Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying and evicting idle sessions include training a machine learning model as a session classifying model to learn rules for classifying active sessions between clients and the cloud-based service. The session classifying model is trained to receive a plurality of parameters pertaining to the document associated with an active session as input and to apply the rules to the plurality of parameters to determine a classification for the active session and to provide an output indicative of the classification for the active session. The session classifying model is then utilized in the cloud-based service to classify the active sessions. The active sessions classified as idle sessions may then be evicted from the cloud-based service.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology include an improved system for measuring the impacts of feature rollouts on machine utilization and service performance. More specifically, embodiments of the present technology include an exposure control system based on randomized machine assignments and a corresponding score card for comparing machine utilization metrics. In an embodiment, a computing apparatus identifies a new feature in a codebase, wherein the codebase has been updated with the new feature across multiple resources, enables the new feature for a target group of the multiple resources while keeping the new feature dormant for a control group of the multiple resources, collects performance information for the target group and the control group for a time period, and generates a visualization of one or more differences between the performance information for the target group and the performance information for the control group for the time period.

Abstract: A method of patterning a substrate is provided. The method includes modifying a surface of a metal-containing layer formed over a substrate positioned in a processing region of a processing chamber by exposing the surface of the metal-containing layer to plasma effluents of a chlorine-containing gas precursor and an oxygen-containing gas precursor to form a modified surface of the metal-containing layer. The method further includes directing plasma effluents of an inert gas precursor towards the modified surface of the metal-containing layer. The plasma effluents of the inert gas precursor are directed by applying a bias voltage to a substrate support holding the substrate. The method further includes anisotropically etching the modified surface of the metal-containing layer with the plasma effluents of the inert gas precursor to form a first recess having a first sidewall in the metal-containing layer.

Abstract: Pressure/strain piezoresistive are described that include a poled piezoelectric polymer such as PVDF or P(VDF-TrFE) and graphene. The poled piezoelectric polymer and the graphene are electronically coupled to form a heterojunction and provide an ultra-high sensitivity pressure/strain sensor. The sensors can be carried on a flexible supporting substrate such as PDMS or PET to exhibit high flexibility. The materials of formation can be biocompatible and the sensors can be wearable or implantable.

Abstract: Devices and methods relate to a portable self-powered wireless sensor and transmitter providing a tactile driven electric generator, using a 3D printed nano carbon and polymer electrodes. The device has two electrodes capable of producing greater than 2000 V, which when connected to a metal conductor is sufficient to create an electric field that can be used to wirelessly communicate a signal over a range of a few tens of meters. The sensor is completely self-powered and requires no motors or additional power such as active power supplies, batteries, or capacitors. The sensor generated waveform can be modulated by mechanical action such as hand tapping in a given sequence, which is preserved in the wireless signal (akin to Morse coding) and can be detected by existing compatible commercial electronic receivers. Resulting devices are suitable for security applications requiring wireless transmission of codes.
