Abstract: Techniques are generally described for machine learning exampled-based annotation of image data. In some examples, a first machine learning model may receive a query image comprising a first depiction of an object-of-interest. In some examples, the first machine learning model may receive a target image representing a scene in which a second depiction of the object-of-interest is visually represented. In various examples, the first machine learning model may generate annotated output image data that identifies a location of the second depiction of the object-of-interest within the target image. In some examples, an object detection model may be trained based at least in part on the annotated output image data.

Abstract: Thermal barrier coatings and methods to make such coatings present improved resistance to CMAS infiltration. The method for forming a thermal barrier coating includes applying a layer of the thermal barrier coating to a component having a surface, forming a plurality of first channels in the thermal barrier coating, and forming a plurality of second channels in the thermal barrier coating. The first channels extend through a thickness of the thermal barrier coating from an interface with the surface of the component to a free surface opposite the interface. The second channels are disposed between the free surface and the interface and extending lengthwise generally parallel to the free surface of the thermal barrier coating, wherein the thermal barrier coating comprises a material comprising yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) or yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ).

Abstract: Servers at a data center having similar hardware configurations are grouped together; a leader server is determined from members of the group. A remote network management console discovers the leader without necessarily discovering each particular server and provides a firmware update to only the leader via a communication network over which the systems management console/application and the group of servers can communicate. The leader receives the firmware update and distributes the update to the other group members. In a cluster environment where servers of a group are substantially identical to one another, a leader of the cluster may use a discovery protocol to determine a catalog of current firmware versions of cluster members and their respective peripherals. Based on the catalog, the systems management console/application determines a custom firmware update that will normalize each member of the cluster to one another and forwards the custom update to the cluster leader.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining vibrational anomalies of a vehicle. An object is removably attached to a wheel of the vehicle in a manner that inhibits the object from coming off of the vehicle when the vehicle is in operation. The object includes one or more inertial measurement units (IMU's) mounted to the object and configured to measure parameters that are used for calculating the vibrational anomalies when the vehicle is in operation. Motion data captured by the one or more IMU's is collected. The collected motion data is processed to determine the presence of one or more vibrational anomalies of the vehicle. A recommended corrective action to be taken is determined when the result of the processed data indicates the presence of one or more vibrational anomalies of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method for moisture testing of a fully assembled photovoltaic (PV) module. An assembled PV module is probed with short wave IR probe energy in the range of 1700-2000 nm. Energy reflected from the assembled PV module is collected and directed to a sensor. Noise is removed from a signal of the sensor with reference to the probe energy. Absorption is of the probe energy is determined. The absorption is correlated to moisture in the PV module. A preferred system that carries out the method provides a signal-to-noise ratio (as defined by standard deviation/mean of measured reflectance) of at least 3800.
