Abstract: Systems and methods for updating a data catalog in real-time with changes to metadata are disclosed. An example method may be performed by one or more processors of a system and include detecting changes to metadata in a metadata store, generating an event queue indicating a plurality of change events associated with system objects based on the changes, each of the plurality of change events indicating a number of event attributes and a system object associated with the change event, identifying recent events among the plurality of change events, identifying relevant events among the recent events, extracting unique identifiers from the relevant events, identifying priority objects among the system objects, obtaining, from the metadata store, current metadata for each of the priority objects, and updating information associated with the priority objects in a data catalog, the updating occurring in real-time with the changes to the metadata in the metadata store.

Abstract: An approach for managing workload deployment in a distributed network, including edge computing is provided. The approach includes deploying several modules, such as, EMM (energy management module), LDM (localized deployment manager) and EDM (edge deployment manager). These modules will be constantly monitoring and managing the energy consumption at the edge nodes under their purview and communicate with other modules to develop a holistic energy management system (e.g., energy policies, energy algorithms, energy plans, etc.) to ensure the most effective energy management of workload is implemented.

Abstract: A floorplan modelling method and system. The floorplan modelling method includes receiving 2D images of each corner of an interior space from a camera, generating a corresponding camera position and camera orientation in a 3D coordinate system in the interior space for each 2D image, generating a depth map for each 2D image to estimate depth for each pixel, generating a corresponding edge map for each 2D image, and generating a 3D point cloud for each 2D image using the corresponding depth map and parameters of the camera. The floorplan modelling method includes transforming the 3D point clouds with the corresponding edge map into a 2D space in the 3D coordinate system of the camera, regularizing the 3D point clouds into 2D boundary lines, and generating a 2D plan of the interior space from the boundary lines.

Abstract: An extended reality system and extended reality method for digital twins, in which the digital twin can be a virtual asset of a real asset. The real asset can be a real object. For example, an initiation of an event in relation to the real asset causes the extended reality method to generate one or more predicted virtual states which are predicted to achieve the event in the virtual asset. The event can be initiated through the real asset and through the virtual asset. The extended reality method can receive one or more further real states of the real asset which achieve the event. The extended reality method can generate a reality 3D map in an extended reality application which concurrently displays, in the 3D space, the virtual asset in the one or more predicted virtual states and the real asset in the one or more further real states.

Abstract: A method and system for positioning, viewing, and sharing virtual content is provided. The method includes determining a geospatial position of the mobile device capable of determining its geospatial location. Once the geospatial position is determined content within range of the geospatial location of the mobile device is requested from a content store. A content thumbnail corresponding to the content from the content store is retrieved and then presented on the mobile device.

Abstract: An object and camera localization system and localization method for mapping of the real world. The mapping can be done in real-time or near real-time to the detection of the real objects by a camera device which is used to capture one or more images of an object. The localization method can be used to generate an object label of the object and a bounding box of the object in the image. The localization method can be used to generate anchor points in real world coordinates of the real 3D space of the object, a cuboid of the object, and a centroid of the cuboid. A virtual 3D map can be generated that which includes the location and pose of the real object in the real-world coordinates.

Abstract: A built-in self test (BIST) for an integrated circuit (IC) including a large logic section, a large dynamic random access memory (DRAM), and a smaller static RAM (SRAM). Additional logic circuitry is included within the IC to enable the IC to test the DRAM, that is, a built-in self test of the DRAM. The DRAM test program is stored in the SRAM by the VLSI tester, and portions of the existing logic circuitry may be used for the memory testing. The VLSI tester initiates the DRAM test and inspects the results of the test but does immediately participate in the DRAM testing. Thereby, a VLSI tester can test both the logic and DRAM portions of the IC, eliminating the need for separate memory test equipment.
