Abstract: There are disclosed devices, system and methods for desired signal spotting in noisy, flawed environments by identifying a signal to be spotted, identifying a target confidence level, and then passing a pool of cabined arrays through a comparator to detect the identified signal, wherein the cabined arrays are derived from respective distinct environments. The arrays may include plural converted samples, each converted sample include a product of a conversion of a respective original sample, the conversion including filtering noise and transforming the original sample from a first form to a second form. Detecting may include measuring a confidence of the presence of the identified signal in each of plural converted samples using correlation of the identified signal to bodies of known matching samples. If the confidence for a given converted sample satisfies the target confidence level, the given sample is flagged.

Abstract: The techniques described herein are directed to identifying data quality issues within information stored across multiple different data sources. For instance, the data quality issues can comprise missing values, inconsistent values, and un-translated values. Once identified, the techniques implement actions to resolve the data quality issues so that consumption or use of the information stored is improved. In at least one example, the identification and resolution of a data quality issue can be implemented in response to receiving a query that identifies an object. Based on the query, the system can collect values, from the multiple different sources, for attributes that have been defined for an item. The system can use algorithms (e.g., a comparison algorithm) to identify a data quality issue and can output a graphical user interface that visually distinguishes between attributes with a data quality issue and attributes without a data quality issue.

Abstract: A dehumidifier includes a desiccant, a cabinet, a first fan, and a second fan. The cabinet comprises a process airflow inlet, a process airflow outlet, a reactivation airflow inlet, and a reactivation airflow outlet that is located adjacent to the desiccant.

Abstract: A compact test range system for testing an article located within a test zone comprises a reflector defining a surface and a focus, a feed horn configured to emit radio waves, one or more processors, and a memory coupled to the processor. The radio wave includes an infinite number of rays, where the rays of the radio wave include an uppermost ray, a middle ray, and a lowermost ray directed towards the surface of the reflector. The memory stores data comprising a database and program code that, when executed by processors, causes the compact range test system to receive as input a plurality of field tilt angles. In response to receiving the field tilt angles, the system determines three points of intersection between the uppermost radio wave, the middle radio wave, and the lowermost radio wave that correspond to a first test position.

Abstract: A method of geospatial data based assessment driver behavior to improve driver safety and efficiency is disclosed. A method of a server device may comprise determining that a telemetry data is associated with a vehicle communicatively coupled with the server device and comparing the telemetry data with a driver objective data. A variance between the telemetry data and the driver objective data may then be determined. A performance score may be generated upon comparison of the variance to a threshold limit and/or the driver objective data. The performance score may be published along with other performance scores of other drivers in other vehicles also communicatively coupled with the server device to a reporting dashboard module. Elements of game theory may be implemented to create a team driving challenge and/or a driver performance program to generate the performance score to improve driver safety and efficiency for commercial fleets.

Abstract: A social networking system captures performance metrics of an offer by selecting a whisper code to include in an offer when presenting the offer to users of the social networking system. The social networking system receives information for providing its users with an offer for redemption at a merchant establishment. The social networking system also receives a set of rules for selecting a whisper code to go with the offer. The rules may be based on any context for which the advertiser or merchant may want to track performance of the offer. When presenting the offer, the social networking system selects a whisper code using those rules. This tracking using different whisper codes enables the merchant to understand the performance of the offer campaign based on the context in which the social networking system presents the offers to its users.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed for improved laser speckle imaging of samples, such as vascularized tissue, for the determination of the rate of movement of light scattering particles within the sample. The system includes a structure adjoining a light source and a photo-sensitive detector. The structure can be positioned adjacent the sample (e.g., coupled to the sample) and configured to orient the light source and detector relative the sample such that surface reflections, including specular reflections and diffuse reflections, are discouraged from entering the detection field of the detector. The separation distance along the structure between the light source and the detector may further enable selective depth penetration into the sample and biased sampling of multiply scattered photons. The system includes an operably coupled processor programmed to derive contrast metrics from the detector and to relate the contrast metrics to a rate of movement of the light scattering particles.

Abstract: Liquid submersion cooling systems are described that use a cooling liquid, for example a dielectric cooling liquid, to submersion cool an array of electronic devices. In some embodiments described herein, rather than using pump pressure to return the cooling liquid back to a cooling liquid reservoir, gravity can be used to return the cooling liquid to a reservoir via a cooling liquid gravity return manifold, and a pump can only be used on the liquid supply side to deliver the cooling liquid to each electronic device.

Abstract: An input signal may be classified by computing correlations between feature vectors of the input signal and feature vectors of reference signals, wherein the reference signals correspond to a class. The feature vectors of the input signal and/or the reference signals may be segmented to identify portions of the signals before performing the correlations. Multiple correlations of the segments may be combined to produce a segment score corresponding to a segment. The signal may then be classified using multiple segment scores, for example by comparing a combination of the segment scores to a threshold.
