Abstract: A method for locally performing a well test may include receiving, at a processor, data associated with a flow of hydrocarbons directed into an output pipe via a multi-selector valve configured to couple to one or more hydrocarbon wells. The method may also include determining one or more virtual flow rates of the liquid and gas components based on the data. The method may then send a signal to a separator configured to couple to the output pipe, wherein the signal is configured to cause the separator to perform a well test for a respective well when the virtual flow rates of the liquid and gas components do not substantially match well test data associated with the respective well, wherein the well test data comprises one or more flow rates of the liquid and gas components determined during a previous well test for the respective well.

Abstract: An example includes monitoring a media stream for a break of the media stream, the media stream being received by a media client; detecting the break of the media stream, where detection of the break indicates that supplemental content is to be provided during the break; sending a request for supplemental content information to a supplemental content server; receiving the supplemental content information for the break from the supplemental content server, the supplemental content information being based on the location of the media client; streaming the supplemental content to the media client within a supplemental content stream; and sending a notification to the media client, the notification including information that enables the media client to access the supplemental content stream during the break of the media stream based on the notification.

Abstract: One or more link training signals are received, including instances of a link training pattern, on a plurality of lanes of a physical link that includes at least one valid lane and a plurality of data lanes. The plurality of lanes are trained together using the link training signals to synchronize sampling of the valid lane with sampling of the plurality of data lanes. An active link state is entered and a valid signal received on the valid lane during the active link state. The valid signal includes a signal held at a value for a defined first duration and indicates that data is to be received on the plurality of data lanes in a second defined duration subsequent to the first duration. The data is to be received, during the active link state, on the plurality of data lanes during the second defined duration.

Abstract: A distributed computing system for artificial intelligence in autonomously appreciating a circumstance context of a smart device. Raw context data is detected by sensors associated with the smart device. The raw context data is pre-processed by the smart device and then provided to a cloud based server for further processing. At the cloud based server, various sets of feature data are obtained from the pre-processed context data. The various sets of feature data are compared with corresponding classification parameters to determine a classification of a continuous event and/or a classification of transient event, if any, which occur in the context. The determined classification of the continuous event and the transient event will be used to autonomously configure the smart device or another related smart device to fit the context.

After receiving authentication from the server, the information on the mobile device is synced with the server.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for detection and location of active display regions in videos with static borders. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes extracting features from rows and columns of pixels of a video frame. The features are based on horizontal gradient runs (HGRs) and vertical gradient runs (VGRs). The method also includes detecting one or more static regions of the frame, based on a comparison of differences between the features of the current video frame and features extracted from a previous video frame. The method further includes detecting one or more boundaries of the static regions based on a location of a maximum value of one of the features within the static region, if the maximum value is greater than a boundary detection threshold value. Determination of the active region in the current video frame is based on exclusion of the detected static regions.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described that configure network devices to dynamically (1) download privilege setting definitions from an authentication server to address a currently connected set of client devices associated with these privilege setting definitions and (2) clear privilege setting definitions that are no longer in use by client devices connected to the network device. In particular, a network device may determine if a privilege setting definition associated with a successfully authenticated client device is locally available on the network device and request the privilege setting definition from the authentication server when not locally available. In some situations, the authentication server may selectively transmit update messages to network devices that may be affected by an update to a privilege setting definition such that the network devices may request this updated privilege setting definition for download.
