Abstract: Systems and methods are described to address shortcomings in conventional systems by correcting an erroneous term in on-screen caption text for a media asset. In some aspects, the systems and methods identify the erroneous term in a text segment of the on-screen caption text, and identify one or more video frames of the media asset corresponding to the text segment. The systems and methods further identify a contextual term related to the erroneous term from the one or more video frames. By accessing a knowledge graph, the systems and methods identify a candidate correction based on the contextual term and a portion of the text segment. Lastly, the systems and methods replaces the erroneous term with the candidate correction.

Abstract: A processor can control quantum hardware to transform qubit states associated with a plurality of pairs of data points in a training dataset using a circuit parameter representing a rotation angle. Inner products of transformed qubit states associated with the plurality of pairs of data points can be computed. The processor can minimize an objective function based on the inner products, where the minimizing finds a target circuit parameter representing a target rotation angle that minimizes the objective function. A processor can build a kernel matrix based on the inner products computed for a sample dataset and the target circuit parameter passed to the quantum hardware. A classification algorithm can use the kernel matrix to classify the sample dataset.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for supporting patching in a multi-tenant application server environment. The system can associate one or more partitions with a tenant, for use by that tenant, wherein a partition is a runtime and administrative subdivision or slice of a domain. A patching process can take advantage of high-availability features provided by an application server clustering environment, to apply patches in a controlled, rolling restart, which maintains a domain's ability to operate without interruption, or with zero downtime. The process can be used to automate complex or long running tasks, including preserving an unpatched or prior version of an application server, application, or other software component for possible rollback, or providing automatic reversion in the event of an unrecoverable error.

Abstract: A glitch filter system includes an input stage to receive an input signal, a first output to provide a first digital signal, and a second output to provide a second digital signal. A C-element of such system receives the first digital signal and the second digital signal and provides a third digital signal at a first logic state in response to each of the first and second digital signals having a second logic state opposite the first logic state. An output latch of such system provides an output signal at the second logic state in response to the first logic state of the third digital. The output latch also receives the first and second digital signals to maintain the first logic state of the third digital signal in response to one of the first and second digital signals changing from the second logic state to the first logic state.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for supporting multi-tenancy in an application server, cloud, on-premise, or other environment, which enables categories of components and configurations to be associated with particular application instances or partitions. Resource group templates define, at a domain level, collections of deployable resources that can be referenced from resource groups. Each resource group is a named, fully-qualified collection of deployable resources that can reference a resource group template. A partition provides an administrative and runtime subdivision of the domain, and contains one or more resource groups. Each resource group can reference a resource group template, to bind deployable resources to partition-specific values, for use by the referencing partition. A tenant of the application server or cloud environment can be associated with a partition, or applications deployed therein, for use by that tenant.

Abstract: A priority queue sorting system including a priority queue and a message storage. The priority queue includes multiple priority blocks that are cascaded in order from a lowest priority block to a highest priority block. Each priority block includes a register block storing an address and an identifier, compare circuitry that compares a new identifier with the stored identifier for determining relative priority, and select circuitry that determines whether to keep or shift and replace the stored address and identifier within the priority queue based on the relative priority. The message storage stores message payloads, each pointed to by a corresponding stored address of a corresponding priority block. Each priority block contains its own compare and select circuitry and determines a keep, shift, or store operation. Thus, sorting is independent of the length of the priority queue thereby achieving deterministic sorting latency that is independent of the queue length.
