Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to enable delivering a contextually relevant action for an underlying focal point of a communication (an “entity”) between users over computing devices. Delivery of a contextually relevant action entails identifying the entity and associated descriptors or amplifying words in the communication surrounding the entity, reviewing databases of actions taken with respect to the identified entity and associated descriptors, reviewing the functions and features of platforms and applications supported on users' computing devices, computing correlations between the actions taken and entity involved and computing devices' available functions and features, and selecting a contextually relevant action from the computed correlation. The selected contextually relevant action is displayed simply as an executable action for a user to take or as a description of the entity or as a series of possible executable actions to take.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for determining sensor placement and topology. In some embodiments, a system can receive messages from sensors deployed around a network, each of the messages reporting a respective flow captured by a reporting sensor from the sensors. Next, the system can identify flows reported in the messages and, for each of the flows, generate a respective list of sensors that reported that flow. Based on the respective list of sensors, the system can infer a respective placement of the sensors within the network and a topology of the sensors. For example, the system can determine that a first sensor is deployed in a virtual machine, a second sensor is deployed in a hypervisor hosting the virtual machine, and a third sensor is deployed in a network device configured to route traffic associated with the hypervisor.

Abstract: In a non-volatile memories formed according to a NAND type of architecture, one or more of the end word lines on the source end, drain end, or both are set aside as dummy word lines that are not used to store user data. In addition to the host data, a memory system typically also stores metadata, or information about the user data, how it is stored and the memory system itself. Techniques are presented for using the dummy word lines of the memory blocks to hold this metadata. This arrangement allows for the metadata of a memory block to be known in real time, without reducing the storage capacity of the memory system.

Abstract: Processor hardware detects when memory aliasing occurs, and assures proper operation of the code even in the presence of memory aliasing. The processor defines a special store instruction that is different from a regular store instruction. The special store instruction is used in regions of the computer program where memory aliasing may occur. Because the hardware can detect and correct for memory aliasing, this allows a compiler to make optimizations such as register promotion even in regions of the code where memory aliasing may occur.

Abstract: The invention describes a method for identifying T-cell activating neo-epitopes from all genetically altered proteins. The mutated proteins contribute to neo-epitopes after they are proteolytically degraded within antigen presenting cells, such as dendritic cells and macrophages.

Abstract: Processor hardware detects when memory aliasing occurs, and assures proper operation of the code even in the presence of memory aliasing. Because the hardware can detect and correct for memory aliasing, this allows a compiler to make optimizations such as register promotion even in regions of the code where memory aliasing can occur. The result is code that is more optimized and therefore runs faster.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a processor accesses a metrics dataset, which includes metrics whose values indicate data network activity. The metrics dataset has segments. Each segment is a respective subset of the data items having a common feature. The processor identifies anomalous segments in the metrics dataset. Each anomalous segment has a segment trend that is different from a trend associated with the larger metrics dataset. The processor generates a data graph that includes nodes, which represent anomalous segments, and edges connecting the nodes. The processor applies weights to the edges. Each weight indicates (i) a similarity between a pair of anomalous segments represented by the nodes connected by the weighted edge and (ii) a relationship between the anomalous segments and the metrics dataset. The processor ranks the anomalous segments based on the applied weights and selects one or more segments with sufficiently high ranks.
