Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a power source (39) to output a voltage having an alternating waveform to transfer a toner image from an image bearing member (31) to a recording medium. A time-averaged value (Vave) of the voltage has a polarity in a transfer direction, in which the toner image is transferred from the image bearing member (31) to the recording medium, and an absolute value of the time-averaged value is greater than a midpoint value (Voff) of the voltage intermediate between a maximum value and a minimum value of the voltage. As a roughness of the recording medium increases, a duty ratio (Duty) expressed by A / (A+B) is reduced, where A is an area of the waveform of the voltage in a return direction opposite the transfer direction relative to the midpoint value in one cycle and B is an area in the transfer direction relative to the midpoint value.

Abstract: A multi-relational data set is represented by a probabilistic multi-relational data model in which each entity of the multi-relational data set is represented by a D-dimensional latent feature vector. The probabilistic multi-relational data model is trained using a collection of observations of relations between entities of the multi-relational data set. The collection of observations includes observations of at least two different relation types. A prediction is generated for an observation of a relation between two or more entities of the multi-relational data set based on a dot product of the optimized D-dimensional latent feature vectors representing the two or more entities. The training may comprise optimizing the D-dimensional latent feature vectors to maximize likelihood of the collection of observations, for example by Bayesian inference performed using Gibbs sampling.

Abstract: Distributed storage systems support SQL while also providing scalability and fault tolerance by utilizing an SQL library (the SQL execution component) layered on top of a transactional key-value system (the storage component). The SQL library comprises a parser and an execution engine running at the client, while the storage component comprises a key-value system for storing the data. The SQL library parses SQL queries received from client applications and maps them to transactions on the key-value system. The key-value system stores data items identified by key and provides concurrency control mechanisms to handle concurrent transactions. The key-value system may be a distributed system with several storage servers, each attached to one or more storage devices.

Abstract: A weapon-locating ladar system estimates a backward trajectory of an airborne target by using flow field measurements to follow the wake turbulence trailing the airborne target from a position at which the target is detected backwards until the wake is no longer observable. The system may use the backward trajectory to estimate the point-of-origin of the target. The system may also use the flow field measurements along the backward trajectory to classify the target. Target classification may be used to refine the point-of-origin estimate, to influence counter-fire or to adapt the flow field measurements.
