Abstract: Information technology service management (ITSM) incident reports are converted from textual data to multiple vectors using an encoder and parameters are selected, where the parameters include a base cluster number and a threshold value. A base group of clusters is generated using an unsupervised machine learning clustering algorithm with the vectors and the parameters as input. A cluster quality score is computed for each of the base group of clusters. Each cluster from the base group of clusters with the cluster quality score above the threshold value is recursively split into new clusters until the cluster quality score for each cluster in the new clusters is below the threshold value. A final group of clusters is output, where each cluster from the final group of clusters represents ITSM incident reports related to a same problem.

Abstract: An ingress fabric endpoint coupled to a switch fabric within a network device reorders packet flows based on congestion status. In one example, the ingress fabric endpoint receives packet flows for switching across the switch fabric. The ingress fabric endpoint assigns each packet for each packet flow to a fast path or a slow path for packet switching. The ingress fabric endpoint processes, to generate a stream of cells for switching across the switch fabric, packets from the fast path and the slow path to maintain a first-in-first-out ordering of the packets within each packet flow. The ingress fabric endpoint switches a packet of a first packet flow after switching a packet of a second packet flow despite receiving the packet of the first packet flow before the packet of the second packet flow.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to an electrode produced with a non-toxic solvent, resulting in a homogeneous mixture with uniform distributions of a conductive additive and a binder. Electrodes produced according to the present disclosure feature narrow binder particle size distribution, which distinguishes such electrodes from typical electrodes produced via a N-Methyl-Pyrrolidone (NMP) process. The resulting microstructure promotes the flow of current through the electrode and has an improved cycling stability due, in part, to the binder's and the conductive additive's ability to bind with the active material particles used in the fabrication of the electrode.

The DNN is trained in a training phase or production phase of the processor. An aging sensor is used to distinguish classification of aged data vs. normal data and data from security attack.

Abstract: A digital phase spacing detector with programmable delay lines is described. Each programmable delay line receives a clock. The output of the programmable delay lines is compared by a logic and then passed through a glitch detector. Each of the clocks pass through the programmable delay lines that are tuned to a point where the clock edges at the output of the delay lines are aligned and glitches start appearing at the output of the logic. A calibration scheme uses replica cells (replica of VCO cells) in the measurement path. The calibration scheme calculates the average of clock phase differences through a digital control replica buffer, and this average clock phase difference is applied to the VCO delay stage cells. The PLL is then allowed to relock with the calibrated VCO delay stage cells. This process can be repeated several times to reduce the phase errors between the clock phases.
