    Abstract: An inner mandrel for forming a variable taper component includes a plurality of interlocking pieces and a brace. Each interlocking piece defines opposed tapered edge faces, a first surface, and a tapered second surface opposite the first surface. One of the edge faces defines a locking feature and another of the edge faces defines a receiving feature engaging the locking feature of an adjacent interlocking piece. The first surface defines a variable taper and a plurality of recesses. The brace secures the plurality of interlocking pieces to each other in a concentric arrangement about a central axis. A maximum width of each of the interlocking pieces is smaller than a minimum width of an end portion of the variable taper component. A central portion of the variable taper component is wider than the end portions.

  • Publication number: 20230109775
    Abstract: A system has grid forming capability. A connect-disconnect switch is connectable to a power transmission grid and connectable to a distribution grid that may have renewable energy generation sources and loads. A shunt inverter system comprising a 4-quadrant DC-to-AC inverter and a battery power source is connectable to the distribution grid. A controller controls the connect-disconnect switch to connect and disconnect the distribution grid from the power transmission grid, or disconnect a first segment of the distribution grid from a second segment of the distribution grid. The controller operates the shunt inverter system to provide power factor correction to the distribution grid under normal operation. The controller operates the shunt inverter system with switching and current control instructions to enable grid forming and sustaining of continued operation of the distribution grid.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to workload-based dynamic throttling of video processing functions. Systems and methods are disclosed that dynamically throttle video processing and/or streaming based on a workload. Live video is captured from one or more sources (e.g., cameras) and stored. The video is then provided to a video processing engine and a video streaming engine. The video processing engine may perform one or more operations such as object detection, object tracking, and object classification to produce characterization data (e.g., bounding boxes, object trajectories, alerts, object labels, object counts, boundary crossings, intersection highlighting, etc.). System resource usage and performance of the video processing and streaming are monitored to produce workload data (e.g., metrics). Based on the policies and the workload data, the video streaming and/or processing is dynamically reconfigured by adjusting parameters provided to the video streaming and processing engines.

The health of an API can include multiple factors. The factors may include correctness of the data returned/output by the API. A high amount of incorrect data may correlate to a lower health metric. A low amount of incorrect data may correlate to a higher health metric. If a health metric value falls below a predetermined threshold, it may indicate that the API health is poor, and hence, should not be used, or should be used with caution, depending on the application. In embodiments, an alternate API may be automatically selected as a replacement for an API in response to a health metric falling below a predetermined threshold.

The barrier layer includes a fluoropolymer and having opposed first and second major surfaces, where the first major surface is modified by a surface treatment and wherein the top layer is disposed on the first major surface. When bonding to a curable substrate, the barrier layer can prevent migration of low molecular weight species from the curable substrate into the polyurethane network, thereby avoiding discoloration resulting from exposure of these species to ultraviolet light and other weathering factors.

  • Publication number: 20230109810
    Abstract: A compute device may include one or more processors operable at variable performance levels depending upon power supplied from a compute device power supply. A baseboard management controller of the compute device may periodically calculate an adjustment value for the power supply to adjust the power delivered to the one or more processors. The adjustment value may be calculated as a function of a thermal margin between the temperature of the one or more processors over time and a thermal operating limit of the one or more processors.
