  • Publication number: 20230409860
    Abstract: An electronic card capable of light-emitting display includes a card body, electrical control module, light-emitting module and light-guiding module. The card body has a light-penetrable border portion having a surface on which an oblique refraction portion is disposed. The electrical control module is disposed in the card body and includes a circuit control carrier plate and a non-contact type radio-frequency antenna or a contact type communication chip. The light-emitting module is disposed in the card body and electrically connected to the circuit control carrier plate. The light-guiding module is disposed in the card body and corresponds in position to the light-emitting module. During personal data or transaction data exchange carried out with the card body, light emitted from the light-emitting module driven by the electrical control module is guided by the light-guiding module to the light-penetrable border portion, allowing the oblique refraction portion to increase display light brightness.

  • Publication number: 20230409458
    Abstract: Techniques for aggregating execution metrics during virtualization are provided. In some embodiments, aggregated execution metrics (e.g., average execution time) are generated and stored for different types of supported virtualization service operations executed by a virtualization service provider (VSP) in a virtualization stack handling requests from a virtualization service client (VSC) running in a computer system emulator. For example, execution calls to the VSP are intercepted, and execution metrics for a triggered virtualization service operation are generated and aggregated into an aggregation entry that represents aggregated performance (e.g., average execution time) of all instances of the virtualization service operation that were completed during an interval (e.g., 1 hour). Aggregated execution metrics may be stored for any number of historical intervals.

  • Publication number: 20230412794
    Abstract: In some examples, an apparatus for video decoding includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry determines, from a candidate list, a first affine-translational merge candidate for a prediction of a current block in a current picture. The first affine-translational merge candidate provides affine motion information associated with a first reference picture in a first reference list and translational motion information associated with a second reference picture in a second reference list. The processing circuitry generates a first prediction for a sample in the current block according to the affine motion information associated with the first reference picture, and generates a second prediction for the sample in the current block according to the translational motion information associated with the second reference picture. The processing circuitry reconstructs the sample of the current block according to a combination of the first prediction and the second prediction.

  • Publication number: 20230409767
    Abstract: Disclosed is design optimization method of the structure considering centrifugal loads and stress constraints. Compared with the prior art, this application improves the method for obtaining the relaxation coefficient c, including the calculation of the second predicted maximum stress based on the predicted stress method from steps S9.1 to S9.8. The influence of the existence of jagged boundaries and gray densities on the calculation of the structural stress field is reduced. The most important thing is to decide whether to use linear penalty or nonlinear penalty for the elastic modulus of each element according to the ratio of the number of elements with design variables less than 0.1 and greater than 0.9 to the total number of elements. Introducing the predicted maximum stress can make full use of the allowable stress of materials, improve the quality of optimization design, and obtain a design scheme with a lighter mass.

  • Publication number: 20230409369
    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for an efficient exportation of metrics data within a software defined network (SDN) architecture. A network controller for a software-defined networking (SDN) architecture system comprising processing circuitry may implement the techniques. A telemetry node configured for execution by the processing circuitry may process a request by which to enable a metric group that defines a subset of metrics from a plurality of metrics to export from compute nodes. The telemetry node may also transform, based on the request to enable the metric group, the subset of the one or more metrics into telemetry exporter configuration data that configures a telemetry exporter deployed at the compute nodes to export the subset of the metrics. The telemetry node may also interface with the telemetry exporter to configure, based on the telemetry exporter configuration data, the telemetry exporter to export the subset of the metrics.

  • Publication number: 20230412598
    Abstract: An authentication system facilitates efficient generation of authentication integrations with third-party identity providers for client systems. The authentication system provides one or more interfaces configured to receive requests to make authentication integrations available for a third-party identity provider. The requests to make authentication integrations available include integration information for the relevant identity provider. Based on the request to make authentication integrations available, the authentication system generates an identity provider profile for the identity provider that can be used to generate authentication integrations with the identity provider for one or more client systems. Once the identity provider profile is generated, the authentication system uses the identity provider profile to generate authentication integrations for one or more client systems that request authentication through the third-party identity provider.
