Abstract: A low-E coating has good color stability (a low ?E* value) upon heat treatment (HT). Thermal stability may be improved by the provision of an as-deposited crystalline or substantially crystalline layer of or including zinc oxide, doped with at least one dopant (e.g., Sn), immediately under an infrared (IR) reflecting layer of or including silver; and/or by the provision of at least one dielectric layer of or including an oxide of zirconium. These have the effect of significantly improving the coating's thermal stability (i.e., lowering the ?E* value). An absorber film may be designed to adjust visible transmission and provide desirable coloration, while maintaining durability and/or thermal stability. The dielectric layer (e.g., of or including an oxide of Zr) may be sputter-deposited so as to have a monoclinic phase in order to improve thermal stability.

In one embodiment, predictive feedback is provided at a depth associated with one of the focal anchors.

Abstract: Embodiments of ensuring data integrity in computing devices and associated methods of operations are disclosed therein. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, at a memory controller, a data request from the persistent storage to copy data from the memory. In response to the received data request, the requested data is retrieved from the memory. The retrieved data contains data bits and corresponding error correcting bits. The method can also include determining, at the memory controller, whether the retrieved data bits contain one or more data integrity errors based on the error correcting bits associated with the data bits. In response to determining that the retrieved data bits contain one or more data integrity errors, the memory controller can write data representing existence of the one or more data integrity errors into a memory location accessible by the processor for ensuring data integrity.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that searches a graph database. During operation, the system obtains a log-based representation of a graph database storing a graph, wherein the graph comprises a set of nodes, a set of edges between pairs of nodes in the set of nodes, and a set of predicates. Next, the system obtains a first query containing a first search pattern for searching the log-based representation. The system then matches the first search pattern to one or more records in the log-based representation. Finally, the system outputs, as a first result of the first query, the one or more records in a subgraph of the graph.

Abstract: According to an example, pre-cognitive SIEM may include using trained classifiers to detect an anomaly in input events, and generating a predictive attack graph based on the detected anomaly in the input events. The predictive attack graph may provide an indication of different paths that can be taken from an asset that is related to the detected anomaly to compromise other selected assets in a network of the asset, and the other selected assets may be selected based on a ranking criterion and a complexity criterion. A rank list and a complexity list may be generated. The rank list, the complexity list, a depth of the predictive attack graph, and a weighted value may be used to generate a score that provides an indication of a number of assets that can be compromised and a difficulty of exploiting vulnerabilities related to services of the assets that can be compromised.

Abstract: An image and data application service provider system provides a way of remotely viewing and manipulating images and data for diagnostic and visualization purposes by users unconstrained by geography. Images and data are stored on one or more servers running application service provider software along with meta-data such as access control information, origin of information and references to related data. A set of data with related information is sent as an encrypted stream to a viewing station running client software in a secure execution environment that is logically independent of the viewing station's operating system.

Abstract: An image sensor pixel may include a photodiode, a floating diffusion, and a transfer gate. Column readout circuitry coupled to the image sensor pixel via a column line. The image sensor pixel may have a pixel output path that is capacitive coupled to the column line via a capacitor. An input terminal of the capacitor at the image sensor pixel may be coupled to a pre-charging transistor. The pre-charging transistor may connect the input terminal of the capacitor to a grounding voltage. During readout operations, the pre-charging transistor may be activated before a row select transistor is activated to read out reset or image level signals. By capacitively coupling the image sensor pixel to the column line, pixel signal readout operations such as signal readout speed may be improved while pixel power may be reduced.
