Determining Adjusted Playback Speeds For Media Content, Victor Carbune, Alexandru Damian

Defensive Publications Series

Disclosed herein is an improved mechanism for determining adjusted playback speeds for media content. The mechanism can receive an indication of a media stream to be viewed by a user. The mechanism can then determine information associated with the media stream, such as metadata associated with the media stream and/or features associated with the user. Based on the information associated with the media stream, the mechanism can determine an adjusted playback speed of the media stream using a machine learning model, such as, for example, a trained neural network. The mechanism can, in some cases, cause a suggestion to be …

Measuring Irradiance On A Print Bed, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

Some 3D printing technology is based on selective powder material fusion. In terms of temperature, this

fusing process is developed in two different stages.

In a first stage a subsystem called top heating is responsible for maintaining a homogeneous

temperature over the whole print bed, this temperature is close to the powder material fusing

temperature. On this stage current implementations use infrared sensor cameras to provide feedback to

the lamp controller trying to meet required irradiance level.

In a second stage a subsystem called fusing lamps attached to the printing carriage rise temperature to

the melting point on printed areas. …

Weight Control Of Dual Supplies Using The Deviation Of Their Center Of Mass, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

The invention disclosure presented here describes a method for measuring the mass of two

different Ink/Agent Supplies, or any other supply depending the application, using the displacement of

their combined center of masses. This is done using only two separated force sensors, such as load

cells, allocated at the sides of the two supplies.

With this invention the number of force sensors is reduced from typically four per Supply to just

one, which simplifies design, reduces cost and improves reliability.

Pps Field Measurement, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure relates to the field of additive manufacturing. 3D printers that rely on agent jetting

technology require a very precise distance between print head nozzles and the powder bed surface. A

large distance between the print head nozzles and the powder material can lead to drop trajectory

errors, sprayed drops, and other image quality errors layer by layer which will end up affecting final part

mechanical, dimensional and cosmetic properties. On the other hand, a small distance can cause print

head contamination or even interference between print heads and printed parts causing major defects

in the plot.

Selective And Multiple Scan Outputs, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

The present paper proposes three new solutions to provide an enhanced and unique

user experience for document scanning.

Some printers have larger control panels and thus support cropping of scanner output

using an on-device preview feature. Some printers, however, may not be able to access

such an on-device scan cropping feature, such as due to control panel limitations, such

as limited screen space, by way of example.

In this paper, a simple, unique and cost effective approach to enhancing scan user

experiences is proposed to enable users to:

- Scan a part (sub-area) of an input print media

- Scan …

Service Adjustment Tool For Print Head To Belt Spacing, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

Large-Format Printers usually have a special adjustment process in the factory to ensure the correct spacing

between the Print Head and the Belt. This distance (also known as PBS "Pint Head to Belt Spacing") is very important

as the Printer's algorithms uses it to calculate when the ink drop needs to be fired from the Print Head to place it on

top of the media. This parabola is calculated assuming the PBS is 2.3mm with a tolerance of 0.5mm. By ensuring this

PBS distance is within specs, printer's Image Quality is also ensured.

Using Energy Consumption Metrics To Make Machine-Learning Models Energy Optimal, Gurunathan Nagarajan

Defensive Publications Series

Smart computing devices continue to increase in popularity, availability, and functionality. A smart computing device, such as a security camera, collects or senses information and processes that information. In processing the information, the smart computing device engages in machine-learning processes to make inferences or predictions based on the collected information. Hardware components, energy resources, and even the environment in which the smart computing device resides affect the capability of the smart computing device to process the collected information and make the inferences or predictions. Tracking and optimizing energy consumption can increase the efficiency and efficacy of smart computing devices. Energy …

Distributed Placement Of Machine-Learning Computing In An Edge Network, Karthik Ravi Shankar, Gurunathan Nagarajan

Defensive Publications Series

Smart devices continue to proliferate as the Internet-of-Things expands. Collectively, Internet-of-Things devices generate massive amounts of data for processing, analysis, and implementation. However, most individual smart devices lack sufficient hardware resources to process collected data in an efficient or timely manner. Thus, most devices send their data to a remote server or other cloud-based computing system for processing because of the increased computational capacities of such remote locations. Although these remote locations can process the data faster and more efficiently, the increase in the number of smart devices accessing the remote locations increases the transmission traffic, and associated bottlenecks, on …
