  • Patent number: 11609894
    Abstract: Data storage system conflict management techniques are described. In one example, data is sent by client devices to both a repository system and a search index system of a data storage system. Each of the client devices maintains, locally, records of changes to data of the repository system, e.g., through use of an invertible Bloom lookup table. The records are used as a basis by the client devices to send reports to an arbiter system and used to detect conflicts When detected, a conflict request is communicated to client devices involved in the conflict as well as to the repository system and responses used to generate a correction that is communicated to update the repository system and search index system.

  • Patent number: 11609830
    Abstract: An improved method for investigating a functional behavior of a component of a technical installation includes comparing a signal of the component to be investigated and representing the functional behavior of the component with a reference signal which describes an average functional behavior of identical components. During the comparison, a comparison variable describing the deviation of the signal from the reference signal is determined. In addition, a probability of the occurrence of the comparison variable is determined by using a predefinable distribution of a multiplicity of such comparative variables. A computer program and a computer readable storage medium are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11610360
    Abstract: A real-time neural radiance caching technique for path-traced global illumination is implemented using a neural network for caching scattered radiance components of global illumination. The neural (network) radiance cache handles fully dynamic scenes, and makes no assumptions about the camera, lighting, geometry, and materials. In contrast with conventional caching, the data-driven approach sidesteps many difficulties of caching algorithms, such as locating, interpolating, and updating cache points. The neural radiance cache is trained via online learning during rendering. Advantages of the neural radiance cache are noise reduction and real-time performance. Importantly, the runtime overhead and memory footprint of the neural radiance cache are stable and independent of scene complexity.

  • Publication number: 20230084955
    Abstract: A communication function is provided. An activation request to enable a communication profile in a first user equipment is received at a mobile network operator (MNO). The communication profile is associated with a user. A maximum number of communication profiles associated with the user can be provided at the same time. A number of communication profiles which are associated with the user and which are currently enabled are determined by the MNO. In response to determining that the number of communication profiles which are associated with the user and which are currently enabled is equal to the maximum number of communication profiles are determined, a communication profile associated with the user in a second UE is disabled, and a communication profile associated with the user in the first UE is enabled.

  • Publication number: 20230052645
    Abstract: Neural network performance is improved in terms of training speed and/or accuracy by encoding (mapping) inputs to the neural network into a higher dimensional space via a hash function. The input comprises coordinates used to identify a point within a d-dimensional space (e.g., 3D space). The point is quantized and a set of vertex coordinates corresponding to the point are input to a hash function. For example, for d=3, space may be partitioned into axis-aligned voxels of identical size and vertex coordinates of a voxel containing the point are input to the hash function to produce a set of encoded coordinates. The set of encoded coordinates is used to lookup D-dimensional feature vectors in a table of size T that have been learned. The learned feature vectors are filtered (e.g., linearly interpolated, etc.) based on the coordinates of the point to compute a feature vector corresponding to the point.

  • Patent number: 11556531
    Abstract: Crux detection in search definition sets is provided herein. Crux detection can include generating a hierarchical representation of a search definition set. The hierarchical representation can be reduced by removing search definitions unrelated to a target search definition. The search definitions in the reduced hierarchical representation can be focused by removing inapplicable elements or operations in the search definitions. Focusing the search definitions in the reduced hierarchical representation can include removing context-irrelevant elements and/or removing search-definition-irrelevant elements. The focused reduced hierarchical representation can be analyzed to identify implementation cruxes in the search definitions. Cruxes can include performance-impacting elements of the search definitions. The cruxes can be tagged and provided for redevelopment or analysis.

  • Publication number: 20220379985
    Abstract: A frame lock for a two-wheeler comprises a lock body, which comprises a latch and a rotary hoop arrangement having a rotary hoop and a strip. The rotary hoop extends along a circular path, has a blocking structure comprising an abutment section, and is adjustable relative to the lock body along the circular path between an open position, in which the rotary hoop releases a wheel of the two-wheeler for a rotation, and a closed position in which the rotary hoop blocks the wheel against rotation. The latch is adjustable between an unlocked position and a locked position and, when the rotary hoop is in its closed position and the latch is in its locked position, the latch engages behind the abutment section, whereby it blocks the rotary hoop against an adjustment into the open position.
