Abstract: Systems and methods for document processing are discussed herein. In certain embodiments, novel document processor programs may allow for a knowledge worker to concentrate on the content of a document, rather than its formatting. Such programs may separately store layout and/or typesetting information from content, allowing for their combination after the content is created. Novel data structures and techniques are provided to permit the use of advanced version control, collaboration techniques and team/or workflows. User interfaces are also disclosed which dynamically adapt to a document type and/or a portion of a document being edited. Such features may significantly increase knowledge worker drafting efficiency.

The cloud node(s) also determine at least one self-configuration decision, based on an available hardware configuration, which indicates a number of processor cores needed to implement the C-RAN using the hardware configuration and/or a channel configuration for the C-RAN to use when exchanging RF signals with a plurality of UEs.

Abstract: A first image is obtained prior to a second image. Upon dividing the second image into a plurality of zones, light characteristic values for each of the plurality of zones are determined based on at least one of a brightness value, a contrast value, and an intensity value for the respective zones. A first difference score for one of the zones is determined based on a difference between corresponding light characteristic values for the one zone in the first and second images. Upon identifying an object in the one zone of the first and second images, a second difference score for the one zone is determined based on determining a difference between respective confidence scores associated with the corresponding identified objects. Upon determining at least one of the first or second difference score is greater than a respective threshold, the vehicle is operated based on the first image.

Abstract: A method includes forming an ion-implanted capping layer in a first epitaxial layer disposed on a silicon substrate. The ion-implanted capping layer is doped with a second dopant of a same conductivity type as a first dopant in the silicon substrate. The second dopant has a lower diffusivity than the diffusivity of the first dopant. The ion-implanted capping layer has a thickness configured to contain up-diffusion of the first dopant from the silicon wafer in the first epitaxial layer in thermal processes for fabricating a vertical MOSFET device in the substrate. The ion-implanted capping layer is configured to limit up-diffusion of the first dopant from the silicon wafer through the ion-implanted capping layer into a second epitaxial layer such that a concentration of the first dopant in the second epitaxial layer is lower than a concentration of the first dopant in the first epitaxial layer.

Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and computer-readable media may use broad-range spectrophotometric analysis and/or other sensors to generate data from bodily fluids accessed via a fluid drain. These data may be utilized to analyze therapeutic efficacy, to enable early detection of complications, and to guide the clinical management of patients being treated with a fluid drain. Advantageously, these systems, devices, methods, and computer-readable media enable clinical patient care decisions to be performed in a manner that is data-driven or quantitative in nature as opposed to qualitative—e.g., via well-defined, algorithmic-based processes and/or reliable methods. As a result, these systems, devices, methods, and computer-readable media enable improved clinical outcomes, more efficiently optimized medical care, and cost savings.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for allocating resources to contexts in block-based processor architectures. In one example of the disclosed technology, a processor is configured to spatially allocate resources between multiple contexts being executed by the processor, including caches, functional units, and register files. In a second example of the disclosed technology, a processor is configured to temporally allocate resources between multiple contexts, for example, on a clock cycle basis, including caches, register files, and branch predictors. Each context is guaranteed access to its allocated resources to avoid starvation from contexts competing for resources of the processor. A results buffer can be used for folding larger instruction blocks into portions that can be mapped to smaller-sized instruction windows. The results buffer stores operand results that can be passed to subsequent portions of an instruction block.
