Abstract: Process dedicated in-memory translation lookaside buffers (TLBs) (mTLBs) for augmenting a memory management unit (MMU) TLB for translating virtual addresses (VAs) to physical addresses (PA) in a processor-based system is disclosed. In disclosed examples, a dedicated in-memory TLB is supported in system memory for each process so that one process's cached page table entries do not displace another process's cached page table entries. When a process is scheduled to execute in a central processing unit (CPU), the in-memory TLB address stored for such process can be used by page table walker circuit in the CPU MMU to access the dedicated in-memory TLB for executing the process to perform VA to PA translations in the event of a TLB miss to the MMU TLB. If a TLB miss occurs to the in-memory TLB, the page table walker circuit can walk the page table in the MMU.

Abstract: An asymmetric polyvinylidene chloride copolymer membrane is made by a method using a dope solution comprised of a polyvinylidene chloride copolymer and a solvent that solubilizes the polyvinylidene chloride copolymer that is shaped to form an initial shaped membrane. The initial shaped membrane is then quenched in a liquid comprised of a solvent that is miscible with the solvent that solubilizes the polyvinylidene chloride copolymer but is immiscible with the polyvinylidene chloride copolymer to form a wet asymmetric polyvinylidene chloride copolymer membrane. The solvents are removed from the wet membrane to form the asymmetric polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) copolymer membrane. The membrane then may be further heated to form a carbon asymmetric membrane in which the porous support structure and separation layer of the PVDC membrane is maintained.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for analyzing phase noise in a signal. A plurality of signal samples, each signal sample representing a value of phase noise in a signal-under-test at a corresponding offset frequency, and filter data representing filter characteristics on a first side of a spectrum boundary, are used to derive filtered signal samples. A measure of noise is derived from the filtered signal samples. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.

One example provides a system for generating recommended queries related to a search query, the system including a logic subsystem, and memory holding instructions executable by the logic subsystem to receive the search query, execute the search query on an index of pre-computed query clusters to identify a baseline query cluster and one or more neighboring query clusters, form a data structure including queries from within the baseline query cluster and the one or more neighboring query clusters, traverse the data structure to form a hierarchical arrangement of queries, and send the hierarchical arrangement of queries to a computing device from which the search query was received.

Abstract: Some implementations provide input-triggered user verification. This may involve trigging a user verification (e.g., capture of an image, sound, fingerprint, etc.) to verify a user's identity based on input (e.g., typing) received ad the device. Triggering the user-verification based on receiving input may help ensure that the image, sound, fingerprint, etc. is captured at a time when the user is close to the device, touching the finger-print sensor, and/or in view of the camera during the capturing. Some implementations provide user verification based on a user-identification of a previously selected image. This may involve using an inmate-selected picture or other image to recover a forgotten alphanumeric reference. Some implementations of the invention disclosed herein provide user verification based on a computer-vision identification of a wearable identification tag. This may involve using an image of the user's identification tag worn on the user's wrist to verify the user's identity.

Abstract: A footwear assembly has releasably attachable sock and oversock arranged to cover the user's toes and heels. A user puts the sock on a first foot, puts the sock-covered toes into a water-resistant oversock's toe cap, stretches the oversock sole along its length by pressing a second foot down on a protrusion extending outward from the heel of the oversock sole, and releases the stretched sole to bring the oversock heel toward the sock-covered heel. An attachment fastener has a single sock attachment site, located on the rear of the sock at a heel rear portion, and a single oversock attachment site, located on a rear section of the oversock. The sock releasably attaches to the oversock at only the single sock attachment site; and the oversock releasably attaches to the sock at only the single oversock attachment site.

The electronic device includes an accelerometer onboard to pick up voice in noisy conditions, and utilizes the accelerometer to confirm that a particular user intended to activate the hot word detection, thereby reducing false detection of other people's voices.

Abstract: A method and method to detect vegetation growth into a wireless signal path. Signal strength indicators for a signal that is transmitted from a transmitter at a second location are received from a receiver at a first location. The signal strength indicators are determined to be consistent with a progression of a decrease in received signal strength corresponding to a growth of vegetation growing into a wireless signal path between the first location and the second location. A recent signal strength indicator is determined to be below a threshold from a baseline received signal strength, and a notification of likely vegetation encroachment into the wireless signal path is provided based on the recent signal strength indicator being below the threshold and determining that the signal strength indicators are consistent with a progression of a decrease in signal strength corresponding to a growth of vegetation.

Abstract: A first storage system is configured to participate in a replication process with a second storage system using an active-active configuration. A request for a time-to-live (TTL) grant is received in the first storage system from the second storage system. A TTL projection time maintained in the first storage system is updated as a function of a current value of the TTL projection time, a local time in the first storage system and a TTL grant value. The TTL grant with the TTL grant value is sent from the first storage system to the second storage system in response to the request. The TTL projection time maintained in the first storage system is utilized in conjunction with revocation of the TTL grant to the second storage system. The TTL projection time illustratively specifies a time after which it is guaranteed that the TTL grant sent by the first storage system to the second storage system will have expired in accordance with a TTL expiration time maintained in the second storage system.
