Abstract: A method includes receiving a representation of a spoken utterance, processing the representation of the spoken utterance to identify, from a number of candidate domains, a request and a serving domain, and routing the request to a personal assistant based on the request and the serving domain. Identification of the serving domain is based on one or more of a contextual state, a behavior profile of a speaker of the utterance, and a semantic content of the utterance.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for implementing a vulnerability management module are provided. A receiver receives a request for dynamically scanning vulnerability of a target computing device based on testable vulnerability criteria extracted from a database. A processor dynamically executes the testable vulnerability criteria from the SCCM based on the received request; creates a static SCCM advertisement with a dynamic pre/post validation check capability based on a result of the dynamically executing the testable vulnerability criteria; reports a success or a failure of the static SCCM advertisement related to the testable vulnerability criteria to indicate whether a vulnerability exists within the target computing device; and automatically remediates the vulnerability when it is determined that the vulnerability exists within the target computing device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention contemplate a shadow ring that provides increased or decreased and more uniform deposition on the edge of a wafer. By removing material from the top and/or bottom surfaces of the shadow ring, increased edge deposition and bevel coverage can be realized. In one embodiment, the material on the bottom surface is reduced by providing a recessed slot on the bottom surface. By increasing the amount of material of the shadow ring, the edge deposition and bevel coverage is reduced. Another approach to adjusting the deposition at the edge of the wafer includes increasing or decreasing the inner diameter of the shadow ring. The material forming the shadow ring may also be varied to change the amount of deposition at the edge of the wafer.

Abstract: A pilot-operated hydraulic directional cartridge valve includes an installation sleeve and a control slide. The installation sleeve includes a bore, a first portion towards its front end face, a third portion towards its rear end face, and a second portion between the first and third portions. The first portion has a first external sealing diameter and the third portion has a second external sealing diameter greater than the first external sealing diameter. The second portion includes radial openings and possesses an external diameter greater than first external sealing diameter and smaller than the second external sealing diameter in the region of the radial openings. The control slide is guided in the axial direction on a guide diameter of the installation sleeve, behind the radial openings. The ratio between the first external sealing diameter and the guide diameter is in the range between 1.10 and 1.22.

Abstract: An application runs in a first security zone of a computer system. Trace information generated from running the application is stored in a first security zone. Filtered trace information is generated by removing specified information from the trace information. The filtered trace information is stored in a particular storage location within the first security zone. An adapter application that is running within the first security zone is executable to access the particular storage location and call a second security zone. The adapter application transmits, from the first security zone to a datastore within the second security zone, the filtered trace information stored in the particular storage location. Communication between the first security zone and the second security zone is one-way from the first security zone to the second security zone.

Abstract: Examples of techniques for constructing, evaluating, and improving a search string for retrieving images are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a processing device, a plurality of images returned as results to an executed search string in the form of a tuple including an item class, an action and an actor. The method further includes generating, by the processing device, a collection similarity score by comparing at least one of the plurality of images to at least one other of the plurality of images. The method further includes determining, by the processing device, whether the collection similarity score exceeds a collection threshold. The method further includes, based at least in part on determining that the similarity score does not exceed the collection threshold, indicating that the search string is ineffective at indicating the item use.
