Abstract: Techniques for generating customized synthetic voices personalized to a user, based on user-provided feedback, are described. A system may determine embedding data representing a user-provided description of a desired synthetic voice and profile data associated with the user, and generate synthetic voice embedding data using synthetic voice embedding data corresponding a profile associated with a user determined to be similar to the current user. Based on user-provided feedback with respect to a customized synthetic voice, generated using synthetic voice characteristics corresponding to the synthetic voice embedding data and presented to the user, and the synthetic voice embedding data, the system may generate new synthetic voice embedding data, corresponding to a new customized synthetic voice. The system may be configured to assign the customized synthetic voice to the user, such that a subsequent user may not be presented with the same customized synthetic voice.

The first channel has a first interval of first connection events and the second channel has a second interval of second connection events. The first connection events include a first conflicting connection event conflicting with a second conflicting connection event of the second connection events. A first packet of the first data stream associated with the first conflicting connection event is transmitted in the first conflicting connection event and a second packet of the second channel associated with the second conflicting connection event is transmitted in the first conflicting connection event.

Abstract: A processor comprises a core, a cache, and a ZCM manager in communication with the core and the cache. In response to an access request from a first software component, wherein the access request involves a memory address within a cache line, the ZCM manager is to (a) compare an OTAG associated with the memory address against a first ITAG for the first software component, (b) if the OTAG matches the first ITAG, complete the access request, and (c) if the OTAG does not match the first ITAG, abort the access request. Also, in response to a send request from the first software component, the ZCM manager is to change the OTAG associated with the memory address to match a second ITAG for a second software component. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for managing data conflation. During operation, the system generates matches between a first set of entities in a first dataset from a first data provider and a second set of entities in a second dataset from a second data provider based on comparisons of fields in the first and second datasets. Next, the system modifies a join query for joining the first and second datasets to include operators representing compliance rules for the first or second datasets. The system executes the modified join query to produce a joined dataset that adheres to the compliance rules and stores data related to the joined dataset within a platform that logically isolates the data from additional datasets. During processing of queries of the data, the system modifies the queries to include additional operators that enforce access control policies for the data.

Abstract: A freezer and method of operating a freezer are provided with an adaptive defrost cycle. The freezer includes a controller that operates the freezer to: provide cooling to a cabinet via an evaporator during periodic operational cycles, monitor a time elapsed since a most recent defrost cycle, determine whether the time elapsed is greater than a current defrost interval, and perform a defrost cycle if so. The controller varies the current defrost interval between a first, larger time value and a second, smaller time value based on a plurality of trigger signals in response to various operating characteristics of the freezer monitored by sensors. After each defrost cycle is completed, the current defrost interval is reset to the first, larger time value.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described that facilitate idempotent execution of commands generated by a client for execution by a database server. Each command transmitted to the server includes a command ID generated by the client. The server attempts to execute each command and subsequently stores the command ID associated therewith in a repository along with an indication of whether the command executed successfully. When a new command is received by the server, it determines if the command ID associated therewith has already been stored in the repository. If the command ID associated with the new command has not already been stored in the repository, then the server executes the new command. If the command ID associated with the new command has already been stored in the repository and a previously-received command associated with the command ID has been executed successfully, then the server will not execute the new command.

Abstract: An illustrative embodiment disclosed is a circuit including an edge-triggered flip-flop having a first input port, a first clock port, and a first output port. The edge-triggered flip-flop receives, at the first clock port, a strobe having a first edge and a second edge. The edge-triggered flip-flop receives, at the first input port, a control byte time-aligned with the first edge and a data byte time-aligned with the second edge. The edge-triggered flip-flop passes, to the first output port, the control byte based on the first edge and the data byte based on the second edge. The circuit includes an inputs/outputs (I/O) decoder coupled to the first output port. The I/O decoder sends the control byte to microcontroller and sends the data byte to memory cells.

Abstract: Techniques for recovering from session failures between clients and database servers are described herein. A session may be established between a client and a first database server to handle a database query for the client. A command of the session may be received by the first database server from the client. Data requested by the command may be retrieved. Prior to responding to the command, the data is spooled to a session state stored in a repository of the first database server, and the session state is replicated to one or more additional database servers. The session state stored in the repository of the first database server enables the first database server and client to recover from a failure of the session. The replicated session state enables the additional database server(s) to reestablish the session and respond to the command, instead of the first database server, if the session fails.
