Abstract: A memory system includes an interface and storage circuitry. The interface is configured to communicate with a plurality of memory cells that store data by setting the memory cells to analog voltages representative of respective storage values. The storage circuitry is configured to receive data for storage, to measure a temperature at a time of programming the received data, and, to program the received data to the memory cells using a first programming scheme when the measured temperature falls within a predefined normal temperature range, and otherwise to program the received data to the memory cells using a second programming scheme having a lower net storage utilization than the first programming scheme.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to using a convolutional neural network (CNN) for time-of-flight estimation in a wireless communication system. A wireless device may receive, from a remote device, wireless communications including a first transmission time value associated with the transmission of the wireless communications. The wireless device may perform a coarse time-of-arrival (TOA) estimation on the wireless communications received from the remote device. The coarse TOA estimation may be used to generate an estimated impulse response, which may be input to a CNN associated with the wireless device to calculate a line-of-sight estimate. The wireless device may determine a range between the wireless device and the remote device based on the transmission time value and the line-of-sight estimate.

Abstract: According to some embodiments of the present invention, there is provided a method for revealing at least a portion of a disguised password on a display device. The method comprises receiving a plurality of password characters typed by a user, presenting a plurality of replacement symbols in a password field displayed by a display device of a terminal having a touch surface, each the replacement symbol being indicative of the reception of another of the plurality of password characters, detecting a fingertip which slides contiguously against the touch surface, and temporarily replacing the presentation of at least some of the plurality of replacement symbols with of the presentation of at least some of the plurality of password characters in a sequential manner correspondingly with a movement of the fingertip.

Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying membership in one or more sets that are subsets of a global set are provided. The method compromises representing members of the global set by mapping each member to a distinct Boolean variable of length d, wherein 2d is not less than the number of members in the global set; representing each of the given subsets of the global set by a Boolean expression which evaluates to a first value for any of the assignments to the Boolean variables which represent members of the subset, and which evaluates to a second value for any of the assignments to the Boolean variables which represent members of the global set that are not members of the subset.

Abstract: A data processing method is provided. The method comprises collecting a stream of data records received from one or more data sources connected in a communications network; dividing the stream of data records into sets of data records for parallel processing by a plurality of concurrently running tasks, wherein a first task loads a persistent index associated with a first set of data records into memory to generate an in-memory version of the first persistent index for the first set of data records; and identifying duplicate and non-duplicate data records in the first set of data records, based on searching the in-memory version of the first persistent index.

Abstract: A method for simulating a computer system includes defining a set of building blocks including models of components of the computer system. The set of building blocks is interconnected to produce a topological model of the computer system. A client transaction model is derived based on historical data, for generating simulated client requests to be processed by the topological model. A resource requirement model is produced based on the topological model and on the historical data, the resource requirement model simulating a resource utilization of the components of the computer system responsively to the generated client requests. A performance metric of the computer system is estimated by simulating the computer system using the simulated client requests and the resource requirement model.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided to facilitate the optimization process of existing relational database managers when processing complex queries. Specialized constraining clauses are inserted in or added to SQL queries, which do not affect the semantics of the queries. This operation causes the RDBMS to partition the query into sub-queries, and to apply a more efficient optimization for each sub-query. A condition in which the execution time of the modified query substantially exceeds that of the original query may indicate a design flaw in the RDBMS query optimizer.
