Abstract: A system and method for the analysis of log data is presented. The system uses SuperMinHash based locality sensitive hash signatures to describe the similarity between log lines. Signatures are created for incoming log lines and stored in signature indexes. Later similarity queries use those indexes to improve the query performance. The SuperMinHash algorithm uses a two staged approach to determine signature values, one stage uses a first random number to calculate the index of the signature value that is to update. The two staged approach improves the accuracy of the produced similarity estimation data for small sized signatures. The two staged approach may further be used to produce random numbers that are related, e.g. each created random number may be larger than its predecessors. This relation is used to optimize the algorithm by determining and terminating when further created random numbers have no influence on the created signature.

Abstract: A composite fracturing tree includes an operating valve and a master valve in fluid communication with the operating valve. The master valve includes an inlet portion in fluid communication with the operating valve, an outlet portion, and a gate portion. The gate portion is disposed between the inlet portion and the outlet portion. The gate portion is moveable between a flow position and an occluding position. In the flow position, the gate portion permits flow between the inlet portion and the outlet portion. In the occluding position, the gate portion prevents flow from the inlet portion to the outlet portion. The gate portion is actuated from the flow position to the occluding position with a closing force and from the occluding position to the flow position with an opening force. The master valve allows for the closing force to reduced compared to conventional fracturing valves.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for manipulating a communication acceptance screen, manipulating an interactive communication acceptance icon, and restricting access to accounts based on voice communication parameters. In particular, when a communication is detected from one device to another device, that communication may be risky. Thus, the risk is mitigated by giving a user information about the source of the communication to give a user a chance to reject the communication. In addition, in instances where the user accepts the communication, the system enables monitoring the communication and restricting any accounts that are disclosed within the communication.

Abstract: Innovations in adaptive encoding and decoding for units of a video sequence can improve coding efficiency when switching between color spaces during encoding and decoding. For example, some of the innovations relate to adjustment of quantization or scaling when an encoder switches color spaces between units within a video sequence during encoding. Other innovations relate to adjustment of inverse quantization or scaling when a decoder switches color spaces between units within a video sequence during decoding.
