Abstract: An electronic resource tracking and storage computer system communicates with computing systems operated by different participants. Computing systems store copies of a blockchain and have associated computing devices with sensors. A programmed rule set includes conditions to be met when cooperating to complete, in connection with a resource tracked via the blockchain, a modeled process including modeled tasks. A transceiver receives, from the computing devices, signed electronic data messages including identifiers and values from their respective sensors. Blockchain transactions including identifiers and value(s) in the respective messages are generated. Generated blockchain transactions are published for inclusion in blockchain's copies. Value(s) in the respective electronic data messages are validated against the set of programmed rules. Based on the validations' results, events are emitted to an event bus monitored by a management system.

Abstract: Hardware and/or software that dynamically enables or disables CRC and/or adjust voltage level of power supply to a physical layer block on a host by determining an optimum tradeoff between power and performance. The hardware and/or software decreases the voltage level for the power supply and enables CRC to compensate signal errors (e.g., errors from signal integrity issues). Hardware and/or software dynamically adjusts voltage level of the power supply rail based on the throughput or speed of the DDR link. In some examples, depending on read or write operations, the voltage level of the power supply rail is adjusted.

Abstract: Certain example embodiments herein relate to techniques for automatically correcting and completing data in sparse datasets. Records in the dataset are divided into groups with properties having similar values. For each group, one or more properties of the records therein that is/are to be ignored is/are identified, based on record distances relative to the records in the group, and distances among values for each of the properties of the records in the respective group. The records in the groups are further divided into sub-groups without regard to the one or more properties that is/are to be ignored. The sub-groups include a smaller and more cohesive set of records. For each sub-group: based on the records therein, predicted values to be applied to values identified as being empty but needing to be filled in are determined; and those predicted values are applied. The corrected/completed dataset is provided as output.
