The workflow automation system improves the speed and efficiency of completing tasks relative to manual methods and other workflow automation tools.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a high-performance thermal chuck for enhanced thermal management of high-power integrated circuit (IC) devices. The disclosed high-performance thermal chuck provides active heating and cooling for post-manufacture device testing. A high-performance heatsink comprises microfluidic channels in a high thermal conductivity silicon carbide (SiC) body for providing enhanced active cooling of an IC device. A refractory heating element is embedded between an integrated heat spreader comprising diamond and the heatsink for providing active heating. The integrated heat spreader is bonded to the heatsink. Closely matched coefficients of thermal expansion between the diamond heat spreader and the heatsink mitigate thermally-induced warpage.

In one embodiment, a method of a server device includes authenticating a user of a client device, communicating a media content to the client device through a network, processing a pause request of the client device to pause the media content, storing a bookmark location indicating a current playback location of the media content in the client device on the server device, processing a play request of the user to play the media content from the bookmark location (e.g., the play request may be received from a different client device of the user), and communicating the media content from the bookmark location to the user.

Abstract: Techniques for identifying and correcting synchronization errors for a media file are described herein. A first file that includes a first set of words comprising lyrics of a media file may be maintained. One or more portions of the media file that represent vocal audio may be separated from other portions of the media file that represent instrumental audio by a computer system. A second file may be generated based at least in part on using an automated speech recognition on the separated one or more portions of the media file. The second file my include time stamps for a second set of words comprising the lyrics in the separated one or more portions of the media file. The first file may be modified with an offset time value that is determined by aligning the first set of words with the second set of words.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a mutable CRTM schema for ensuring the integrity of a client workload on a single system as updates are made to the firmware used to initialize and run that system by booting a computing system in a secure mode; when successfully validating a boot image for the computing system via a secure verification code that is blocked from write access when the system is booted in a unsecure mode, allowing write access to the secure verification code; and continuing to boot the computing system in the secure mode according to the boot image. When booting the system and unseccessfully validating the boot image at the third time, the system boot is failed.

Abstract: Techniques and architecture for routing data packets through networks that include TGWs. A data packet may be received from a TGW at an infra VPC. A TGW attachment on which the data packet was received is determined. Based at least in part on the TGW attachment, the data packet is routed to a CSR at the infra VPC. Load balancing may be achieved by defining VRF groups that include VPCs and the TGWs. Each VRF group may be assigned to an interface of one or more CSRs. Also, the VRF groups allow for supporting overlapping subnets.

Abstract: Techniques for maintaining isolation and segregation for network paths through multi-cloud fabrics using VRF technologies. The techniques include running virtual routers in a cloud network that connect the cloud network to an on-premises network using a network overlay that preserves VRF information in data packets. Further, the virtual routers connect to individual gateways in the cloud network using tunnels, and each individual gateway is connected to multiple VPCs without overlapping subnets. The virtual routers may assign a sink VRF to each gateway connection that can be used to perform source-IP based VRF selection by mapping source IP addresses in each tunnel connection to appropriate VRFs for the source IP addresses. In this way, virtual routers may use sink VRFs to translate into the VRF information for data packets from the VPCs via source-IP based lookup, and use the corresponding VRF route table to determine next hops for data packets.

Abstract: A dynamic graph includes a plurality of nodes and edges at a plurality of time steps; each node corresponds to a geographic location in a first area where pest infestation information is available for a subset of locations. Each edge connects two of the nodes which are geographically proximate, has a direction based on wind direction, and has a weight based on relative wind speed. Assign node features based on weather data as well as labels corresponding to pest infestation severity. Train a graph convolutional network on the dynamic graph. Based on predicted future weather conditions for a second area different than the first area, use the trained graph convolutional network to predict, via inductive learning, pest infestation severity for future times for a new set of nodes corresponding to new geographic locations in the second area for which no pest infestation information is available.
