Abstract: A multi-tenant, elastically scalable cache as a service is disclosed. Embodiments of the cache service eliminate the need for applications to manage their own cache tier. The multi-tenant cache service is implemented by maintaining/creating multiple named caches in a cache cluster and mapping each tenant's cache to a named cache in the cluster. Strict quotas are enforced on cache sizes This allows caches with different replication attributes to co-exist on the same cache server, allows migration of a cache from one cluster to another for load balancing purposes, and allows a cache to inflate/deflate to meet business needs. A network load balancer is used to route cache items to servers.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein manage the playback speed of video data based on processing objects in the video data. In one example, a video processing service obtains video data from a video source and identifies objects of interest in the video data. The video processing service further determines complexity in frames of the video data related to the objects of interest and updates playback speeds for segments of the video data based on the complexity of the frames.

Abstract: A method including capturing a series of image frames of a hand. The method includes generating a map of hand landmarks for each in the series of image frames. The method includes determining whether the maps of hand landmarks include at least: (i) a first map that matches a first reference map of hand landmarks representing a hand in substantially a start position of a snap motion and (ii) a subsequent, second map that matches a second reference map of hand landmarks representing a hand in a progressed (e.g., intermediate or end) position of a snap motion. The method includes determining that a finger-snap gesture is detected in response to determining that the first map and second map were generated from image frames captured within a snap time limit; and executing an action corresponding to a determination that a finger-snap gesture is detected in the series of image frames.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the semiconductor process apparatus comprises a conductive support comprising mesh, a conductive shaft comprising a conductive rod, and a plurality of connection elements. The plurality of connection elements are coupled to the mesh in parallel and are connected to the rod at a single junction. The plurality of connection elements help spread RF current, reducing localized heating in the substrate, resulting in a more uniform film deposition. Additionally, using connection elements that are merged and coupled to a single RF rod allow for the rod to be made of materials that can conduct RF current at lower temperatures.

The set of music content items can be ranked based at least in part on the video embedding and the set of music embeddings.

Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure facilitates performance of node management actions in a computing infrastructure having diverse node interfaces. In one embodiment, a configuration data is maintained, the configuration data specifying plugins designed to communicate with different node interfaces installed on the nodes of a computing infrastructure. The plugins are corresponding implementations of a common client interface. Upon receiving from the client application, via the common client interface, a management action to be performed on a desired node, the configuration data is inspected to identify a specific plugin corresponding to the node interface installed on the desired node. The node management action is then performed on the desired node using the identified specific plugin. Accordingly, the client application can be implemented agnostic to the specific node interfaces installed on a node.

Abstract: A bi-directional direct current (DC) solid state power controller (SSPC) architecture and control method. The SSPC protects a DC distribution system by isolating both the positive and negative buses independently in case of short circuit or ground fault. The SSPC architecture includes two self-heal interleaved capacitors and includes a fast, soft-charging control technique that provides line-isolated charging of the DC bulk capacitor to avoid inrush current when powering up the DC distribution system. The soft-charging function alternately charges one of the two interleaved capacitors, while the other capacitor discharges to the DC bulk capacitor. Repetitive switching results in a charging and discharging process that increases the voltage of the DC bulk capacitor prior to powering up the DC distribution system, while keeping the DC power source isolated from the load.

Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems for facilitating task completion through inter-application communication and/or for registering a target application for contextually aware task execution are provided. That is, a current application may display content comprising an entity (e.g., a mapping application may display a restaurant entity). One or more actions capable of being performed on the entity may be exposed (e.g., a reserve table action). Responsive to selection of an action, one or more target applications capable of performing the action on the entity may be presented. Responsive to selection of a target application, contextual information for the entity and/or the action may be passed to the target application so that the target application may be launched in a contextually relevant state to facilitate completion of a task. For example, a dinning application may be launched to a table reservation form for the restaurant entity.
