Abstract: A pixel arrangement structure includes: first sub-pixels, second sub-pixels and third sub-pixels, being not overlapped but being spaced apart. The third sub-pixel includes a first edge facing the first sub-pixel, the first sub-pixel includes a second edge facing the third sub-pixel, the third sub-pixel includes a third edge facing the second sub-pixel, and the second sub-pixel includes a fourth edge facing the third sub-pixel, and shapes of the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel are circles, the first edge and the second edge are curved edges with a same curvature, the third edge and the fourth edge are curved edges with a same curvature; or shapes of the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel are octagons, at least part of the first edge is parallel to at least part of the second edge, at least part of the third edge is parallel to at least part of the fourth edge.

Abstract: A method includes receiving signal data from a sensor device; dynamically converting the signal data into a visibility point based on a time series vector associated with the signal data; generating an image to preserve the time series vector, wherein the a time series vector is a shape within the image; extracting a feature metric of a plurality of feature metrics from the image based on an analysis of a pre-trained machine learning algorithm; automatically determining, utilizing a transfer learning algorithm, a first position of a node in a plurality of nodes within the image based on a relationship between the feature metric and the time series vector associated with the time series data; predicting a second position of the node in the plurality of nodes based on the analysis of the pre-trained machine learning algorithm and the relation between the feature metric and the time series vector.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved visual laryngeal mask comprising a snorkel, an end of the snorkel is provided with a fixing seat. The fixing seat is provided with an airbag, and the fixing seat has a recess which is provided with an airway opening. The inner wall of the snorkel longitudinally extends an imaging cavity and a cleaning channel. The imaging cavity has a built-in imaging device, and the imaging cavity and the cleaning channel protrude forward relative to the airway opening to form a stopper which prevents an epiglottis from blocking the imaging device.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for increasing distributed database capacity by adding new nodes while minimizing downtime. A database is partitioned among multiple nodes in a cluster. Each node stores a respective portion of the database. The portions of the database are replicated to corresponding physical standbys. For each portion, a first portion is mapped to an existing node, while a remaining portion is mapped to a physical standby. The cluster is updated to include the physical standbys as additional nodes among which the database is partitioned.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for facilitating data redistribution in database sharding. A database is maintained that is horizontally partitioned into a set of first buckets using modulo-based assignments. A fixed number of the first buckets are stored in each of multiple physical data stores. The database is repartitioned into a set of second buckets using modulo-based assignments. The number of second buckets in the set is a multiple of the sum of a positive integer and the quantity of the physical data stores. The data in the database is unmoved between the physical data stores by repartitioning.

Abstract: A system and method for search list pagination include sorting a set of records in an order based on a dynamic element of each of the records, and displaying the set of records in two or more pages on an interface. If the dynamic elements of any of the records changes between the display of the first page of records and the receipt of a request to display a second page of records on the interface, the method updates the ordering of the records to account for the change in the dynamic element of each of the records, and displays the second page sorted in the order. In such a manner, a user of the system or method may view each of the records sorted in the order, based on the instantaneous contents of the records.

Abstract: A return request processing engine automatically approves or denies requests for authorization to return a purchased item to the seller of the item. The return request processing engine utilizes return request rules to determine whether a particular return request can be approved or denied without input from the seller. When a request is received from a buyer to return an item, the return request processing engine utilizes the return request rules to determine if the request to return the item can be automatically approved or denied without input from the seller. If the return request processing engine cannot automatically approve or deny a return request, the return request processing engine causes a message to be transmitted to the seller of the item that provides a user interface through which the seller can indicate whether the return request is approved or denied by way of a single user input.
