  • Publication number: 20200401490
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for efficient power scheme for redundancy are described. A memory device may include circuitry that stores memory address information related to one or more defective or unreliable memory components and that compares memory address information to memory addresses targeted for memory access operations. The memory device may selectively distribute a targeted memory address to one or more circuits within the circuitry based on whether those circuits store memory address information. Additionally or alternatively, the memory device may selectively power one or more circuits within the circuitry based on whether those circuits store memory address information.

  • Publication number: 20200401813
    Abstract: In a method for performing adaptive content classification of a video content item, frames of a video content item are analyzed at a sampling rate for a type of content, wherein the sampling rate dictates a frequency at which frames of the video content item are analyzed. Responsive to identifying content within at least one frame indicative of the type of content, the sampling rate of the frames is increased. Responsive to not identifying content within at least one frame indicative of the type of content, the sampling rate of the frames is decreased. It is determined whether the video content item includes the type of content based on the analyzing the frames.

  • Publication number: 20200403866
    Abstract: A control device may be configured to form a network at a unique coordinated startup time. The control device may identify a role assigned to the control device in a previously-formed network that the control device was attached to. The control device may determine a unique coordinated startup time for the control device based on the role assigned to the control device in the previously-formed network. The control device may initiate a network formation procedure at the unique coordinated startup time for the device. For example, the network formation procedure may cause the control device to attach to another control device in the network. The network formation procedure is configured to enable the control device to assume the role assigned to the control device in the previously-formed network in the new network.

  • Publication number: 20200404084
    Abstract: A system for detecting a communications computer network node malfunction by analysis of network traffic output by the network node. Low latency packet capture nodes copy network traffic and transmit it to an analytics engine, which may use machine learning techniques, including long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks, to determine a likelihood that the output of one data router in a network is suffering from a software malfunction, hardware malfunction, or network connectivity issue, and preserve overall data quality in the network by causing cessation of traffic by the malfunctioning node of the network.
