Abstract: Intelligent systems are disclosed that respond to user intent and desires based upon activity that may or may not be expressly directed at the intelligent system. In some embodiments, the intelligent system acquires a depth image of a scene surrounding the system. A scene geometry may be extracted from the depth image and elements of the scene may be monitored. In certain embodiments, user activity in the scene is monitored and analyzed to infer user desires or intent with respect to the system. The interpretation of the user's intent as well as the system's response may be affected by the scene geometry surrounding the user and/or the system. In some embodiments, techniques and systems are disclosed for interpreting express user communication, e.g., expressed through hand gesture movements. In some embodiments, such gesture movements may be interpreted based on real-time depth information obtained from, e.g., optical or non-optical type depth sensors.

Abstract: An adaptive hybrid polling technique combines an interrupt mode with a polling mode, and is based on outstanding input/output (OIO) determination to improve I/O performance and to save processor cycles. The OIO includes two types of I/O commands: (1) I/O commands submitted to storage devices for processing, and (2) I/O commands completed by the storage devices but not yet acknowledged by host software. The adaptive hybrid polling technique involves two phases to determine when to poll based on current OIO commands. In the first phase, a determination is made whether there is an adequate number of the first type of OIO commands to prepare for polling. In the second phase, a determination is made whether there is an adequate number of the second type of OIS commands to activate polling.

We found that the simultaneous incorporation of at least two hydrogen bond-forming groups (HBGs) into such a nucleic acid stain can provide for crosslinking interactions between the stain and the target nucleic acid, and lead to a significant increase in the detection sensitivity without substantially increasing undesirable cytotoxicity or mutagenicity properties of the dye compounds. The cyanine dye compounds can have a cyanine structure that connects two particular fused heterocycle ring systems, where at least two HBGs are connected to the core structure through linkers. Also provided are nucleic acid complexes including the cyanine dye compounds, and methods of using the compounds to detect nucleic acids in a biological sample.

Abstract: Certain Embodiments described herein relate to configuring the network-storage stack of two devices (e.g., physical or virtual) communicating together (e.g., an initiator and a target, as defined below) with Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) extension for remote direct memory access (RDMA) iSER, which is a protocol designed to utilize RDMA to accelerate iSCSI data transfer. The iSER protocol is implemented as an iSER datamover layer that acts as an interface between an iSCSI layer and an RDMA layer of the network-storage stacks of the two devices. Using iSER in conjunction with RDMA allows for bypassing the existing traditional network protocol layers (e.g., TCP/IP protocol layers) of the devices and permits data to be transferred directly, between the two devices, using certain memory buffers, thereby avoiding memory copies taking place when the existing network protocol layers are used.
