Abstract: A light attenuator that provides transparent light states and absorbing dark states for use in selectively controlling light, especially for smart glass applications. The light attenuator includes abutting areas of attenuation and transparency that form a repeat pattern or a quasi-repeat pattern. The attenuating areas are visible when the light attenuator is in the light state, but the repeat pattern is sufficiently large that a viewer looks through the attenuator and sees no haze.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system manages a plurality of first weights that correspond to the plurality of queues, and a plurality of second weights that correspond to the plurality of queues. The memory system selects a queue of a largest or smallest second weight, of the plurality of queues, as a queue of a highest priority, and starts execution of a command stored in the selected queue. The memory system updates the second weight corresponding to the selected queue by subtracting the first weight corresponding to the selected queue from the second weight corresponding to the selected queue or by adding the first weight corresponding to the selected queue to the second weight corresponding to the selected queue.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a first client for approximate linkage of datasets over quasi-identifiers. The mechanism receives a generalization logic data structure representing sets of values for each quasi-identifier in a first dataset of the first client. For each record in the first dataset, the mechanism generates at least one generalization of a value of a given quasi-identifier in the first dataset based on a selected generalization logic data structure corresponding to the given quasi-identifier and generates a generalized record for each of the at least one generalization to form a first generalized dataset. The mechanism sends the first generalized dataset to a semi-trusted third party for approximate linkage of the first dataset with a second dataset of a second client, receives an approximate join result from the semi-trusted third party, performs post-processing on the approximate join result, and determines a final linkage result based on the post-processing.

Abstract: A system dynamically changes a data de-identification ruleset applied to a dataset for de-identifying data and comprises at least one processor. The system periodically monitors a dataset derived from data that is de-identified according to a data de-identification ruleset under a set of conditions. The set of conditions for the data de-identification ruleset is evaluated with respect to the monitored data to determine applicability of the data de-identification. One or more rules of the data de-identification ruleset are dynamically changed in response to the evaluation indicating one or more conditions of the set of conditions for the data de-identification ruleset are no longer satisfied. Embodiments of the present invention may further include a method and computer program product for dynamically changing a data de-identification ruleset applied to a dataset for de-identifying data in substantially the same manner described above.

Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable fault detection. More specifically, implementation code of one or more functions is identified from source code. The implementation code of the one or more functions is converted to corresponding Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs). The implementation code of the one or more functions is represented as a first plurality of sets of AST paths over the ASTs. Classification results for the one or more functions are generated with a classifier based on the first plurality of sets of AST paths for the implementation code of the one or more functions. Each of the classification results indicates a probability of having at least one fault in a corresponding function of the one or more functions. Fault detection results of the source code are generated based on the classification results.

Abstract: A communication device includes a parameter setter and a communication controller for cyclic communication to transmit data including a first data piece and a second data piece different from the first data piece and having lower priority for real-time transmission than the first data piece to slave stations. The parameter setter presets a number of divisions n to divide the second data piece before the cyclic communication is started. The communication controller transmits the first data piece to a first slave station in one cycle, divides the second data piece by the number of divisions n, and transmits the divided second data piece to a second slave station in n cycles, where n is the number of divisions. The communication controller transmits, before transmitting the second data piece, data indicating the number of divisions n set by the parameter setter to the second slave station.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a graphics processor comprising a hardware graphics rendering pipeline configured to perform multisample anti-aliasing, the hardware graphics rendering pipeline including pixel processing logic to determine that each sample location of a pixel of a multisample surface is associated with a clear value and resolve a color value for the pixel to a non-multisample surface via a write of metadata to indicate that the pixel has the clear value. The resolve can be a stenciled resolve that automatically bypasses execution of a pixel shader for pixels having clear color data.
Abstract: The present disclosure discloses methods and systems for identifying blank spaces in a document for embedding an Infrared (IR) mark in the document. The method includes receiving the document for printing from the user. A user interface is provided to the user that allows the user to select a pre-defined option. Upon selection of the pre-defined option, inputs from the user on the IR mark is received. Based on the inputs from the user, a specified portion of the document is extracted for processing. Then, blank spaces are checked in the extracted portion based on a size of the IR mark to be embedded in the document. Based on the check, the IR mark is embedded in the identified blank space. An output document is outputted/printed including the IR mark in the specified portion of the document. The IR mark is embedded such that there is no content loss.
