Abstract: Depth maps are generated based on a sequence of posed images captured by a camera, the depth maps are fused into a truncated signed distance function (TSDF), and an initial estimate of 3-dimensional (3D) scene geometry is generated by extracting a 3D mesh via the TSDF. 3D embeddings are estimated for each vertex in the 3D mesh by mapping each vertex to a multi-view consistent plane embedding space such that vertices on a same plane map to nearly a same place in the embedding space. The vertices are clustered into 3D plane instances based on respective 3D embeddings and geometry information defined by the 3D mesh to create a planar representation of the scene. A location of a virtual element in a virtual world of an augmented reality game is determined based on the planar representation.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus to detect errors in data being accessed in a memory array. In one approach, a memory device includes error detection circuitry, error correction circuitry, and a controller. The controller accesses portions of the memory array. The error detection circuitry determines whether an error exists in the accessed portions. Errors are detected by comparing parity stored in each portion with the computed parity for all data stored in that portion when being accessed. If an error is detected for a portion, an address of that portion is stored in a scrub queue for later correction using the error correction circuitry.

Abstract: A first node, a second node, and one or more third nodes for controlling a remote node via RDMA connection are provided. The first node is connected by RDMA connection to the second node and the third nodes, and the second node is connected by RDMA connection to the third nodes. The first node receives a read request for data from the second node, determines at which third node the data is available, and causes the third node to send the data to the second node. The third node is caused to send the data by receiving a RDMA write request or a send for a command from the first node. The third node sends the data by performing a RDMA write operation or a send operation in response to the command written by the first node directly to a send queue at the third node.

The techniques include intercepting, by a Universal Serial Bus (USB) firewall of a USB device connected to a host, a file access request for a file. The techniques further include transmitting the file access request for the file to an authorization server, where the authorization server determines whether the file access request for the file is permitted based on a hash of the file. The techniques further include receiving a cryptographically signed message from the authorization server based on the hash of the file, where the cryptographically signed message indicates whether the file access request for the file is permitted.

Abstract: Machine learning techniques are leveraged to provide personalized assistance on a computing device. In some configurations a timeline of a user's interactions with the computing device is generated. For example, screenshots and audio streams may be saved as entries in the timeline. Context—the state of the computing device when the entry is created, such as which documents and websites are open—is also stored. Entries in the timeline are processed by a model to generate embedding vectors. The timeline may be searched by finding the embedding vector that is closest to an embedding vector derived from a search query. The user may select a query result, causing the associated context to be restored. For example, if the query is “show me all documents related to my upcoming trip to Japan”, the query result may open documents and websites that were open when booking a flight to Japan.
