Patent number: 11100390Abstract: A deep neural network (DNN) processor is configured to execute layer descriptors in layer descriptor lists. The descriptors define instructions for performing a forward pass of a DNN by the DNN processor. The layer descriptors can also be utilized to manage the flow of descriptors through the DNN module. For example, layer descriptors can define dependencies upon other descriptors. Descriptors defining a dependency will not execute until the descriptors upon which they are dependent have completed. Layer descriptors can also define a “fence,” or barrier, function that can be used to prevent the processing of upstream layer descriptors until the processing of all downstream layer descriptors is complete. The fence bit guarantees that there are no other layer descriptors in the DNN processing pipeline before the layer descriptor that has the fence to be asserted is processed.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2018Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Chad Balling McBride, Amol Ashok Ambardekar, Kent D.

Patent number: 11102413Abstract: Implementations generally relate to locking a camera onto a sub-region to capture images of the sub-region with a moving camera. In some implementations, a method includes determining a first region in a scene detected by a camera while the camera is in a first physical position. The method further includes receiving user input to target a sub-region within the first capture region of the scene and capturing the first image of the sub-region while the camera is in the first physical position. The first image is displayed in a fixed orientation on a preview portion of a display screen. The camera is moved to a second physical position and a second capture region of the scene is detected. The method further includes capturing a second image is of the sub-region and displaying it in the fixed orientation on the preview portion of the display screen. The second image is effective to inform a user of whether capture of the sub-region is altered by camera movement.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2020Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Radford Juang, Chia-Kai Liang, Wei Hong, Senpo Hu, Shengyi Lin, Erik Gross

Patent number: 11102105Abstract: Methods and systems for service integrated domain name servers are described. A method for service integrated domain name server processing includes receiving, by a requesting device, a service fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and an anycast Internet Protocol (IP) address for service integrated domain name servers, where each service integrated domain name server includes the anycast IP address and a unicast IP address. The requesting device queries domain name servers on the service integrated domain name servers with the anycast IP address to resolve the service FQDN. The requesting device receives the unicast IP address from a closest service integrated domain name server. The requesting device saves the unicast IP address, sends to a service server on the closest service integrated domain name server, a service request on the unicast IP address and receives from the service server, results for the service request.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2019Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Charter Communications Operating, LLCInventors: Ajay G.

Patent number: 11100134Abstract: Representative embodiments disclose mechanisms for data and identity migration, such as from an on-premises environment to a cloud environment. The system comprises multiple data collectors, each tailored to collect data from a data source. In a representative example, data collectors for a source application, a source identity repository and a target identity repository are utilized. Once the data is collected, it is stored in a database and methods are used to identify correlations (i.e., matches) between the source application data, the source identity repository data and the target identity repository data. The correlations are memorialized and presented to a user for rationalization. The process is stateful so that prior decisions are remembered. Once the user is satisfied with the rationalization, the system exports files that are consumed by a migration process to perform the actual data migration.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2017Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jerry Kane Orman, Seth Scruggs, Balakrishnan Shanmugam, Shopen Patel, Joel Tipke, Ulric Tyson Dihle, Nicholas Claunch, Ralph Foster, Chrystal Danielle Comley, Daniel Ward, Peter Theeuwen, Jacob Orchard

Patent number: 11100243Abstract: Technologies are described for selective persistence of data utilized by software containers. A configuration policy is defined that includes data that specifies one or more data stores for which data is not to be persisted following accesses to a software container and one or more data stores for which data is to be persisted following accesses to the software container. When the software container is first accessed, the data stores identified in the configuration policy are attached to the software container. Upon a subsequent access to the container, such as at the conclusion of a user session or upon destruction of the container, the data in the attached data stores is persisted or deleted based upon the configuration policy. When the software container is once again accessed, the data store containing the persisted data can be re-attached to the software container.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2018Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Margarit Simeonov Chenchev, Benjamin M. Schultz, Giridhar Viswanathan, Balaji Balasubramanyan, Yanan Zhang, Frederick Justus Smith, Hari R. Pulapaka, David Weston

Patent number: 11102308Abstract: A software and/or data mobility platform. The mobility of software and data in an edge network is achieved by loading software and/or data on an edge node. The software and data are replicated or migrated to neighbor nodes and prepared for the device when the device switches nodes. As the device switched nodes, clean up or mobility operations are performed by replicating or migrating the software/data to new neighbor nodes and deleting or removing the software/data from nodes that are no longer considered to be neighbor nodes. The software is typically deployed to the mobility platform rather than directly to the nodes to allow developers to focus on their application rather than on the mobility of the application.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2020Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: EMC IP HOLDING COMPANY LLCInventors: Victor Fong, Kenneth Durazzo, Robert A.
