Abstract: Fabrication of a circuit board is facilitated by automatically determining an optimized power plane shape for a power plane of the circuit board, including ascertaining for the power plane a source location(s) and a sink location(s), where the source supplies power to the sink across the power plane. A center of current density is determined for the power plane shape, and a respective power plane sub-shape is incrementally generated between the center of current density and each source and sink location to, in part, supply a desired operational voltage from the source location(s) to the sink location(s) across the power plane. The respective power plane sub-shapes are combined into the optimized power plane shape. Further, the process includes initiating fabricating of the circuit board using, at least in part, the optimized power plane shape to provide the power plane shape within the circuit board.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products providing traffic light status notifications to drivers are provided. Aspects include determining that a first vehicle, operated by the driver, is approaching a traffic light and receiving, by the first vehicle, traffic light status data from one or more second vehicles in a vicinity of the traffic light via vehicle-to-vehicle communication. Aspects also include obtaining a traffic light pattern for the traffic light from a traffic light pattern database and determining a predicted status of the traffic light at a time when the first vehicle will reach the traffic light based on a speed of the first vehicle, the traffic light status data, and the traffic light pattern. Aspects further include notifying the driver of the predicted status of the traffic light.

Abstract: The present invention provides a computer implemented method, a system, and a computer program product for verifying a writing of a user. In an exemplary embodiment, the present invention includes in response to receiving a writing on a pressure sensing touchpad logically coupled a computer system, recording a position and a pressure of one or more points of the writing via a pressure sensing touchscreen, executing a set of logical operations normalizing the writing, comparing the normalized writing to one or more stored writing parameters, executing a set of logical operations determining the normalized writing is within a tolerance of writing parameter deviation limits, thereby verifying the writing, and in response to determining the writing is within the tolerance of writing parameter deviation limits, storing, by the computer system, a value indicating that the writing is valid.

Abstract: In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a list of items to be purchased by a user. The method further includes performing an analysis of the list of items based at least in part on a cost for each item of the list of items at each of a plurality of stores, a distance of travel to each of the plurality of stores, and promotional discounts for one or more of the items of the list of items at each of the plurality of stores. The method further includes generating a table of recommendations based on the analysis. Each recommendation of the table of recommendations can include a description, a total travel distance, and a total cost.

Abstract: A system and method to automatically determine power plane shape in a printed circuit board (PCB) involve obtaining inputs. The inputs include a size and shape of the PCB, a set of sources, and a set of sinks associated with a power plane. The method also includes determining a center of charge (CoC) as a center of largest current density for the set of sources and the set of sinks, and creating a sub-shape corresponding with a path from each source of the set of sources and from each sink of the set of sinks to the CoC. The creating the sub-shape includes determining a width of a conductor in the path corresponding with each of the sub-shapes. The sub-shapes created for the set of sources and the set of sinks are combined as the power plane shape.

Abstract: Self-acting devices and methods are provided for facilitating preventing product tip over. The self-acting device includes an anti-tip mechanism associated with a product to facilitate preventing tip over of the product when in an extended state. Further, the device includes an actuator associated with the product. The actuator is operatively coupled to facilitate transition of the anti-tip mechanism from a retracted state to the extended state. Further, an actuator control is provided to signal the actuator to facilitate transitioning the anti-tip mechanism from the retracted state to the extended state based on the actuator control detecting movement of the product across a floor.
