Abstract: A planter system includes seed sensors for determining seed placement in a furrow to then target at least one of fluid and solid application with respect to the seed. Plant sensors determine locations of plants within a field and then target at least one of fluid and solid application with respect to the plant.

Abstract: A wireless device receives configuration parameters of a beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure. The configuration parameters indicate: a first time value of a BFR time window; and a second time value of a response window. Beam failure instances are detected. A preamble associated with a reference signal is transmitted. During the response window after the transmission of the preamble, a downlink control channel is monitored for a response to the preamble. The wireless device stops monitoring the downlink control channel in response to not receiving the response during the BFR time window after the detecting the beam failure instances.

Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for automating the detection and identification of anomalous devices in a management service. Device check-ins are received by a management service and housed in a data store. The quantity of device check-ins over various time periods can be analyzed using various approaches to identify anomalous devices.

Abstract: Networks comprising multiple non-overlapping communication topologies are presented. The networks can include a fabric of interconnected network nodes capable of providing multiple communication paths among edge devices. A topology manager constructs communication topologies according to restriction criteria based on required security levels (e.g., top secret, secret, unclassified, etc.). Established topologies do not have overlapping networking infrastructure to within the bounds of the restriction criteria as allowed by the security levels.

Abstract: A computing system receives a video bitstream that includes a current block and a syntax element indicating that the current block is to be predicted in a blending mode. The current block is encoded using information from first and second reference blocks. When a portion of the current block corresponds to a first area that (i) is within corresponding reference boundaries in both of the first and second reference blocks or (ii) is not within the corresponding reference boundaries in both of the first and second reference blocks, the system reconstructs the portion by averaging reference values from the first and second reference blocks. When the portion of the current block corresponds to a second area that is within the corresponding reference boundaries in only one of the first and second reference blocks, the system derives weighted reference values and reconstructs the portion by combining the weighted reference values.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are representative embodiments of generating representative motion information that can be used during processing of a video frame. In one exemplary embodiment disclosed herein, a reference frame comprising a group of blocks is processed, and motion information for the group of blocks is compressed at least by buffering representative motion-vector information and representative reference-frame index information for the group of blocks. The representative reference-frame index information comprises reference-frame index information of a representative block of the group of blocks, and the representative reference-frame index information represents reference-frame index information for the group of blocks during processing of a current frame.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates generally to display technology, including but not limited to methods and systems for providing knowledge-based media content recommendations, displaying a unified user interface with content-based media recommendations, mixing multiple media content items to be displayed on a focus area, and/or casting controlled media content associated with a network-connected television device. More particularly, the disclosed subject matter relates to displaying a unified user interface having tabbed interfaces in which upcoming media content items from multiple content providers can be displayed in one of the tabbed interfaces.

Abstract: The systems and methods use a gradient boosted decision tree, which may be trained in data sparse environments. The system also uses a data transformation step to collapse complex data into a standardized feature input (e.g., a fixed length feature input) that may be processed by the model with a constant (or near-constant) lookup time and with minimal latency. Finally, the system generates a dual variable output that provides both a metric of whether a communication is fraudulent and/or unauthorized as well as a confidence level of that determination.

Abstract: A removable lens stack includes a base layer and one or more removable lens layers. The base layer may include a substrate and moth eye coatings on first and second sides of the substrate. A first removable lens layer may include a substrate and an acrylic or fluoropolymer coating on a first side of the substrate and may be stacked on top of the base layer such that the second side of the substrate faces the first side of the substrate of the base layer. A second removable lens layer may include a substrate and an acrylic or fluoropolymer coating on a first side of the substrate and may be stacked on top of the first removable lens layer such that the second side of the substrate faces the first side of the substrate of the first removable lens layer. The acrylic or fluoropolymer coating may comprise a hard coat.

Abstract: A refrigeration system includes a high-pressure side with a gas cooler configured, while the refrigeration system is powered by a main power supply and is operating to provide refrigeration, to cool refrigerant on the high-pressure side. The refrigeration system includes a low-pressure side with one or more evaporators. The refrigeration system includes an auxiliary compressor coupled to a backup power supply. An input of the auxiliary compressor is coupled to fluid conduit of the low-pressure side, and an output of the auxiliary compressor is coupled to fluid conduit of the high-pressure side. A controller is communicatively coupled to the auxiliary compressor. After determining that the main power supply is unavailable, the controller causes the auxiliary compressor to turn on to move refrigerant from the low-pressure side to the high-pressure side.

Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to a method for performing data backup operations. The method may include receiving a request to perform a backup operation to back up data associated with a cluster in a virtualization environment; executing, in response to the request, a data mover selection algorithm to select a data mover to perform the backup operation; transmitting an instruction to the selected data mover to perform the backup operation; and performing the backup operation using the selected data mover to back up the data.

Abstract: A secure inference over Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) using secure two-party computation to perform privacy-preserving machine learning. The secure inference uses a particular type of comparison that can be used as a building block for various layers in the DNN including, for example, ReLU activations and divisions. The comparison securely computes a Boolean share of a bit representing whether input value x is less than input value y, where x is held by a user of the DNN, and where y is held by a provider of the DNN. Each party computing system parses their input into leaf strings of multiple bits. This is much more efficient than if the leaf strings were individual bits. Accordingly, the secure inference described herein is more readily adapted for using in complex DNNs.
