Abstract: Automatically identifying context-specific repeated transformations (such as repeated edit tasks) that are based on observation of the developer drafting or modifying code. As the developer modifies the code, the code passes through a series of states, one after the other. The computing system observes the series of states of the code. It is based on this observation that the computing system identifies repeated transformations of the code for potentially offering to continue performing the repeated transformations for the user. This alleviates the developer from having to manually perform the remainder of the repeated transformations.

Abstract: A battery that periodically checks an actual battery capacity or energy with charge to a preset voltage (e.g., 4.1 V). The battery then decides the battery capacity or energy. If the capacity or energy is insufficient, then an apparatus in or associated with the battery slightly increases charging voltage to a point where the capacity is sufficient (e.g. from 4.1 V to 4.11 V). The process of periodically checking and slightly increasing charging voltage is performed until charging voltage reaches specification limit (e.g., 4.2 V). The scheme described herein has benefits such as battery longevity can be extended, risk of insufficient energy reserve can be reduced, burst power can be used as long as possible, and/or even higher burst power can be used.

In some examples, a method may include receiving a dataset and dataset attributes and identifying a first version of the dataset. The method may include identifying data that varies from a first version of the dataset, and generating a second version of the dataset to include a first subset and a second subset of atomized data. The method may include storing subsets of atomized data points as an atomized dataset.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for optimizing cubic utilization when loading items into a loading space. A current loading configuration of the loading space can be determined according to image data obtained by 3D sensors. Item data (e.g., volume, mass, type, dimensions, etc.) can be determined for incoming items to be loaded into the loading space. The current loading configuration and the item data can be used to determine an item sequence and optimal placement location for the next item to be loaded such that a cubic efficiency of the loading space is maximized and amount of air gaps between items is minimized. The current loading configuration can further be used to determine if a sensing system or an item loading system needs to be repositioned. Whether the next item was placed in the optimal placement can also be verified based on subsequent image data obtained by the 3D sensors.
