Abstract: Described are techniques for predicting when data associated with a user input is likely to be selected for deletion. The system may use a trained model to assist with such predictions. The trained model can be configured based on deletions associated with a user profile. An example process can including receiving user input data corresponding to the user profile, and processing the user input data to determine a user command. Based on characteristic data of the user command, the trained model can be used to determine that data corresponding to the user command is likely to be selected for deletion. The trained model can be iteratively updated based on additional user commands, including previously received user commands to delete user input data.

Abstract: A system for generating and distributing a digital mixtape. In one example, the system can receive a user command to generate a digital mixtape including a user-defined compilation of music.

Abstract: Automated risk management techniques in an information processing system are disclosed. For example, for a given item type obtainable from two or more sources, wherein each of the two or more sources has an aging policy associated with the item type that is different with respect to one another, the method predicts a quantity of the item type obtainable from each of the two or more sources that is at risk during a given future time period based on the aging policy of each of the two or more sources. The method then determines one or more actions to be initiated to mitigate the quantity of the item type obtainable from each of the two or more sources that is at risk during the given future time period.

Abstract: A system including sensors and a controller for cooperative escape zone detection for a group of vehicles are provided. The sensors obtain driving condition information indicating driving environments and vehicle conditions for the group of vehicles. For each vehicle, the controller determines, based on the driving environment of the vehicle, one or more distances associated with the vehicle that are between the vehicle and one or more obstacles that surround the vehicle and determines an escape zone status for the vehicle based on the one or more distances and the driving environment and the vehicle condition of the vehicle. When the escape zone status of one in the group of vehicles fails to satisfy a pre-defined condition, the controller sends one or more control signals to one or more vehicles in the group of vehicles to create an additional escape zone for the one in the group of vehicles.

Abstract: A utility-scale energy storage and conversion system can operate two or more inverter groups such that their reactive power commands are proportional to their available reactive power range. The control system can therefore distribute the reactive power commands in proportion to the available Q range, thereby ensuring that all inverters in the utility-scale energy storage and conversion system 100 operate with the same Q “headroom”. In addition, the utility-scale energy storage and conversion system can use an on-load tap changer (LTC) to adjust a terminal voltage associated with a first group of inverters and a second group of inverters. The first group of inverters can be associated with a first rating and the second group of inverters can be associated with a second rating that is greater than the first rating.

Abstract: An adaptive prefetcher for a shared system cache of a processing system including multiple requestors having a cache miss monitor and a prefetch controller. The cache miss monitor monitors requests for information from memory and identifies one of the requestors for which an identified cache line is requested. The prefetch controller submits an adaptive request for a subsequent cache line. The subsequent cache line may be determined based on a latency comparison between a loop latency (LL) of the prefetch controller and a stream latency (SL) of the identified requestor. A latency memory may be included that stores stream latencies for the requestors. The latency comparison may be used to determine how many cache lines to skip relative to the identified cache line, such as according to SL*SK<LL?SL*(SK+1) in which SK is the number of cache lines to skip.
