Abstract: An automated method of moving aircraft parts between facilities includes determining a dispatch reliability rate associated with a group of aircraft parts. The dispatch reliability rate indicates a percentage of incoming flights meeting departure demands at a first facility, and the departure demands are based on the group of aircraft parts. The automated method also includes comparing the dispatch reliability rate to a dispatch reliability rate threshold associated with the group of aircraft parts to generate comparison data. The automated method further includes determining to adjust a stock level of at least one aircraft part of the group of aircraft parts at the first facility based on the comparison data. The automated method further includes moving a quantity of the at least one aircraft part between the first facility and a second facility to adjust the stock level of the at least one aircraft part at the first facility.

Abstract: Markup language documents including server side scripting code using PHP syntax are executed efficiently in response to requests received by a server. The processing of the markup language document results in generation of a transformed markup language document that is returned in response to the request. The server side script code is input to a compiler that generates C++ code (or code in any object-based language based on C language) implementing the functionality of the server side script code. The C++ code is compiled to generated object code which is executed in order to process the markup language document. The generated C++ code includes functionality supported by PHP language including redeclaration of functions, dynamic variables, global variables, and the like. The generated C++ code invokes memory allocation code that allocates and deallocates objects obtained by instantiating the generated C++ classes.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for transferring a robot customer service to a human customer service are provided. One of the methods includes: obtaining conversation characteristics from at least one round of conversations between the robot customer service and a customer; obtaining state characteristics of the customer; inputting the conversation characteristics and the state characteristics into a confidence score evaluation model to obtain a confidence score evaluation value; and when the confidence score evaluation value meets a robot-to-human intervention condition, transferring the customer to the human customer service. The confidence score evaluation model is a machine learning model, comprising a linear sub-model input with the conversation characteristics and a deep neural network sub-model input with the state characteristics.

Abstract: A method is provided that protects electronic Identity information based on key derived operation. The method includes using an electronic Identity server to send an application derived identifier of the application and user electronic Identity code to a host security module that randomly generates an application master key, encrypts the application derived identifier with the application master key, and gets an application encryption key. The host security module encrypts the user electronic Identity code with the application encryption key, and gets an encryption document. The electronic Identity server codes the encryption document and an application identity code, and gets an application electronic Identity code. The electronic Identity server uses the application electronic Identity code as the user identifier.

Abstract: Dynamic erasure coding for computing and data storage systems. A method embodiment commences upon accessing a set of fault tolerance policy attributes associated with the computing and data storage system. The topology of the system is analyzed to form mappings between the computing nodes of the system and the availability domains of the system. Based on the fault tolerance policy attributes, the topology, and the generated mapping, a plurality of feasible erasure coding configurations are generated. The feasible erasure coding configurations are scored. One or more high-scoring feasible erasure coding configurations are selected and deployed to the computing and data storage system. The method is repeated when there is a change in the fault tolerance policy attributes or in the topology. Depending on the topology and/or the nature of a change in the topology, more than one erasure coding configurations can be deployed onto the computing and data storage system.

Abstract: A method of converting an input frame rate of input video frames includes upsampling at least some of the input video frames to produce upsampled frames at a higher frame rate than the input frame rate, applying a filter to combine together multiple frames at a single pixel location, downsampling the upsampled frames to an output frame rate. A method of converting an input frame rate of input video frames includes grouping input video frames together, wherein a number of groups per second is less than a capture frame rate, and interpolating the frames within a group to obtain a desired shutter angle, wherein an average time between frames within a group is less than a time between groups.
