Abstract: An autonomous probing system includes a computer, a probe assembly, a PLC, and an optical sensor. The optical sensor captures image data of a probing environment. The probe assembly includes a moveable probe portion and a sensor. The probe portion is moveable between a first and second position. The sensor has a first sensor value that is indicative of the first position. The computer receives image data from the optical sensor and detects a vehicle positioned within the probing environment. The computer then determines one or more target areas within the vehicle and an X coordinate position and a Y coordinate position of one or more probe target points within each of the target areas. Based on the first sensor value and the X and Y coordinate positions, the computer determines a second sensor value, which is indicative of the second position and transmits the value to the PLC.

Abstract: The present teaching relates to managing computing resources. In one example, information about resource utilization on a computing node is received from the computing node. Available resource on the computing node is determined based on the information. A model generated in accordance with reinforcement learning based on simulated training data is obtained. An adjusted available resource is generated based on the available resource and the model with respect to the computing node. The adjusted available resource is sent to a scheduler for scheduling one or more jobs to be executed on the computing node based on the adjusted available resource.

Abstract: A high-bandwidth adaptive cache reduces unnecessary cache accesses by providing a laundry counter indicating whether a given adaptive cache region has any dirty frames to allow write-back without a preparatory adaptive cache read. An optional laundry list allows the preparatory adaptive cache read to also be avoided if the tags of the data being written back match all tags of the data in the adaptive cache that is dirty.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an irregularly shaped forging includes heating a billet to a predetermined temperature, placing the heated billet within the cavity of a die, advancing a punch into the cavity to begin to disperse the material into a plurality of radially extending extremities of the cavity and continuing to advance the punch into the die to force a portion of the material to enter predetermined clearance zones between the punch and the die to form an irregularly shaped forging having a plurality of axially extending flash portions.

Abstract: A system (200) for capturing visual information of a device is provided. The system comprises a simulator (202), and a visual information module (204). The simulator is configured to generate a simulation of the operation of the device. The visual information module is configured to capture visual information of the device, based on the simulation. The visual information comprises at least one of, an image and a video of the device.

Abstract: A method for preselecting resources in a personal area network includes providing (300) a plurality of communication devices with sharable resources on the personal area network. One of the communication devices is a radiotelephone used for preselecting (302) the resources for a particular personal area network configuration. These preselected resources are assigned (304) a named profile on the radiotelephone. A user can then select (306) the profile as a menu item or by a voice tag. The radiotelephone then automatically coordinates information transfer protocols (308) with the resources in the personal area network per the selected profile. The profile is used to quickly define and coordinate resources in a personal area network to suit a user's changing environment.
