Abstract: Articles and devices comprising fluorinated polymers, as well as methods of preparing fluorinated polymers, are generally described. In some cases, such fluorinated elastomers can be used for sensing neural activity, e.g., by encapsulating electronic circuits, or other applications. Furthermore, according to certain embodiments, polymers can, surprisingly, be directly deposited onto layers comprising low molecular weight fluorinated polymers, e.g., without swelling in the presence of certain solvents. Some embodiments are generally directed to devices and methods for treating fluorinated polymers and subsequently depositing material onto the treated fluorinated polymers. This may allow the fabrication and patterning of multilayered articles comprising fluorinated elastomers.

Abstract: Automatic container image registry selection is provided. A predefined number of top performing container image registries is selected from a top of a sorted list of a plurality of container image registries listed in descending order. A cluster of host nodes where a container is deployed is enabled to pull a same container image corresponding to the container utilizing different predefined pulling percentages from the predefined number of top performing container image registries. The cluster of host nodes utilizes a different predefined pulling percentage to pull the same container image from each respective top performing container image registry. A current real time average pulling speed of the cluster of host nodes for the same container image from each respective top performing container image registry of the predefined number of top performing container image registries is recorded over a defined time period.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to dynamic horizontal autoscaling for a multi-tenant service. According to an aspect, a computer-implemented method includes configuring a network computing element to route a plurality of requests from two or more clients to a service in a containerized-networked system. A horizontal service-level autoscaler monitors one or more aspects of the requests to the service from the two or more clients. A new pod including a set of running containers with shared resources in the containerized-networked system is created based at least in part on the horizontal service-level autoscaler determining that at least one of the one or more aspects of the requests exceeds a threshold. A new service mapping is created to accept subsequent requests from one of the two or more clients that triggered creation of the new pod.

Abstract: A system may include a memory and a processor in communication with the memory. The processor may be configured to perform operations. The operations may include calculating a priority factor with a node autonomous center in a node and computing a node service capability with the node autonomous center. The operations may further include selecting, with the node autonomous center, a task based on the priority factor and the node service capability. The operations may further include directing the task to the node.

Abstract: Managing an image storage space is provided. A number of processor units identifies a benchmark image in a similar images group. A number of other images not identified in the similar images group as the benchmark image is a set of similar images. The number of processor units creates an image mapping tree. The image mapping tree has a root block for the benchmark image and blocks arranged in a set of layers below the root block based on the set of similar images; the blocks represent portions of the benchmark image; and a plurality of lower blocks in the blocks in a lower layer correspond to subdivisions in an upper block in the blocks in an upper layer. The number of processor units stores a set of selected blocks in the set of similar images that have differences from a set of corresponding blocks in image mapping tree for the benchmark image.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling elevator dispatch is provided. User data, including user behavior, is collected from a number of users over a specified time period. Elevator use data for a number of elevators in a building is also collected over the specified time period. Applying the user data and elevator use data, an elevator dispatch model is constructed that predicts future elevator use according to predicted user needs. An elevator control system dispatches the elevators according to the dispatch model. The elevator dispatch model is refined according to feedback data collected from users over a subsequent time period.

Abstract: A video is received. One or more subtitles are determined for the video. Whether a word found in a background of the video is similar to a word found in the one or more subtitles is determined. Responsive to determining the word found in the background of the video is similar to the word found in the one or more subtitles, one or more updated subtitles are generated. The one or more updated subtitles include the word found in the background of the video and remove the word found in the one or more subtitles that is similar. A metric for the one or more updated subtitles is calculated. Whether the metric is larger than a threshold is determined. Responsive to determining the metric is larger than the threshold, the video is updated to include the one or more updated subtitles.
