Abstract: Mechanisms, in a system comprising a host system and at least one accelerator device, for performing a concept analysis operation are provided. The host system extracts a set of one or more concepts from an information source and provides the set of one or more concepts to the accelerator device. The host system also provides at least one matrix representation data structure representing a graph of concepts and relationships between concepts in a corpus. The accelerator device executes the concept analysis operation internal to the accelerator device to generate an output vector identifying concepts in the corpus, identified in the at least one matrix representation data structure, related to the set of one or more concepts extracted from the information source. The accelerator device outputs the output vector to the host system which utilizes the output vector to respond to a request submitted to the host system associated with the information source.

Abstract: Provided are a hybrid automatic repeat request timing method and apparatus. The method comprises: in the case where a device detects physical shared channel transmission within a first target transmission time interval (TTI), the device transmitting an acknowledgement instruction (ACK) response or a negative acknowledgement instruction (NACK) response of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) of a corresponding physical shared channel within the (pre-set number)th TTI after a second target TTI, wherein the number of symbols L1 contained in a TTI for downlink data transmission and the number of symbols L2 contained in a TTI for uplink data transmission satisfy the following condition: LI?{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}, I=1 or 2. According to the embodiments of the present invention, the problem in the relevant art that an HARQ timing relationship cannot satisfy the further shortening of a TTI length is solved.

Abstract: The present disclosure teaches a method of utilizing image “match points” to measure and detect changes in a physical object. In some cases “degradation” or “wear and tear” of the physical object is assessed, while in other applications this disclosure is applicable to measuring intentional changes, such as changes made by additive or subtractive manufacturing processes, which may, for example, involve adding a layer or removing a layer by machining. A system may include a scanner, and a digital fingerprinting process, coupled to an object change computer server. The server is coupled to a datastore that stores class digital fingerprints, selected object digital fingerprints collected over time, match measurements, and deterioration metrics.
