Abstract: A computer-implemented method causes data processing hardware to perform operations for training a firewall utilization model. The operations include receiving firewall utilization data for firewall connection requests during a utilization period. The firewall utilization data includes hit counts for each sub-rule associated with at least one firewall rule. The operations also include generating training data based on the firewall utilization data. The training data includes unused sub-rules corresponding to sub-rules having no hits during the utilization period and hit sub-rules corresponding to sub-rules having more than zero hits during the utilization period. The operations also include training a firewall utilization model on the training data. The operations further include, for each sub-rule associated with the at least one firewall rule, determining a corresponding sub-rule utilization probability indicating a likelihood the sub-rule will be used for a future connection request.

Abstract: A memory device with adaptive sense time tables is disclosed. In order to maintain a desired (initial or preset) threshold voltage distribution, the sense time is adjusted as the program-erase cycle count increases. The program-erase cycle process tends to wear down memory cells, causing the QPW window to expand and the threshold voltage to widen. However, by adjusting (i.e., reducing) the sense time for increased program-erase cycles, the QPW window and the threshold voltage can be at least substantially maintained. Additionally, systems and methods for adjusting sense time based on die-to-die variations are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for reinforcing soft ground by post-grouting combined with pressurized vacuum preloading is proposed, by pre-burying prefabricated vertical drains and air-boosted pipes in granular material piles, and the air-boosted pipes are used as grouting pipes to reduce the number of times of piling, which not only improves the construction efficiency, but also reduces the structural disturbance of the soil and the influence of smear effect, thus reducing the impact on the radial permeability and the radial consolidation coefficients. The method does not use geotextile bags for granular materials, which can avoid the problem of forming a localized clogging area around the geotextile bags, and the method not only improves the efficiency of vacuum transfer in a pre-consolidation stage, but also improves the grouting effect in the later stage, effectively enhances the strength of soft soil and makes granular material piles and the surrounding soil form composite ground.

The computerized simulation validating system, apparatus, and medium for a full-scale distribution network single phase-to-ground fault test also achieve the benefits noted above.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a data receiving apparatus and a data receiving method having blind deconvolution mechanism. A descrambling circuit descrambles received data according to an antenna assumption and N data position assumptions within a transmission period to generate N groups of soft-bit data. A soft-bit processing circuit retrieves bit position data to determine non-variable bit positions and variable bit positions. N circular buffers of a storage circuit store and superimpose the N groups of soft-bit data corresponding to N data position assumptions in a circular manner to generate N groups of superimposed results and keep the data corresponding to the non-variable bit positions. A post-processing circuit performs de-interleaving and decoding on the N groups of superimposed results to generate N groups of decoded results to perform redundancy check thereon. When one decoded results passes the redundancy check, the soft-bit processing circuit stops performing the blind deconvolution process.
