Abstract: A method and system provides for integrating multiple executable applications, including executing a non-browser application and executing a first application within the browser platform, the browser platform including a microservices layer. The method and system includes executing a bridge between the non-browser application and the first application. The method and system displays the first application in a browser window and encapsulates the non-browser application for display in a non-browser window. The method and system groups these two windows such that any adjustments to the browser window is reflected in the non-browser window, assimilating the non-browser application in a browser window. Using the bridge and microservices layer, hotkey commands are further propagated to the browser application.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for forming transistors employing a source/drain (S/D) cap layer for Ge-rich S/D regions to, e.g., help suppress contact metal piping. Contact metal piping occurs when metal material from the S/D contact region diffuses into the channel region, which can lead to a reduction of the effective gate length and can even cause device shorting/failure. The S/D cap layer includes silicon (Si) and/or carbon (C) to help suppress the continuous reaction of contact metal material with the Ge-rich S/D material (e.g., Ge or SiGe with at least 50% Ge concentration by atomic percentage), thereby reducing or preventing the diffusion of metal from the S/D contact region into the channel region as subsequent processing occurs. In addition, the Si and/or C-based S/D cap layer is more selective to contact trench etch than the doped Ge-rich material included in the S/D region, thereby increasing controllability during contact trench etch processing.

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to a data processing system for customizing content in a voice activated computer network environment.

Abstract: An online system ranks test cases run in connection with check-in of sets of software files in a software repository. The online system ranks the test cases higher if they are more likely to fail as a result of defects in the set of files being checked in. Accordingly, the online system informs software developers of potential defects in the files being checked in early without having to run the complete suite of test cases. The online system determines a vector representation of the files and test cases based on a neural network. The online system determines an aggregate vector representation of the set of files. The online system determines a measure of similarity between the test cases and the aggregate vector representation of the set of files. The online system ranks the test cases based on the measures of similarity of the test cases.

Abstract: In some examples, a computing device may receive a request for a video segment captured by a particular camera, where the request specifies a date, a start time, and a length of the video segment. The computing device may identify stored data associated with the video segment in a storage device based on the date, the start time, the length, and an identifier associated with the particular camera and retrieve the stored data from the storage device. The computing device may determine that the stored data includes a subset of the video frames that were sent from the particular camera and excludes a remainder of the video frames and regenerate the remainder of the video frames based on the stored data to create regenerated data. The computing device may reconstruct the reconstructed video segment by merging the stored data with the regenerated data and provide the reconstructed video segment.
