Abstract: A method of MVP (motion vector prediction) for video coding with adaptive motion vector resolution is disclosed. According to the present invention, the MVP coding is applied to the current MV or the current MV is stored depending on the current MV resolution, the reference MV resolution, or both the current MV resolution and the reference MV resolution. In one embodiment, when the current MV resolution corresponds to integer pixel resolution, MVP coding is then applied to the current MV using a modified temporal MV as a motion vector predictor for the current MV, where the modified temporal MV is generated by right-shifting the temporal MV. In another embodiment, when the current MV resolution corresponds to integer pixel resolution, the current MV is left-shifted before it is stored in a memory.

Abstract: An online system receives tracking requests from client devices interacting with a website to analyze user interactions with the website. The website provides instructions with web pages sent to a client device that cause the client device to send tracking instructions to the online system. The online system sends requests for web pages to the website, receives a plurality of web pages from the website, and determines a count of distinct web pages provided by the website. The online system determines a score for the website indicating a quality of tracking instructions of the website based on various factors, including an aggregate value based on the distinct webpages of the website that include tracking instructions and the count of distinct web pages provided by the website. Based on this score, the online system generates a report describing a quality of the tracking instructions of the website.

In some embodiments, there is provided a computer-implemented method, comprising: simulating, based on a first group of redundant arrays of independent disks, a rebuilding process for a second group of redundant arrays of independent disks; obtaining a first performance metric of the simulated rebuilding process; and identifying a factor associated with the rebuilding performance of the second group of redundant arrays of independent disks based on the first performance metric.

Abstract: The techniques described herein reduce a rate at which a mobile device consumes energy when receiving, processing and storing data events (e.g., emails, instant messages, social networking messages and notifications, etc.). In various embodiments, the techniques may be implemented in accordance with a connected standby mode of operation for the mobile device. Therefore, the techniques may decouple data reception from data processing when exchanging data events in the connected standby mode. In various embodiments, the techniques may store persistent memory operations for multiple data events in a temporary cache and process the stored persistent memory operations as a batch (e.g., perform the persistent memory operations together). In various embodiments, the techniques may partition data storage space allocated for data communications applications on the mobile device.

Abstract: Increased sensitivity of spectrometers through reducing noise in independent voltage signals via a differential voltage analyzer utilizing a reference wavelength from a wavelength region in which the optical absorption of the sample is negligible. In an embodiment, a grating permits selection of a reference wavelength. In another embodiment, filters permit selection of a reference wavelength. In yet another embodiment, both a grating and a filter permit selection of a reference wavelength. In an aspect, the differential voltage analyzer reduces noise by minimizing a differential voltage between the independent voltage signals and the reference voltage signal by adjusting the value of a cancellation coefficient.
