Abstract: Disclosed is an improved approach to implement caching. An adaptive and performance aware caching framework is provided that complements the existing state-of-the-art caching algorithms. Instead of using fixed-sized cache unit sizes, the approach adaptively switches to a cache unit size that incurs the lowest performance penalty, thereby yielding faster I/O and improved system performance.

Abstract: A method for standardizing a decommissioning definition of power batteries, including: obtaining power battery capacity data and SOH data; obtaining capacity degradation gradient by subtracting battery capacity of current charge-discharge cycle by battery capacity of previous charge-discharge cycle, and obtaining index of decommissioning (IoD) of power battery by dividing capacity degradation gradient by a square of SOH of current charge-discharge cycle; and when IoD is less than a set threshold, dismantling, disassembling and separating the power battery; otherwise, continuing to use the power battery. An aging state of battery is evaluated comprehensively based on two indexes—the SOH and the capacity degradation gradient, so that a new IoD of the battery is proposed. Each cell can be comprehensively evaluated according to various real-time states of battery, thereby achieving individual decommissioning, which ensures safe use of battery and increases the utilization rate of battery.

Abstract: A cost-focused determination of whether to deliver an electronic advertisement or notice to a particular user can be made through a cumulative consideration of the predicted return on investment over each of a plurality of electronic channels. A plurality of channel-specific budget values are calculated for the user, one for each channel, each setting an upper spending limit for advertisement to the user over that channel based on the user's information and their activity on the channel. A global budget is calculated for the user using a weighted aggregation of the channel-specific values, information about the user and their activity with the advertiser, and consideration of “overlap” effects of advertising to the same user on several channels. When managing whether to deliver an advertisement over a channel, if the channel-specific value is lower than the global budget, the advertisement is delivered, and the global budget is decreased by a complementary amount.

Abstract: To monitor semiconductor manufacturing process variation, contours of identical pattern features are determined based on SEM images, and the contours are aggregated and statistically analyzed to determine the variation of the feature. Some of the contours are outliers, and the aggregation and averaging of the contours “hides” these outliers. The present disclosure describes filtering certain outlier contours before they are aggregated and statistically analyzed. The filtering can be performed at multiple levels, such as based on individual points on the contours in the set of inspection contours, or based on overall geometrical shapes of the contours in the set of inspection contours.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a control circuit configured to selectively activate, based on an operating mode signal, either a local clock signal or a pulse signal. The apparatus further includes a data storage circuit that is coupled to a data signal, the local clock signal, and the pulse signal. The data storage circuit may be configured to sample the data signal using the local clock signal during a first operating mode, and to sample the data signal using the pulse signal during a second operating mode.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a computer stores source files and source clone files in a source filesystem. The source clone files are shallow copies of the source files, which initially share the same data blocks as the source files. A source file or a source clone file may eventually be modified, where some of the shared blocks are replaced by modified blocks. In a first phase, all data blocks of all source files that are not clones are replicated to a standby filesystem. A second phase compares each clone file on the source filesystem with its base file to detect a set of differed blocks. The second phase copies the differed blocks into the standby filesystem and, in the standby filesystem, applies the differed blocks to a corresponding clone file. Efficiency of keeping the standby filesystem synchronized with the source filesystem is improved by transferring, from the source filesystem to the standby filesystem, only one copy of only data blocks that are modified.
