Abstract: Aspects relate to rejecting a cache access packet using a mapping table. A cache has slices. An interconnect controller is coupled to the cache and coupled to a plurality of masters and configured to receive a cache access packet from a master. The cache access packet includes a first master identifier to identify the master, a first sub-cache index identifier to identify a slice of the cache, and an operation to be performed on the cache. A mapping table has master identifiers associated with sub-cache index identifiers and compare logic compares the first master identifier and the first sub-cache index identifier to the mapping table. The interconnect controller rejects the cache access packet in response to the first master identifier not being associated with the first sub-cache index identifier in the mapping table.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for on-device video query and search using an artificial neural network (ANN) includes receiving by the ANN, a video and a search query. The video includes a sequence of frames and associated subtitle information. First representations for a first set of words in the search query and second representations for a second set of words in the subtitle information are generated, at the mobile device by the ANN. A correlation between the search query and the subtitle information is determined at the mobile device by the ANN based on the first representations and the second representations. The ANN, at the mobile device. predicts a portion of the video including content responsive to the search query based on the correlation.

The medical device may also include an insertion portion coupled to the distal portion of the handle and configured to be positioned within a body lumen; and an articulation wire extending from the handle through the insertion portion. Pivoting of the proximal portion of the handle relative to the distal portion of the handle may move the articulation wire relative to the insertion portion to bend a distal portion of the insertion portion.

Abstract: A clipping system includes an adapter configured to be mounted over an insertion device and a clip including first and second jaws movable between an insertion configuration and an initial deployed configuration. A first extending member is releasably coupled to the clip and movably connected to the adapter to permit a movement of the clip relative to the adapter from the insertion configuration to the initial deployed configuration. The first extending member is configured to permit withdrawal of the adapter away from the clip to place the system in a review configuration to enhance a visual observation of the clip. The first extending member is operable to retract the clip over the adapter so that the clip is forced open, freeing the clip from tissue on which it has been clipped. The first extending member is configured to release the clip therefrom in a final deployed configuration.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for improved performance in a fragmented memory system are described. The memory system may detect conditions associated with a random access parameter stored at the memory system to assess a level of data fragmentation. The memory system may determine that a random access parameter, such as a data fragmentation parameter, a size of information associated with an access command, a depth of a command queue, a delay duration, or a quantity of commands satisfies a threshold. If one or more of the random access parameters satisfies the threshold, the memory system may transmit a request for the host system to increase an associated clock frequency. The host system may increase the number of commands sent to the memory system in a duration of time. That is, the host system may compensate for a slow-down due to data storage fragmentation by increasing the command processing rate.

Abstract: A system or a method for fulfilling orders using a machine-learned model in an online system. When a user places an order, the system accesses a model trained on historical data, including characteristics of candidate locations, previous orders, and recent inventory records. The model predicts the probability that each candidate location will incompletely fulfill the order. The system selects the location with the lowest probability of incomplete fulfillment and sends fulfillment instructions to client devices of available shoppers. After the order is fulfilled, the system receives data from the client devices of shoppers, identifies whether the order was completely fulfilled, and updates the machine-learned model based on the actual outcomes.

Abstract: Techniques for selecting a wireless connection based on network metrics are discussed herein. For example, user equipment (UE) can be connected to a Wi-Fi network. The UE may test the Wi-Fi connection to determine metrics associated with the Wi-fi connection. The UE may compare the metrics to a speed and/or bandwidth threshold. If the Wi-fi connection speed is below a threshold, the UE may determine metrics associated with a cellular connection to determine whether to switch to a different cellular connection. If a first metric of the candidate cellular connection is above a threshold (e.g., a power level threshold), the UE can determine a speed or bandwidth of the connection. If the speed or bandwidth is above a threshold, the UE can attach to the cellular connection and can send and/or receive data using the newly established connection.

The disc may include an opening that slidingly receives a lock spindle along a lock axis configured to engage a lock body. The lock spindle and the spindle opening may have complementary shapes and sizes such that the lock spindle is rotationally coupled to the disc about the center axis. Torque may be transmitted from a handle to the disc and from the disc to the lock spindle via the opening.

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: Machine learning techniques are leveraged to provide personalized assistance on a computing device. In some configurations a timeline of a user's interactions with the computing device is generated. For example, screenshots and audio streams may be saved as entries in the timeline. Context—the state of the computing device when the entry is created, such as which documents and websites are open—is also stored. Entries in the timeline are processed by a model to generate embedding vectors. The timeline may be searched by finding the embedding vector that is closest to an embedding vector derived from a search query. The user may select a query result, causing the associated context to be restored. For example, if the query is “show me all documents related to my upcoming trip to Japan”, the query result may open documents and websites that were open when booking a flight to Japan.

Abstract: A clipping system includes an adapter mounted on an insertion device and a clip including first and second jaws connected via hinges so that the first and second jaws are movable between an insertion configuration and an initial deployed configuration. A deployment member is configured to move the clip distally over and off of the adapter so that, as the clip leaves the adapter, the clip moves from the insertion configuration to the initial deployed configuration. An extending member is releasably coupled to the clip and movably connected to the adapter, and is configured to permit the withdrawal of the adapter away from the clip while the extending member remains coupled to the clip to place the system in a review configuration. The extending member is operable to retract the clip over the adapter, freeing the clip from tissue on which it had been clipped.

Abstract: Based on logged information about prior events, an online concierge system generates a set of location metrics that quantify properties of locations such as retailers at which items may be acquired, and residences to which the items are brought. The location metrics can be used for a variety of purposes to aid customers or other users of the online concierge system, such as providing the users with more information (e.g., likely delivery delays) or alternative options (e.g., pricing options), or emphasizing options that the location metrics indicate would be of particular value to the user. To determine whether to emphasize a particular option, the online concierge system applies a machine-learned model that predicts whether emphasizing that option would effect a positive change in user behavior, relative to not emphasizing it.

Abstract: An online system provides a platform for users to place orders at different physical retailers. When a user moves from one location to another (e.g., the user physically moves or is traveling), where the user's preferred retailer is not available, the online system suggests a new retailer for the user and optionally items to purchase at the new retailer. When a user accesses the online system from a new location, the system obtains the user's previous purchases and computes a repurchase probability. The system then ranks candidate new retailers in the new location based on their match to the likely repurchased items. To suggest new items to buy at the new retailer, the system uses existing replacement models to suggest replacements for the items that the user is likely to buy based on previous purchases.

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: A device includes a cap, a patch deployment mechanism, and a therapeutic patch. The cap includes a wall defining a chamber with an open distal end. The mechanism is slidably received within the chamber in an insertion configuration and includes proximal and distal members coupled by bowing members. The bowing members expand radially outward relative to the insertion configuration when longitudinally compressed via movement of the distal member toward the proximal member. The patch is wrapped around the mechanism and is forced radially outward into contact with and adhere to a target portion of tissue when the mechanism is longitudinally compressed and the bowing members are radially expanded. The mechanism is to radially retracted after the patch has been adhered to the portion, from a deployed configuration to the insertion configuration to separate the patch from the mechanism leaving the patch in a desired position adhered to the portion.
