  • Patent number: 11593610
    Abstract: An aircraft noise monitoring system uses a set of geographically distributed noise sensors to receive data corresponding to events captured by the noise sensors. Each event corresponds to noise that exceeds a threshold level. For each event, the system will receive a classification of the event as an aircraft noise event or a non-aircraft noise event. It will then use the data corresponding to the events and the received classifications to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) in a classification process. After training, when the system receives a new noise event, it will use the CNN to classify the new noise event as an aircraft noise event or a non-aircraft noise event, and it will generate an output indicating whether the new noise event is an aircraft noise event or a non-aircraft noise event.

  • Patent number: 11301360
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, devices, and the like for generating an unobtrusive and discrete barcode used for debugging. In one embodiment, a system is introduced that enables the tracking of application interactions on a user device. The tracking can include the generation of a debug id which can include a discrete string used to describe locations, preferences, and interactions with a user device application. The string may then be converted into a corresponding barcode which can be discretely displayed on the user interface of the application. In another embodiment, the barcode may be captured and/or retrieved for use in debugging the application, in an instance where an application malfunction is encountered.

  • Publication number: 20220025864
    Abstract: A mobile electric generating system for charging vehicle batteries, providing mobile refrigeration units, and/or charge lift gates or electric pallet trucks may be wind powered. The mobile electric generating system may include a fan assembly, a fan bushing, a fan shaft, a fan locking collar, a flinger collar, a bearing, a driver bushing, a driver sheave, a motor or generator, and a motor mount. The fan assembly is connected to the generator. Wind turns or rotates the fan assembly which rotates the generator creating electricity.

  • Patent number: 11216312
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for management of unit-based virtual accelerator resources are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes obtaining multiple accelerator device resource consumption measurements, wherein the measurements represent multiple accelerator device resource types consumed by one or more accelerator devices over a defined temporal interval; computing a composite unit of measurement of accelerator device resource consumption, attributable to the one or more accelerator devices over the defined temporal interval, by normalizing the multiple accelerator device resource consumption measurements using a scaling factor that is based at least in part on one or more static aspects of the one or more accelerator devices; and outputting the composite unit of measurement to at least one user.

  • Patent number: 11175964
    Abstract: An apparatus in one embodiment comprises at least one processing device having a processor coupled to a memory configured to implement a plurality of virtual computing resources including a first subset providing a management network, a second subset providing partner zones, and a third subset providing customer service enclaves. The management network is configured to provision and control communication between partner zones and customer service enclaves. A given partner zone associated with a given partner is configured to provision partner-controlled services of the given partner to customer environments via the customer service enclaves. A given customer service enclave associated with a given customer is configured to activate the given partner for a given customer environment associated with the given customer to enable provisioning of the partner-controlled services of the given partner from the given partner zone to the given customer environment.
