  • Patent number: 11977957
    Abstract: A quantum computing service may store, in a cache, one or more compiled files of respective quantum functions included in one or more quantum computing programs received one or more customers. When the quantum computing service receives another quantum computing program, from the same or a different customer, the quantum computing service may determine whether the quantum computing program may include one or more of the quantum functions corresponding to the compiled files in the cache. If so, the quantum computing service may use the compiled files in the cache to compile the quantum computing program.

  • Patent number: 11979537
    Abstract: An embedding component is described which embeds information in a scanned document. The embedding component includes a document acquisition component, which acquires a scanned document from an associated scanning device. An information acquisition component acquires variable information associated with the scanned document. An encoding component generates a machine-readable representation of the variable information. A pattern insertion component uses the machine-readable representation to insert at least one machine readable pattern in the scanned document, to generate a modified document. An output component outputs the modified document to an associated output device, such that when the modified document is rendered on print media, the machine-readable pattern is not noticeable to the unaided eye of a person. A processor implements the document acquisition component, information acquisition component, encoding component, pattern insertion component, and output component.

  • Patent number: 11967118
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for implementing a hybrid codec to compress and decompress image data using both lossy and lossless compression.
