Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods for training a decentralized model for making a personalized recommendation.

Abstract: An overlay network system includes multiple point-of-presence (POP) devices each including a path finding component and corresponding telemetry component, agent component, and routing daemon. The telemetry component generates latency measurements for the POP on which it is disposed. A centralized billboard service provides border gateway protocol (BGP) announcements and point-of-presence (POP) peering decisions to each of the agent components. On each of the POPs, the path finding component and corresponding telemetry component, agent component, and routing daemon cooperate to transform the BGP announcements, peering decisions, and latency measurements into routing tables and link selections for packet streams routed through the POPs.

Abstract: Network devices that (a) test that GPS-clock enabled network devices have synchronized clocks, (b) identify non-GPS-clock enabled network devices with symmetric latencies as likely to be synchronized to GPS-clock enabled neighbor devices, (c) determine clock skews of remaining network devices not identified in (a) or (b) against the network devices identified in (a) and (b), and re-evaluate latencies of the GPS-clock enabled network devices, the non-GPS-clock enabled network devices, and the remaining devices based on the results of (a)-(c).

Abstract: Systems including a telemetry service, a graph service coupled to transform outputs of the telemetry service into path routes through an overlay network, a billboard service configured to transform the path routes into border gateway protocol (BGP) announcements and point-of-presence (POP) peering decisions, multiple agent components, and multiple routing daemons, each disposed on a different POP of the overlay network along with a corresponding one of the agent components. The daemons receive BGP announcements and peering decisions from the billboard service via the corresponding agent component and transform the BGP announcements and peering decisions into routing tables for the POPs.

Abstract: System, method, and computer product embodiments for controlling a display device's display settings from a computing device's touch-based user interface are described. In an embodiment, the computing device establishes a wireless connectivity with the display device. The computing device sends a command generated to query information related to the display setting. Then, the computing device receives the queried information from the display device. The computing device configures a graphical user interface (GUI) with the queried information to display configurations of the display settings on the touchscreen. The configurations include the display settings currently configured in the display device. The computing device further enables, within GUI, a displayed configuration from the display configurations to be calibrated by one or more touch gestures on the touchscreen.

Abstract: Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of a power line measurement device are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is a measurement device comprising a measurement device structured to at least partially surround a segment of a power distribution line, the measurement device including a winding portion spaced apart from the segment of the power distribution line structured to receive magnetic flux from the power distribution line and to output data corresponding to a current flowing through the power distribution line; and a magnetic shield spaced apart from the measurement device and positioned radially outward from the winding portion relative to the segment of the power distribution line, the magnetic shield comprising a first section and a second section coupled to the first section at an obtuse angle, the magnetic shield being structured to reduce an amount of external flux from being received with the measurement device.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a transformer and a method of manufacturing the same, wherein at least a portion of a core is disposed inside a shield case formed from a polymeric resin composition containing conductive particles. An encasement comprising a dielectric resin encapsulates the shield case. An electrical conductor is electrically connected to the shield case and is accessible from the exterior of the encasement.

Abstract: A resin cast transformer having a core covered by a cushioning material is provided. The cushioning material is in contact with the core and includes a force absorption layer adjoining a force distribution layer. The force distribution layer is harder than the force absorption layer.

Abstract: An electrical apparatus is provided that has an electrical device encapsulated in a plastic encasement. The encasement includes an inner shell and an outer shell. The inner shell has a thickness greater than the outer shell and the inner shell is more flexible than the outer shell. The inner shell is formed from a first resin composition that, when cured, has a tensile elongation at break of greater than 5% and the outer shell is formed from a second resin composition that, when cured, has a tensile elongation at break of less than 5%.

Abstract: A machine learning classifier is used to determine whether a web page belongs to a blog, based on a number of characteristics of web pages (e.g., presence of words such as “permalink”, or being hosted on a known blogging site). The classifier may be initially trained using human-judged examples. After classifying web pages as being blog pages, the blog pages may be further identified or categorized as top level blogs based on their URLs, for example.

Abstract: A modular surfacing system provides solid seamless natural stone modular pieces cut from the same stone block for matching coloration and pattern. The pieces are cut into any desired sizes with wide edging of any desirable thickness and solid piece corners as well as mating modular surface tiles and mating modular backsplash tiles. Since all pieces are cut from a thick block of stone, such as marble or granite, horizontal, vertical, and depth cuts may be made of any desired length and shape to create truly matching modular pieces of any desired dimensions.

Abstract: A modular surfacing system has edge pieces with skirts attached using a break away adhesive material allowing separation of the pieces without damage. The edge rail pieces may be used alone or with the skirt piece attached at any of a variety of overhanging heights to cover different substrate edge thicknesses. Skirts may be interchanged. The modular surfacing pieces may be solid seamless cut natural stone modular pieces, laminated natural stone modular pieces, composite material or synthetic material shaped into modular pieces. The pieces are cut into any desired sizes with wide edging of any desirable thickness and solid piece corners as well as mating modular surface tiles and mating modular backsplash tiles.
