Abstract: A processor element in a processor-based system is configured to fetch one or more instructions associated with a program binary, where the one or more instructions include an instruction having an immediate operand. The processor element is configured to determine if the immediate operand is a reference to a wide immediate operand. In response to determining that the immediate operand is a reference to a wide immediate operand, the processor element is configured to retrieve the wide immediate operand from a common intermediate lookup table (CILT) in the program binary, where the immediate operand indexes the wide immediate operand in the CILT. The processor element is then configured to process the instruction having the immediate operand such that the immediate operand is replaced with the wide immediate operand from the CILT.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions, including, without limitation, algorithms, computer readable media, computer programs, apparatus, and systems for determining the identity of nucleic acids in nucleotide sequences using, for example, data obtained from sequencing by synthesis methods. A plurality of smaller flow cells is employed, each with a relatively small area to be imaged, in order to provide greater flexibility and efficiency.

Abstract: A sensor apparatus may include a channel structure configured to couple with an external element and a fluid conduit, such that the channel structure may receive a fluid, at least partially drawn through the external element from an ambient environment, and direct the fluid through the fluid conduit. A sensor may generate sensor data indicating a flow rate of the fluid through the fluid conduit based on monitoring a variation in a pressure at a location in hydrodynamic contact with the fluid conduit and in relation to an ambient pressure of the ambient environment. The sensor apparatus may enable generation of improved topography information associated with flows of fluid drawn from the external element based on measuring a local pressure at the location in hydrodynamic contact with the fluid conduit and determining the ambient pressure based on monitoring the local pressure over time.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining a given web page, parsing the given web page to identify one or more frame tags for one or more inline frames of the given web page, and extracting a set of features of a given inline frame from a given one of the identified frame tags in the given web page, the extracted set of features comprising one or more style features, one or more destination features and one or more context features of the given identified frame tag. The method also includes classifying the given inline frame as one of a malicious frame type and a benign frame type utilizing at least one model and at least a portion of the extracted set of features, and controlling access by one or more client devices associated with an enterprise to the given web page responsive to classifying the given inline frame as the malicious frame type.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method sends a first instance of a media presentation description to a client for a first set of segments of a media presentation. The first instance of the media presentation description includes status information based on the first set of segments in the media presentation. A request is received for an update to the media presentation description where the request includes the status information. The method uses the status information to identify a latest segment that the client has already received in the media presentation. Then, the method sends a second instance of the media presentation description for a second set of segments that occur after the latest segment in the media presentation as an update to the first instance of the media presentation description. The second instance of the media presentation description excludes at least a portion of information for first set of segments.

At least one economic value is calculated for each of the one or more data assets based on the at least one economic driver category linked to each of the one or more data assets. Calculated economic values for the one or more data assets are stored in a valuation data structure.

Abstract: In particular embodiments, a data subject request processing system may be configured to utilize one or more local storage nodes in order to process a data subject access request on behalf of a data subject. In particular embodiments, the one or more local storage nodes may be local to the data subject making the request (e.g., in the same country as the data subject, in the same jurisdiction, in the same geographic area, etc.). The system may, for example, be configured to: (1) receive a data subject access request from a data subject (e.g., via a web form); (2) identify a suitable local storage node based at least in part on the request and/or the data subject; (3) route the data subject access request to the identified local storage node; and (4) process the data subject access request at the identified local storage node.
