Abstract: Imaging systems and techniques are described. For example, an imaging system may receive raw image data captured using an image sensor. The imaging system may process the raw image data according to a first image signal processor (ISP) setting to generate a first image and process the raw image data according to a second ISP setting (that is distinct from the first ISP setting) to generate a second image. The imaging system may output the first image and the second image.

Abstract: Approaches for processing packets transmitted within a Passive Optical Network (PON) using executable software. Processing packets within a PON may be performed by classifying one or more packets, of a plurality of received packets, to a particular PON system component, and then processing the one or more packets classified to the same PON system component on a single physical or virtual processor. The one or more packets may be forwarded between a sequence of one or more software stages. The software stages may each be configured to execute on separate logical cores or on a single logical core.

Abstract: A multi-tenant dynamic secure data region in which encryption keys can be shared by services running in nodes reduces the need for decrypting data as encrypted data is transferred between nodes in the data center. Instead of using a key per process/service, that is created by a memory controller when the service is instantiated (for example, MKTME), a software stack can specify that a set of processes or compute entities (for example, bit-streams) share a private key that is created and provided by the data center.

Abstract: Link data is stored in a distributed link descriptor memory (“DLDM”) including memory instances storing protocol data unit (“PDU”) link descriptors (“PLDs”) or cell link descriptors (“CLDs”). Responsive to receiving a request for buffering a current transfer data unit (“TDU”) in a current PDU, a current PLD is accessed in a first memory instance in the DLDM. It is determined whether any data field designated to store address information in connection with a TDU is currently unoccupied within the current PLD. If no data field designated to store address information in connection with a TDU is currently unoccupied within the current PLD, a current CLD is accessed in a second memory instance in the plurality of memory instances of the same DLDM. Current address information in connection with the current TDU is stored in an address data field within the current CLD.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for text extraction from a receipt image. An example non-transitory computer readable medium comprises instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least improve region of interest detection efficiency by converting pixels of an input receipt image from a first format to a second format, generate a binary representation of the input receipt image based on the converted pixels, the binary representation of the input receipt image corresponding to saturation values for respective ones of the converted pixels, calculate mirror data from the binary representation of the input receipt image, and cluster the binary representation of the input receipt image to identify a first set of candidate regions of interest, the candidate regions of interest characterized by portions of the binary representation of the input receipt image having saturation values that satisfy a threshold value.

Abstract: Alkaline extraction followed by acid precipitation or ultrafiltration method for preparation of protein isolates from oilseeds cakes/meals is followed. The strong alkaline and acidic conditions alter the functional properties of the protein, which adversely affects its quality. The present invention provides a microbial based process to produce protein isolates/concentrates from oilseed cakes/meals or from other similar type of sources either plant or animal origin without addition of strong or diluted acid. The protein is extracted in aqueous media or alkaline aqueous media with or without containing specified salt for specified duration. The extract is centrifuged, mixed with known microbial culture (the process is not limited to the particular strain) and incubated at particular temperature and duration. The precipitated protein is recovered and dried to get protein isolates/concentrates.

Abstract: An automated system and corresponding method is configured to predict a call duration of a customer service interaction between a caller and a customer-service agent of a call center, based at least in part on information provided orally by the caller to the automated system. The automated system transcribes the orally provided information, preprocesses the transcribed data, adds feature enrichment data to supplement the transcribed data, and executes a machine-learning model to predict the caller's intent. If the predicted caller's intent does not have an adequate confidence score associated therewith, the system requests additional data from the caller, and supplements the original data with newly provided data, and again determines a predicted call intent. This process may iterate until the confidence score satisfies applicable confidence criteria prior to utilizing two additional machine-learning models to predict a call duration of the interaction between the caller and a customer-service agent.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for modifying a wafer surface using an organosilicon precursor are provided herein. The wafer surface is dosed with the organosilicon precursor following deposition of a dielectric material by an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. In some implementations, the dielectric layer is made of silicon oxide. Dosing the wafer surface with the organosilicon precursor may occur in the same chamber as the ALD process. The organosilicon precursor may modify the wafer surface to increase its hydrophobicity so that photoresist adhesion is improved on the wafer surface. In some implementations, the wafer surface may be exposed to an inert gas RF plasma after dosing the wafer surface with the organosilicon precursor.

The observability data is evaluated and in response to determining that the observability data indicates the first portion of the distributed application is degraded, the amount of the observability data produced by the first portion of the distributed application is increased. Additionally, the amount of observability data produced by other portions of the distributed application that are correlated with the first portion of the distributed application is also increased.

Abstract: A machine accesses a first image captured prior to initiation of a procedure, where the first image depicts a set of instruments, as well as a second image captured after initiation of the procedure, where the second image depicts a proper subset of the set of instruments depicted in the first image.
