Abstract: A distributed storage system may store data object instances in persistent storage and may store keymap information for those data object instances in a distributed hash table on multiple computing nodes. Each data object instance may include a composite key containing a user key. The keymap information for each data object instance may map the user key to a locator and the locator to the data object instance. A request to store or retrieve keymap information for a data object instance may be routed to a particular computing node based on a consistent hashing scheme in which a hash function is applied to a portion of the composite key of the data object instance. Thus, related entries may be clustered on the same computing nodes. The portion of the key to which the hash function is applied may include a pre-determined number of bits or be identified using a delimiter.

The modem detects the frequency error ?f, introduced in the signal path from the output of the base station at ground to the output of baseband conversion on the satellite, by analyzing the baseband signal at the baseband conversion to estimate the received carrier f?c and subtracting it the from the expected frequency (fc).

Abstract: Security policies are made dependent on location of a device and the location of a device is determined and the appropriate security policy applied without providing the device’s location to a server. A device determine its location and identifies a security policy identifier mapped to a zone including the location. The device requests the security policy corresponding to the identifier from a server and implements it. The device may also store a database of the security policies and implement them according to its location. Devices registered for a user evaluate whether locations detected for the devices correspond to impossible travel by the user. Objects encoding geolocation data of a device may be encrypted with a private key of the device and the public key of another to prevent access by an intermediary server.

Abstract: A memory array includes memory cells forming a data word location accessed in response to a word line signal. A data sensing circuit configured to sense data on bit lines associated with the memory cells. The sensed data corresponds to a current data word stored at the data word location. A data latching circuit latches the sensed data for the current data word from the data sensing circuit. A data modification circuit then performs a mathematical modify operation on the current data word to generate a modified data word. The modified data word is then applied by a data writing circuit to the bit lines for writing back to the memory cells of the memory array at the data word location. The operations are advantageously performed within a single clock cycle.

Abstract: A memory circuit includes an array of memory cells arranged with first word lines connected to a first sub-array storing less significant bits of data and second word lines connected to a second sub-array storing more significant bits of data. A row decoder circuit coupled to the first and second word lines generates word line signals. A word line gating circuit is configured to selectively gate passage of the word line signals to the second word lines for the second sub-array in response to assertion of a maximum value signal. A data modification circuit performs a mathematical operation on data read from the array of memory cells, and asserts the maximum value signal if the mathematical operation performed on the less significant bits of data from the first sub-array produces a maximum data value.

Abstract: In implementations of systems for generating snap guides relative to glyphs of editable text rendered in a user interface using a font, a computing device implements a snap guide system to receive input data describing a position of a cursor relative to the glyphs of the editable text in the user interface. The glyphs of the editable text are enclosed within a bounding box having a height that is less than a height of an em-box of the font. The snap guide system generates a first group of snap guides for the glyphs of the editable text which includes a snap guide for each side of the bounding box and a snap guide for an x-height of the font. The snap guide system generates an indication of a particular snap guide of the first group of snap guides for display in the user interface based on the position of the cursor.
