Abstract: A computer implemented method for determining a primary movement window from a vehicle trip is presented. A client computing device may be placed in a vehicle, be free to move with respect to movement of the vehicle, and include an accelerometer. A computer network may receive a plurality of telematics data originating from the client computing device. One or more processors may select one or more data points from the telematics data, and determine that a total spectral power of the selected data points meets a threshold value.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes obtaining a first latch for a first node within a tree data structure; copying a first version number of the first node; unlatching the first node; copying the first node; latching the first node a second time after completing the copying; copying a second version number of the first node; and performing one or more actions in response to a comparison of the first version number and the second version number.

Abstract: In described examples, a processor system includes a processor core that generates memory write requests, and a cache memory with a memory controller having a memory pipeline. The cache memory has cache lines of length L. The cache memory has a minimum write length that is less than a cache line length of the cache memory. The memory pipeline determines whether the data payload includes a first chunk and ECC syndrome that correspond to a partial write and are writable by a first cache write operation, and a second chunk and ECC syndrome that correspond to a full write operation that can be performed separately from the first cache write operation. The memory pipeline performs an RMW operation to store the first chunk and ECC syndrome in the cache memory, and performs the full write operation to store the second chunk and ECC syndrome in the cache memory.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a distributed data center that includes resources carried by a fleet of vehicles. The system includes sensors configured to generate output signals conveying information related to the vehicles and/or the surroundings of vehicles. The system includes a remote computing server configured to maintain map data and distribute it to the fleet, including local map data to individual vehicles pertaining to their surroundings. Individual vehicles may compare the local map data with the information related to their individual surroundings. Based on such comparisons, individual vehicles may detect discrepancies between the local map data and the information related to their individual surroundings. The remote computing server may modify and/or update the map data based on the detected discrepancies.

Abstract: Content sharing between a first user, a second user, and a third user is facilitated. A first public content collection includes a first input content item of a first user. Responsive to receiving an indication of a combination user input from a second user, a combination function is invoked to allow the second user to combine the first user input content item with a second user input content item to create a first combined user input content item. The first combined user input content item is stored in association with the first user input content item in a second public content collection. A third user sends a combination collection presentation user input related to the first user input content item. In response, a combination collection presentation function is invoked to enable the third user to navigate the second public content collection.

Abstract: A method of making-up tubular string components can include inputting to an image processor image data output from at least one camera, the image processor in response detecting positions of a tubular and a mark on another tubular, threading the tubulars with each other while inputting position data from the image processor to a controller, and the controller terminating the threading in response to the position of the mark relative to the position of the first tubular being within a predetermined range. Another method of making-up tubular string components can include, in response to inputting image data to an image processor, the image processor detecting longitudinal positions of two tubulars, threading the tubulars with each other, and a controller terminating the threading in response to the longitudinal position of one tubular relative to the longitudinal position of the other tubular being within a predetermined range.

Abstract: A speech-processing system may provide access to one or more virtual assistants via a voice-controlled device. The system may be activated by detecting a wakeword in speech received by a microphone of the device. The system may process the speech and provide a response in the form of synthetic speech. When a speaker of the device synthetic emits the speech, the microphone may detect some or all of the speech. If the synthetic speech includes a wakeword or words or phrases similar to the wakeword, a wakeword detection component of the device may detect the wakeword and activate an assistant, resulting in a self-wake or cross-wake. Self- or cross-wake may interrupt an action or response currently in progress, which may frustrate the user and result in a poor user experience. This disclosure thus proposes systems and methods for preventing cross-wake and self-wake in a voice-controlled device.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems related to managing deck-specific read levels are described. The apparatus may include a memory array having the memory cells organized into two or more decks. The apparatus can determine a delay between programming the decks. The apparatus can derive and implement the deck-specific read levels by selectively adjusting a base read level with an offset level according to the delay and/or the targeted read location.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems, methods, devices, and instructions for performing simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) that involve initializing a SLAM process using images from as few as two different poses of a camera within a physical environment. Some embodiments may achieve this by disregarding errors in matching corresponding features depicted in image frames captured by an image sensor of a mobile computing device, and by updating the SLAM process in a way that causes the minimization process to converge to global minima rather than fall into a local minimum.

Abstract: A notification center system receives a message from a message source, the message comprising a message body, the message body comprising parameter-value pairs. The notification center system processes the message body to obtain a contextual string from the parameter-value pairs, appends a source identifier to the message, the source identifier identifying the message source, and stores the message appended with the source identifier in a platform-neutral format in a message store. Utilizing the contextual string, the message is then grouped, with other message(s) or by itself, with a message thread. The message is provided to a delivery mechanism for presentation of the message under the message thread. Content-aware contextual visual indicators may be determined for the message thread and the message based on different orders of specificity. The message thread and the message can then be displayed with their corresponding content-aware contextual visual indicators to provide additional insights.
