Abstract: Superconducting circuits based devices and methods, including reciprocal quantum logic (RQL) based devices and methods are provided. In one example, a device comprising an output terminal, a first input terminal for receiving a first set of pulses, and a second input terminal for receiving a second set of pulses is provided. The first section may be configured to pass a single pulse received during a single clock cycle at any of the first input terminal or the second input terminal, but to not pass two or more positive pulses received during a single clock cycle at the first input terminal and the second input terminal. The second section, coupled to the first section, may be configured to, in response to the single pulse, generate a negative pulse after a predetermined fraction of a single clock cycle after providing a positive pulse at the output terminal.

Abstract: Aspects extend to methods, systems, and computer program products for remediating power loss at a server. Aspects of the invention increase the likelihood of gracefully shutting down a server and associated components in a data center when mains power is lost for a specified amount of time (e.g., an amount of time beyond transition to generator power). A server can include a management module (e.g., a BMC) and a watchdog module. When the management controller detects loss of power at a power supply unit, the management controller orchestrates a graceful shutdown of the server in response to power loss. When the management module is unresponsive, the watchdog module provides backup functionality for orchestrating a graceful shutdown in response to power loss. As such, data can be saved from RAM to more durable storage even when the management module is unresponsive.

Abstract: Data formatting rules to convert data from one form to another form are automatically determined based on a user's edits. A machine learning heuristic is applied to a user's edits to determine a data formatting rule that may be applied to data. For example, a user may make edits that add/remove characters from data, concatenate data, extract data, rename data, and the like. The machine learning heuristic may be automatically triggered in response to an event (e.g. after a predetermined number of edits are made to a same type of data) or manually triggered (e.g. selecting a user interface option). The data formatting rule may be applied to other data and the results of the formatting reviewable by the user. Based on further edits/reviews, the data formatting rule may be updated. The data formatting rules may be stored for later use.

Abstract: Rules, such as condition-action rules, are configured at different levels of a hierarchy. For example, a top level site administrator may configure rules, lower level administrators may configure rules and end users may configure rules. Rules created at a higher hierarchical level are automatically inherited by lower hierarchical levels in the same branch of the hierarchy. The source of the inherited rule is indicated with its display such that the hierarchical level of creation can readily be determined. The inherited rule(s) may be toggled on/off at the lower hierarchical levels but edits to inherited rule(s) are restricted. Instead, a copy of any inherited rule may be made to create a local copy of the rule that is editable. Rules may be ordered and when a lower hierarchical level inherits the rules, the ordering is preserved. The lower level may toggle on/off the execution of each rule within the ordering.

Abstract: Efficient sharing of documents via logical tagging is provided. A document tagging system allows a user to tag a document with a label that is associated with a virtual folder of documents in an online document system, and to provide one or more users with access to the virtual folder. Providing access to the virtual folder associated with the label provides access to the document and other documents tagged with the label. The document and other documents tagged with the label can be shared with other users without attaching documents to emails or creating duplicate copies of the documents. A user interface element is provided for allowing the user to enter or select one or more labels with which to tag a document. Various documents can be associated with a label regardless of the document type. Further, the documents may be stored across various repositories.

Abstract: Described is a system and method for updating a contact and adding a new contact from a call log in a communications device.

The method includes determining if a request is for updating an existing contact card or for adding a new contact card to the contact database. The update or addition is made with information retrieved from call logs. Call information is pre-populated into a predetermined data field of the contact card, when it is determined that the request is to add a new contact card to the contact database.

Abstract: A unified platform supports a plurality of game titles and diverse gaming devices to provide publishers and developers with a software development kit (SDK) including application programming interfaces (APIs) for creating multiplayer tournaments. Developers use the SDK to create tournament definitions and permission levels for tournament organizers. Tournament definitions specify configuration values as parameters the unified platform uses to create instances of multiplayer tournaments. Permission levels can define which tournament organizers are able to set up and manage tournaments and can define parameters to which they must adhere. The unified platform can store tournament definitions that are created by game publishers, game developers, or tournament organizers and can use the stored definitions to create tournament instances.

Abstract: Architecture that enables a Database-as-a-Service (DaaS) to auto-scale container sizes on behalf of tenants. An abstraction is provided that enables tenants to reason about monetary budget and query latency, rather than resource provisioning. An auto-scaling module automatically determines a container size for a subsequent billing interval based on telemetry that comprises latencies (e.g., waits), resource utilizations, and available budget, for example. A set of robust signals are derived from database engine telemetry and combined to significantly improve accuracy of resource demand estimation for database workloads. In a more specific implementation, resource demands can be estimated for arbitrary SQL (structured query language) workloads in a relational database management system (RDBMS).

Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to providing information regarding nearby locations that may be familiar to a user to help inform the user of a current location within an area. One disclosed example provides a computing device comprising a display, a logic subsystem, and a storage subsystem comprising instructions executable by the logic subsystem to form a list of familiar locations for a user based upon a user history regarding the familiar locations, determine that the user is within a threshold proximity to a nearby familiar location on the list of familiar locations, and in response, output directional information indicating a relative position of the nearby familiar location on the list of familiar locations.

Abstract: Embodiments apply user-specific usage patterns to estimate and preserve remaining battery life on a computing device. An amount of battery drain and an execution context are determined and stored for a plurality of recurring time periods. The execution context identifies operations executed by the computing device, signal strength, and other data describing the associated time period. If one of the operations is expected to be executed during a recurrence of at least one of the time periods, the expected execution is adjusted based on execution context and an estimated remaining battery life for the computing device. For example, the computing device may postpone or reschedule the operation for a time period during which the operation is expected to have a greater likelihood of completing successfully. In some embodiments, the battery preservation operations are automatically enabled at a particular threshold.

Abstract: A search of displayed content may be automatically performed in response to receipt of a search gesture that defines a scope of the search and initiates the search. The search gesture may define a region of content within the displayed content. A search query may be formulated based on the region of content defined by the search gesture. In response to completion of the search gesture, a search may be automatically initiated. In some examples, the search gesture comprises a generally circular gesture that substantially bounds the region of content.

Abstract: A user interacts with a predefined portion of a given data item in a set of structured data. All other items in the set of structured data, that have the same value as the given data item, in a corresponding portion, are selected and treated as a group.

Using the sensor fusion interface, entity state data is extracted from the shared library and exposed to the computerized device component.

Abstract: Data-manipulation-language statements can target data in data store of a data storage system. Data manipulations specified in a statement, including in-place manipulations, can be recorded and maintained. Application of data manipulations to the store can be avoided or potentially initiated at a later time. Prior to application of the data manipulations to the data store, queries over data in the data store can be processed in view of the recorded data manipulations and data acquired from the data store, such that the data manipulations are reflected in the data acquired from the data store.

Abstract: Near-to-eye devices with steerable phased arrays are provided. In some configurations, a device comprises waveguides, e.g., color plates, that are individually formed to couple a corresponding color output of a micro-display engine and project an image into a human vision system. Some configurations include steerable phased arrays for generating light defining a field of view of image content. The generated light is aligned with light from a real-world view to create an output that concurrently displays the real-world view with the field of view of the image content. The light from the steerable phased arrays is directed through one or more waveguides to an output region of the one or more waveguides. The light from the real-world view can pass through transparent portions of waveguides in a manner that aligns a rendering of the image content with the light from the real-world view to create augmented reality views.
