The system also comprises a page tracker configured to determine a count of the one or more page requests. The system further comprises a data movement engine configured to move content of the page from the low-tier memory to the high-tier memory when the count of the one or more page requests exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to compositions and methods for the production of nucleic acid molecules.

Abstract: A device is configured to detect multiple different wakewords. A device may operate a joint encoder that operates on audio data to determine encoded audio data. The device may operate multiple different decoders which process the encoded audio data to determine if a wakeword is detected. Each decoder may correspond to a different wakeword. The decoders may use fewer computing resources than the joint encoder, allowing for the device to more easily perform multiple wakeword processing. Enabling/disabling wakeword(s) may involve the reconfiguring of a wakeword detector to add/remove data for respective decoder(s). Specific decoders may be activated/deactivated depending on device context, thereby efficiently managing device resources.

Abstract: Techniques for encoding audio data with metadata are described. In an example, a device receives audio data corresponding to audio detected by a microphone and receives metadata associated with the audio. The device generates encoded data based at least in part on encoding the audio data with the metadata. The encoding involves replacing a portion of the audio data with the metadata, such that the encoded data includes the metadata and a remaining portion of the audio data. The device sends the encoded data to an audio processing application.

Abstract: A system and method is provided to lock or unlock a gladhand coupler on a towed asset to prevent connection of a tractor air line to the gladhand is provided. The system prevents the tractor from properly operating the towed asset brakes and therefore prevents the unauthorized movement of the towed asset. The system has a locking mechanism that blocks the surface on the gladhand used for coupling with another gladhand coupler.

Abstract: A gladhand assembly includes a gladhand that rotates about a first axis with respect to a sealed housing. The sealed housing includes a lever affixed to the first axis to rotate as the gladhand rotates. A stop within the sealed housing may be configured into an engaged position in which it engages with the lever to lock the gladhand into a fixed position in which the gladhand cannot be rotated about the first axis. In addition, the stop may be configured into a retracted position to permit the lever to rotate and allow the gladhand to be rotated into a deployed position.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed and include receiving, with a peripheral device, a message packet from a portable device, the message packet including an authenticated packet with a de-whitened tone byte inserted therein. The portable device generates first message authentication code (MAC) bytes based on a shared secret key and generates the authenticated packet based on the first MAC bytes, first nonce bytes, and a message byte. The peripheral device validates the message packet in response to determining that the first MAC bytes match second MAC bytes and that the first nonce bytes match second nonce bytes. The peripheral device generates a reconstructed message packet in response to validating the message packet by removing the de-whitened tone byte from the authenticated packet. The communication gateway establishes a communication link between the portable device and the communication gateway in response to receiving the reconstructed message packet.
