Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for the non-disruptive servicing of components of a user mode process. In examples, a user mode process comprises multiple components, each encapsulating a distinct piece of functionality. A replacement component is loaded and initialized. The replacement component is validated to ensure that the required dependencies of the replacement component are satisfied by the other components of the user mode process. The component to be serviced and the components having dependencies on the component to be serviced are suspended to enable a snapshot of the runtime state of the component to be serviced to be captured. The runtime state is copied to the replacement component and the components having dependencies on the component to be serviced are updated to reference the replacement component. The replacement component is executed and the suspended components are resumed. The component to be serviced is unloaded.

Abstract: The invention discloses a lithium ferromanganese phosphate composite material and a preparation method thereof. The lithium ferromanganese phosphate composite material prepared comprises lithium ferromanganese phosphate material, additive carbon, and a hydrophobic material coating on the surface of the lithium ferromanganese phosphate.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided for automatically performing a task on a remote computer. During a registration stage, the system receives personal information of a human user, obtains an IP address and a device configuration for a computing device, and stores the personal information, IP address, and the device configuration in record in a database. The system receives a request to interact with a remote website to perform a task, the request including the personal information of the human user.

The system creates a virtual machine based on the device configuration for the computing device, selects one of a geographically distributed set of proxy servers having an IP geographically address resembling the IP address for the computing device, and executes instructions causing the virtual machine to interact with the remote website using the proxy server to perform the task.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for reusing and retraining an image recognition model for video analytics. The image recognition model is used for inferring a frame of video data that is captured at edge devices. The edge devices periodically or under predetermined conditions transmits a captured frame of video data to perform inferencing.

A model selector uses a gating network model to determine ranked candidate models for validation. The validation includes iterations of retraining the image recognition model and stopping the iteration when a rate of improving accuracy by retraining becomes smaller than the previous iteration step. Retraining a model includes generating reference data using a teacher model and retraining the model using the reference data. Integrating reuse and retraining of models enables improvement in accuracy and efficiency.
