  • Publication number: 20200041665
    Abstract: A scintillation block detector employs an array of optically air coupled scintillation pixels, the array being wrapped in reflector material and optically coupled to an array of silicon photomultiplier light sensors with common-cathode signal timing pickoff and individual anode signal position and energy determination. The design features afford an optimized combination of photopeak energy event sensitivity and timing, while reducing electronic circuit complexity and power requirements, and easing necessary fabrication methods. Four of these small blocks, or “miniblocks,” can be combined as optically and electrically separated quadrants of a larger single detector in order to recover detection efficiency that would otherwise be lost due to scattering between them.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may perform calibration of a transceiver chain to maintain or improve operation of a device or comply with legal or protocol requirements. The UE may receive one or more wireless signals indicating a first set of resources where the first device is scheduled to transmit or receive communications. The UE may calibrate a wireless transceiver chain of the first device in a second set of resources. The second set of resources excludes the first set of resources and includes at least a portion of a third set of resources. The third set of resources are resource in which the first device has an option to transmit or receive communications based on a protocol configuration.

  • Patent number: 10540325
    Abstract: A method and device for identifying junk picture files, which are used for a server side to identify junk picture files in cached network data. The method comprises: obtaining a directory to be detected; determining whether the number of files in the directory is greater than or equal to a first preset value; if so, determining whether file names of the files in the directory contain keywords which represent the cached network data; if the keywords are contained, determining that the files in the directory are the cached network data, and then, determining whether keywords which represent useless picture files exist in the cached network data, so as to find out whether junk picture files exist; if the junk picture files exist, identifying the found picture files as cached junk picture files; and recording a directory path where the cached junk picture files are located. By means of the above solution, the cached network junk picture files can be accurately identified.

  • Patent number: 10536476
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method generates a trigger registration for a selected triggering type. The generated trigger registration is stored in a triggering persistency. A received event from an event persistency is analyzed and data associated with the analyzed event is compared with the triggering persistency. Based on the comparison and using a pattern execution framework, an enterprise threat detection (ETD) pattern is processed to perform actions responsive to the received event.

  • Patent number: 10530892
    Abstract: Processing received job requests for a multi-versioned distributed computerized service. For each received job request, the job request is channeled to an appropriate service processing node that depends on the version of the distributed computing service that is to handle the job request. A version of the distributed computing service is assigned to the incoming job request. A service processing node that runs a runtime library for the assigned service version is then identified. The identified service processing node also has an appropriate set of one or more executables that allows the service processing node to plan an appropriate role (e.g., compiler, scheduler, worker) in the distributed computing service. The job request is then dispatched to the identified service processing node.

  • Patent number: 10530794
    Abstract: Search results are received from an initiated free text search of log data from one or more logs, where the free text is performed using search terms entered into a free text search graphical user interface. A set of at least one search result is selected from the search results containing an event desired to be identified in a completed enterprise threat detection (ETD) pattern. A forensic lab application is rendered to complete an ETD pattern. An event filter is added for an event type based on normalized log data to a path. A relative ETD pattern time range is set and an ETD pattern is completed based on the added event filter.

  • Publication number: 20190394132
    Abstract: A computing system and a method are provided for determining a network traffic routing path through a service function chain (SFC). A joint network slicing and traffic engineering problem is provided that may be solved to identify network slicing configuration and traffic engineering parameters to provide a set of function nodes, the SFC, and the network traffic routing path from the source node to the destination node. The joint network slicing and traffic engineering problem P may be solved by minimizing a resource objective associated with the joint network slicing and traffic engineering problem, in accordance with a set of one or more constraints. Instructions may be transmitted to a network orchestrator to create the service function chain in a network slice on the set of network nodes in accordance with the identified network slicing configuration and traffic engineering parameters, to provide the network traffic routing path.

  • Publication number: 20190387073
    Abstract: Processing a job request for multiple versions of a distributed computing service. The service processing node does this by at least interleavingly (e.g., via time sharing with rapid context switching, or by actually concurrently) running a first runtime library associated with a first service version of the distributed computerized service and a second runtime library associated with a different service version of the distributed computerized service. While running the first runtime library, job requests of a first service version may be at least partially processed using a first set of one or more executables that interact with the first runtime library. While running the second runtime library, job requests of a second service version may be at least partially processed using a second set of one or more executables that interact with the second runtime library.
