Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed technologies include receiving, from a first user device, a first user interface event that includes an upload of a media asset but does not indicate an intended usage for the media asset, determining an intended usage based on a second user interface event, mapping the intended usage to a usage-based specification, converting the media asset to a usage-specific version of the media asset by applying the usage-based specification to the media asset, and initiating a distribution of the usage-specific version of the media asset instead of the media asset to at least one second user device different from the first user device.

Abstract: A wireless telecommunication system is described that denies wireless telecommunication service to a wireless terminal in a proscribed area (e.g., prison, military installation, academic testing center, school, etc.). The system comprises an adjunct called a “service sentry.” The service sentry uses measurements of the location-dependent traits of the radio signals transmitted to, and received from, each wireless terminal in its purview to generate an estimate of the location of the wireless terminal. When the service sentry estimates that the wireless terminal has entered the proscribed area, it requests that the wireless switching center that services the proscribed area deny service to the wireless terminal. When the service sentry estimates that the wireless terminal has exited the proscribed area, it requests that the wireless switching center that services the proscribed area provide service to the wireless terminal.

Abstract: Systems or methods of the present disclosure may provide a library including multiple macros that may be pre-compiled prior to implementation of the design. For example, a design may be mapped to one or more macros in the library, and the one or more macros may be placed into and routed between a portion of a region, one region, one or more regions of the integrated circuit device to implement the design. Since the macros may be pre-compiled, compilation time experienced by the designer may correspond to the placement and routing of the one or more macros, which may be less than compilation time for fine-grained operations. The pre-compiled logic within the macros may be set using a lookup table mask to set and/or adjust a functionality of the macro. Additionally or alternatively, the place and route operation may be performed at finer granularities to reduce bottle necks.

Abstract: Coaching systems and methods, and non-transitory computer readable media, include analyzing an agent's interactions to identify knowledge gaps and specific topics where an agent has difficulties. An algorithm uses bootstrap sampling to verify that an agent's scores are significantly different from other agents' scores. The algorithm further uses a mutual information score to find topics that are associated with interactions having a high knowledge gap score.

Abstract: An interconnect interface is provided to enable communication with an off-package device over a link including a plurality of lanes. Logic of the interconnect interface includes receiver logic to receive a valid signal from the off-package device on a dedicated valid lane of the link indicating that data is to arrive on a plurality of dedicated data lanes in the plurality of lanes, receive the data on the data lanes from the off-package device sampled based on arrival of the valid signal, and receive a stream signal from the off-package device on a dedicated stream lane in the plurality of lanes. The stream signal corresponds to the data and indicates a particular data type of the data. The particular data type can be one of a plurality of different data types capable of being received on the plurality of data lanes of the link.

Abstract: Technologies are shown for storing data from a data object in a distributed application architecture and reassembling the data object from the stored data. A first set of data from the data object is stored on a distributed file system, and a second set of data from the data object is stored on a blockchain. In response to a request for the data object, a script from the blockchain is executed to generate a reassembled data object by: obtaining, from the blockchain, metadata to reassemble the data object, obtaining the second set of data from the blockchain and the first set of data from the distributed file system, and generating the reassembled data object using the first set of data and the second set of data based on the metadata.

Abstract: A data management system (DMS) may facilitate snapshot exports between a snapshot storage account and a computing system. The DMS may receive, from the computing system, a request to download data associated with one or more snapshots stored in the snapshot storage account in a first cloud environment. The DMS may generate an export job for execution by one or more computing resources within the first cloud environment based on the request. The export job may be operable to decrypt the data and write the decrypted data to an export storage account in a second cloud environment. The DMS may generate an encrypted download link that is operable to download the decrypted data from the export storage account. The DMS may transmit the encrypted download link to the computing system associated with the request to download the data.

Abstract: A system and related method, including a first processor core, a second processor core and a control circuitry to receive requests to update existing firmware of the first processor core to a new firmware. The control circuitry loads existing firmware onto the second processor core and migrates data associated with the existing firmware on the first processor core to the second processor core. The control circuitry stops the transaction execution by the first processor core while causing the second processor core to execute transactions in place of the first processor core. The control circuitry restarts the first processor core, replaces the existing firmware on the first processor core with the new firmware, and migrates data of the existing firmware on the second processor core to the first processor core. The control circuitry stops the transaction execution of the second processor core and causes the first processor core to execute transactions.

Abstract: A metering system uses an electronics assembly with a single transducer to determine flow rate. The meter assembly emits an ultrasonic beam from the transducer and splits the ultrasonic beam into a first partial beam and a second partial beam. The first partial beam is transmitted over a first path that returns to the electronics assembly, and the second partial beam is transmitted over a second path that returns to the electronics assembly. The first path goes over a first net distance of a measuring channel. The second path goes over a second net distance of the measuring channel. The meter assembly detects the return of the first partial beam and the second partial beam, measures a time difference between the return times, and determines a measurement of a fluid flow through the measuring channel based on the time difference.

Abstract: Compiling a high-level synthesis circuit design for simulation includes analyzing, using computer hardware, a kernel specified in a high-level language to detect pointers therein. A determination is made as to which of the pointers are global address space pointers referencing a global address space. The kernel is instrumented by replacing accesses in the kernel to the global address space with calls to wrapper functions for performing the accesses. A simulation kernel is generated that specifies an assembly language version of the kernel as instrumented.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates wireless communication, more particularly to systems and methods for enabling self-organizing networks in an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN). A system via Near-RT RIC assigns at least one of one or more time-sensitive SON functional elements and one or more time-sensitive RRM functional elements in at least one of the Near-RT RIC and the EMS entity associated with the SMO module. The system via a Near-RT RIC may assign at least one of one or more time-sensitive SON functional elements and one or more time-sensitive RRM functional elements in at least one of the Near-RT RIC and the EMS entity associated with the SMO module. The Near-RT RIC may access via at least one of the xAPPs associated with the O-RAN and the EMN entity or the NMS entity, one or more Performance Monitoring (PM) counters, by requesting respective E2 Nodes via the E2 interface or via the O1 interface, respectively.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes apparatuses and techniques of adaptive PLMN management for varying network conditions. In some aspects, a PLMN manager of a user equipment (UE) searches, as part of a registration procedure, a data repository of PLMN information that includes a PLMN blocked from registration for a duration of time and determines that the PLMN is blocked due to a signal-related condition with a cell of the PLMN (e.g., weak signal). The PLMN manager then determines, during the duration of time, that the signal-related condition between the UE and the cell has improved. In response to the improvement, the PLMN manager unblocks the PLMN before expiration of the duration of time. By so doing, the UE may reattempt registration with the unblocked PLMN at least once before the duration of time expires, which may allow the UE to register more quickly and reestablish network services.
