Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to interrupt handling. In accordance with one aspect, disclosed includes a first processing engine; a second processing engine; and a timeout monitoring block coupled to the first processing engine and the second processing engine, wherein the timeout monitoring block is configured to reaffinitize an interrupt affined to the first processing engine to the second processing engine. Also disclosed for interrupt handling includes placing a first interrupt into a pending state; initiating a handling of a second interrupt; initiating a programmed timeout value; triggering a timeout state of the first interrupt when an interrupt timer reaches the programmed timeout value; and entering a reaffinitization state of the first interrupt after the timeout state is triggered.

Abstract: A network device may identify a link aggregation group (LAG) of a plurality of links between the network device and another network device. The network device may identify link aggregation control protocol (LACP) parameters that were communicated by the network device and the other network device in association with the LAG. The network device may determine, based on the LACP parameters, a priority order of the plurality of links in the LAG. The network device may communicate with the other network device, and based on the priority order of the plurality of links of the LAG, one or more precision time protocol (PTP) messages via the LAG. For example, the network device may determine that a first link and a second link in the priority order are not available, and therefore may communicate the one or more PTP messages via a third link in the priority order.

Abstract: A method of execution unit (EU) sharing between processor cores is described. The method includes encountering a structural hazard associated with an issued instruction in an instruction queue of a dispatch stage inside an active processor core. The method also includes issuing a request for an idle execution unit of an inactive processor core. The method further includes sending a transaction containing source operands of the issued instruction, and a word address of a result buffer as a destination operand to an allocated EU of the inactive processor core. The method also includes replacing the issued instruction in the instruction queue with a load operation to forward a result of the issued instruction from the result buffer based on the word address.

Abstract: An anchoring for heart valve prostheses includes a stent framework, for attaching heart valve leaflets to an inner side, and compartmentalization clips, connected with the stent framework at a first end region and having a free second end region. The anchoring exhibits a primary form and reversibly transformable into a delivery form for the minimally invasive introduction into the body of the patient by elastic deformation and/or compression of certain regions or elements. The compartmentalization clips are arcuately shaped between the first and second end regions in the primary form and are elastically foldable such that the compartmentalization clips extend in a flat manner between the first and second end regions in the delivery form. The anchoring has a separation structure connected with the stent framework and the compartmentalization clips to separate the areas of the native leaflets to be treated from the bloodstream when the anchoring implanted.

Abstract: Aspects and embodiments herein pertain to global ML prediction applied in a data security context. In some examples, a global prediction pertaining to a data item as a whole (the ‘original’ data item) is generated using an ML predictor. A data element is masked by removing it from the data item, or obscuring it in some way (e.g., through modification or replacement). The same ML predictor is applied to the perturbed data item. A change in global confidence between the original data item and the perturbed data item denotes local significance of the individual data item (or subset of data items) that have been masked. Other significance indicators (such as start and end markers of significant sections) are also considered. Other methods of estimating local significance are considered. In some examples, one or more such methods are used to generate training data for training a self-interpretation ML model.

Abstract: An online concierge system may determine recommended search terms for a user. The online concierge system may receive a request from a user to view a user interface configured to receive a search query. The online concierge system retrieves long-term activity data including previous search terms entered by the user while searching for items to add to an online shopping cart. For each previous search term, the online concierge system retrieves categorical search terms corresponding to one or more categories to which the previous search term was mapped. The online concierge system determines a set of nearby categorical search terms and sends, for display via a client device, the set of nearby categorical search terms as recommended search terms.

Abstract: An online concierge system includes sponsored content items in an interface including different slots for displaying content items. A sponsored content item may be displayed in a single slot or in multiple adjacent slots. The online concierge system determines a content score for various sponsored content items indicating a likelihood of a user interacting with a sponsored content item and a position bias for slots in the interface indicating a likelihood of the user interacting with a slot independent of content in the slot. Position biases are different dependent on a number of slots in which a content item is displayed. The online concierge system generates a graph identifying potential placements of sponsored content items in slots by selecting content items in an order according to their content scores. Sponsored content items are positioned in slots according to a path through the graph that has the highest overall expected value.

Abstract: Systems and methods for optical power distribution within an integrated device, in a substantially uniform manner, to a large number of sample wells and/or other photonic elements. The integrated device and related instruments and systems may be used to analyze samples in parallel. The integrated device may include a grating coupler configured to receive light from an excitation source and optically couple with multiple waveguides configured to couple with sample wells. Vertical extents of optical modes of individual waveguides may be modulated to adjust confinement of light within the waveguides. This modulation may enable more uniform distribution of excitation light to the sample wells, improve excitation efficiency, and prevent overpower on regions of the integrated device.

Abstract: Distortion correction from a distorted source image to a distortion corrected target image includes dividing the target image into a plurality of target tiles. The source image is divided into source tiles. Each source tile corresponds to a target tile according to a first mapping. The source tiles are processed to produce a source tile index until all the source tiles in the source image have been assigned a source tile index value in an ascending order. At least one y coordinate value of a first target tile is higher than a y coordinate value of a second target tile, wherein the first target tile corresponds to a source tile that appears earlier in the ascending order of the source tile index than a corresponding source tile of the second target tile. Distortion correction of the source image is performed by mapping each source tile to its corresponding target tile.
