Abstract: A method for performing template-based intra mode derivation (TIMD) with enhanced candidate intra-prediction modes is provided. A video coder determines a set of most probable modes (MPMs) for intra-coding the current block based on intra-prediction modes used to code neighboring blocks of the current block. The video coder determines a template of the current block among already-reconstructed pixels neighboring the current block. The video coder determines a set of candidate intra-prediction modes to include (i) the set of MPMs and (ii) one or more intra-prediction modes neighboring an MPM in the set of MPMs. The video coder derives an intra-prediction mode from the set of candidate intra-prediction modes based on the determined template and the set of candidate intra-prediction modes. The video coder encodes or decodes the current block by using the derived intra-prediction mode to generate an intra-prediction.

Abstract: A method for a user equipment (UE) monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for power saving signaling. The method includes receiving a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration from a base station (BS) to configure the UE to monitor a scheduling signal on the PDCCH within a DRX active time for multiple transmit-receive points (TRP). Power saving signaling configurations are received from the BS to configure the UE to monitor power saving signaling on the PDCCH for the multiple TRPs, each power saving signaling configuration for a different TRP and comprising a time offset between a start of a nearest power saving signaling and a start of a DRX on-duration time. The PDCCH is monitored according to the power saving signaling configuration. The UE wakes up to monitor the PDCCH for the scheduling signal in the DRX active time according to the DRX configuration when receiving the power saving signaling.

Abstract: Described are systems, devices and methods for staggered bits magnetic recording. A staggered bits track pattern is recorded on granular magnetic recording media, thereby mapping a data bit sequence onto adjacent tracks so that the bits in one track are staggered relative to the bits in the adjacent track. A read head having an effective cross-track width extending across the tracks is aligned to read a sequence of combined bit signals as the read head is advanced in the down-track direction. Each combined bit signal combines one bit from each adjacent track. A data channel coupled to the read head is used to disambiguate the sequence of combined bit signals, thereby reproducing the data bit sequence.

Abstract: An approach to time-series data point anomaly detection is presented. Data point anomalies in time-series data can cause a cascade of incorrect predictions in a time-series data prediction model. Presented herein is an approach to decompose a time-series training data set into elementary components, such as seasonal, trend and residual. The approach determines one or more confidence intervals for elementary components of data points including level shift, variance, and outlier. From these confidence intervals, new data points are analyzed and identified as anomaly data points. The approach also prevents anomaly data points from being incorporated into a time series data prediction model, reducing prediction error in the prediction model.

Abstract: A cloud-based network security system (NSS) is described. The NSS uses a sandbox to safely detonate and extract information about a document and uses machine learning algorithms to analyze the information to predict whether the document contains malicious software. Specifically, during the detonation, static and dynamic information about the document is captured in the sandbox as well as character strings from images in the document. The dynamic information (and sometimes the static information) is input to an AI or machine learning model trained to provide an output indicating a prediction of whether the document contains malware. The character strings are compared with a batch of phishing keywords to generate a heuristic score. A validation engine combines the output from the AI or machine learning model and the heuristic score to classify the document as malicious or clean. Security policies can then be applied based on the classification.

Abstract: A method includes extracting electrons from a remote electron source to negatively charge upper surfaces of a patterned layer with the electrons, and extracting positive ions from a remote ion source to selectively deposit a material on the upper surfaces by attracting the positive ions to the electrons of the upper surfaces. The upper surfaces may be negatively charged by concurrently applying a positive bias at the patterned layer and applying source power with a lower power level to generate plasma. The material may be selectively deposited by concurrently applying a negative bias at the patterned layer and applying source power with a higher power level to plasma. An extraction grid may separate the patterned layer from the plasma. The extraction grid may be electrically floating or coupled to a ground potential during either of the electron extraction step or the ion extraction step.
