Abstract: A culture is defined that spans multiple retailers. Transaction data from the multiple retailers are processed to map barcoded item codes to a culture item vector space. Any non-barcoded item for a given retailer associated with the culture is linked to a most similar barcoded item of that retailer based on a retailer-specific item vector space. The distances between the mapped barcoded item codes of the culture item vector space are processed to cluster the barcoded item codes into classifications within the culture vector space. Each retailer's non-barcoded items are associated to the classifications of the culture item vector space based on their linkages to the retailers' specific barcoded items, which are already mapped within the culture item vector space. Each item code of a given retailer's item catalogue is linked to its corresponding classification.

Abstract: Technologies for optimizing the spreading of traffic across multiple local output ports while considering both local load and end-to-end (E2E) load are described. One device has multiple outgoing ports and a network adapter that determines, for a first flow of packets, a first end-to-end (E2E) congestion rate of at least some of the outgoing ports. The network adapter determines a port state of at least some of the outgoing ports. The network adapter receives a first packet associated with the first flow of packets. The network adapter determines, using a first desired rate for the first flow, the first E2E congestion rates, and the port states, i) a first time at which the first packet is to be transmitted and ii) a first outgoing port on which the first packet is to be transmitted. The first packet is sent on the first outgoing port at the first time.

Abstract: A data storage device implements a Zoned Namespace (ZNS) storage architecture. The data storage device delays the execution of write commands that are received out of sequence instead of rejecting the write commands. The write commands that are received out of sequence are reordered according to a logical block address (LBA) associated with each write command. The data storage device also checks for deadlock conditions that may arise due to the execution of the write commands being delayed and/or due to the write commands being reordered.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically drying-off a machine-milked dairy animal by controlling milk production during a gradual drying-off period. During the gradual drying-off period, the dairy animal is not milked out. For each milking during this period, an amount of milk to be removed is determined, which is less than the amount removed at a previous milking. When the amount of milk for the current milking has been removed from the dairy animal, milking is stopped. The start of the gradual drying-off period is calculated from the dry-off date, the desired date of cessation of milking for this lactation, and from a predetermined drying-off period.
