Abstract: Techniques for implementing and utilizing capacity cluster resource reservations are described. A managed compute service receives a user's request to identify a capacity block for use in launching compute instances. A schedule with pre-computed blocks, each corresponding to an amount of instances and an amount of time, is used to identify a block satisfying the request's criteria. The user can later obtain the capacity block and launch instances into the reservation during its time window, where placement rules associated with the reservation ensure the instances are hosted in locations enabling low-latency intercommunications.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present subject matter use health-related information to improve the monitoring and treatment provided to remotely managed patient populations by generating patient states to simplify the triaging of patient conditions. In an example, the system can receive from a user via a user interface, criteria related to one or more goals to accomplish while receiving therapy to treat a condition. The system can translate, by at least one hardware processor, the criteria related to the one or more goals to a state-based classification defining a plurality of patient states defined by a plurality of parameters and receive a first set of parameter values. The system can further identify a first patient state from among the plurality of patient states using the first set of parameter values and generate an output including the first patient state.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for extending functionality of memory controllers using a loopback mode for testing are disclosed herein. In one aspect, a processor-based device provides a memory access intercept circuit configured to receive a memory write request that is directed to and received by a memory controller. The memory access intercept circuit transmits proxy write data to the memory controller, and intercepts write data directed to the memory controller for the memory write request. The memory access intercept circuit stores the write data in a write data buffer, and, upon intercepting the proxy write data from the memory controller directed to a physical (PHY) interface circuit, retrieves the write data from the write data buffer and transmits the write data to the PHY interface circuit. The memory access intercept circuit subsequently receives, from the PHY interface circuit, loopback data, and stores the loopback data in a read data buffer.

Abstract: Technologies directed to respiration monitoring based on noise channel state information (CSI) data are described. A method includes receiving CSI data representing channel properties of a wireless channel used by a first wireless device and a second wireless device located in a geographical region. The method generates a set of CSI samples by sampling the CSI data and removes one or more outlier CSI samples using a sparse outlier process, and removes a cluster of outlier samples using a cluster outlier process. The method determines Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) data for each channel subcarrier index and a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) value for each channel subcarrier index, and identifies a first number of channel subcarrier indexes having highest SNR values to obtain a subset of FFT data, which represents a breathing spectrum. The method determines a respiratory rate of a user in the geographical region from the subset of the FFT data.
