Migration of a user of a computing device to accept an updated version of a software feature to the exclusion of a prior version of the software feature is implemented without user friction. Telemetry data corresponding to use of the updated version and of the prior version is stored. The telemetry data is evaluated utilizing a trained machine learning model trained using external telemetry data with respect to use of the updated version and to use of the prior version. A migration acceptance value indicative of whether the user will accept use of the updated version to exclusion of the prior version is calculated. The migration acceptance value is compared to a threshold value determined by the trained model. If the migration acceptance value exceeds the threshold value, the prior version is excluded from the user profile.

Methods and devices for using candidate accounts on a computer device may include creating on the computer device, a candidate account representing a blank user profile for use on the computer device. The methods and devices may include automatically logging in the candidate account and locking the computer device. The methods and devices may include creating a user specific isolated environment on the computer device for the candidate account.

Candidate user profiles for fast, isolated operating system use

This invention features the concept of packaging a transmission so that it can be selectively embodied in any drive system as a unitary structure and serve per se, if desired, as the hub of a rotary drive element. A distinctive feature of this package is that the housing of the transmission unit serves as an output element. A preferred embodiment of the above described concept incorporates details of an output speed-controlled transmission comprising an input shaft, an output shaft and adjustable drive means by which said input shaft drives said output shaft and is characterized by means responsive to the rotational speed of the output shaft to adjust the drive means so as to maintain a predetermined rotational speed condition of the input shaft.

Encapsulated transmission unit

An output speed-controlled transmission comprising an input shaft, an output shaft and adjustable drive means through which said input shaft drives said output shaft. Means are provided in association with the output shaft and responsive to the rotational speed thereof; the last mentioned responsive means being operatively related to the drive means to adjust the drive means to maintain a predetermined rotational speed condition of the input shaft.
