Abstract: A glass-based assembly includes a glass or glass-ceramic substrate comprising a surface. The surface has flaws, such as a population of small cracks extending into the surface, whereby the substrate is weakened relative to ideal strength thereof. The assembly further includes a coating coupled to the substrate and overlaying at least some of the flaws. Ultimate strength of the substrate with the coating coupled thereto is greater than that of the substrate alone, without the coating.

Abstract: The embodiments of present disclosure herein address unresolved problems of a file path encryption, a manual quality check and a dual bar-code verification while scanning and transferring of the answer sheets to a server via a communication network. Embodiments herein provide a system and method for ensuring a dual bar code-based authentication of answer sheets. The system and method provide a multilevel security that is achieved by a programmatic scanning and validation. A metadata tagging, and manual quality check can be carried out by an operator. The system and method provide a file transfer over a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) network and with the help of a blow-fish algorithm, media files path is stored in an encrypted manner. The system and method restrict any third-party entity to get access to the confidential data and ensure a single user authorization from scanning, monitoring to package creation and an operator management.

Abstract: Methods for operation fragmentation with metadata serialization in query processing pushdowns are performed by systems and devices. A compute node receives a query directed to database data, and generates query text fragments. Portions of metadata of the database are read from different page servers, and are serialized by the compute node. Page identities of data pages in a page server that stores the data are determined from a page index at the compute node, and the compute node provides the text fragments, the serialized metadata, and the page identities to the page server storing the data. The page server compiles the text fragments based on the serialized metadata to generate an executable query plan for the query. The page server initializes and performs execution of the executable query plan against the data as a pushdown query operation, and a result of pushdown query operation is provided to the compute node.

Abstract: Distributed database systems including compute nodes and page servers are described herein that enable compute nodes to pushdown certain query processing compute tasks to the page servers to take advantage of otherwise idle compute resources at the page servers, and to reduce the quantity of data that moves between compute nodes and page servers. A distributed database system includes a page server and a compute node, wherein the page server is configured to maintain multiple versions of stored data objects. The compute node is configured to receive a query and generate a transaction context (TC) and modified table schemas (MTS) scoped to the query, and pushdown the query, TC and MTS to the page server that is configured to determine which data objects at the page server satisfy the query, and for each such object, which version of the object should be returned based on the TC.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for facilitating implementation of machine learning models in embedded software. In embodiments, a lean machine learning model, having a limited number of layers, is trained in association with a complex machine learning model, having a greater number of layers. To this end, a complex machine learning model, having a first number of layers, can be trained based on an output generated from a lean machine learning model used as input to the complex machine learning model. Further, the lean machine learning model, having a second number of layers less than the first number of layers, is trained using a loss value generated in association with training the complex machine learning model. Thereafter, the trained lean machine learning model can be provided for implementation in an embedded software.

Abstract: Systems and methods dynamically generate tailored exit and post-exit content for web conferences. During presentation of conference content for a web conference, metadata is stored for one or more participant interactions with the web conference via a web conferencing client on a user device. Data associated with an exit from the web conference for the web conferencing client is received. Responsive to the data associated with the exit from the web conference, content is generated based on an exit context determined at least in part on the metadata regarding the one or more participant interactions. The generated content is provided for presentation on the user device.

Abstract: Spot aware print workflow techniques and system are described. In an implementation, a digital document is received for printing that includes a plurality of objects. Spot functionality is detected as corresponding to a respective object based on object properties detected for the respective object. One or more spot planes for are generated based on the spot functionality and a determination is made of color values for the one or more spot planes, respectively, based on context data describing a context, in which, the one or more spot planes are to be printed. The spot planes having the color values are output for printing by a print mechanism.

Abstract: In some examples, a virtual conferencing platform establishes a virtual conference among a host client and multiple devices. During the virtual conference, the virtual conferencing platform receives a start-triggering signal from the host device to start an interactive session and generates an interactive component for the interactive session in response to receiving the start-triggering signal. The interactive component comprises a UI element presenting a combination of interaction options, and multiple responses. The virtual conferencing platform causes the UI element presenting the combination of interaction options to be displayed in respective participant UIs of the virtual conference on the multiple devices and receives the multiple responses from the multiple devices. The virtual conferencing platform then receives an end-triggering signal and deactivates the interactive component in the respective UIs of the virtual conference on the multiple devices in response to receiving the end-triggering signal.

Abstract: Methods for page split detection and affinity in query processing pushdowns are performed by systems and devices. Page servers perform pushdown operations based on specific, and specifically formatted or generated, information, instructions, and data provided thereto from a compute node. Page servers also determine that page splits have occurred during reading of data pages maintained by page servers during pushdown operations, and also during fulfillment of compute node data requests. To detect a data page has split, page servers utilize information from a compute node of an expected next data page which is compared to a next data page in the page server page index. A mismatch in the comparison by page servers indicates data page was split. Compute nodes and page servers store and maintain off-row data generated during data operations via page affinity considerations where the off-row data is stored at the same page server as the data.
