Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for utilizing deep learning to intelligently determine compression settings for compressing a digital image. For instance, the disclosed system utilizes a neural network to generate predicted perceptual quality values for compression settings on a compression quality scale. The disclosed system fits the predicted compression distortions to a perceptual distortion characteristic curve for interpolating predicted perceptual quality values across the compression settings on the compression quality scale. Additionally, the disclosed system then performs a search over the predicted perceptual quality values for the compression settings along the compression quality scale to select a compression setting based on a perceptual quality threshold. The disclosed system generates a compressed digital image according to compression parameters for the selected compression setting.

Abstract: A system to store specimen containers in a temperature controlled environment includes at least a first temperature sensor positioned to sense a temperature in a first region of the temperature controlled environment in an interior of the cryogenic storage tank and at least a first level sensor positioned to sense a level of a cryogenic medium within the temperature controlled environment in the interior of the cryogenic storage tank. A method of storing specimen containers in a temperature controlled environment includes monitoring one or more parameters within the temperature controlled environment to prevent exposure of biological samples within the specimen containers to parameters that put the viability of the biological samples at risk.

Abstract: A notification of a problem associated with an application may be received.

A person associated with the change may be determined. A task of resolving the problem may be assigned to the person associated with the change. A person may be notified of the problem and of the assigning of the task based on the identified change. A modification may be performed to resolve the problem associated with the change based on the determining of the difference.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for utilizing intelligent sectioning and selective document reflow for section-based printing. For example, the disclosed systems can intelligently identify document objects (e.g., document structures and sections) within a digital document by utilizing a machine-learning model. In so doing, the disclosed systems can identify document-object types and document-object locations for the document objects in the digital document. In turn, the disclosed systems can provide, for display within a dynamic printing interface, selectable document sections comprising the identified document objects. In response to a user selection of one or more of the selectable document sections, the disclosed system can generate a modified digital document for printing by reflowing the identified document objects in accordance with the user selection.

Abstract: Various techniques described herein relate to building and using representative data systems to store and manage representative profile data within contact centers. A representative data system integrates with external communication services and other internal/external systems to provide a uniform data store and interface to create and manage representative profiles. The representative data system retrieves and analyzes representative profile data during runtime contact center operations such as contact queuing, contact management, and/or workforce management. The representative data system may be implemented using relational or graph-based data structures to support advanced predictive modeling and impact analysis of scenarios such as service outages, dynamic workload shifting, infrastructure changes, and workforce changes.

Abstract: Transaction requests may be ordered in a distributed database according to an independently assigned sequence. Different distributed system nodes, such as a transaction coordinator and a storage node may independently assign sequence numbers to requests to access a distributed database. A storage node may receive the request from a transaction coordinator with an assigned sequence number and another request to which the storage node may assign a sequence number. The storage node can then order performance of the requests based on the sequence numbers.

Abstract: Offline building of a projected data subset may be performed. A request to create a data set that is a projected subset of data from a source data set may be received. A data store separate from the data store storing the source data set may store a copy of the source data set that is used to replicate items to the projected subset of data according to a schema for the projected data subset. Updates made to the source data set may also be replicated to the projected data subset according to the schema. Conflicts between replicated items and replicated updates to the projected data set may be resolved by comparing a version identifier for the replicated update and replicated item to determine what to store in the projected data subset.

Abstract: The claimed system and method allows for an electronic payment system to accept a single card that is both a debit card and a credit card. Further, a user may indicate a default value for the card regarding whether the card should be used as a debit card or a credit card.

Abstract: A method for secure storage and distribution of account tokens includes: storing blockchain data comprised of a plurality of blocks, each block including at least a block header and one or more data values, where each data value includes at least an identification value, an account token, and one or more usage rules; receiving a login request including at least a specific identification value and a set of credentials; identifying a specific data value included in the blockchain data where the included identification value corresponds to the received specific identification value; validating the set of credentials based on the identified specific data value and access to the account token included in the specific data value based on the included one or more usage rules; and transmitting the account token included in the identified specific data value in response to the login request upon successful validation.

Abstract: A biological specimen of a subject is handled and tracked for a procedure involving that specimen. Prior to initiation of the procedure, a first procedure data structure (PDS) is generated. The first PDS binds an identifier corresponding to the subject with an indicator of a procedure to be performed on the specimen and identifiers of a specimen container and a specimen holder that physically contacts the biological specimen, as well as a scheduled time for the procedure. A schedule of a plurality of PDSs including the first PDS, is displayed on a display device of a graphical user interface. Following initiation of the procedure, the first PDS is updated based on user input, and after the procedure, at least a portion of the first PDS, as updated, is stored in a database in conjunction with other PDSs respectively associated with other completed procedures.

The method, apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable medium may provide for segmenting an input image into a plurality of regions, assigning a weight to each region, identifying one or more colors for each of the regions, selecting a color palette based on the one or more colors for each of the regions and the corresponding weight for each of the regions, and performing a color reduction on the input image using the selected color palette to produce a color reduced image. The weight assigned to each region may depend on factors including relevance, prominence, focus, position, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: A device receives a notification indicating a failure of a first server device responsible for a primary message queue that includes messages at a time of the failure. A second server device is responsible for a standby message queue to which the messages are replicated, where a position in the standby message queue and a message time are assigned to each of the replicated messages. The device obtains a record time that identifies the message time of one of the messages that was last obtained from the primary message queue prior to the failure, compares an adjusted record time and the message time of one or more of the messages of the standby message queue to determine a starting position in the standby message queue, and processes messages obtained from the standby message queue beginning at one of the messages assigned to the position that matches the starting position.
