Abstract: Methods and systems cause display of email messages of a user on a screen of a computing system based on scores associated with the email messages. An email ranking system may have assigned the scores to the email messages. The scores are based on actions that other recipients of the email messages have taken with respect to the email messages. In calculating the scores, the actions of the other recipients may receive different weights based on how closely connected a recipient is to the user and a type of connection the recipient has to the user. A network graph may indicate how closely connected the recipient is to the user and the type of connection the recipient has to the user.

Abstract: Neural processing elements are configured with a hardware AND gate configured to perform a logical AND operation between a sign extend signal and a most significant bit (“MSB”) of an operand. The state of the sign extend signal can be based upon a type of a layer of a deep neural network (“DNN”) that generate the operand. If the sign extend signal is logical FALSE, no sign extension is performed. If the sign extend signal is logical TRUE, a concatenator concatenates the output of the hardware AND gate and the operand, thereby extending the operand from an N-bit unsigned binary value to an N+1 bit signed binary value. The neural processing element can also include another hardware AND gate and another concatenator for processing another operand similarly. The outputs of the concatenators for both operands are provided to a hardware binary multiplier.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to distributed virtual reality. In examples, a depth buffer and a color buffer are generated at a presenter device as part of rendering a virtual environment. The virtual environment may be perceived by a user in three dimensions (3D), for example via a virtual reality (VR) headset.

Abstract: The handling of external calls from one or more services to one or more subservices is described. Upon detecting that a service has made an external call to a subservice and prior to allowing the external call to be sent to the subservice, a system evaluates the external call against one or more pre-call thresholds to determine whether or not the one or more pre-call thresholds are met.

This failing might include communicating to the service that placed the external call that the external call has failed. Otherwise, the system sends the external call to the subservice. By applying these thresholds, the service is kept from using too many resources.

Abstract: The processing of an incoming query targeted to a data store in a way that early detection of code injections can be achieved. Initial code injections, even if unsuccessful, can be used to adjust the code injections to more successfully perform harmful actions against the data store. Accordingly, early detection can be used to block attackers from experimenting against the data store. The early detection is accomplished by detecting when all or a portion of the query is structured in accordance with a query language, but does not follow the syntax recognized by the underlying data store. This is a good indication that the issuer of the query is performing a blind code injection, not knowing the type of the underlying data store.
