Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for facilitating improved training of a supervised machine learning process, such as a decision tree. First and second object detections of an object depicted in a video are respectively generated using first and second object detectors, with the second object detector requiring more computational resources than the first object detector to detect the object. Whether a similarity and a difference between the first and second object detections respectively satisfy a similarity threshold and a difference threshold is determined. When the similarity threshold is satisfied, the first object detection is stored as a positive example for the machine learning training. When the difference threshold is satisfied, the first object detection is stored as a negative example for the machine learning training.

The TSC also comprises a flight crew decision aid application configured to receive a flight crew request for simulated data from a touch screen user interface, generate and transmit one or more requested trajectory requests to the FPTGE, receive data from the one or more theoretical trajectories from the FPTGE, and display the requested simulated data on the touch screen user interface.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide an approach for optimizing a presentation of content on a display of a user device for n identified user. Application behavior metrics and user behavior metrics are tracked over time for the particular user based on the applications executing on the user device and the users interactions with the content presented by each application. Sections of content are assigned a priority based on the collected metrics which identify content sections (i.e., focus areas) most likely relevant to the user. Based on the assigned priorities, content from one or more applications is presented to the user in an optimal manner (e.g., not overlaid or obscured).

Abstract: A database session in an active standby server on which an active standby database resides receives a DML statement. The session is suspended while the statement is redirected over a database link to a primary database on which the statement is executed. Information associated with execution of the statement is communicated to the session in the active standby server. Redo records describing changes to the contents of the primary database are applied to the active standby database and control is returned to the session. Prior to commitment of a transaction including the statement, a query directed to data to which the statement was directed is received at the active standby server from a client and executed on the active standby database absent use of a database link based on whether information associated with a database session associated with the client matches the information associated with execution of the statement.

A second gear is fixedly attached to the second cannula. A torsion spring is interposed between the first gear and the second gear. The torsion spring is connected to each of the first gear and the second gear. A ratchet drive mechanism is configured to wind the torsion spring to store energy during a cocking operation, and is configured to release the energy stored by the torsion spring during a firing operation to drivably rotate the first gear to rotate the first cannula relative to the second cannula.

Abstract: A system and method for retrieval of similar images related to query images is provided. The query images are pre-processed for noise removal by selecting filtering technique based on noise variance estimation in each query image with respect to pre-set noise variance threshold value. The pre-processed query images are pre-classified for determining class one image identifier. Image types are generated from pre-processed query images for determining class two image identifier. Features are extracted from pre-classified query images based on class one image identifier and from generated images based on class two image identifier. The images similar to query images are retrieved which have features similar to extracted features of pre-classified query images and generated images. The retrieved similar images are ranked for determining most similar images with respect to query images. Similarity between query images and retrieved similar images is analyzed for re-ranking retrieved similar images.

Abstract: A cloud-based service records time-series data of a plurality of metrics from a plurality of tenants. The time-series data comprises a series of measures of a metric at sequential points in time. The time-series data is recorded in database tables in a manner that consumes more resources when the cardinality of the time-series data is high. When the cardinality of the data for the tenant is too high, the tenant is blacklisted and further data for the tenant is not stored. In addition to identifying incoming time-series data by the tenant that produced it, the data may also identify its type. In this case, the cardinality of each type of data may be determined and the types of data may be individually allowed or blacklisted for the tenant.

Abstract: Herein are high throughput techniques for incorporating cryptographic blockchains into relational data. In an embodiment, a computer indicates, in a database dictionary in a database, that a relational table is for blockchain storage. The relational table contains application column(s). In response to that indication, the relational table is associated with system column(s) that are unmodifiable by administrators and clients of the database. The system column(s) include a cryptographic hash column. A request to store a particular value in a particular application column is received from a client. In response to receiving the request, a cryptographic hash value is calculated for a new row for the relational table. In the relational table, the computer stores the new row that contains: the particular value in the particular application column, and the cryptographic hash value in the cryptographic hash column.

Abstract: A method and system to automatically convert a presentation with slide materials to a digitized notetaking resource, by inputting a media stream from a presentation to a compute server, converting the media stream by segmenting the video into smaller segments, transcribing audio of the presenter's speech into text. Time stamp metadata is associated to elements of the segmented video (and, if available, slide data), audio, and transcribed text, and the elements are time ordered. A user interface is provided displaying elements of the segmented video/slide data and transcribed text.
