Abstract: Reservations of resources within a dynamic workspace are made and facilitated including by pushing configurations specific to a worker for whom a reservation is made to the resource for a limited time period for the reservation. When the worker arrives for the reservation and checks in, configurations associated with the worker are obtained and pushed to the resource to configure the resource for use by the worker for a time period of the reservation. In some cases, an identity of the worker may be verified to complete the check in process for the reservation. In response to an end time of the reservation being determined, such as based on a scheduled end time for the reservation or based on a determination that the resource has gone unused for some amount of time, the configurations are removed from the resource to prepare the resource for use by a next worker.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that automatically classify, segment, and parse content data using artificial intelligence and natural language processing technology, and generate graphical user interfaces that allow end users to dynamically filter content data for display. The systems processes volumes of content data to identify interrogative data, content sources that generated the interrogative data, and subject identifiers relating to the content data. The system generates graphical user interfaces that allow end users to effectively filter the data by choosing between layouts that display one or more of the various categories of data, including the interrogative data, content source identifiers, and/or subject identifiers.

Abstract: The future presence of a worker in a dynamic workspace which includes resources for temporary use may be signaled to other workers. In response a first worker making a reservation of a resource, a second worker to indicate the future presence of that first worker to is determined based on communication records associated with the first worker and the second worker. An indication of the reservation of the resource for the first worker, and thus the future presence of that first worker in an office which includes that reserved resource, is accordingly signaled to the second worker. A suggested resource for the second worker may then be determined based on the reservation of the resource for the first worker. In response to the second worker making a reservation of the suggested resource, a reservation record indicating the reservation of the suggested resource for the second worker may then be generated.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing cryptographic keys in a multi-tenant cloud based system. Embodiments receive from a client a request for a wrapped data encryption key (“DEK”). Embodiments generate a random key and fetch encryption context that corresponds to the client. Embodiments generate the wrapped DEK including the random key and the encryption context encoded in the wrapped DEK. Embodiments then return the wrapped DEK to the client.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a power-supply controller includes a control circuit, a drive circuit, and a signal-drop-reducing circuit. The control circuit is configured to generate a drive signal having a duty cycle, and the drive circuit is configured to cause a phase circuit of a power supply to generate, in response to the drive signal, an output signal having a magnitude. And the signal-drop-reducing circuit is configured to disable the driver circuit in response to the duty cycle corresponding to a signal magnitude that is lower than the magnitude of the output signal. For example, where a power supply has a non-zero residual output signal (e.g., output voltage) on its output node after the power supply is deactivated, such a power-supply controller can reduce or eliminate a drop in the residual output signal caused by, or that would be caused by, a restarting of the power supply.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method includes generating a pulse-width-modulated signal having a duty cycle, and isolating a power-supply output node in response to the duty cycle corresponding to a signal magnitude that is less than a magnitude of an output signal on the power-supply output node. For example, where a power supply has a non-zero residual output signal (e.g., output voltage) on its output node after the power supply is deactivated, a power-supply controller can use such a technique to reduce or eliminate a drop in the residual output signal caused by, or that would be caused by, a restarting of the power supply.

Abstract: A system providing a driver of an electric vehicle with the ability to exchange a depleted battery with a charged battery. Information regarding the status of an electric battery is transmitted to service stations, and information is returned to a driver indicating the location of a service station with a charged battery. The driver enters the station and is automatically positioned next to a rotating carousel. A robotic arm removes the depleted battery from the vehicle and pulls it onto the carousel, which rotates and deposits the battery onto a return conveyor belt, which carries the battery to a transportation platform for movement to a battery rack for charging. The transportation platform removes a charged battery from the battery rack and carries it to an outgoing conveyor belt, which carries it to the carousel, which rotates until the battery is next to the vehicle for insertion by the robotic arm.
