Abstract: A voltage level shifter for an SRAM device includes a level shifter input and provides a second voltage level. A voltage input terminal receives a first signal at a first voltage level and an inverter having an input and an output with the voltage input terminal is connected to the inverter input. A first voltage selector selectively applies an intermediate voltage to the gate of a PMOS transistor in a first complementary pair when the voltage of a complementary level shift output voltage rises to a logical 1 and a second voltage selector applies the intermediate voltage to the gate of a PMOS transistor in a second complementary pair when the voltage of the level shift output voltage node rises to a logical 1. The PMOS transistor current is thereby reduced resulting in lower energy dissipation and supporting a larger voltage separation between the first and second voltage levels.

The programming data may include control settings for a scene, a schedule, or an automated control feature. The programming data may be displayed for being viewed and/or adjusted by a user. The programming data may be transmitted to the control devices and/or a system controller for being implemented in performing load control.

Abstract: Vector art object deformation techniques applied to digital images by vector art rendering system of a computing device are described. The vector art rendering system is configured to deform vector art objects associated with anchor points within a digital image based solely on the movement of the anchor points. Moreover, the vector art rendering system is also configured to adjust anchor points associated with vector art objects within a digital image based solely on the movement of the vector art objects. Techniques are also described that facilitate the automatic association of path segment and vector art objects to anchor points that possess multiple preexisting vector art object associations.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing delivery of content and tracking the same via audio cues. For example, a client computing device may monitor ambient sound for audio that matches audio sampled from broadcast content. In response to detecting matching audio, the client computing device transmits tracking data to a centralized content server. The content server records the tracking information and evaluates whether the matching audio was detected within a geographic area associated with the broadcast content. If so, the content server executes additional actions including transmitting supplemental content to the client computing device and/or updating summary level metrics that indicate receptions of broadcast content within target geographic locations.

Abstract: An SRAM device has a voltage input terminal configured to receive a first signal at a first voltage level. A level shifter is connected to the voltage input terminal to receive the first signal, and the level shifter is configured to output a second signal at a second voltage level higher than the first voltage level. A memory cell has a word line and a bit line. The word line is connected to the output terminal of the level shifter to selectively receive the second signal at the second voltage level, and the bit line is connected to the voltage input terminal to selectively receive the first signal at the first voltage level. A sense amplifier is connected to the bit line and is configured to provide an output of the memory cell. The sense amplifier has a sense amplifier input connected to the output terminal of the level shifter to selectively receive the second signal at the second voltage level.

Abstract: Approaches are described for shape-based graphics search. Each graphics object of a set of graphics objects is analyzed. The analyzing includes determining an outline of the graphics object from graphics data that forms the graphics object. The outline of the graphics object is sampled resulting in sampled points that capture the outline of the graphics object. A shape descriptor of the graphics object is determined which captures local and global geometric properties of the sampled points. Search results of a search query are determined based on a comparison between a shape descriptor of a user identified graphics object and the shape descriptor of at least one graphics object of the set of graphics objects. At least one of the search results can be presented on a user device associated with the search query.

Abstract: Techniques for deploying a server stack having a cross-server dependency are disclosed. A deployment engine initiates a deployment process for a server stack. The deployment engine provisions servers of one server type (“requisite servers”). The deployment engine attempts to provision servers of another server type (“dependent servers”). The deployment engine executes a test that requires the dependent servers to invoke a service executed by the requisite servers. Based on the test results, the deployment engine determines that an operational requirement of the dependent servers is not satisfied. The deployment engine modifies a configuration for the requisite servers to satisfy the operational requirement of the dependent servers. The deployment engine re-provisions the requisite servers using the modified configuration. The deployment engine completes the deployment process for the server stack.

Abstract: Application tool recommendations are described. Initially, application usage data is captured indicating tools used and actions performed by existing users of an application. This application usage data is converted into human-readable words describing the tools used and actions performed. This allows natural language processing techniques to be applied to the converted data. Through natural language processing, importance scores for the tools and actions can be computed and tasks performed with the application determined. The natural language processing techniques are also used to build task prediction models based on the importance scores and determined tasks. These task prediction models indicate probabilities of the determined tasks to be next performed by a current application user. A task having the highest probability of being next performed is predicted as the next task. Tool recommendations associated with the predicted next task are then presented to aid the user with the predicted next task.

Abstract: A load control system may be configured using a graphical user interface software. The graphical user interface software may display a first icon and a second icon. The first icon may represent a first electrical device and the second icon may represent a second electrical device. The first icon and the second icon may represent the relative location of the first electrical device and the second electrical device within a load control environment. The graphical user interface software may display a line from a selected icon (e.g., first icon) to a cursor. The graphical user interface software may adjust the line from the selected icon, for example, as the cursor moves. The graphical user interface software may define and store an association between the first electrical device and a second electrical device, for example, in response to the user selecting the first icon and the second icon.
