Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for providing a permissions-aware search and knowledge management system that incorporates user suggested results, document verification, and intelligent user activity tracking across group hierarchies to improve the quality and relevance of search results are described. The permissions-aware search and knowledge management system may enable content stored across a variety of local and cloud-based data stores to be indexed, searched, and displayed to authorized users. The identification and ranking of relevant documents corresponding with a user's search query may take into account user suggested results from the user and others assigned to the same group as the user, whether the underlying content of a search result was verified by a content owner as being up-to-date, the amount of time that has passed since the underlying content was verified by the content owner, and the recent activity of the user and related group members.

The loss values can be added to a pool of gradients. A variance of gradients can be calculated from the pool of gradient vectors. The variance of gradients can be used to update a neural network.

Abstract: A first read request for data stored at a non-volatile memory is received by a primary storage controller. The data is programmed from the non-volatile memory to a first cache of the primary storage controller, the first cache to store the data over a first time range.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content providing, searching and/or hosting systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework for compiling, updating and dynamically managing a confidence graph for a user that leads to generation of a scored interest profile for the user that content providers can utilize as a basis for disseminating their proprietary digital content. The disclosed confidence graph provides a scored interest profile for each user that is based on authenticated user data derived from an inbox of the user. The confidence graph is not only derived from authenticated data, but is also dynamic and evolves simultaneously with changing user interests. Thus, digital content is selected and transmitted to users based on the current, real-time digital data reflecting their current interests as reflected by their inbox activity.

The text of the coupon text is rewritten to apply to the different products, brands, and product classes provided by the merchant. The coupons may be ranked, and the top results of the ranked coupons may be returned for presentation on a website.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for minimizing hash collisions of composite keys. Each component (“key component”) of the composite key is converted into a linear index that uniquely represents that key component. Such a one-to-one mapping reduces the length (i.e., range of values the key component represents) of each component without introducing any collisions thereby effectively resulting in the lossless compression of the individual key components. Such a linear index for each converted key component is stored in a separate lookup memory. A reduced composite key is then created by joining together the linear indices that represent the components of the composite key thereby reducing the total length or domain (i.e., range of values the composite key represents) of the original composite key in a lossless manner. In this manner, by reducing the total length of the composite key, hash collisions of composite keys are minimized.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for characterizing electrical components for evaluating performance in a high voltage transient protection circuit. Impedance graphs provided by manufacturers for electrical components are typically low voltage measurements that do not necessarily accurately reflect component performance at high voltages above 150 volts. It is important to characterize and understand the behavior of these components at high voltages in order to ensure the components will protect circuitry as expected. In certain embodiments, a characterization method includes obtaining time domain voltage measurements from two terminals of a device under test (DUT) as it is exposed to high voltage transients from an electrical fast transient (EFT) generator. The time domain voltage data is transformed into frequency domain voltage data using a transform algorithm, and additional analysis is performed to derive scattering parameters, impedance, and other valuable metrics for component characterization.
