Abstract: In one implementation, a method of playing audio is performed at a device including one or more processors coupled to non-transitory memory. The method includes playing audio associated with an object at a frequency-dependent volume based on a distance between a user location and an object location, an object orientation with respect to the user location, and the frequency-dependent three-dimensional audio emission pattern. In various implementations, methods of visualizing the frequency-dependent three-dimensional audio emission pattern and changing properties thereof are disclosed.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer-readable storage media for uncorrectable memory recovery. Different sources of uncorrectable memory error are handled to provide for recovery actions by a host kernel of a machine hosting one or more virtual machines. Rather than defaulting to kernel panic behavior, the host kernel can identify the source of uncorrectable error, and cause the host machine and/or the affected virtual machines to take recovery action that is less disruptive than abrupt shutdown from panic. For example, the host kernel can handle uncorrectable memory error caused by kernel accesses to guest memory of a host virtual machine, as well as uncorrectable memory error improperly raised as a result of known defects in host machine hardware. The host kernel can also be configured to detect sources of overflow in exceptions raised by a processor as a result of uncorrectable memory error.

Abstract: The present invention provides improved methods of protein purification using CEX chromatography. Such methods generally comprise the steps of: contacting a protein of interest (e.g., an antibody) with a cation exchange resin at a first pH, that is less than the pI of the most acidic isoform of the protein of interest, such that the protein of interest binds to the resin; washing the cation exchange resin at a second pH that is greater than the first pH, but less than the pI of the most acidic isoform of the protein of interest; and eluting the protein of interest from the resin at a third pH that is about equal to or less than the first pH. The methods of the invention are particularly useful for the commercial purification of recombinant therapeutic proteins (e.g., antibodies).

The method further comprises acquiring a plurality of groups of sparse matrices with known sparse matrix vector multiplication operation time as sample data, inputting the sample data into the convolutional neural network to train the convolutional neural network, and inputting the sparse matrix to be classified into the trained convolutional neural network to realize the prediction of the operation time of sparse matrix vector multiplication.

Abstract: Various implementations relate generally to multi-sensor devices. Some implementations more particularly relate to a multi-sensor device including a ring of radially-oriented photosensors. Some implementations more particularly relate to a multi-sensor device that is orientation-independent with respect to a central axis of the ring. Some implementations of the multi-sensor devices described herein further include one or more additional sensors. For example, some implementations include an axially-directed photosensor. Some implementations also can include one or more temperature sensors configured to sense an exterior temperature, for example, an ambient temperature of an outdoors environment around the multi-sensor. Additionally or alternatively, some implementations include one or more of an infrared sensor or infrared sensors, a cellular communication circuit, and a GPS module.

Abstract: One or more frames sampled from a media item of an event that is concurrently being streamed to one or more users of a content delivery platform are received. The one or more frames are analyzed to identify one or more candidate event clocks within the one or more frames. Whether a candidate event clock of the one or more candidate event clocks satisfies one or more conditions for each of the one or more frames is determined. Responsive to determining that the candidate event clock of the one or more candidate event clocks satisfies the one or more conditions, the candidate event clock is identified as an actual event clock used to time the event and mapping data that maps the actual event clock to a timestamp associated with a respective frame of the one or more frames of the media item is generated.

Abstract: The disclosed technology provides techniques, systems, and apparatus for containing and recovering from uncorrectable memory errors in distributed computing environment through migration of virtual machines and associated memory to a target host machine. An aspect of the disclosed technology includes a hypervisor or virtual machine manager that receives signaling of an uncorrectable memory error detected by a host machine. The virtual machine manager then uses information received via the signaling to identify virtual memory addresses or memory pages associated with the corrupted memory element so as to allow for containment and recovery from the error, and for live migration of the virtual machine.
