Abstract: A polar code construction method and an apparatus. A communication apparatus obtains a reliability weight sequence, and determines a first threshold that indicates a weight of lowest reliability of a subchannel corresponding to an information bit. The communication apparatus determines a non-pre-frozen subchannel corresponding to a content value greater than or equal to the first threshold in the reliability weight sequence as the subchannel corresponding to the information bit based on the first threshold, and performs polar coding on the information bit based on the subchannel corresponding to the information bit.

Abstract: An encoding method, a decoding method, and an apparatus. A symbol quantity S is determined based on an encoding bit quantity L and an energy level quantity B, where S is S1 or S2, S1=L/B, and S2=L/2B. K information sub-channels are determined from an encoding sequence based on the symbol quantity S, the energy level quantity B, and a reliability sequence. K information bits are encoded and a bit sequence is output based on the K information sub-channels, where the K information sub-channels are selected from candidate sub-channels based on an order of reliability of the candidate sub-channels. The candidate sub-channels are S1 sub-channels or 2×S2 sub-channels in a sub-sequence whose energy level is i in the encoding sequence.

Abstract: A carbon dioxide fixation method, recovery method, fixation device and environmentally friendly industrial facility which can reduce material and facility costs. In aqueous solution formation, alkaline solution including: raw material including metal element which can combine with carbonate ions to form carbonate mineral; and chelating agent is formed. In separation, element is reacted with agent in solution to separate element from raw material as metal ions. In mineral formation, compound which can generate carbonate ions is added into solution to react ions generated from compound with metal ions to form carbonate mineral. In pH lowering, carbon dioxide gas is injected into solution to lower pH thereof to a value of or near pH of solution formed in the solution formation. In repetition, new raw material is added into solution to perform separation to pH lowering steps.

Abstract: A set of metadata associated with a plurality of samples is received. The samples are clustered. For members of a first cluster, a set of similarities shared among at least a portion of the members of the first cluster is determined. A cluster member is identified within the first cluster, and in response, additional analysis is caused to be performed on the outlier cluster member.

Abstract: The automatic generation of malware family signatures is disclosed. A set of metadata associated with a plurality of samples is received. The samples are clustered. For members of a first cluster, a set of similarities shared among at least a portion of the members of the first cluster is determined. The similarities are evaluated for suitability as a malware family signature. Suitability is evaluated based on how well the similarities uniquely identify the members of the first cluster. In the event the similarities are determined to be suitable as a malware family signature, a signature is generated.

Abstract: A “Performance Evaluator” provides various techniques for tracking system events to diagnose root causes of application performance anomalies. In general, traces of system events involved in inter-thread interactions are collected at application runtime. These traces are then used to construct inter-thread dependency patterns termed “control patterns.” Control patterns are then evaluated to determine root causes of performance anomalies. Where an application terminates abnormally or full traces cannot be collected for some reason, partial control patterns are constructed for that application. In various embodiments, “fingerprints” are then generated from full or partial control patterns and are matched to fingerprints corresponding to operations in other control patterns extracted from reference traces collected on the same or similar systems. Matched fingerprints or control patterns are then used to deduce the root cause of application performance anomalies associated with full or partial traces.
