Abstract: Disclosed herein are hydrocarbon based compositions derived from pyrolysis of a feedstock comprising post-consumer and/or post-industrial plastics and methods of making and use thereof.
Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable intelligent dynamic caching of data by accessing an activity history of historical electronic activity data entries associated with a user account, and utilizing a trained entity relevancy machine learning model to predict a degree of relevance of each entity associated with the historical electronic activity data entries in the activity history based at least in part on model parameters and activity attributes of each electronic activity data entry. A set of relevant entities are determined based at least in part on the degree of relevance of each entity. Pre-cached entities are identified based on pre-cached entity data records cached on the user device, and un-cached relevant entities from the set of relevant entities are identified based on the pre-cached entities. The cache on the user device is updated to cache the un-cached entity data records associated with the un-cached relevant entities.

Abstract: Indices of storage systems are managed. An example method includes: receiving a flush cycle for flushing expired events in a storage system including multiple events in a data stream, determining, based on the flush cycle, a time slice for managing the index of the storage system, creating a slice index node for the time slice in response to determining that the occurrence time of a first event that enters the storage system in the data stream is within the time slice, wherein the slice index node includes an index node of the first event, and adding the slice index node to the index. A corresponding device and a corresponding computer program product are provided. Thus, the index of a large number of events entering the storage system is managed according to the occurrence time of the events, and the storage system can be searched and updated accurately and effectively.

Abstract: A digital file forensic accounting and management system collects forensic data for a digital file that is stored and accounted for in a datastore. The digital files and the associated forensic data may be retrieved from the datastore by a third party to verify the authenticity of the digital file. An interface program is utilized to collect forensic data about a file upon creation of the file and/or when the file is transferred to the datastore. An interface program may be a framework that is operated on a file producing program that a file provider used to create a digital file. An interface program may be an origination driver that is operated on the file providing computer. An interface program may be a directory monitoring program that transfers the digital file and forensic data to the datastore upon saving the file to the monitored directory.
Abstract: A wireless communication network delivers status information for User Equipment (UE) upon request. A network controller exchanges registration signaling with the UE and exchanges authentication signaling for the UE with a Unified Data Management (UDM). The UDM exchanges the authentication signaling with the network controller and responsively transfers a UDM request for the UE status information to the network controller. The network controller determines the UE status information and transfers the UE status information to the UDM in response to the UDM request. The UDM receive the UE status information from the network controller and transfers the UE status information to a Unified Data Repository (UDR). The UDR receives the UE status information from the UDM and receives a status request for the UE from a network element. The UDR responsively transfers the UE status information for the UE to the network element.

Abstract: An apparatus, method, system and computer-readable medium are disclosed for, in one aspect, determining when a trigger, such as an application trigger, should be generated. In some embodiments, the application trigger may be generated when a frame included in a feed (e.g., a content feed) matches a specified or indicated frame. In some embodiments, a comparison between the feed and the specified or indicated frame may be based on one or more tolerances or thresholds. In some embodiments, the feed may be split and content (e.g., video) obtained via the split may be combined (e.g., multiplexed) with a trigger. The combined content and trigger may be transmitted to one or more devices, such as one or more user devices.
Abstract: The amount of energy to provide optical breakdown can be determined based on mapped optical breakdown thresholds of the treatment volume, and the laser energy can be adjusted in response to the mapped breakdown thresholds. The mapping of threshold energies can be combined with depth and lateral calibration in order to determine the location of optical breakdown along the laser beam path for an amount of energy determined based on the mapping. The mapping can be used with look up tables to determine mapped locations from one reference system to another reference system.

Abstract: The usual coding order according to which the reference view is coded prior to the dependent view, and within each view, a depth map is coded subsequent to the respective picture, may be maintained and does lead to a sacrifice of efficiency in performing inter-view redundancy removal by, for example, predicting motion data of the current picture of the dependent view from motion data of the current picture of the reference view. Rather, a depth map estimate of the current picture of the dependent view is obtained by warping the depth map of the current picture of the reference view into the dependent view, thereby enabling various methods of inter-view redundancy reduction more efficiently by bridging the gap between the views.
