  • Publication number: 20190306278
    Abstract: An accessed indicator is encoded in a uniform resource locator (URL) of a first request message, for a first action, to determine if a first request is for a native behavior that provides client-side platform specific actions implemented by the client device that has client-side resources instead of a server in communication with the client device. The first request message represents the first request to access the native behavior. The first action is implemented using a client-side resource of the client device without transmitting the first request from the client device to the server that the first request was originally destined for. A second request message with a second request specifying a second action is intercepted. It is determined that the second action cannot be performed by any of the client-side resources of the client device. The second request specifying the second action is transmitted from the client device to the server.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods enable active compensation for unwanted discrepancies in the superconducting elements of a quantum processor. A qubit may include a primary compound Josephson junction (CJJ) structure, which may include at least a first secondary CJJ structure to enable compensation for Josephson junction asymmetry in the primary CJJ structure. A qubit may include a series LC-circuit coupled in parallel with a first CJJ structure to provide a tunable capacitance. A qubit control system may include means for tuning inductance of a qubit loop, for instance a tunable coupler inductively coupled to the qubit loop and controlled by a programming interface, or a CJJ structure coupled in series with the qubit loop and controlled by a programming interface.

  • Patent number: 10367920
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating native client device application interaction with a web application. An example method includes monitoring request messages output from the web application; determining one or more of the request messages include an indication that the one or more request messages represent a request to implement an action that can be performed via one or more resources of a client device, and providing a signal in response thereto; and implementing the action in response to the signal. In a more specific embodiment, the method further includes employing a client request interceptor in communication with the web application to forward requests output by the web application and determined by the interceptor to be requests for native content or functionality to a native behavior dispatcher, which communicates with a native container application to facilitate implementing the action.

  • Patent number: 10337883
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide accurate attitude estimation for a mobile structure. An attitude estimation system includes a logic device in communication with a gyroscope, an accelerometer, and/or a speed sensor. Sensor signals provided by the various sensors are used to determine an estimated absolute coordinate frame relative to the mobile structure, which can be referenced to the Earth's gravity. Angular velocities provided by the gyroscope are transformed to the estimated absolute coordinate frame and used to determine a stabilized attitude estimate for the mobile structure. The stabilized attitude estimate may be displayed to a user, used to calculate a heading or route for the mobile structure, and/or used to adjust a steering actuator, a propulsion system thrust, and/or other operational systems of the mobile structure.

  • Patent number: 10338593
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide accurate positioning for a hydraulic steering system without a need for a steering reference transducer. A hydraulic steering system may include a logic device in communication with an autopilot pump controller. Control and sensor signals provided by the pump controller are used to determine a linear or uncompensated steering actuator speed and an estimate of the hydraulic elasticity of the steering system, which can be modeled as an estimate of the air volume trapped within the steering system. The hydraulic elasticity/air volume estimate is used to determine a corrected or compensated steering actuator speed, and the corrected steering actuator speed is used to accurately control the steering system.
