Abstract: Techniques for modifying queries in a set of nested queries are disclosed. A graphical user interface displays a query detail region alongside a nested query display region. The graphical user interface includes functionality to provide for modification of queries in the nested set of queries. Based on a selection by a user, a query modification tool promotes a query attribute from a child query to one or more parent queries. Based on another selection by a user associated with one query in the set of nested queries, the system deletes an attribute from each query in the set of nested queries. Responsive to a selection to create multiple conditions for a query rule, the system modifies the functionality of the user interface to enable entry of multiple condition characteristics. Based on a further selection, the system creates the multiple conditions for the query rule.

Abstract: The system includes a voice assistant receiving a voice command as input from user. The speech to text convertor converts the voice command into a text. A feature extractor extracts acoustic features from raw waveform of voice command and textual features from converted text for determining nearby context tokens. A multi modal unified attention sequence tagger determines a connection between the audio and the text based on an individual contextual embedding and a fused contextual embedding at context tokens level. It further tags replacement, cue and correction words sequentially based on determined connection between the audio and the text. An on-the-fly decoder decodes revised text on-the-fly based on tagged replacement, cue and correction words, to display the decoded revised text on user interface and sends the decoded revised text to NLP to generate a response corresponding to the input speech.

Abstract: Techniques for generating an interactive visualization tool for building nested queries are disclosed. The interactive nested query visualization tool allows a user to observe, analyze, and modify query characteristics and attributes of a set of nested queries. A system displays an interactive visual depiction of a set of nested queries. Visual representations of the nested queries are positioned relative to each other based on the relationships between the nested queries. The system displays, simultaneously with the set of nested queries, editable fields for a selected query. The system modifies a functionality of a user interface based on which of the nested queries is selected.

Abstract: Various embodiments enable a web site to expose various search providers that it promotes to browsers that navigate to that site. In at least some embodiments, the search providers are exposed using the HTML of a web page. When a browser navigates to that site, it processes the HTML of the associated web page and exposes the promoted search providers to the user. In at least some embodiments, the browser can permit use of one or more search providers without requiring the user to install the search provider. Alternately or additionally, in at least some other embodiments, the browser can enable the user to quickly and efficiently install the search provider so that the search provider can be available whenever the user uses their browser application.

Abstract: To improve resource utilization efficiency of query compliance check, which is check as to whether a query complies with a restriction imposed on data. The query compliance check is roughly divided into data flow policy check as to whether a data flow policy that defines a restriction on data transfer within a county or between countries is complied with, and organization rule check as to whether an organization rule that defines a restriction on sharing outside an organization is complied with, which are hierarchically configured. By analyzing a received query, a system identifies one or more data items as target input/output (I/O) data according to the query, and executes the data flow policy check on the identified one or more data items. When a result of the data flow policy check is false, the system returns a result that the query is compliance violation without executing the organization rule check.

Abstract: Transactions may be performed using a mobile device such as a user-wearable device using LoRaWAN protocol to minimize power consumption while maximizing communication range. Transaction information may be stored in the user-wearable device and transmitted to a transaction processing device using LoRaWAN communications. Transaction information may include user-specific information, payment information, merchant information, product information, user preference information and the like. In some instances, the only communication interface (or wireless communication interface) provided in the mobile device is a LoRaWAN communication interface.

Abstract: Transactions between entities may be validated using LoRaWAN communications to more quickly process those transactions. In the example of check depositing, a first entity associated with a check payee may transmit a check clearance request to a second entity associated with a check payor using LoRaWAN communications. The LoRaWAN signaling and communications may be performed between devices within LoRaWAN range. For example, a check depositing device may receive a check deposit where the payor is associated with a different financial institution or entity. Accordingly, the check depositing device may communicate with another device associated with the payor institution or entity using LoRaWAN signals to confirm check clearance.

Abstract: Communication, authentication, and/or validation may be required in various types of device interactions. For example, for some types of device functions, user or device authentication may be required to confirm that the function can and should be performed. Authentication information may be communicated and authentication and/or validation may be performed using LoRaWAN signaling. LoRaWAN signaling provides low power and long-range communication capabilities to efficiently and effectively perform authentication processes. In some arrangements, LoRaWAN signals may be generated by both a first device (e.g., a user device) and a second device (e.g., a function-performing device) and subsequently compared to determine whether they correspond. This correspondence may provide the requisite authentication or validation of the first device and/or an associated user.

Abstract: Device information may be obtained using LoRaWAN communications. A device information request may be generated and transmitted by a user device and include request parameters such as a device type for which information is desired, a type of information requested, a geographic range for the request, and the like and/or combinations thereof. Device information requests may also be propagated or repeated by intermediary devices to achieve the desired request range. Accordingly, a recipient device of the original request may propagate or repeat, using LoRaWAN, a request signal if it determines that the request range has not been met. If the request range has been met, the recipient device might not repeat the request.

Abstract: A ring oscillator circuit with a frequency that is sensitive to the timing of a clock-to-Q (clk2Q) propagation delay of one or more flip-flops utilized in the ring oscillator. The clock2Q is the delay between the clock signal arriving at the clock pin on the flop and the Q output reflecting the state of the input data signal to the flop. Clk2q delay measurements are made based on measurement of the ring oscillator frequency, leading to more accurate estimates of clk2Q for different types of flip-flops and flip-flop combinations, which may in turn enable improvements in circuit layouts, performance, and area.

Abstract: A sign bit of a low-density parity-check (LDPC) codeword associated with a translation unit (TU) can be generated by performing an XOR operation on a RAIN drop corresponding to the TU and a raw read of the TU. The LDPC codeword can include a hard bit and three soft bits that include the sign bit. The LDPC codeword can be decoded using the hard bit and the three soft bits. A read recovery operation can be performed on the TU using the decoded LDPC codeword.

Abstract: Determining whether a particular sample is what it is labeled or sold as is an important concept, particularly to those who buy or sell food products. Particularly for end users, a fast, efficient, accurate way of determining whether a sample is being accurately marketed and sold is necessary. This invention allows a user to rapidly determine if a product is from a certain species or not, based on genetic markers for that product.

Abstract: Techniques for tracing attributes through queries in a set of nested queries are disclosed. A graphical user interface displays individual sub-queries as separate visual representations. Based on detecting a selection, a system analyzes data underlying the visual representations to identify queries, among the set of nested queries, that are associated with a particular attribute. One selection results in the system analyzing the underlying data to identify an origin query for an attribute, from among the set of nested queries. Another selection results in the system analyzing the underlying data to identify queries, from among the set of nested queries, that use the attribute received from a selected query. Another selection results in the system generating SQL code for a selected subset of queries, among the set of nested queries.

Abstract: Technologies related to predicting whether a requested change (deployment) in a cloud computing environment will fail are described herein. An exposomic feature value is computed based upon a time series of risk values, where the risk values represent risk of failure over several historic time intervals. A probabilistic model computes a likelihood that the requested deployment will fail during implementation of the requested deployment based upon the exposomic feature value and a contextual feature value, and a notification is transmitted to a computing device of a change manager to allow the change manager to take remedial action.
