  • LASER PLUMB BOB AND LEVEL AID
    Publication number: 20200116485
    Abstract: A plumb-bob device has an enclosure with three lasers projecting from one end, one of which projects a horizontal lane, one in a vertical plane, and one with crossed planes from a laser that is suspended to swing but not rotate about an axis. The device may be attached to an object to be leveled or plumbed, and moving the object until the lasers coincide accomplishes plumbing the object.

  • PREDICTION EXPLAINER FOR ENSEMBLE LEARNING
    Publication number: 20200097858
    Abstract: A method of explaining the reasons for a prediction made by a machine learning ensemble prediction process as to the probability of an outcome for a target observation following training on a plurality of training observations determines the similarity between the target observation and each training observation of a set of said training observations; selects a fraction of the training observations that are most similar to said target observation; ranks the training observations by similarity of each training observation to the target observation; and determines the significance of the features of the ranked training observations to the prediction based upon the increase in variance in a local prediction model when a feature is removed from the local model.

  • HUMIDIFIER RESERVOIR
    Publication number: 20200086073
    Abstract: A reservoir configured to retain a volume of liquid for use in an apparatus for humidifying a flow of pressurised air comprises a base portion and a lid portion. The reservoir may be configured to improve its level of thermal contact to the heater plate using the flow of pressurised air. The reservoir may be configured to improve thermal contact between the reservoir and the heater plate by pre-compression upon engagement of the reservoir with the humidifier. The reservoir may comprise a removable intermediate portion, which may include the inlet tube and/or the outlet tube, for improved access for cleaning. The reservoir may also be configured to prevent overfilling. Overfill prevention features in the reservoir may include defined flow egress paths and/or formation of air locks.

  • ARCHITECTURE FOR SCALABLE METADATA MICROSERVICES ORCHESTRATION
    Publication number: 20200019622
    Abstract: A deduplicated microservices-based storage system and method running in a cloud includes frontend and backend microservice nodes that process requests from a plurality of clients and interface with a master node and one or more worker nodes connected as a network for deduplicating, storing and retrieving data from object storage. A custom metric compares demand on system resources to thresholds and dynamically scales resources to add or eliminate resources according to demand. The master node partitions the range of values identifying data similarity groups across the worker nodes, reassigns ranges of values using consistent hashing as worker nodes are scaled, and maintains a mapping of ranges of values to worker IP addresses.

  • Combined Read/Write Cache for Deduplicated Metadata Service
    Publication number: 20200019330
    Abstract: In a method of processing data similarity groups, a combined read/write cache comprises an in-memory data structure having a fixed allocation of physical memory that includes a write portion comprising memory allocated to write entries and a read portion comprising memory allocated to read entries. Similarity group entries are written into the cache using keys based upon an identifier of a similarity group, and similarity group entries are read from the cache using keys based upon both similarity group and subgroup identifiers. The sizes of memory allocated to the write portion and to the read portion are dynamically varied within the fixed memory allocation based upon demand while maintaining the fixed memory allocation constant.

  • DETECTING ERASURE GESTURES IN AN ELECTRONIC PRESENTATION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20190187890
    Abstract: A presentation system capable of detecting one or more gestures and contacts on a touch sensitive display. The presentation system can display indicia of such contacts, such as when a user writes with a fingertip, and can remove or alter such indicia responsive to other gestures and contacts. The system can accurately distinguish between types of gestures detected, such as between a writing gesture and an erasing gesture, on both large and small touch sensitive displays, thereby obviating the need for a user to make additional selective inputs to transition from one type of gesture to another.
