Abstract: A facility for procuring and analyzing information about an anatomical surface feature from a caregiver that is usable to generate an assessment of the surface feature is described. The facility displays information about the surface feature used in the assessment of the surface feature. The facility obtains user input and/or data generated by an image capture device to assess the surface feature or update an existing assessment of the surface feature.

Abstract: A system includes a memory device and a command manager configured to reorder read requests. The command manager is configured to receive a read response associated with a transaction identifier for the read request. A free list entry for the read request is allocated from a free list. The free list entry is associated with a transaction identifier of the read request. A tail index of a reordering queue is written to a remapping queue based on the free list entry. The tail index is configured to provide a write address of the reordering queue that is allocated for the read request. A read response associated with the transaction identifier for the read request is received. The read response is written to the allocated entry of the reordering queue.

Abstract: A system includes a host device having a first buffer with ordered data. An accelerator device has a data movement processor and a reordering buffer. A multiple-channel interface couples the host device and the data movement processor of the accelerator device. The data movement processor is configured to issue a read command for a portion of the ordered data. In coordination with issuing the read command, an entry of the reordering buffer is allocated. A transaction identifier for the read command is allocated. Unordered responses are received from the host device via the multiple-channel interface. The responses include respective portions of the ordered data and a respective transaction identifier. The responses are reordered in the reordering buffer based on the respective transaction identifiers and the allocated entry of the reordering buffer.

Abstract: Host and accelerator devices can be coupled using various interfaces, such as Compute Express Link (CXL). In an example, user applications can have protected access to a shared set of control parameters for different queues. A protocol can allow an application to use a unique memory page at the accelerator device through which the application can access control parameters, such as can be used to control memory-based communication queues or other queues. In an example, there can be multiple sets of control parameters in a single memory page. The protocol can allow views of the single memory page from respective different application processes. In an example, the protocol can include or use an access check to detect and handle unauthorized accesses to particular parameters.

Abstract: A management system is described. The management system includes an interface coupled to a plurality of infrastructure appliances and one or more processors to monitor each of the plurality of infrastructure appliances, detect a malfunction at a first of the infrastructure appliances, and transmit a display message to one or more of the plurality of infrastructure appliances that are adjacent to the first infrastructure appliance, wherein a display message indicates one or more activity light indicators to be activated at an adjacent infrastructure appliance.

Abstract: Various examples are directed to an arrangement comprising a first hardware compute element and a hardware balancer element. The first hardware compute element may send a first request message to a hardware balancer element. The first request message may describe a processing task. The hardware balancer element may send a second request message towards a second hardware compute element for executing the processing task and send to the first compute element a first reply message in reply to the first request message. After sending the first reply message, the hardware balancer element may receive a first completion request message indicating that the processing task is assigned and send, to the first hardware computing element, a second completion request message, the second completion request message indicating that the processing task is assigned.

Abstract: An x-ray tube source is disclosed that allows differential phase shift, attenuation, and x-ray scattering features of an object to be acquired in a single exposure. Such multiplexed x-ray tube source includes multiple x-ray spot origins controlled in such a way that each slightly separated spot is temporally modulated “ON and OFF” at differing frequencies. In an x-ray interferometer system, such x-ray tube source forms multiple illumination beams of a single angular view of an object's feature but each with different interference fringe locations. A composite image can be acquired with a high frame-rate digital detector as a component element in such x-ray interferometer system. Such composite image can be subsequently de-multipexed and separately presented according to each spot-source illumination beam.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns snake-derived peptides and the useful application of such peptides to inhibit bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic infections. The disclosed peptides are also useful for the treatment of an inflammatory condition or cancers.

Abstract: An amusement park ride vehicle includes a chassis, a cabin, a slider, and a rotator. The chassis is configured to direct the ride vehicle along a ride path in a direction of travel. The cabin is configured to hold one or more passengers. The slider is configured to translate between a neutral position and a cantilevered position relative to the chassis in a direction substantially transverse to the direction of travel and to carry the rotator and the cabin along the direction substantially transverse to the direction of travel. The rotator is coupled between the slider and the cabin, and is configured to rotate the cabin relative to the slider.

Abstract: This invention relates to chemical polymer compositions, methods of synthesis, and fabrication methods for devices regarding polymers capable of displaying shape memory behavior (SMPs) and which can first be polymerized to a linear or branched polymeric structure, having thermoplastic properties, subsequently processed into a device through processes typical of polymer melts, solutions, and dispersions and then crossed linked to a shape memory thermoset polymer retaining the processed shape.

Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) diagnostic tool embodied as a software application on a portable device employs AR infrastructure to enable a user to locate a failed/malfunctioning node of a cluster and, with minimal interaction, diagnose causes and provide recommendations to repair the node. The portable device may be a computer embodied as visualization technology and configured to execute the software application. Once installed, the AR diagnostic (ARD) tool is ready for use by the user, e.g., a customer service technician, to locate and repair one or more failed cluster nodes. In response to a failure/malfunction, the cluster node sends diagnostic and configuration information (i.e., failure/malfunction information) of the failed node to an analytics service. The failure information informs the technician of the cluster failure. The technician may then activate the ARD tool and AR infrastructure to locate and repair the failed node.

Abstract: Various embodiments herein each include at least one of systems, methods, software, and data structures for product identifier not-on-file imaging system and processing. Some such embodiments include solutions that automate capturing and communicating images of imaged items for which an item identifier (e.g., UPC, DIGIMARC) cannot be located to facilitate correction and updating of product lookup databases to remove inefficiencies and sub-optimal experiences and realization at checkout. One such embodiment in the form of a method includes delivering, to a product pricing update location, an image of an item presented to a product scanner for scanning upon an occurrence of an item-not-on-file event indicating an unsuccessful price lookup database query performed with regard to an item identifier read by the product scanner from the presented item.
