Abstract: Architecture that includes a batch framework engine incorporated into the server and that supports a rich set of dependencies between tasks in a single batch job. A bottom-up approach is employed where analysis is performed if a task can run based on the parent tasks. The framework runs batch jobs without the need of a client, and provides the ability to create dependencies between tasks, which allow the execution of tasks in parallel or in sequence. Using an AND/OR relationship engine, a task can require that all parent tasks (logical AND) meet requirements to run, or that only one parent (logical OR) is required to meet its requirements in order to run. Clean-up or non-important tasks can have the a flag set where even if such tasks fail when executing, the batch job will ignore these tasks when defining the final status of the job.

Abstract: A distributed, high availability scalable task execution framework that does not use a master. Each server periodically checks if there are new jobs that are scheduled to execute immediately and picks a task for execution. Multiple batch server configurations can be created and executed during a specific time period where each server can behave differently to provide improved response time to online users. Each server can be configured to execute a different number of parallel tasks during a time period, execute fewer tasks or no batch task at all, and then change server behavior to execute many tasks in parallel at a different time when there are no online users. Automatic transaction assists in task restart in the case of infrastructure failures. If infrastructure failure happens before the task completes, the transaction will be rolled back by the database automatically.

Abstract: Control circuitry is coupled between an error event output and a data input of a pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS) checker. The control circuitry is configured to switch between a first operating state in which a received PRBS signal is applied to the data input of the PRBS checker and a second operating state in which an error signal is applied to the data input of the PRBS checker, responsive to detection of a designated condition of the PRBS checker. In an illustrative embodiment, the designated condition is an end-of-test condition indicating that the PRBS checker has completed a test involving the received PRBS signal.

Abstract: Video editing methods and systems, including methods and systems to identify video clips having similar visual characteristics. Video clips may correspond to first and second videos, which may include a professional music video and a personal video, respectively. Identified video clips of the personal video may be combined into a new video clip, and music corresponding to visually similar video clips of the music video may be associated with the corresponding video clips of the new video. Video frames of the video clips may be characterized with respect to one or more visual features, which may include one or more of facial and/or body features, salient objects, camera motion, and image quality. Characterizations may be compared between video clips on an incremental basis. Characterization of a music video may implicitly model an underlying correlation between music rhythm and changes in visual appearance.

Abstract: This application discloses provides a process for the introduction of nitro-group functionality into a compound which contains also a site of unsaturation and/or oxygen functionality by direct (one step) oxidation of an oxime functional group mediated by a molybdenum VI/VII peroxo complex, the process comprising: (a) providing a substrate of Formula I containing an oxime functional group; wherein R1 and R2 are selected independently from linear, branched or cyclic alkyl and linear, branched or cyclic alkenyl groups, optionally substituted, with the proviso that at least one of R1 or R2 contains a carbon/carbon double bond; and (b) contacting said substrate of Formula I with a molybdenum oxidation complex, thereby oxidizing said oxime functional group to a nitro functional group to yield the structure of Formula III. Where R1 and R2 are as defined above.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for cloning a donor DNA molecule into an acceptor vector at a predetermined location are described. The methods are based on homologous recombination mediated by in vitro treatment of the donor DNA and the acceptor vector with an enzyme cocktail containing an exonuclease and a single-stranded DNA binding protein.

Abstract: A mass flowmeter is provided which operates on the Coriolis principle, having (1) at least four measurement tubes which can oscillate and through which a medium can flow, (2) at least one oscillation generator for excitation of the oscillations of the measurement tube, and (3) at least one oscillation sensor for detection of the excited oscillations of the measurement tubes. The measurement tubes are preferably arranged closely in parallel such that the flow cross section covered by the measurement tubes covers as small an area as possible. The use of four or more compactly arranged measurement tubes advantageously allows for the measurement of a high mass flow rate with measurement tubes having a relatively small cross section and length, resulting in a mass flowmeter having compact length and width dimensions, and which requires only a relatively low energy oscillation generator for excitation of the oscillations of the measurement tubes.
