Abstract: System and method for providing fault tolerance in virtualized computer systems use a first guest and a second guest running on virtualization software to produce outputs, which are produced when a workload is executed on the first and second guests. An output of the second guest is compared with an output of the first guest to determine if there is an output match. If there is no output match, the first guest is paused and a resynchronization of the second guest is executed to restore a checkpointed state of the first guest on the second guest. After the resynchronization of the second guest, the paused first guest is caused to resume operation.

Abstract: Techniques are described for performing a read scan process on a non-volatile memory system in order to determine memory blocks that may have a high bit error rate, where if such blocks are found they can be refreshed. Rather than work through the blocks of a memory system sequentially based on the physical block addresses, the memory system maintains a measure of data quality, such as an estimated or average bit error rate, for multi-block groups. For example, the groups can correspond to regions of memory die in the system. The groups are ranked by their data quality, with the groups being scanned in order of the data quality. The blocks within a group can also be ranked, based on factors such as the program/erase count.

The base-station is configured to provide the at least one user-side-device with a satellite-connecting-signal concerning an uplink towards the satellite, the satellite-connecting-signal providing configuration information in order to establish and adjust the uplink to the satellite. The at least one user-side-device is configured to perform an adjustment of the timing-advance-value for a pre-compensation of at least one synchronization offset of an uplink in case the at least one user-side-device receives the satellite-connecting-signal, the satellite-connecting-signal including a granting-signal indicating the user-side-device the allowance to adjust the timing-advance-value.

Abstract: Certain embodiments disclosed herein reduce or eliminate a communication bottleneck at the storage manager by reducing communication with the storage manager while maintaining functionality of an information management system. In some implementations, a client queries a storage manager to obtain information for enabling a secondary storage job (e.g., a backup or restore) from the storage manager. The query response can be stored at a cache local to the client. The client may then access the query response from the cache for subsequent jobs or tasks without communicating with the storage manager reducing the frequency of communication with the storage manager.

Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. An example process includes initiating a virtual assistant session responsive to receiving user input. In accordance with initiating the virtual assistant session, the process includes determining, based on data obtained using one or more sensors of the electronic device, whether one or more criteria representing expressed user disinterest are satisfied. In accordance with determining that the one or more criteria representing expressed user disinterest are satisfied prior to a first time, the process includes automatically deactivating the virtual assistant session prior to the first time. The first time is defined by a setting of the electronic device. In accordance with determining that the one or more criteria representing expressed user disinterest are not satisfied prior to the first time, the process includes automatically deactivating the virtual assistant session at the first time.

Abstract: An integration platform provides a third party channel products from a merchant, so that the third party channel may cause an opportunity to be presented to a user to purchase one of the products. In response to an indication of a user purchase, the integration platform transmits a purchase request to the electronic commerce platform to create an order for the purchase. The integration platform may create a payment for the purchase with the merchant's payment processor and transmit the payment to the payment processor, update the order with the merchant's electronic commerce platform with the payment information, update the status of the order to shipped, and capture payment information by communicating with the payment provider. The merchant's electronic commerce platform may then update the order with the integration platform, which may notify the third party channel of the update so that update may be communicated to the user.

Abstract: A system and method enable exploration of cold ads in an online information system. Cold ads are ads that are new to the system and do not yet have reliable click through rate (CTR) estimates or click probabilities. The method and system selectively boost the click probabilities of cold ads to increase their likelihood of participating in and winning an auction so that the cold ad get more impressions, but without adversely affecting revenue in a production environment when cold ads are introduced.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for rerouting funds, associated with transactions between consumers and merchants, to direct-pay accounts associated with creditors that provide loan and/or credit arrangements to the merchants. One exemplary method generally includes identifying, by a computing device, funds directed to a primary payment account associated with a merchant during settlement of at least one transaction for which funds are directed to the merchant. The computing device then routes a first portion of the funds to a direct-pay account associated with a creditor of the merchant, whereby the first portion of the funds is delivered to the direct-pay account in service of a debt between the creditor and the merchant, without the first portion of the funds being appended to the primary account associated with the merchant. The computing device then also routes a second portion of the funds to the primary account associated with the merchant.

Abstract: A method of monitoring a patient with respect to a particular medical condition includes providing a machine learning model trained to assign a weight to each of a predefined set of features so as to calculate a risk severity index of a particular medical condition. A long time interval of time-synchronized parameter data is received for each of at least two physiological parameters, and the long time interval is divided into multiple segments each containing a predefined time increment of the parameter data. A set of feature values are determined for the segment based on the parameter data therein, including a feature value for each of the predefined set of features related to the particular medical condition. With the trained machine learning model, assigning a weight to each of the predefined set of features, and then a risk severity index of the particular medical condition is calculated for the long time interval based on the set of feature values.
