Abstract: Techniques to provide transaction redundancy in an IC include receiving an original memory access request directed to a first memory aperture, constructing a redundant memory access directed to a second memory aperture, and selectively returning a response of the first or second memory aperture to an originator based on contents of the responses. For a write operation, if acknowledgement indicators of the responses indicate success, a response is returned to the originator. For a read operation, if acknowledgement indicators of the responses indicate success and data returned in the response match one another, a response is returned to the originator. If the acknowledgement indicators indicate success, but the data does not match, a retry of the original and redundant read requests is initiated. If any of the acknowledgement indicators do not indicate success, an error is declared. In a mixed-criticality embodiment, the redundant memory access request may be constructed selectively.

Abstract: Keyword localization digital image search techniques are described. These techniques support an ability to indicate “where” a corresponding keyword is to be expressed with respect to a layout in a respective digital image resulting from a search query. The search query may also include an indication of a size of the keyword as expressed in the digital image, a number of instances of the keyword, and so forth. Additionally, the techniques and systems as described herein support real time search through use of keyword signatures.

Abstract: A network device obtains a data package associated with an ISSU procedure and determines, based on the data package, that a control plane of the network device is to be rebooted to facilitate performance of the ISSU procedure. The network device causes, based on determining that the control plane is to be rebooted, a plurality of applications of the network device to stop executing on the network device and a control plane state of the network device to be frozen. The network device then causes the ISSU procedure to be performed. The network causes, based on causing the ISSU procedure to be performed, the control plane state of the network device to be restored and the plurality of applications to resume executing on the network device.

Abstract: In implementations of multi-resolution color-based image search, an image search system determines a color vector for a query image based on a color histogram of the query image by concatenating two color histograms having different resolutions. The image search system can compute distance measures between the color vector of the query image and color vectors of candidate images. The image search system can select one or more of the candidate images to return based on the distance measures utilizing the distance measures as indication of color similarity of the candidate images to the query image.

Abstract: Based on a received digital image and text, a neural network trained to identify candidate text placement areas within images may be used to generate a mask for the digital image that includes a candidate text placement area. A bounding box for the digital image may be defined for the text and based on the candidate text placement area, and the text may be superimposed onto the digital image within the bounding box.

Abstract: Object search techniques for digital images are described. In the techniques described herein, semantic features are extracted on a per-object basis form a digital image. This supports location of objects within digital images and is not limited to semantic features of an entirety of the digital image as involved in conventional image similarity search techniques. This may be combined with indications a location of the object globally with respect to the digital image through use of a global segmentation mask, use of a local segmentation mask to capture post and characteristics of the object itself, and so on.

Abstract: In general, techniques are described for providing a hierarchical naming scheme used to propagate state information within network devices. A network device comprising a topic database and a processor may be configured to perform the techniques. The topic database may be configured to store a hierarchical naming scheme that associates objects representative of the state information to hierarchically arranged topics. The processor may be configured to associate consuming components within the network device to the hierarchically arranged topics, and operate as a producer component to publish an object to one of the hierarchically arranged topics. The processor may also be configured to propagate the published object to one of the consumer components associated with the one of the hierarchically arranged topics.
