  • Patent number: 10521272
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for testing applications and systems used to provide a high performance computing (HPC) system, such as a cluster or grid. A grid computing system is tested using a “shadow mode” approach, where information regarding a parallel computing job launched on a first instance of a computing grid is recorded, stored, and used to replay the parallel computing job on a second instance of the computing grid. For example, the parallel computing job may be executed using a production build of grid applications and replayed on a candidate build of grid applications. Output from executing the parallel computing job is also captured in order to provide a reference result which may be compared with candidate results generated by replaying the parallel computing job. The parallel computing job may specify a set of inputs and execution logic along with any other requirements or dependencies needed to accurately replay the parallel computing job.

  • Publication number: 20190377305
    Abstract: A hierarchical resource management system for a building includes one or more processors. The processors implement a plurality of agents that each monitor sensed values, and generate operating scenarios based on the sensed values for corresponding resources. The processors also implement a coordinator that filters the operating scenarios to remove the operating scenarios that violate internal laws of the agents to form an aggregate validated set of operating scenarios. The processors further implement a supervisor that, responsive to receipt of target conditions for the zones and the aggregate validated set of operating scenarios from the coordinator, selects a combination of the operating scenarios from the aggregate validated set of operating scenarios that achieves target conditions and minimizes overall energy consumption by the resources such that some of the operating scenarios of the combination do not minimize energy consumption of the resources corresponding to the some of the operating scenarios.

  • Patent number: 10494385
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides polymerizable luminescent dyes useful for incorporation into polymers. The dyes and the polymers can be used in sensing and imaging applications, for example, to provide accurate and optionally long term measurements of glucose in vivo. The present disclosure also provides sensors including the polymers described herein. The sensors can be implanted into a tissue of a subject and used for long-term or short-term continuous and semi-continuous collection of data of various biochemical analytes, optionally without the use of implantable hardware of any type and/or enzymatic and electrochemical detection methods.

  • Publication number: 20190364349
    Abstract: A portable audio input/output device may include one or more openings that extend through a cover of the device and allow acoustic signals outside a housing of the device to reach a microphone disposed within the housing. The opening(s) may be illuminated by a light guide disposed within the housing, which scatters light emitted from lights disposed within the housing. In some instances, a hole may pass through a printed circuit board to allow acoustic signals to be received by the microphone disposed below the printed circuit board. An input/output (I/O) interface module with multiple buttons and inputs may be installed in the hole. The multiple buttons and I/O ports of the I/O interface module may be aligned along an axis vertical relative to the housing and centered with respect to each other.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a converging duct that has combustion products flow at low mach speeds through a first portion and a high mach speeds through a second portion. The converging duct has two types of cooling schemes formed. One type of cooling scheme is beneficial for the low mach speed combustion product flow and one type of cooling scheme is beneficial for the high mach speed combustion product flow. The two cooling schemes are blended together in order increase the efficiency of the cooling of the converging duct.
