Abstract: An exemplary lockset includes a mortise case, a magnet assembly mounted in the mortise case, and a manual actuator operable to move the magnet assembly between a coupling position in which a first magnet of the magnet assembly is aligned with a reference point and a decoupling position in which the first magnet is misaligned with the reference point. In certain embodiments, the magnet assembly further includes a second magnet having an opposite polarity as the first magnet, and the second magnet is misaligned with the reference point when the magnet assembly is in the coupling position and is aligned with the reference point when the magnet assembly is in the decoupling position.

Abstract: A controller may control input to, output from, and execution of a component of a data-processing pipeline via an interface. The interface facilitates replacing the component with a different and/or updated component and/or changing a type of controller that controls the component via the interface. For example, the different types of controllers may facilitate communication between components controlled by other controllers (and/or that aren't controlled by a controller), controllers that generate reproducibility data so that component behavior may be reproduced, controllers that reproduce component behavior, and/or controllers that tune performance of the data-processing pipeline, e.g., by varying input, output, and execution of respective component(s).

Abstract: A controller may use a timing model to control and coordinate the execution of components within a data processing pipeline. The timing model may be generated based on log data collected during execution of the components, to model component latencies and pipeline behavior in a production environment. The controller may use the timing model to control the timing of the inputs to, the outputs from, and the execution of various interacting components in the data processing pipeline. The timing model may include component-specific and/or channel-specific timing data, and in various implementations may be based on inputs provided to the components, the timing and contents of outputs from the components, and/or the number of times particular code is executed within the components.

Abstract: An online system identifies recipes that are most likely to be pertinent to particular users of the system. To do so, the online system uses an association table containing degrees of association between pairs of possible ingredients, identifying degrees of association between the constituent ingredients of various possible recipes and between ingredients from known user personalization data about the user to whom recipes are being recommended. These degrees of association are used to compute a score for each recipe as a whole, with the highest scores indicating the most pertinent recipes for the user in question. The most pertinent recipes, and/or the constituent ingredients of those recipes, are recommended to the user, and the system may additionally aid the user in obtaining the full complement of ingredients for a recommended recipe. The system may also build the association table as a co-occurrence graph of pairs of items that were previously purchased together by users of the system.

Abstract: Disclosed is an MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT) Data Logger and Processor for Near Real Time Data Analysis that is configured to subscribe to a Machine-to-Machine (M2M) network protocol and store all the messages sent to an MQTT broker. Once all of the messages have been logged, the presently disclosed invention further features cleans and places the data into a format that is usable or accessible by modeling and simulation (M&S) tool suites, as one example. These aspects can be utilized by test and evaluation (T&E) engineers to rapidly evaluate system characteristics and performance. Moreover, the disclosed methodology can be used to augment technical data within M&S scenarios for verification and validation (V&V) and post processing.

Abstract: A utility vehicle includes an exhaust assembly fluidly coupled to an engine. Depending on various parameters, such as the size and/or performance of the vehicle, the exhaust assembly is required to meet certain emissions regulations. Such emissions regulations may be met by increasing the temperature within the exhaust assembly, however, at particularly high temperatures, a catalyst of the exhaust assembly may be damaged. Therefore, the exhaust assembly includes various options for cooling portions thereof to remove heat from the assembly.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for latency mitigation during inter-process communication based on pre-allocating and managing shared memory. During the startup phase (e.g., prior to run-time), processes of vehicle computing systems may request to engage in communication with other processes within the vehicle computing system. Based on the request, a memory manager may determine an amount of shared memory to pre-allocate. In such examples, the amount of shared memory may be determined based on a maximum number of messages that may be “in-flight” at any single instance during run-time, and a maximum size of a message. The memory manager may pre-allocate shared memory consistent with the determined amount, and transmit a key to the requesting process. In such examples, the key may enable the process to access the pre-allocated shared memory. After the startup phase has ended, the process may read and/or write messages to and from the shared memory.

Abstract: An online system performs an inference task in conjunction with the model serving system or the interface system to continuously monitor conversations between users and shoppers to determine whether a message sent by a sending party can be automatically responded to rather than prompting the receiving party for a manual response. The online system automatically provides a response to the message without the receiving party's manual involvement. In one or more embodiments, the online system can infer whether a question can be intercepted and/or suggests one or more available answers the sender can consider as feedback without a manual response from the receiver.

Abstract: An online system performs an inference task in conjunction with the model serving system or the interface system to continuously monitor conversations between requesting users and fulfillment users to determine whether the online system can intervene to automatically respond to a message sent by a sending party, rather than prompting the receiving party for a manual reply. Upon inferring that a message can be automatically responded to, the online system automatically provides a response to the message without the receiving party's manual involvement. The online system can further be augmented to classify and reroute certain requesting user or fulfillment user queries that impact an order's end state by intercepting the conversation on behalf of either party and performing one or more automated actions. If the message is action-oriented, the online system may perform one or more automated actions in response to the message.
