Abstract: A memory controller stores each of a plurality of data blocks encoded by error correction code (ECC) across multiple channels of a redundant memory system. Based on receiving, from the memory system, channel data of a fetch operation requesting a data block, the memory controller decodes the channel data and concurrently generates a predicted channel mark based on tests of channel-induced syndromes generated from the channel data. The predicted channel mark identifies a marked channel among the multiple channels as a likely source of data errors. The memory controller determines whether the decoding detects an uncorrectable error in the channel data and, based on determining the decoding detects an uncorrectable error in the channel data, re-reads channel data corresponding to the data block and corrects the re-read channel data by excluding, from decoding, channel data received from the marked channel.

Abstract: A method performed by a first microservice processor includes receiving a first user indication from a first computing device from a plurality of computing devices of a second user that indicates that a first user requested a service of the second user. A first user-specific data container object is generated that includes first user-specific data elements associated with the service provided to the first user. First user-specific service-necessity information data objects are obtained from electronic resources. The first user-specific data elements and the first user-specific service-necessity information data objects are inputted into a machine learning engine to obtain ranked reference-claim data objects. A chosen reference-claim data object from the ranked reference-claim data objects is chosen by the second user to justify providing the service to the first user.

Abstract: A method of collision localization on a robotic device includes obtaining audio signals from a plurality of acoustic sensors spaced apart along the robotic device; identifying, based on a collision being detected, a strongest audio signal; identifying a primary onset time for an acoustic sensor producing the strongest audio signal, the primary onset time being a time at which waves propagating from the collision reach the acoustic sensor producing the strongest audio signal; generating a virtual onset time set, by shifting a calibration manifold, based on the identified primary onset time, the calibration manifold representing relative onset times from evenly spaced marker locations on the robotic device to the plurality of acoustic sensors; determining scores for the marker locations based a standard deviation of elements in the virtual onset time set; and estimating a location of the collision based on a highest score of the determined scores.
