Abstract: In some examples, a database system receives a database query. The database system computes a threshold based on sizes of objects, and invokes a distribution process that accounts for data skew to distribute the objects of the object store to processing engines. The distribution process includes determining whether an assignment of a first object to a given processing engine causes a load of the given processing engine to exceed the threshold. In response to a determination that the load of the given processing engine exceeds the threshold, the distribution process divides the first object into object parts and distribute the object parts among one or more processing engines. In response to a determination that the load of the given processing engine does not exceed the threshold, the distribution process assigns the first object to the given processing engine.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to automatically curating a set of images according to a predetermined set of compliance rules and displaying those images. The machine learning and artificial intelligence technology can differentiate between images and identify features within images. The features may include a desired perspective, inconsistent backgrounds, low detail, blurriness, shadows, glare, reflections, unwanted information, unwanted elements, poles, trees, lack or focus, poor resolution, rain, snow, fumes, smoke, mud, unwanted banners, unwanted overlays, etc. The technology is trained to identify these features in the images and automatically tag the images with information relating to the features. A user selects a set of predetermined rules to be applied to the images. The technology then uses the tags to apply these selected rules to the images to modify the images and display the modified images in a predetermined sequence and arrangement.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for a recovery process with selective ordering and concurrent operations in order to recover from a failure. Representations of active log structures are rebuilt within memory according to ordering values assigned to I/O operations logged within the active log structures. Representation of certain active log structures may be concurrently rebuilt based upon the active log structures comprising I/O operations that are non-overlapping within a distributed file system, have no dependencies, relate to different services, and/or target independent files. Representation of stale log structures are concurrently rebuilt within memory. While rebuilding the log structures and executing the I/O operations, a key value map is concurrently rebuilt within the memory for locating data of the I/O operations. Concurrent operations during the recovery process reduces the time to complete the recovery process, and thus reduces client downtime during the recovery process.

Abstract: A compressed fluid source assembly may comprise: a pressure cylinder configured to receive a compressed fluid source therein; and a surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor coupled to an external surface of the pressure cylinder.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to generate audio signals. In at least one embodiment, features are identified in input audio signals using one or more neural networks which generate an output audio signal based on the identified features.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for implementing a persistent key-value store for caching client data, journaling, and/or crash recovery. The persistent key-value store may be hosted as a primary cache that provides read and write access to key-value record pairs stored within the persistent key-value store. The key-value record pairs are stored within multiple chains in the persistent key-value store. Journaling is provided for the persistent key-value store such that incoming key-value record pairs are stored within active chains, and data within frozen chains is written in a distributed manner across distributed storage of a distributed cluster of nodes. If there is a failure within the distributed cluster of nodes, then the persistent key-value store may be reconstructed and used for crash recovery.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for controlling user equipment (UE) functionality associated with a mobility state. A UE may receive one or more mobility-based cell selection factors from a network. At least one mobility-based cell selection factor may indicate a preference for selecting a relatively lower-mobility cell. In some cell reselection examples, if a UE determines that multiple neighbor cells satisfy one or more cell reselection criteria, the UE may select the cell corresponding to the lowest mobility state. According to some call initiation examples in which a UE is configured for wireless communication via multiple subscriber services, the UE may select the subscriber service corresponding to the lower (or lowest) mobility state. According to some radio link failure (RLF) recovery examples in which there are multiple cells suitable for re-establishment, a UE may be configured to select a cell corresponding to the lowest mobility state.

Abstract: A method to keep selected messages in a networked conversation thread includes receiving, from a first participant in a networked conversation, a selection of a first message to keep from a sequence of messages in the networked conversation. The method includes verifying that the networked conversation is slated for deletion at a selected time after the selection of the first message, storing the first message in a folder accessible to multiple participants in the networked conversation, and notifying a second participant authoring the first message that the first message has been stored in the folder and is accessible to the participants in the networked conversation.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to automatically generating a 360 Virtual Photographic Representation (“spin”) of an object using multiple images of the object. The system uses machine learning to automatically differentiate between images of the object taken from different angles. A user supplies multiple images and/or videos of an object and the system automatically analyzes and classifies the images into the proper order before incorporating the images into an interactive spin. The system automatically classifies the images using features identified in the images. The classifications are based on predetermined classifications associated with the object to facilitate proper ordering of the images in the resulting spin.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to automatically receiving, modifying, sequencing, and displaying vehicle images for marketing to prospective buyers. A seller uploads images of a vehicle to the system, which system uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to classify the images, identify objects within the images, add backgrounds, banners, and hotspots, and generate metadata associating the results of the foregoing processes with the particular images. The system uses the stored metadata to sequence the images in a format predetermined by the seller and upload the sequenced images for display to a prospective buyer.

Abstract: Systems and methods are for improving latency and throughput for metadata-heavy workloads and/or workloads including metadata bursts by decoupling data journal records and metadata-only journal records are provided. According to one embodiment, expedited and independent space reclamation is facilitated by differentiating between various types of journal records chains of which should be retained until different conditions are met. For example, data journal records may be added to data journal record chains within a persistent KV store and metadata-only journal records may be added to metadata-only journal record chains within the persistent KV store. Reclamation of spaced utilized by a data journal record chain may be reclaimed after both remote node data flush has been completed and the completion of a local CP for all records in the chain, whereas records of a metadata-only journal chain may be freed independently upon completion of a local CP for all records.
