Abstract: The present embodiments introduce a new type of random access point in video bitstreams that can be used for random access operations but can be represented in encoded form at a lower bit-cost as compared to IRAP pictures. The random access point is a dependent random access point (DRAP) picture that is encoded and decoded using an IRAP picture and/or a previous, according to a decoding order, DRAP picture as sole reference picture(s) for the DRAP picture. The DRAP picture is encoded as a trailing picture that may be used for reference and constitutes a random access point in a video bitstream.

Abstract: A hardware-type-based multi-component personality configuration system includes a first component stock including first hardware type components having a first hardware type, a second component stock including second hardware type components having a second hardware type that is different than the first hardware type, and a component configuration system. The component configuration system identifies computing device order(s) for computing device(s) that include a plurality of components, and determines that a respective personality configuration in the computing device order(s) for each of a first subset of the plurality components included in the computing device(s) may be provided by the first hardware type components.

Abstract: A storage device write-read error reduction system includes a computing device that includes a storage device. The storage device determines, at a temperature that is within a predefined temperature range, that a storage device background operation should be performed and, in response, identifies data that is stored in the storage device and that was written to the storage device outside the predefined temperature range. The storage device then prioritizes the data that was written to the storage device outside the predefined temperature range over data that was written to the storage device within the predefined temperature range and, based on that prioritization, performs the storage device background operation to rewrite the data to the storage device.

Abstract: A method of forming a fuel cell interconnect includes depositing a Cr alloy powder, sintering the Cr alloy powder, and repeating the depositing and the sintering to form the fuel cell interconnect. The Cr alloy powder may include a pre-alloyed powder containing from about 4 wt. % to about 6 wt. % Fe, and from about 94 wt. % to about 96 wt. % Cr.

Abstract: This specification describes systems and methods for using Zero Echo Time (ZTE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences for applications to functional MRI (fMRI). In some examples, a system for functional magnetic resonance imaging includes a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner and a control console implemented on at least one processor. The control console is configured for executing, using the MRI scanner, a zero echo time (ZTE) pulse sequence; acquiring, using the MRI scanner, magnetic resonance data in response to the ZTE pulse sequence; and constructing at least one MRI image using the magnetic resonance data and measuring tissue oxygenation (PtO2)-related T1 changes as a proxy of neural activity changes of a subject using the at least one MRI image.

Abstract: A hard disk drive (HDD) including a first resistive temperature detector (RTD) configured to detect a temperature generated by proximity of a slider and a media. The first RTD is proximate an air bearing surface (ABS) of the slider. The HDD also includes a second RTD configured to detect at least one temperature correlated to a fly-height of the slider. The second RTD is not required to be proximate the ABS of the slider. HDD also includes a read/write integrated circuit (IC) configured to determine the fly-height of the slider based on detection of temperatures by the first RTD and the second RTD.

Abstract: In a method of head-disk contact detection in a hard disk drive, a Radio Frequency (RF) carrier signal is injected into a slider which is flying above a surface of a disk in a hard disk drive. A modulated version of the RF carrier signal is received from the slider. The modulated version of the RF carrier signal is demodulated to achieve a demodulated signal. A signal spectrum of a range of frequencies in the demodulated signal is monitored for activity indicative of a contact between a head of the slider and the surface of the disk. An occurrence of the contact is determined based upon an occurrence of the activity.

Abstract: High speed networking systems such as PCI-Express and Serial Rapid I/O are based on the exchange of packets across switched networks of high speed serial links. Information in the headers of these packets indicate the kind of transaction they represent. Queuing all received packets in a single queue will cause interactions between transaction types. Indirection can be used create the effect of multiple independent queues from a shared memory. This provides efficient centralized packet storage, while allowing independent processing of different transactions types.
