  • Publication number: 20210295104
    Abstract: Techniques configuring a machine learning model include receiving, via a user interface configured to communicate with a machine learning model hosted on a collaborative computing platform, a selection of a file for input to the machine learning model, a selection of content in the file for input to the machine learning model, and instructions for applying the selected content to the machine learning model, which are sent to the machine learning model. As new files are uploaded to the selected directories of the collaborative computing platform, the machine learning model is applied to the uploaded files to classify the files and extract metadata. The extracted metadata and associated classification data are stored in data structures associated with the new files. The data structures are existing data structures of the collaborative computing platform.

  • Publication number: 20210073175
    Abstract: Systems and methods that enable implementation of content aware file management labeling. Techniques disclosed enable real-time analysis of a data file so that associations between the data file and applicable file management label(s) can be automatically suggested and/or made while a user is working in the data file. A user may deploy an application on a client device to edit a data file. While the user is actively editing the data file, the application may transmit modification data to a content analysis service which analyzes the modification data to determine whether the modifications result in a file management label becoming applicable to the data file. Ultimately, the content analysis service may transmit a verdict to the client device to cause the application to display a labeling suggestion to the user and/or to automatically apply a label to the data file while it is being worked on by the user.

  • Patent number: 10803093
    Abstract: Techniques for labeling data files that enable a file management label to persist on a data file. Variations disclosed herein enable a file management label to be embedded within a data file so that the file management label propagates with the data file when the data file is copied and/or moved between systems and/or workloads. In some embodiments, an application may be configured to write the file management label directly into a stream of the data file. For example, an application client that is run locally on a client device may open the data file by accessing its corresponding stream. While the data file is open within the application client such that a user may edit content of the data file, the application client may be caused to associate the file management label with the data file. Ultimately, the application client may write this association directly into the stream.

  • Publication number: 20200064453
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes calibration methods for optoelectronic modules with active illumination, such as 3D ranging systems. Calibration methods include determining cross-talk calibration parameters for an optoelectronic module having an emitting channel and a receiving channel where the optoelectronic module is operable to demodulate modulated light incident on the receiving channel. Cross-talk calibration parameters are saved to a readable storage medium and recalled during distance measurements to an object or objects in a scene.

  • Publication number: 20180349487
    Abstract: A file disposition review system analyzes multiple productivity platforms to generate an upcoming disposition report identifying data files that have reached a disposition review age associated with a file management label. A cross-platform manual review (CPMR) portal enables concurrent examination of file property data for data files identified in the upcoming disposition report. The CPMR portal further enables the disposition manager to simultaneously examine file property data corresponding to the data files identified in the upcoming disposition report and to issue disposition instructions. Exemplary disposition instructions may cause the multiple productivity platforms to permanently delete the identified data files without their underlying file content ever being transferred and/or copied from the particular productivity platforms that individual ones of the identified data files correspond to.

  • Patent number: 9879440
    Abstract: Poles of this invention have an annular body with a wall structure comprising a number of fiber reinforced resin layers, which can be positioned to form an inside and/or outside portion of the wall structure. A portion of the layers are oriented longitudinally within the wall structure, and the wall structure also includes radially-oriented fiber reinforced resin layers. The pole includes one or more layers or a core of a composite material or polymer mortar disposed within one or more locations of the wall structure, e.g., as an intermediate layer and/or as part of the wall inside and/or outside portion. The pole can include an outside surface resistant to ultra violet radiation. Poles of this invention can be formed using a continuous process on a rotating mandrel, making use of differently positioned stations to form the different portions of the pole as the fabrication is moved axially along the mandrel.

  • Patent number: 9427820
    Abstract: In some aspects, methods of initiating a plasma arc in a plasma cutting system can include providing a plasma gas supply lead line extending between a power supply and a plasma arc cutting torch, where the lead line has a first segment proximate to the power supply and a second segment proximate to the torch, and an in-line valve within the lead line between the first segment and the second segment; selectively closing the in-line valve to capture a static volume of gas in the first segment; establishing a decayable volume of gas in the second segment; and initiating the plasma arc when a pressure of the decayable volume reaches a pressure value within a predetermined range.
