Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for latent summarization of a graph. Structural features can be captured from feature vectors associated with each node of the graph by applying base functions on the feature vectors and iteratively applying relational operators to successive feature matrices to derive deeper inductive relational functions that capture higher-order structural information in different subgraphs of increasing size (node separations). Heterogeneity can be summarized by performing capturing features in appropriate subgraphs (e.g., node-centric neighborhoods associated with each node type, edge direction, and/or edge type). Binning and/or dimensionality reduction can be applied to the resulting feature matrices.

Abstract: An object management system (OMS) receives a plurality of objects to be stored. The OMS identifies a subset of objects associated with a same time period and a same namespace from the plurality of objects and generates a batch object comprising the subset of objects. The OMS issues a write request to store the batch object in an object storage system (OSS) and stores, for each object in the subset of objects, a data structure comprising an identifier of the batch object and a position of the object within the batch object. Upon receiving a read request for an object, the OMS determines, based on the data structure, whether the object is stored in the OSS and issues a read request to the OSS based on the identifier of the batch object and the position of the object within the batch, if the objects is stored in the OSS.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure generally relate to hardmask films and methods for depositing hardmask films. More particularly, implementations of the present disclosure generally relate to tungsten carbide hardmask films and processes for depositing tungsten carbide hardmask films. In one implementation, a method of forming a tungsten carbide film is provided. The method comprises forming a tungsten carbide initiation layer on a silicon-containing surface of a substrate at a first deposition rate. The method further comprises forming a tungsten carbide film on the tungsten carbide initiation layer at a second deposition rate, wherein the second deposition rate is greater than the first deposition rate.

Abstract: Provided is a MEMS condenser microphone, including a base plate, a spacer and a membrane. The membrane is supported above the base plate by the spacer. The base plate, the spacer, and the membrane enclose a vacuum cavity. An end of the membrane close to the vacuum cavity is connected, by means of a connecting rod, to an electrostatic clutch. The electrostatic clutch is connected to a capacitive sensing structure. The microphone has the advantage of allowing microphone performance over a wide range of atmospheric pressures which is likely expected by customers. This is achieved electrostatically in a purely passive way which has an advantage over other designs which require complex electronics and active control. Physically decoupling the membrane and sense structure simplifies the design of the sense structure as only small AC perturbations of the rotor need to be considered with no DC changes in rotor position.

Abstract: In some implementations, a first processing component of a network device may receive first traffic data obtained by a second processing component of the network device. The first processing component may store the first traffic data as residual statistics. The first processing component may obtain second traffic data associated with a copy of a traffic stream processed by the first processing component based on storing the first traffic data as the residual statistics. The first processing component may perform a switchover from the second processing component to the first processing component. The first processing component may determine current traffic data based on the residual statistics and the second traffic data. The current traffic data may be determined based on performing the switchover from the second processing component to the first processing component.

Abstract: A method and system for processing a transaction based on biometric data and access data is disclosed. Different accounts and providers may be used to process transactions, using different message formats, based on user-configured mappings. In one example, the method includes receiving, by a message processing system, an authorization request message from an access device, the authorization request message comprising a biometric template and access data. An interaction entity record identifier, associated with an interaction entity from among a plurality of different interaction entities that process messages in different message formats, may be retrieved. The authorization request message may be converted from a first format to a second format, the second format being compatible with message processing by the interaction entity. The converted authorization request message may be transmitted to the interaction entity for determining whether to authorize the transaction.

Abstract: A system can perform a method to identify when one or more lenses are the wrong prescription for the user. In some embodiments, the system notifies the user to switch prescription lenses or initiates an enrollment process for the lenses. In some embodiments, the system can identify the prescription of a lens and compare the identified prescription to one or more enrolled prescriptions for the user (e.g., previously defined in user settings associated with user profile). When the identified prescription of the lens does not match an expected enrolled prescription for the user), the system can notify the user to switch prescription lenses. When there are no enrolled prescriptions for the user, the device can prompt the user to enroll the lens.

Abstract: Provided is an electrostatic clutch. The electrostatic clutch includes: multiple arrays of HIN electrodes, a respective pass-through channel being formed between any two arrays of the multiple arrays of HIN electrodes; and multiple arrays of biased electrodes, each array of the multiple arrays of biased electrodes moving back and forth in the respective pass-through channel such that electrostatic force is generated between the multiple arrays of biased electrodes and the multiple arrays of HIN electrodes. Such configuration allows microphone performance over a wide range of atmospheric pressures which is likely expected by applications. This is achieved electrostatically in a purely passive way having advantages over other designs which require complex electronics and active control. Physically decoupling the membrane and sense structure simplifies design of the sense structure as only small AC perturbations of the rotor is considered with no DC changes in rotor position.

Abstract: An optoelectronic system includes a transmit side and a receive side. The transmit side and the receive side each include an oversampled phase locked loop configured to receive a decimated system clock signal. Each phase-locked loop is configured to output a high frequency sampling clock signal that, in the case of the transmit side, may be leveraged to generate an arbitrary current waveform that, in turn, can be delayed by a delay-locked loop before being applied to a current-controlled light emitting element. The receive side can generate a clock signal at the same high frequency as the transmit side and can be configured to trigger a reset of the transmit side so that the high frequency clock signals between the transmit and receive sides are synchronized.
