  • Publication number: 20230419128
    Abstract: A layered machine learning system for processing data. The machine learning system comprises decision trees with different depths. An iterative training process is performed on the layered machine learning system to determine the structures of the decision trees based on prior predictions. The fitted decision trees are further configured to update leaf values with a gradient boosting method. By cumulating the predictions of decisions trees in prior iterations, interaction effects are modeled among different depths within the layered machine learning system.

  • Patent number: 11849904
    Abstract: A cleaner head for a vacuum cleaner has a housing, an agitator mounted within the housing, and a drive mechanism for driving the agitator about a first axis A. The drive mechanism is mounted to the housing for rotation about a second axis R. The second axis R is offset from the first axis A. When the agitator is brought into contact with a surface to be cleaned, the surface exerts a reaction torque on the agitator that causes the drive mechanism to rotate about the second axis R.

  • Publication number: 20230407320
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for the transient expression and activity of site-specific DNA modifying agent, morphogenic factors or developmental genes, either alone or in combination for eukaryotic cells. The morphogenic factor and DNA modifying agent may be provided to the same cell or to a different cell than that which was originally transformed. The morphogenic factor, or the double-strand-break-inducing agent, may further comprise a cell penetrating peptide. Exogenously provided DNA modifying agents and/or morphogenic factors need not be segregated away in future generations due to transient activities in the desired cell.

  • Patent number: 11847193
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, devices, and machine-readable mediums which utilize digital tracking tags attached to data to monitor and/or control the data as it moves between applications and/or computing devices. The digital tracking tag may be embedded in the data (e.g., as a digital watermark) or associated with the data e.g., as metadata. In some examples, the digital tracking tag may include an address of a tracking database with which to record one or more events related to the data. For example, recipients, senders, or other participants in a data transfer event may register the data transfer event with the tracking database.

  • Patent number: 11845204
    Abstract: A vacuum bag having an expandable pleat is provided. The vacuum bag includes a first surface region, a second surface region, and a third surface region between the first and second surface regions. The third surface region can be folded to bring the first surface region into proximity of the second surface region. The vacuum bag also includes a strip having a first attaching region at a first end of the strip, a second attaching region at a second end of the strip opposite the first end, and a central region between the first and second attaching regions. The first attaching region is fixed to the first surface region, and the second attaching region is fixed to the second surface region such that when the central region of the strip is in a non-expanded state, the first surface region is contiguous to the second surface region.

  • Patent number: 11842195
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises processing circuitry which has a hypervisor execution mode for execution of a hypervisor for managing one or more virtual processors executing on the processing circuitry, and at least one less privileged execution mode than the hypervisor execution mode. In response to a conditional yield to hypervisor instruction executed in the at least one less privileged execution mode, an instruction decoder controls the processing circuitry to determine whether at least one trap condition is satisfied, and when the at least one trap condition is determined to be satisfied, to switch the processing circuitry to the hypervisor execution mode; and store, in at least one storage element accessible to instructions executed in the hypervisor execution mode, at least one item of scheduling hint information for estimating whether the at least one trap condition is still satisfied.

  • Patent number: 11838985
    Abstract: A method of managing embedded subscriber identity modules (eSIMs) on a user equipment (UE). The method comprises receiving a request to manage an eSIM profile stored on the UE by an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) of the UE from a requestor; looking up a set of eSIM profile management rules in the eSIM profile by the eUICC; determining an eSIM profile management rule of the set of eSIM profile management rules that applies to the eSIM profile by the eUICC based on an identity of the requestor; determining to deny the request by the eUICC based on the identity of the requestor, based on the request, and based on the eSIM profile management rule; and, based on denying the request, executing a rejection method, wherein the rejection method is defined by the eSIM profile management rule.

  • Patent number: 11833976
    Abstract: A vehicle includes an instrument panel, a support structure coupled to the instrument panel, and a retainer. The support structure defines a receiver that extends from a lower end to an upper end that is vehicle-upward of the lower end. The portion of the support structure that defines the receiver includes at least one rib that protrudes into the receiver. The retainer includes a barrel portion having a threaded interior surface that defines a hollow and an exterior surface opposite the interior surface and having at least one wing. The retainer also includes a head portion coupled to the barrel portion. The retainer is operably coupled to the support structure, such that the barrel portion is received within the receiver and the at least one wing of the exterior surface is engaged with the at least one rib to maintain the retainer within the receiver.

  • Publication number: 20230385232
    Abstract: A mapping may be made between an array of physical processors and an array of functional logical processors. Also, a mapping may be made between logical memory channels (associated with the logical processors) and functional physical memory channels (associated with the physical processors). These mappings may be stored within one or more tables, which may then be used to bypass faulty processors and memory channels when implementing memory accesses, while optimizing locality (e.g., by minimizing the proximity of memory channels to processors).

  • Publication number: 20230370819
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a mobile wireless communication device is operated for motion sensing. In some aspects, wireless signals transmitted from a second wireless communication device through a space during a time period are received at a first wireless communication device. By operation of the first wireless communication device, channel state information is generated based on the wireless signals. Whether the first wireless communication device moved during the time period is detected. In response to detecting that the first wireless communication device moved relative to the second wireless communication device during the time period, motion sensing parameters of a motion sensing system are updated. The channel state information is processed according to the updated motion sensing parameters to detect motion of an object—other than the first wireless communication device—in the space during the time period.

  • Patent number: 11809989
    Abstract: When a signal glitches, logic receiving the signal may change in response, thereby charging and/or discharging nodes within the logic and dissipating power. Providing a glitch-free signal may reduce the number of times the nodes are charged and/or discharged, thereby reducing the power dissipation. A technique for eliminating glitches in a signal is to insert a storage element that samples the signal after it is done changing to produce a glitch-free output signal. The storage element is enabled by a “ready” signal having a delay that matches the delay of circuitry generating the signal. The technique prevents the output signal from changing until the final value of the signal is achieved. The output signal changes only once, typically reducing the number of times nodes in the logic receiving the signal are charged and/or discharged so that power dissipation is also reduced.
