Abstract: Methods and apparatus for storing parity bits in an available over provisioning (OP) space to recover data lost from an entire memory block. For example, a data storage device may receive data from a host device, write the data to a block, and generate a corresponding block parity. The device may then determine a bit error rate (BER) of the block and an average programming duration to write the data written to the block, calculate a probability of the block becoming defective based on the BER and the average programming duration, and comparing the probability of the block to a set of probabilities respectively corresponding to a set of worst-performing blocks in a NVM. Thereafter, the device may write the block parity to an available over provisioning (OP) space in the NVM responsive to the probability of the block being greater than any probability in the set of probabilities.

Abstract: A material data collection system allows capturing of material data. For example, the material data collection system may include digital image data for materials.

Abstract: Display systems for simultaneously directing different images to different viewers. A display system is constructed with a display panel with multiple folds that create a number of angled display surfaces. These angled surfaces are oriented so that some surfaces are angled in one direction to project one image to viewers at one location, and the remaining surfaces are angled in a different direction to project a different image to viewers at another location. The folded display panel may be actuated, to change the angles at which display surfaces are oriented, and thus adjust the directions in which images are displayed. In this manner, the display may project images to differing users as they change their locations. Multiple users may thus enjoy differing content at the same time, from the same display device.

Abstract: A method includes receiving audio data encoding an utterance spoken by a native speaker of a first language, and receiving a biasing term list including one or more terms in a second language different than the first language. The method also includes processing, using a speech recognition model, acoustic features derived from the audio data to generate speech recognition scores for both wordpieces and corresponding phoneme sequences in the first language. The method also includes rescoring the speech recognition scores for the phoneme sequences based on the one or more terms in the biasing term list, and executing, using the speech recognition scores for the wordpieces and the rescored speech recognition scores for the phoneme sequences, a decoding graph to generate a transcription for the utterance.

Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for performing dynamic spectrum allocation and state shifting in order to provide high quality stateful services to user equipment (“UE”) that access the stateful services from different network locations. The dynamic spectrum allocation and state shifting may include tracking mobility of a UE accessing a stateful service using a first allocation of spectrum from a first Radio Access Network (“RAN”), predicting continued stateful service access via a second RAN, determining latency requirements of the stateful service, selecting a second allocation of spectrum at the second RAN with a frequency range that provides a first amount of latency, transferring the stateful service state to a Multi-Access Edge Computing (“MEC”) location that provides a second amount of latency for services accessed via the second RAN such that the first and second amounts of latency satisfy the performance requirements of the stateful service.

Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for providing a workflow on a user device. A user device can receive image data from a camera of the user device. The device can perform object recognition to recognize an object from the image data, as well as classification of the object. The user device can match the object classification with a backend system. The example method can also include launching a workflow form associated with the matching backend system. The user device can launch a form having these fields available, either within the workflow application or within a dedicated application associated with the relevant backend system. The user device can pre-fill one or more information fields in the workflow form based on the object classification, providing the user with a head start on submitting the form to the appropriate system.

Alternatively, the resources may include frequencies outside of a spectrum used for communication between the cellular network and the cellular devices.

Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein describe obfuscating plaintext cryptographic material stored in memory. A random location in an obfuscation buffer may be selected for each byte of the plaintext cryptographic material. The location of each byte of the plaintext cryptographic material may be stored in a position tracking buffer. To recover the scrambled plaintext cryptographic material, the location of each byte of the plaintext cryptographic material may be read from the position tracking buffer. Each byte of the plaintext cryptographic material may then be read from the obfuscation buffer and written to a temporary buffer. When each byte of the plaintext cryptographic material is recovered, the plaintext cryptographic material may be used to perform one or more cryptographic operations. The scrambling techniques described herein reduce the likelihood of a malicious user recovering plaintext cryptographic material while stored in memory.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for viewing missed media content. A media content stream is received at a user device. A first timestamp is logged, in response to determining a first failure in the receiving of the content stream, indicating when the first failure in the receiving of the content stream to the user device occurred. A second timestamp is logged, in response to determining a first restoration of the receiving of the content stream, indicating when the first restoration in the receiving of the content stream to the user device occurred. A first recorded portion of the media content stream is retrieved. The first recorded portion has a start point corresponding to the first timestamp and an end point corresponding to the second timestamp.

Abstract: An online system allows users to exchange messages with other users, including entities such as businesses. A user, such as a business, may use a third party system to manage messages with users of the online system. The online system provides the third party information with instructions comprising tracking mechanisms that identify specific actions between users from messages exchanged between users. For example, if a user purchases a product from another user via a message thread, a tracking mechanism identifies the purchase and transmits information reporting the purchase and identifying users to the online system. Hence, the tracking mechanism transmits a description of an action and information identifying the users to the online system, and may also transmit additional information, such as a value of the action to a user. The online system may use the descriptions of actions for content targeting or measurement and reporting of actions.
