Abstract: A system for monitoring and controlling devices within a building management system (BMS). The system includes a user device configured to receive and convert a vocal input to voice data, and a BMS processor in communication with the user device and an operating device within the BMS. The BMS processor converts voice data to intent and entity parameters, and determines if the intent parameter is a visual intent or an audio intent. If the intent parameter is a visual intent, the BMS processor determines a category corresponding to the entity parameter, and outputs a web page corresponding to the category. Additionally, if the intent parameter is an audio intent, the BMS processor determines a category corresponding to the entity parameter, and retrieves and outputs operating device data corresponding to the category. Further, the user device outputs audio data corresponding to the operating device data and displays the web page.

Abstract: Digital content design system techniques are described using baseline units to control arrangement and sizing of digital content. In one example, a digital content design system receives a user input specifying a number of baselines to be included within an available display area of a page. Baselines are used to align digital content to control arrangement of the digital content within the page, e.g., text. From this, the digital content design system then calculates a baseline unit from a distance used to space adjacent baselines of the number of baselines from each other. This baseline unit is then leveraged by the system as a fundamental unit of measure to control arrangement and/or sizing of digital content in relation to each other.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a memory control process of a device receives a plurality of program/erase (P/E) requests for a flash memory of the device. The memory control process then stores data associated with the plurality of P/E requests in a random access memory (RAM) of the device, and aggregates the plurality of P/E requests into a single P/E operation. The memory control process may then send the single P/E operation to the flash memory at a given interval to update the flash memory with the data stored in the RAM.

Abstract: Described herein are technologies for intelligent antenna selection for optimal performance in an electronic device. One electronic device includes a first radio, coupled to a first antenna and a second antenna, and a processing device coupled to the first radio. During a first period, the first radio transmits a sequence of data packets using the first antenna and the processing device receives a first metric value indicative of a first amount of power received on a third antenna of the second electronic device. During a second period, the first radio transmits the sequence using the second antenna and the processing device receives a second metric value indicative of a second mount of power received on the third antenna. The processing device selects one of the first antenna and the second antenna as a selected antenna based on which one of the first metric value and the second metric value is lower.

Abstract: Certain embodiments disclosed herein reduce or eliminate a communication bottleneck at the storage manager by reducing communication with the storage manager while maintaining functionality of an information management system. In some implementations, a client obtains information for enabling a secondary storage job (e.g., a backup or restore) from a storage manager and stores the information (which may be referred to as job metadata) in a local cache. The client may then reuse the job metadata for multiple storage jobs reducing the frequency of communication with the storage manager. When a configuration of the information management system changes, or the availability of resources changes, the storage manager can push updates to the job metadata to the clients. Further, a client can periodically request updated job metadata from the storage manager ensuring that the client does not rely on out-of-date job metadata.

Abstract: A method for multiple BFD session optimization includes receiving a request for establishing a BFD session and in response, establishing a first BFD session for monitoring a link to a remote node over a first network interface. The type of the first BFD session is set to normal. BFD control packets are exchanged with the remote node as part of the first session for monitoring status of link to the remote node. A request for establishing a second BFD session to monitor the status of the same link is received. In response, the type of the first BFD session is changed to master. A second BFD session is established, and the type of the second BFD session is set to slave. For the second BFD session, BFD session state is obtained from the first BFD session without exchanging BFD control packets for the second BFD session with the remote node.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a reconfigurable simulative and predictive digital assistant/platform for simulation of a multi-stage processing facility. The digital assistant generates and assembles digital representations of the individual physical processing stages and components of the multi-stage processing facility in a reconfigurable manner according to a set of configuration commands generated using user inputs in a graphical user interface. At least one of the digital representations include a reusable predictive model that is trained when the digital representation is generated by the digital assistant. The digital assistant further performs simulation of the multi-state processing facility “as is” or in alternative “what-if” scenarios by simulating the digital representations according to a set of timing signals in the set of configuration commands.

Abstract: According to an example, customized visualization based intelligence augmentation may include accessing, based on a user request, a domain model, and mapping the user request to the domain model. Based on the mapping, a guided query that includes a relevant refinement question may be generated. A response may be received to the refinement question.

Based on the classification, an intelligence augmentation analyzer may be accessed to analyze the refined user request to generate an insight output that is classified to a visualization. Based on the classification of the insight output to the visualization, responsive to the user request, a display of the visualization may be generated.
