcast. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Register banks are used to allow for fast beam switching in a phased array system. Each beam forming channel is associated with a register bank containing M register sets for configuring such things as gain/amplitude and phase parameters of the beam forming channel. The register banks for all beam forming channels can be pre-programmed and then fast beam switching circuitry allows all beam forming channels across the array to be switched to use the same register set from its corresponding register bank at substantially the same time, thereby allowing the phased array system to be quickly switched between various beam patterns and orientations. Active power control circuitry may be used to control the amount of electrical power provided to or consumed by one or more individual beam forming channels such as to reduce DC power consumption of the array and/or to selectively change the effective directivity of the array.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing concise data for analyzing checker completeness, in the context of formal verification analysis of circuit designs. The methods and systems concisely report information useful to a human user (e.g., circuit designer or verification engineer) for efficiently determining what manual action should be taken next to resolve holes in verification coverage. The reported information can include lists of signals on which checkers can be written, which lists can be ranked, can be limited to a subset of interest signals, and can include corresponding cover items for each reported interest signal. The present systems and methods thereby improve on reporting provided to the user, permitting the user to more quickly advance a formal verification process toward full coverage of the relevant portions of a circuit design.

Abstract: Examples of the presently disclosed technology provide automated firmware recommendation systems that inject the intelligence of machine learning into the firmware recommendation process. To accomplish this, examples train a machine learning model on troves of historical customer firmware update data on a dynamic basis (e.g., examples may train the machine learning model on weekly basis to predict accepted firmware updates made by a vendor's customers across the most recent 6 months). From this dynamic training, the machine learning model can learn to predict/recommend an optimal firmware version for a customer/network device cluster based on firmware-related features, recent customer preferences, and other customer-specific factors. Once trained, examples can deploy the machine learning model to make highly tailored firmware recommendations for individual network device clusters of individual customers taking the above described factors into account.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and a method for addressing an error in a localization system that includes monitoring a plurality of sensors of a driver assistance system in real-time, with each sensor generating a data stream. The method further includes identifying a sensor having an anomalous data stream and calculating a primary localization and a backup localization. The primary localization calculation includes the anomalous data stream and the backup localization calculation does not include the anomalous data stream. Further, the method includes executing an action when the backup localization error estimate exceeds a threshold.

Abstract: An example methodology includes, by a computing device, determining that a reset of credentials associated with one or more service accounts is to be performed. The method also includes, by the computing device, responsive to a determination that the reset of the credentials is to be performed, shutting down instances of applications in which the one or more service accounts are used and resetting the credentials associated with the one or more service accounts, wherein resetting the credentials updates current credentials associated with the one or more service accounts to new credentials. The method further includes, by the computing device, propagating the new credentials to the applications in which the one or more service accounts are used and starting the instances of the applications in which the one or more service accounts are used, wherein the started instances of the applications use the new credentials.

Abstract: An airfoil assembly extends along a radial direction between a root and a tip, the airfoil assembly comprising: a first blade segment positioned proximate the root of the airfoil assembly; a second blade segment positioned adjacent the first blade segment along the radial direction; and a tensioning assembly comprising a plurality of tensioning strings that extend between and mechanically couple the first blade segment and the second blade segment.

Abstract: An object can be detected in contact with a steering wheel of a vehicle. A first image of the steering wheel at a first angle of rotation and a second image of the steering wheel at a second angle of rotation are then obtained. A type of the object is identified based on at least one of the first image or the second image, as one of a human hand or a foreign object. A vehicle component is controlled based on the type of object.

Abstract: Handling personally identifiable information (PII) in data streams is provided. Processed sensor data is received, from a plurality of vehicles including sensors capturing raw sensor data, the raw sensor data including captured PII and non-PII. The processed sensor data includes simulated PII created based on the captured PII and one or more layers of the captured PII corresponding to the simulated PII. A request is received from a client device for a portion of the processed sensor data. Access keys corresponding to the request are identified. A result is constructed according to the access keys using the processed sensor data. The constructed result is sent to the client device responsive to the request.

Abstract: A server determines, at a first predetermined time, a default decision as to whether to provide a first media content clip after the end of a first media content item. At a second predetermined time, after the first predetermined time, the server initiates a determination of a first decision as to whether to provide the first media content clip after the end of the first media content item. In accordance with the first decision being reached within a predetermined latency period, the server provides the first media content clip to the first electronic device in accordance with the first decision. In accordance with a determination that the predetermined latency period has elapsed without the first decision being reached, provides the first media content clip to the first electronic device in accordance with the default decision.
