Abstract: A synchronization service synchronizes a source dataset on a source database and target dataset on a target database using the Rateless Invertible Bloom Lookup Table (IBLT) algorithm. The synchronization service iteratively requests coded symbols from the source database and target database generated at these databases according to the Rateless IBLT algorithm implemented using a relational database management system. The synchronization service attempts to decode the coded symbols at each iteration. When decoding succeeds, the synchronization service communicates differences between the source dataset and the target dataset indicated in the decoded symbols to the source database and/or the target database for dataset reconciliation.

Abstract: A radio-controlled (RC) motorcycle is disclosed with a chassis, a rear wheel, and a steerable front wheel assembly. The motorcycle includes an attitude estimator that uses rotation and acceleration data from an IMU to estimate an inertial attitude of the motorcycle. A receiver is connected to a control processor and receives a steering input from an RC transmitter. The control processor determines a desired roll angle based at least in part on the steering input from the receiver; determines a reported roll angle from the attitude estimate; and controls a steering angle of the front wheel assembly to reduce the difference (or reduce error) between the desired roll angle and the reported roll angle.

Abstract: An interactive portrait system includes a camera configured to capture imagery of an environment and a controller. The controller is configured to analyze the imagery to identify a guest in the environment, instruct an output device to provide an initial output to attempt to interact with the guest, and analyze the imagery to identify a behavior of the guest during the initial output, after the initial output, or both. The controller is also configured to evaluate the behavior of the guest using one or more artificial intelligence algorithms to determine whether the guest responded to the initial output. The controller is further configured to, in response to determining that the guest responded to the initial output, instruct the output device to provide an additional output to continue to attempt to interact with the guest.
