Abstract: A method and system for decoding low density parity check (“LDPC”) codes. An LDPC code decoder includes LDPC decoding circuitry comprising a Q message generator and a P sum adder array. The Q message generator combines an R message from a previous iteration with a P message to produce a Q message. The P sum adder array adds the P message to a difference of an R message from a current iteration and the R message from the previous iteration to produce an updated P message.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a base station (BS) and method for communication in a communication network. The method comprising signaling at least one antenna port number from multiple antenna port numbers to a UE. Also, the method comprises receiving a data and a reference signal (RS) corresponding to the UE. The data and the RS are received on one or more receive antennas of the BS, wherein the RS comprises occupied RS subcarriers and null subcarriers. A location of occupied RS subcarriers and null subcarrier positions are selected according to signaled antenna port. Next, channel parameters are estimated using the occupied subcarriers associated with the received RS, and interference plus noise parameters using the null subcarriers. Thereafter, equalizing the received data on the receive antennas using the measured channel parameters and the interference plus noise parameters for interference rejection and data detection.

The received information technology discovery data items are stored in a multisource data store. The received information technology discovery data items from the plurality of different discovery sources are reconciled to determine an attribute value of a configuration item. The determined attribute value of the configuration item is stored in a configuration management database (CMDB).

Abstract: One example method includes, in response to a crash event, obtaining data protection system credentials, accessing a target storage of the data protection system, obtaining, from the target storage, a configuration file including configuration information for a data protection cluster, and using, by the data protection cluster, the configuration information to self-configure. The method further includes creating a consistency group (CG) of a group of volume, and restoring a journal volume to append backup indexes.

Abstract: One example method includes moving a volume from a source server to a target server. In one example, the volume is moved and the need to copy the source data is eliminated. The volume to be moved is selected and metadata associated with the save sets stored on the volume is exported to a volume bootstrap, which is also stored on the selected volume. The volume is mounted or attached to the target server and the metadata is imported from the volume bootstrap. The volume is made read/write and is moved from the source server to the target server.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-storage media are provided for validating the configuration of one or more applications to be used by one or more users in a healthcare management system. Requests are received to perform a configuration validation for at least one application at a first location. Configuration file data comprising one or more requirements and configuration data for the at least one application is obtained. The configuration validation is performed by conducting a comparative analysis on the configuration file data and the configuration data. If the data is identical, then the requirements are met, and the correct version of the application is installed. If the data is not identical, then the system identifies the correct version that needs to be installed. A message is generated for the first user comprising the configuration validation outcome.

The components may determine whether verification of compliance requires that the subsystems be tested at PON, at POFF, during runtime or a combination thereof, dynamically determine the achievable parallelism for testing the identified subsystems, dynamically determine coverage level requirements for performing or executing built in self tests (BISTs) on each identified subsystem, and perform or execute the BISTs on the subsystems at the determined level of parallel and at the determined coverage level.

Abstract: An automatic rule generation and evaluation system enables a user to generate rules and evaluate the rules even as the rules are generated. The user employs a rules workbench user interface (UI) to provide input regarding the rules to be implemented on data obtained from a plurality of data sources. The rules workbench UI generates scripts from the user input. The scripts are employed to build a model and generate queries. Displaying the result sets obtained from executing the queries enables the user to evaluate the rules in real-time. If the user is satisfied, the user may finalize the rules, else the user can further modify the rules and the steps of rule modification and rule evaluation may be iterated until the rules are finalized.

Abstract: A communal computing device, such as an interactive digital whiteboard, can become unlocked if a user is near the device. The communal computing device may use a sensor such as a camera to capture images of a person and obtain an identifier from a personal device such as a smartphone. A cloud-based provider that is trusted by both the communal computing device and the personal device may associate both the image and the identifier of the personal device with the same user identity. Obtaining the user identity from multiple, different sources provides a secure technique for the communal computing device to recognize a user without the user directly interacting with the communal computing device. If the sensor no longer detects the user or the personal device is no longer detected, then the communal computing device may log off the user. The personal device may be used to confirm log off.

Abstract: Technologies directed to a secured peer-to-peer cloud-assisted authentication exchange protocol are described. A first wireless device receives a first request including information identifying a second wireless device. The first wireless device determines that the information matches second information. The first wireless device activates a virtual access point (VAP) with a modified service set identifier (SSID) having a group identifier appended to a first SSID. The first wireless device authenticates the second wireless device to the VAP. The first wireless device sends credentials and a second SSID to the second wireless device. The second SSID corresponds to a second access point (AP). The first wireless device receives a second request from the second wireless device to connect to the second AP. The first wireless device authenticates the second wireless device with the second AP. The first wireless device deactivates the VAP after expiration of an amount of time.

The system may send a query based on the user intent to a mapping server that stores a three-dimensional (3D) occupancy map containing spatial and semantic information of physical items in the physical environment. The mapping server may be configured to identify a subset of the physical items that are relevant to the user intent. The system may receive, from the mapping server, a response to the query comprising a portion of the 3D occupancy containing the subset of the physical items specific to the user intent. The system may capture a plurality of video frames of the physical environment. The system may process the plurality of video frames and the portion of the 3D occupancy map to provide one or more action labels associated with the task.
