Abstract: Techniques are provided herein to form an integrated circuit having a grid of gate cut structures such that a gate cut structure exists between pairs of semiconductor devices. In an example, neighboring semiconductor devices each include a semiconductor region extending between a source region and a drain region, and a gate structure extending over the semiconductor regions of the neighboring semiconductor devices. A gate cut structure is present between each pair of neighboring semiconductor devices thus interrupting the gate structure and isolating the gate of one semiconductor device from the gate of the other semiconductor device. Each of the gate cut structures may be formed at the same time in a grid-like pattern across the integrated circuit (or a portion thereof). Sidewall spacer structures on the sidewalls of the gate structure wrap around ends of each gate structure to form a given gate cut structure.

Abstract: A method for facilitating picking of an incoming call on a device is described here. The method includes transmitting, by a processor of a work device, a workflow execution command to a first device communicatively coupled to the work device. In an example, the method comprises receiving at the work device, a first message indicative of occurrence of an event on a second device communicatively coupled to the work device. The method further comprises sending, by the processor, a first request to the first device to terminate a first connection with the work device. The method includes sending, by the processor, a second request to communicatively couple the first device to the second device. The method includes receiving, by the processor, a second message indicative of completion of the event on the second device. Thus, terminating, by the processor, a second connection of the first device with the second device.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed which allow a secondary storage system to provide data to non-production workloads in conjunction with performing data backup and protection tasks. As disclosed, a secondary storage system exposes backup data stored by the secondary storage system to other workloads, such as test and development applications, data analytics, etc. These non-production workloads can run at the same time the secondary storage system provides backup services to a primary storage system. This consolidation eliminates the need for an enterprise to deploy separate storage clusters for analytics, test and development applications, etc. and eliminates unnecessary copies of data.

Abstract: A method performed by a platform for dynamically adjusting a toll price of a toll road. The method includes receiving a plurality of inputs to estimate congestion on a toll road. The method further includes receiving a request from one or more users to provide prices of the toll road. Once the plurality of inputs are received, the method includes estimating the congestion on the toll road. Based on the estimated congestion on the road and historical toll bidding information, the method includes determining an initial toll price at the toll road for each of the one or more users. The initial prices are then notified to respective users to receive their real-time toll bidding responses. Based on the received real-time toll bidding responses, the method includes dynamically adjusting the respective initial toll price for the toll road.

Abstract: A request to write data corresponding to at least a first portion of a file is received. It is determined whether to perform the request either as an in-place write or as an out-of-place write. Performing the in-place write comprises performing a write to a low latency storage device, and performing the out-of-place write comprises performing a write to a higher latency storage device. The request is performed as either the in-place write or the out-of-place write based on the determination. Performing the request as the in-place write includes writing the data to a first location on a storage tier storing the first portion of the file, and performing the request as the out-of-place write includes writing the data to a second location on one of a plurality of storage tiers of a computing node, other than the first location.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and apparatus for highlighting text in an image disposed in a markup language document are disclosed. Location data identifying a location, size and orientation of a text element in the image may be obtained, where the text element is oriented in a direction that is non-orthogonal to vertical and horizontal axes of the image. A context for a canvas element in the document may be obtained and rotated to align the context to the orientation of the text element using the location data. The context may also be translated to the location of the text element using the location data, and a text highlighting element that at least partially overlays the text element may be generated.

Abstract: A control circuit obtains a first set of rules that define a conveyability range for containers as a function of conveyability constraints pertaining to an intermediary distribution facility. The control circuit also accesses conveyability constraint information for the intermediary distribution facility and generates a conveyability range for that facility by evaluating the constraint information against the first set of rules. The control circuit obtains a second set of rules that define an objective function that uses the conveyability range as a constraint to determine an optimal container pack size for the given item. (By one approach these teachings will also accommodate using at least two additional constraints, such as a so-called days-of-supply (DOS) constraint and a so-called pack-and-a-half constraint.) The control circuit then generates an optimal container pack size for the given item by evaluating the objective function against the conveyability range (and other selected constraints).

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for remote code execution between computing environments having various dissimilarities. Client requests at a source environment lead to calls of various types lacking immediate support within the source environment. Calls are delegated to the target environment, where function schemas, data schemas, or copies of source-side schemas are variously used to reconcile called source-side entities with their target-side counterparts. Inconsistencies between name and data representations and datatypes are also addressed. Serially communicated (JSON) parameters are resolved into required target-side multi-level parameter structures, and vice versa. Expedited bulk data access to/from a database layer is supported. A use case is described for phased migration of a software application. Generic and extensible remote code execution allows rapid migration, adaptation, or deployment of software applications across diverse computing environments.

Abstract: Processing a circuit design includes stabilizing the circuit design by a design tool that performs one or more iterations of implementation, optimization assessment, optimization, and stability assessment until a threshold stability level is achieved. The design tool determines, in response to satisfaction of the threshold stability level, different strategies based on features of the circuit design and likelihood that use of the strategies would improve timing. Each strategy includes parameter settings for the design tool. The design tool executes multiple implementation flows using different sets of strategies to generate alternative implementations. One implementation of the alternative implementations nearest to satisfying a timing requirement is selected.
