Abstract: A holder for a grounding brush assembly includes a circular tubular base having a centerline, a first and second axial ends spaced apart along the centerline, an inner circumferential surface extending between the axial ends and defining a bore configured to receive a portion of the fixed shaft, and a cylindrical outer circumferential surface extending between the axial ends and sized to receive the helical brush. A first flange extends radially outwardly from the first axial end of the base and is engageable with an axial end of the helical brush so as to retain the brush disposed about the base. A second flange extends radially outwardly from the second axial end of the base and is engageable with another axial end of the helical brush or a centering bearing disposed on the base between the brush and the second flange to retain the brush disposed about the base.

Abstract: A holder for a grounding brush assembly includes an elongated central hub having a centerline, opposing first and second axial ends spaced apart along the centerline, an inner circumferential surface defining a central bore extending between the first and second axial ends and sized to receive a portion of the fixed shaft, and an outer circumferential perimeter. A least one pair of retainer walls are integrally formed with the hub, each one of the pair of retainer walls extending radially outwardly from the outer circumferential perimeter of the hub and axially between the first and second axial ends of the hub. Each pair of retainer walls are spaced circumferentially apart so as to define an elongated groove configured to receive an axial conductive brush of the grounding brush assembly.

Abstract: In various examples, direct and indirect feedback is obtained and used to update a machine learning model. For example, feedback indicating interactions with the machine learning model are obtained from various entities. Continuing this example, the feedback is used to determine a set of scores associated with a particular response generated by the machine learning model. In various embodiments, the set of scores includes a response score, a multi-turn score, and a session score. Furthermore, the set of scores, in this examples, are combined to generate a single score associated with the response that is then used to update the machine learning model.

Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a network-on-chip (NoC). Connections for the NoC are generated from a circuit design for the corresponding integrated circuit device. Connections within the NoC are generated by analyzing the circuit design to detect a first connection attribute. The first connection attribute defines a first NoC master unit (NMU) and a first NoC slave unit (NSU). Further, a first NoC configuration is generated. The first NoC configuration includes the connections determined based on the first NMU and the first NSU.

Abstract: An imaging system is for recording images of a bearing raceway and includes a platform having a surface sized to receive the bearing ring and an optical imager having a lens. A positioner secures the optical imager or a reflector oriented to reflect light to the optical imager lens and locates the optical imager lens or the reflector axially between first and second axial ends of the raceway and facing generally toward the raceway. A motor rotates the platform or the positioner relative to the other one of the platform and the positioner. A processor operates the optical imager and the motor such that the optical imager takes a series of images about the entire perimeter of the bearing raceway. The processor also indexes each image to a separate one of a plurality of arcuate segments of the raceway and constructs a panoramic image of the raceway.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating lookalike segments corresponding to a target segment using decision trees and providing a graphical user interface comprising nodes representing such lookalike segments. Upon receiving an indication of a target segment, for instance, the disclosed systems can generate a lookalike segment from a set of users by partitioning the set of users according to one or more dimensions based on probabilities of subsets of users matching the target segment. By partitioning subsets of users within a node tree, the disclosed systems can identify different subsets of users partitioned according to different dimensions from the set of users. The disclosed systems can further provide a node tree interface comprising a node for the set of users and nodes for subsets of users within one or more lookalike segments.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes methods and systems for providing virtual reality content based on user biometric data. In particular, the disclosed systems and methods can modify virtual reality content to elicit target user responses and/or target user actions. Specifically, the disclosed systems and methods generate biometric response thresholds and determine user responses by comparing biometric data with the biometric response thresholds. The disclosed systems and methods select virtual reality content based on the user response to drive the user toward a particular target user response and/or target user action. The disclosed systems and methods also tailor virtual reality content to individual characteristics of the user. For example, the disclosed systems and methods select virtual reality content based on baseline biometric characteristics and corresponding response categories of a user.

Abstract: A rotary valve having inner and outer sleeves includes multiple ports configured to provide pressure and vacuum pulses when the sleeves are rotated with respect to each other. A source of pressure and vacuum is connected to the rotary valve, and the inner sleeve is rotated to generate pressure and vacuum pulses. The alternating pressure and vacuum pulses may be used to remove obstructions in conduits such as piping systems. The rotary valve may also provide static positions where no vacuum or pressure is available. The valve may be motor driven and the pressure/vacuum pulse frequency may be controlled based upon the relative speed of rotation of the sleeves.

Abstract: Hardware-enforced zoning is provided in Fibre Channel switches to protect against breaching of assigned zones in a switch network which can occur with software-based zoning techniques. The invention provides logic for performing a hardware-based validation of the Source ID S_ID of frames both at the point where the frame enters the Fibre Channel fabric, and at the point where the frame leaves the fabric. The S_ID is verified against an inclusion list or table of allowable S_IDs, which can be unique for each fabric port. The invention provides a way to increase the range of sources an inclusion table can express, by implementing wild cards, on an entry-by entry basis. If the S_ID is valid, it will enter the fabric and route normally. If invalid, the frame will not be routed but will be disposed of by the fabric according to FC rules.
