Abstract: Systems and methods for managing traffic in a hybrid environment include monitoring traffic load of a local network to determine whether the traffic load exceeds or is likely to exceed a maximum traffic load, where the maximum traffic load is a traffic load for which a service can be provided by the local network, based on a license. An excess traffic load is determined if the traffic load exceeds or is likely to exceed the maximum traffic load. One or more external networks which have a capacity to provide the service to the excess traffic load are determined, to which the excess traffic load is migrated. The local network includes one or more service instances for providing the service for up to the maximum traffic load, and the service to the excess traffic load is provided by one or more additional service instances in the one or more external networks.

Abstract: A method for detection of a corrupted sensor including providing a first sensor; identifying one or more correlating sensors to the first sensor; determining a correlation between the first sensor and the correlating sensors according to historical sensor values; obtaining a calculated value of the first sensor based on values of the correlating sensors and the correlation; obtaining a measured value of the first sensor; and determining whether the first sensor is corrupted according to a difference between the calculated value and the measured value of the first sensor.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods associated with selective powering of an electronic display in response to operating conditions, additional data, and/or predicting that the electronic display is not going to be viewed or visible. By selectively enabling the electronic display between power states based on a prediction of when a viewer is expected to view the electronic display, a perceivably always-on electronic display may be provided without the electronic display being always-on, thereby balancing consumer interests with technical requirements of a relatively long battery life and correspondingly low power consumption.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods associated with selective powering of an electronic display in response to sensed data indicating that the electronic display is not visible. By selectively enabling the electronic display between power states based on whether the electronic display is visible, a perceivably always-on electronic display may be provided without the electronic display being always-on, thereby balancing consumer interests with technical requirements of a relatively long battery life and correspondingly low power consumption.

Abstract: Various embodiments illustrated herein disclose an axle lock assembly comprising a first plate with a first aperture, a second plate with a second aperture, a shaft, wherein the shaft is inserted through the first aperture and the second aperture and a bush. When the bushing is in contact with the first plate and the second plate, the bush creates a lateral force to move the first plate and the second plate in opposite directions to secure the shaft.

Abstract: An on-off keying (OOK) receiver circuit includes a band-pass filter and an envelope detector. The band-pass filter includes a high-pass filter, a low-pass filter, and a switch. The high-pass filter is configured to filter an OOK input signal. The low-pass filter is configured to filter an output signal of the high-pass filter. The switch is coupled to an output of the high-pass filter, and is configured to, with each cycle of the OOK input signal, dissipate energy stored in the band-pass filter. The envelope detector is configured to receive a filtered OOK input signal from the band-pass filter, and to generate an OOK output signal based on the filtered OOK input signal.

Abstract: A method of searching for a query sequence of nucleotide characters within a chromosomal or genomic nucleic acid reference sequence can include receiving a query sequence representing nucleotide characters to be searched for within a reference sequence of characters represented by a reference hypervector generated by combining respective base hypervectors for each nucleotide character included in the reference sequence of characters appearing in all sub-strings of characters having a length between a specified lower length and a specified upper length within the reference sequence, combining respective near orthogonal base hypervectors for each of the nucleotide characters included in the query sequence to generate a query hypervector, and generating a dot product of the query hypervector and the reference hypervector to determine a decision score indicating a degree to which the query sequence is included in the reference sequence.

Abstract: Methods and devices useful in discharging an aberrant charge on the VCOM of an electronic display and harvesting energy from the VCOM of the electronic display are provided. By way of example, a method may include supplying an activation signal to an active switching device of an electronic display. The active switching device is configured to discharge an aberrant charge on a common electrode of the electronic display. The method further includes discharging the aberrant charge by way of the active switching device. Discharging the aberrant charge comprises preventing a possible occurrence of image artifacts from becoming apparent on the electronic display.

Abstract: A content management system may generate a single content entity to manage multiple bitrate encodings for multiple content consumption platforms. A content management system may receive master content from a content creator/provider. Multiple bitrate encodings of the master content may be generated for consumption on multiple content consumption platforms. A single content entity identifier may be created to identify as a single content entity the generated bitrate encodings. The single content entity may be published to a content delivery system. The content delivery system may receive requests from content consumption devices for the content entity. A content delivery system may dynamically generate a content manifest to be sent to the content consumption device for use in streaming the content entity.

Abstract: A system for cancelling offset includes a gain circuit. The gain circuit may include a transistor circuit connected to a pair of input nodes and configured to convert an input signal to an output signal so that the output signal has a gain compared with the input signal. The gain circuit also may include a pair of output nodes configured to receive the output signal from the transistor circuit. The gain circuit is configured to cause a voltage change at one of the output nodes relative to another output node, in response to the gain circuit receiving a feedback offset correction signal. This effectively cancels at least a portion of an offset in the output signal.
