Abstract: The logging of tasks associated with multiple transactions in the context in which the computing system is capable of having multiple of the transactions active at a given time, and thus in which the order of completion of the transactions is not guaranteed to be the same as the order of initiation of the transactions. A sequence of transaction segment records is added to the log. Each transaction segment record comprises a transaction identifier range that does not overlap with the transaction identifier range in any of the sequence of transaction segment records including the transaction identifier range of any neighboring transaction segment record in the sequence of transaction segment records. Each transaction segment record also includes a log entry identifier range extending from the first task of the first of the transactions to be initiated to the last task of the last transaction to complete.

Abstract: The creation of a collection record that is associated with a collection of data items in a data stream, and that each include a collection definition that defines attributes of data items that are to be considered included within the collection. The collection record also includes an acceleration property to assist in processing the associated collection. When processing a particular collection record, the collection record is evaluated to encounter the acceleration property of the collection. In addition, the collection itself is accessed using the collection definition included within the collection record. The collection is then processed using the acceleration property.

Abstract: The creation of transaction segment records that are each associated with transaction segments within a log that includes multiple tasks, each of at least some associated with a corresponding transaction. The transaction segment records each include a transaction identifier set that define which tasks are included within the transaction segment. The transaction identifier sets are non-overlapping such that the transaction segments may be processed substantially in parallel by dispatching the transaction segment records to different worker threads. The identity of a latest external dependee entity, if any, is included within the transaction segment record. Upon being assigned a transaction segment for processing, the module assigned the transaction segment awaits completion of processing of the latest external dependee entity prior to processing the transaction segment.

Abstract: Printed circuit boards including voltage switchable dielectric materials (VSDM) are disclosed. The VSDMs are used to protect electronic components, arranged on or embedded in printed circuit boards, against electric discharges, such as electrostatic discharges or electric overstresses. During an overvoltage event, a VSDM layer shunts excess currents to ground, thereby preventing electronic components from destruction or damage.

Abstract: A distributed caching hierarchy that includes multiple edge routing servers, at least some of which receiving content requests from client computing systems via a load balancer. When receiving a content request, an edge routing server identifies which of the edge caching servers the requested content would be in if the requested content were to be cached within the edge caching servers, and distributes the content request to the identified edge caching server in a deterministic and predictable manner to increase the likelihood of increasing a cache-hit ratio.

Abstract: Various disclosed aspects provide for protecting components (e.g., integrated circuits) from spurious electrical overvoltage events, such as electrostatic discharge. Embedded components with voltage switchable dielectric materials may protect circuits against electrostatic discharge.

Abstract: A content rewriting system is described herein that allows web site administrators to setup rewriting of web responses in an easy and efficient manner. The system provides a configuration schema and an efficient workflow that enables web administrators to easily setup rules to modify HTML or other content without having a high performance penalty or losing flexibility. The content rewriting system applies regular expressions or wildcard patterns to a response to locate and replace the content parts based on the rewriting logic expressed by outbound rewrite rules. The system parses an initial response generated by a web application, applies one or more outbound rules to rewrite the response, and provides the rewritten response to a client that submitted a request for the response.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for automated training of a plurality of artificial neural networks for phoneme recognition using training data, wherein the training data comprises speech signals subdivided into frames, each frame associated with a phoneme label, wherein the phoneme label indicates a phoneme associated with the frame. A sequence of frames from the training data are provided, wherein the number of frames in the sequence of frames is at least equal to the number of artificial neural networks. Each of the artificial neural networks is assigned a different subsequence of the provided sequence, wherein each subsequence comprises a predetermined number of frames. A common phoneme label for the sequence of frames is determined based on the phoneme labels of one or more frames of one or more subsequences of the provided sequence. Each artificial neural network using the common phoneme label.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for evicting entries from a file handle cache. In accordance with certain embodiments, a two-stage eviction process is utilized. In a first stage of the eviction process, entries in the file entry cache are analyzed and marked for eviction while a shared lock is maintained on the file handle cache. The shared lock enables the file handle cache to be concurrently accessed by a content serving system to service content requests. In a second stage of the eviction process, entries in the file handle cache that are marked for eviction are removed while an exclusive lock is maintained on the file handle cache. The exclusive lock prevents the content serving system from concurrently accessing the file handle cache to service content requests.
