  • Publication number: 20240107594
    Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enable a first UE to utilize inference results provided by at least a second UE to improve its inference accuracy. In one aspect, a first UE establishes an ML inference result sharing session with one or more second UEs for at least one ML inference task. The first UE receives a first set of ML inference results associated with the at least one ML inference task, where the first set of ML inference results is received from the one or more second UEs during the ML inference result sharing session. The first UE estimates an aggregated ML inference result based on at least one of the first set of ML inference results or a second set of ML inference results, where the second set of ML inference results is configured by the first UE for the at least one ML inference task.

  • Publication number: 20240004723
    Abstract: Workflow optimization and re-distribution involves a target task set that is determined from a plurality of tasks in a workflow and based on a data flow of the workflow. The target task set is re-distributed to obtain at least one re-distributed task set. Each re-distributed task set indicates a respective data path different from a data path of the target task set and has a same function as the target task set. A simulated data flow for the at least one re-distributed task set is obtained by simulating data flowing in at least one data path indicated by the at least one re-distributed task set. An optimized task set for the target task set is determined based on the simulated data flow for the at least one re-distributed task set.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a preparation method for tricalcium silicate powder. The method includes the following steps: taking CaCO3 powder and SiO2 powder as raw materials for preparation, so as to obtain mixed powder having uniform components; pre-pressing the obtained mixed powder to make a blank; and performing sintering treatment on the obtained blank at a temperature of 1,200 DEG C-1,500 DEG C for 0.5 h-1.5 h, so as to obtain tricalcium silicate, where the sintering treatment is to perform mixed sintering by using auxiliary heating bodies and in cooperation with microwave treatment. According to the present disclosure, the tricalcium silicate is prepared through mixed sintering by using the auxiliary heating bodies and in cooperation with the microwave treatment, and a mixed heating mechanism enables a sample to be heated more easily at a low temperature, so that synthesis purity and efficiency are improved.

  • Publication number: 20230367700
    Abstract: An approach for assisting software developers to fill the data gap and reproducing client application issue using reported reproducing steps is disclosed. The approach involves constructing service request/response sequence (from the developer's side based on the limited data) from customer's reproducing steps and developer's running inspection result and perform UI-service mapping, redirecting service call to data simulator which replay the service request and response, and adjusting service response with multiple data sources and policies. Lastly, the approach can transform the issue to an automatic test script with the service response in a mockup function (e.g., can be used to extend test data and enhance test cases).

  • Publication number: 20230259406
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for workflow data redistribution in a hybrid computing environment comprising a private portion and a public portion of the hybrid computing environment. A received user request, that is serviced by a workflow executed by one or more computing devices of the hybrid computing environment, is parsed to extract criteria of the workflow for servicing the user request. It is determined whether a catalog data structure exists in a public catalog data store of the public portion that satisfies the criteria of the workflow and if not, the user request is processed in a workflow manager computing system of the private portion to generate a catalog that satisfies the criteria of the workflow and generate a result. A portion of the catalog is redistributed by storing the portion of the catalog in the public catalog data store of the public portion.

  • Patent number: 11638069
    Abstract: Techniques are described for using computing devices to perform automated operations to control acquisition of images in a defined area, including obtaining and using data from one or more hardware sensors on a mobile device that is acquiring the images, analyzing the sensor data (e.g., in a real-time manner) to determine the geometric orientation of the mobile device in three-dimensional (3D) space, and using that determined orientation to control the acquisition of further images by the mobile device. In some situations, the determined orientation information may be used in part to automatically generate and display a corresponding GUI (graphical user interface) that is overlaid on and augments displayed images of the environment surrounding the mobile device during the image acquisition process, so as to control the mobile device's geometric orientation in 3D space.

  • Patent number: 11632397
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system includes a processor(s) obtaining an authorization failure from a target application because an access request was denied based on insufficient permissions of a user. The processor(s) institutes a mock interface with a visual appearance of the target application. The mock interface displays predefined data and the target application displays dynamic data, from the server(s) executing the target application. The processor(s) obtains, via the mock interface, a request to change the permissions of the user to the target application, which includes a selection, by the user, through the mock interface, of one or more individual permissions displayed in the mock interface. The processor(s) automatically generates a customized security policy comprising the selection, where based on applying the customized security policy, repeating the access request results in authorized access to the target application.
