Abstract: The present disclosure relates to phase alignment, in particular to phase alignment circuitry (and parts thereof) for example for use in a multiplexer or other circuitry in which data is transmitted from one stage to another. Consideration is given to phase detection and phase rotation. Such circuitry may be implemented as integrated circuitry, for example on an IC chip.

Abstract: A method is provided for controlling processing of target program code on a host data processing apparatus to simulate processing of the target program code on a target data processing apparatus. In response to a target memory access instruction of the target program code specifying a target address within a simulated address space having a larger size than a host address space supported by a memory management unit of the host data processing apparatus, an address space resizing table is looked up to map the target address to a transformed address within said host address space, and information is generated for triggering a memory access based on translation of the transformed address by the memory management unit of the host data processing apparatus.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating training data for training a classifier to assign nodes of a taxonomy graph to items based on item descriptions. Each node has a label. For each item, the system identifies for that item one or more candidate paths within the taxonomy graph that are relevant to that item. The system identifies the candidate paths based on content of the item description of that item matching labels of nodes. A candidate path is a sequence of nodes starting a root node of the taxonomy graph. For each identified candidate path, the system labels the item description with the candidate path equivalently with leaf node or label of the leaf node. The labeled item descriptions compose the training data for training the classifier.

Abstract: A recommendation system uses artificial intelligence to identify, based on negative sentiment cues from users, item attributes, such as keywords, that users may find offensive or undesirable. The negative sentiment cues may be explicit (e.g., a user selects an option not to view a particular recommendation again), implicit (e.g., a user does not interact with recommendations relating to an attribute), or both. The system may use a computer model generated based on these identified attributes to filter or modify recommendations to a user or group of users. For instance, if a particular keyword is identified as highly offensive to a group of users, items associated with the keyword may be filtered from item recommendations presented to the group of users. If an attribute is identified as moderately offensive to a user, items associated with the attribute may be down-weighted in item recommendations presented to the user.

Abstract: Fusion-formable sodium-containing aluminosilicate and boroaluminosilicate glasses are described. The glasses are particularly useful for controlled release of sodium—useful in semiconductor applications, such as thin film photovoltaics where the sodium required to optimize cell efficiency is to be derived from the substrate glass.

Abstract: Optimizations are provided for late stage reprojection processing for a multi-layered scene. A scene is generated, which is based on a predicted pose of a portion of a computer system. A sub-region is identified within one of the layers and is isolated from the other regions in the scene. Thereafter, late stage reprojection processing is applied to that sub-region selectively/differently than other regions in the scene that do not undergo the same late state reprojection processing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a roller (10) which is to be mounted upon a conduit (12) to be deployed on the seabed. The roller facilitates lateral movement of the conduit. It is able to rotate relative to the conduit when mounted. The roller has an outer face (36) which contacts and rolls upon the seabed in use. The outer face is shaped to provide treads (38).

Abstract: Social network postings, including text, images or other media, may provide valuable information regarding a user of the social network with which the postings may be associated. With the authorization of the user, and upon authentication by the social network, an online marketplace may access the social network postings and extract data therefrom, and market one or more recommended items to the user based on the extracted data, which may include color pallets or texture pallets derived from photographs included in the postings.

Abstract: A device may provide a login process to authenticate users prior to admittance to a computing environment. The device may also enable users to adjust various the computing environment, e.g., the language selected for communicating with the user and the user interfaces to be presented to the user, and may store such adjustments in a secured user account. However, if the user account is inaccessible to the device during the login process, the device is unable to adapt the login process to apply the user's adjustments. Instead, the device may be configured to store users' adjustments (including language selection) outside of the user accounts, and to, upon identifying the user during the login process, present login interfaces specified in the user account. Additionally, users may select different login interfaces during login, and the device may retrieve these login interfaces for selection during future login processes for the same user.

Abstract: A method for forming features in transparent dielectric materials is described. The method includes laser micromachining of a transparent dielectric material. The transparent dielectric material is in contact with a liquid containing a fluorinated compound. Features formed by the method have low surface roughness and highly uniform linear dimensions.
