Abstract: Communication between target devices using protocol commands being carried out by a target device includes accessing a key for mapping of a plurality of defined patterns of stimuli and defined patterns of resultant protocol commands to a plurality of messages. A defined pattern of stimuli is sent from a target device to an initiator device to prompt a resultant defined pattern of protocol commands to be sent from the initiator device to all target devices that identify as the same device. The protocol commands including Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) specification compliant commands. A selected pattern of protocol command stimuli is sent from a first target device to the initiator device to prompt a resultant pattern of protocol commands from the initiator device to all target devices that identify as the same device thereby communicating the mapped message to other target devices.

Abstract: Systems and method are provided for operating a multi-array memory that includes a left memory array and a right memory array of a memory bank. A command is received at memory input pins. A signal representative of the command is propagated to an array control inhibitor. An array inhibit command is received on one or more other pins of the memory and provided to the array control inhibitor. The array control inhibitor is used to prevent arrival of the command to one of the left memory array and the right memory array based on the array inhibit command.

Abstract: A system coordinates services between users and providers. The system trains a computer model to predict a user state of a user using data about past services. The prediction is based on data associated with a request submitted by a user. Request data can include current data about the user's behavior and information about the service that is independent of the particular user behavior or characteristics. The user behavior may be compared against the user's prior behavior to determine differences in the user behavior for this request and normal behavior of prior requests. The system can alter the parameters of a service based on the prediction about the state of the user requesting the service.

Abstract: A computer system may access data corresponding to a portfolio that comprises interest rate swaps and may calculate parameters for a compressed swap. The computer system may determine, based at least in part on the parameters for the compressed swap, a performance bond requirement attributable to the interest rate swaps. The computer system may compare the performance bond requirement to account data associated with a holder of the portfolio and may perform one or more additional actions based on the comparing.

Abstract: An electronic system for a drug delivery device includes a user interface member configured for manipulation by a user to perform a dose operation.

The electronic system has a first state and a second state that has an increased electrical power consumption as compared to the first state. An electrical signaling unit is configured to provide an electrical signal indicative that the user interface member is being manipulated and to switch the electronic system from the first state into the second state in response to the electrical signal. The user interface member comprises a first portion that is movable relative to a second portion from a rest position to a signaling position. The signaling unit is configured to provide the electrical signal in response to the movement of the first portion relative to the second portion.

Abstract: A self-propelled, one-wheeled vehicle includes a suspension system configured to dampen up-and-down motion of a board relative to the axle of a central wheel assembly when the vehicle encounters obstacles (e.g., bumps) on a riding surface. Illustrative suspension systems include a shock absorber and a swingarm that couple the axle to the board. The suspension system may be disposed completely below a foot deck of the vehicle.

Abstract: A combined on-package and off-package memory system uses a custom base-layer within which are fabricated one or more dedicated interfaces to off-package memories. An on-package processor and on-package memories are also directly coupled to the custom base-layer. The custom base-layer includes memory management logic between the processor and memories (both off and on package) to steer requests. The memories are exposed as a combined memory space having greater bandwidth and capacity compared with either the off-package memories or the on-package memories alone. The memory management logic services requests while maintaining quality of service (QoS) to satisfy bandwidth requirements for each allocation. An allocation may include any combination of the on and/or off package memories. The memory management logic also manages data migration between the on and off package memories.

Abstract: To make a flavored beverage, plant matter is inserted into a bottle through the neck of the bottle. Afterwards, a generally tubular strainer is inserted into the bottle. The tubular strainer has a flange that sealingly abuts against the neck of the bottle. The bottle is filled with a water-based liquid and capped. By inserting the plant matter before the strainer, the plant matter is trapped between the strainer and the bottle wall, making it visible from the outside if the bottle is clear. The strainer prevents the plant matter from being ingested by the user.
