  • Patent number: 11940923
    Abstract: Technologies are described for cost based management of cache entries stored in a computer memory. In one example, a plurality of cache entries may be stored at a cache in a computer memory and the cache entries may have a cost measure associated with individual cache entries. A cost measure may represent a computing cost of an application to generate a cache entry. An incoming cache entry may be received at the cache, where the incoming cache entry has a cost measure associated with the incoming cache entry. In response to receiving the incoming cache entry, a cache entry that has a lower cost measure than the cost measure for other cache entries may be identified for eviction from the cache. The cache entry identified for eviction may be evicted from the cache, and the incoming cache entry may be written into the cache stored in the computer memory.

  • Patent number: 11912636
    Abstract: In one embodiment, thermite matches are provided. For instance, thermite matches as described herein may be constructed as a multi-staged formulation comprising an outer ignition tip, an optional inner transition tip, and a bulk fuel thermite stage. The outer ignition tip may comprise an ignition compound that can be struck/scraped against an abrasive counter-chemical surface (e.g., red phosphorous) to initiate the reaction. The outer ignition tip can reach a first burn temperature that can further ignite the inner transition tip stage, which can in turn burn at a temperature that reaches the ignition temperature of the bulk fuel thermite. The high burn temperature of the thermite match may then be used to ignite other materials, such as hard-to-ignite materials, such as a thermite rod for cutting or welding. Other embodiments provide for thermite match handles and a two-piece ignition thermite matches.

  • Patent number: 11774959
    Abstract: A system includes one or more processors configured to generate recommended machine settings associated with machine operating parameters. The system receives sensor data associated with an environment of a machine. Based on the sensor data, the system determines one or more settings associated with operating parameters for the machine, to optimize the efficiency thereof. The system causes a recommendation to apply the setting to be presented on a display associated with the machine, such as for an operator to accept. In some examples, the operator manually applies the setting(s). In some examples, the system causes a computing device of the machine to apply the setting(s). The system may continuously and/or periodically provide recommendations as conditions in the environment change.

  • Patent number: 11736777
    Abstract: A method for displaying rich media content through a user interface of a communication device. A first user interaction with the user interface is detected and it is determined, based partly upon detection of the first user interaction, that a first Activity of a plurality of Activities is finishing. An Overlay containing the media content is then rendered on the device display. The Overlay is associated with a backing Activity, the device operating system delaying execution of the backing Activity during a delay period initiated in response to the first user interaction. The method further includes inhibiting Activity-supported functionality of the Overlay facilitated by the backing Activity. A context object associated with the Overlay is created to contain an Activity context associated with a state of the Overlay during the delay period. The Activity context is transferred to the backing Activity and Activity-supported functionality of the Overlay enabled.
