Abstract: A multi-wire choke filter is implemented in an inverter module of a modular power control system for a vehicle. Such an inverter module includes gate driver circuits to control switching power transistors used to power loads in a vehicle. The switching power transistors and gate drivers are configurable to support both a three-phase and a single phase current drive driver circuit topology in which switching power transistors are connected in parallel to share driving currents and dynamic switching losses. In any configured topology, the multi-wire choke is connected in series between gate driver circuit components and switching power transistors to mitigate any EMI threat to the gate driver circuitry by presenting an impedance to reduce circuit susceptibility to any differential and common mode noise currents that can flow through the gate driver circuit that can overwhelm gate driver circuitry and negatively effect power transistor switching performance at any time.

Abstract: For reconstruction in medical imaging, user control of a characteristic (e.g., noise level) of the reconstructed image is provided. A machine-learned model alters the reconstructed image to enhance or reduce the characteristic. The user selected level of characteristic is then provided by combining the reconstructed image with the altered image based on the input level of the characteristic. Personalized or more controllable impression for medical imaging reconstruction is provided without requiring different reconstructions.

The frame includes various features for supporting components and systems of the vehicle. For example, a rear portion of the frame is configured to support a utility bed, a portion of a cooling system, a portion of an air intake system, and a portion of an exhaust system.

Abstract: The subject technology provides receiving a neural network (NN) model to be executed on a target platform, the NN model including multiple layers that include operations and some of the operations being executable on multiple processors of the target platform. The subject technology further sorts the operations from the multiple layers in a particular order based at least in part on grouping the operations that are executable by a particular processor of the multiple processors. The subject technology determines, based at least in part on a cost of transferring the operations between the multiple processors, an assignment of one of the multiple processors for each of the sorted operations of each of the layers in a manner that minimizes a total cost of executing the operations. Further, for each layer of the NN model, the subject technology includes an annotation to indicate the processor assigned for each of the operations.

The compression resistant implant comprises a biodegradable polymer in an amount of about 0.1 wt % to about 20 wt % of the implant and a freeze-dried oxysterol in an amount of about 5 wt % to about 90 wt % of the implant. Methods of making and use are further provided.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for measuring a total storage controller throughput value for a workload processed on a storage controller within a storage array enclosure of a storage system. A maximum storage controller throughput value may be determined for the workload. A storage controller saturation value may be determined for the storage controller based upon, at least in part, the total storage controller throughput value for the workload and the maximum storage controller throughput value for the workload. One or more IO requests may be processed on one or more storage devices associated with the storage controller based upon, at least in part, the storage controller saturation value determined for the storage controller.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for movement of hand counts between gaming devices. A gaming device can generate a plurality of outcomes of a wagering game. The gaming device can increment a hand count value for each of the plurality of outcomes. The gaming device can decrease the hand count value based on a payout of the wagering game and the multiple of the hand count value. The gaming device can print a ticket for the hand count value including an identifier.

Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for managing an Information Handling System (IHS) using a workspace orchestration system are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an IHS may include computer-executable instructions to, upon a request to instantiate a workspace on the IHS, receive a user identity of a user of the workspace. Using the user identity of the user, the instructions may further cause the IHS to obtain, from a database, one or more policies associated with the user, and instantiate the workspace using the obtained policies. The policies identify one or more applications to be implemented in the workspace, application settings to be applied to each of the applications, or workspace settings to be applied to the workspace.

The metal may comprise a word line or another conductor of a three-dimensional memory device.

Abstract: Devices, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are disclosed herein to repair or mitigate the appearance of unwanted reflection artifacts in captured video image streams. These unwanted reflection artifacts often present themselves as brightly-colored spots, circles, rings, or halos that reflect the shape of a bright light source in the captured image. These artifacts, also referred to herein as “ghosts” or “green ghosts” (due to often having a greenish tint), are typically located in regions of the captured images where there is not actually a bright light source located in the image. In fact, such unwanted reflection artifacts often present themselves on the image sensor across the principal point of the lens from where the actual bright light source in the captured image is located. Such devices, methods and computer readable media may be configured to detect, track, and repair such unwanted reflection artifacts in an intelligent and efficient fashion.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to the monitoring and detection of corrosion and/or erosion of pipes, vessels, and other components in an industrial facility. The monitoring system may comprise of an arrangement of guided wave (GW) transducers and a longitudinal wave (LW) transducer affixed to the piping component to collectively measure for localized corrosion of the piping component without necessarily requiring a thickness map. The monitoring system may use an intelligent amplified multiplexer/switch to control the operation of the transducers that may be controlled and operated to generate waves in the kilohertz range and megahertz range with the same hardware.
