The pendulum can have an opening therein and the pin can extend through the pendulum opening and the carrier opening to pivotably couple the pendulum to the carrier. The switch assembly can be slidably positioned in a bore of the body and can have a lock member configured to selectively engage the pendulum based on a centrifugal force being below a predetermined threshold to lock movement of the pendulum relative to the carrier. | 02-19-2015 |
20150090073 | PENDULUM VIBRATION ABSORBER - A crankshaft can include a pendulum absorber and a retention arrangement. The pendulum absorber can include a carrier, a pendulum and a pin. The carrier can be coupled to a lobe and can have an opening. The pendulum can have an opening and the pin can be received in the openings to couple the pendulum to the carrier. The retention arrangement can include a retention flange and a retention pin. The retention flange can extend from the carrier or lobe. The retention pin can be coupled to the pendulum. The retention arrangement can maintain the retention pin in spaced relation to the retention surface during movement of the pendulum when the pin maintains the pendulum coupled to the carrier, and can retain the pendulum relative to the carrier through engagement of the retention pin and retention surface in an absence of the pin maintaining the pendulum coupled to the carrier. | 04-02-2015 |

20150036877 | SPARSE REDUCED (SPARE) FILTER - The disclosure provides a filtering engine for selecting sparse filter components used to detect a material of interest (or specific target) in a hyperspectral imaging scene and applying the sparse filter to a plurality of pixels in the scene. The filtering engine transforms a spectral reference representing the material of interest to principal components space using the eigenvectors of the scene. It then ranks sparse filter components based on each transformed component of the spectral reference. The filtering engine selects sparse filter components based on their ranks. The filtering engine performs the subset selection quickly because the computations are minimized; it processes only the spectral reference vector and covariance matrix of the scene to do the subset selection rather than process a plurality of pixels in the scene, as is typically done. The spectral filter scores for the plurality of pixels are calculated efficiently using the sparse filter. | 02-05-2015 |
20150036941 | POST COMPRESSION DETECTION (PoCoDe) - Provided are examples of a detecting engine for identifying detections in compressed scene pixels. For a given compressed scene pixel having a set of M basis vector coefficients, set of N basis vectors, and code linking the M basis vector coefficients to the N basis vectors, the detecting engine reduces a spectral reference (S) to an N-dimensional spectral reference (SN) based on the set of N basis vectors. The detecting engine computes an N-dimensional spectral reference detection filter (SN*) from SN and the inverse of an N-dimensional scene covariance (CN). The detecting engine forms an M-dimensional spectral reference detection filter (SM*) from SN* based on the compression code and computes a detection filter score based on SM*. The detecting engine compares the score to a threshold and determines, based on the comparison, whether the material of interest is present in the given compressed scene pixel and is a detection. | 02-05-2015 |

20140280360 | GRAPH DATABASE DEVICES AND METHODS FOR PARTITIONING GRAPHS - A method and apparatus for partitioning a graph database that includes nodes connected to one another is presented. The method entails determining a node type indicating a type of node that is to be used as mapped nodes, and upon receiving a new node, placing the new node in a partition according to one or more property values associated with the new node if it is a mapped node, and placing the new node in a partition according to its connections to other nodes if it is not a mapped node. The apparatus includes modules containing computer-executable instructions to perform the above method. | 09-18-2014 |
20140289197 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENSURING CONSISTENT OUTCOMES IN UPDATES TO DISTRIBUTED DATABASES - Methods of conducting database transactions. One such method comprises receiving data to be written to a database; identifying a set of shard replicas corresponding to the database to which the data is to be written; transmitting, to each of the replicas in the set, a request to write the data thereto; receiving votes back from the replicas in the set, each vote representing whether the respective replica commits to a writing of the data thereto; determining whether to commit to the writing of the data to the database according to whether a majority of the replicas of every shard having replicas in the set has transmitted a vote committing to the writing of the data thereto; and transmitting an outcome of the determining to each of the replicas in the set. | 09-25-2014 |
