Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling gaming moments across different gaming channels, different entities, and different environments. In one example, the system and methods use blockchain and/or non-fungible token (NFT) components and/or functionality. In an embodiment, a computing system can detecting a qualifying game event for a sharable gaming moment. The computing system generates a digital asset. The digital asset indicates details of the qualifying game event. The computing system encodes a referral code with the digital asset. The computing system transmits, in response to a user input via an application of a user computing device, the digital asset and the referral code to at least one gaming channel. The computing system detects, in response to electronic communication from the at least one gaming channel, an action associated with the digital asset. The computing system awards, based on the referral code and the action, a number of points for use (e.g.

Abstract: Methods and systems for determining information for a specimen are provided. One system includes a computer subsystem configured for determining a global texture characteristic of an image of a specimen and one or more local characteristics of a localized area in the image. The system also includes one or more components executed by the computer subsystem. The component(s) include a machine learning model configured for determining information for the specimen based on the global texture characteristic and the one or more local characteristics. The computer subsystem is also configured for generating results including the determined information. The methods and systems may be used for metrology (in which the determined information includes one or more characteristics of a structure formed on the specimen) or inspection (in which the determined information includes a classification of a defect detected on the specimen).

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of management of Information Technology (IT) Infrastructure. The invention further relates to Information Technology Infrastructure assets, and to techniques for estimating utilization of IT Infrastructure assets. Particularly, the invention relates to method of estimation and computation of utilization of IT Infrastructure Assets, and to provide a reliable metric and a single unit of measurement for the determination of utilization of the asset derived from utilization parameters in the form of a monetary value.

Abstract: Wafer inspection with stable nuisance rates and defect of interest capture rates are disclosed. This technique can be used for discovery of newly appearing defects that occur during the manufacturing process. Based on a first wafer, defects of interest are identified based on the classified filtered inspection results. For each remaining wafer, the defect classifier is updated and defects of interest in the next wafer are identified based on the classified filtered inspection results.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an augmented input data to a convolutional neural network (CNN) are disclosed. Wafer images are received at a processor. The wafer image is divided into a plurality of references images each associated with a die in the wafer image. Test images are received. A plurality of difference images are created by differences the test images with the reference images. The reference images and difference images are assembled into the augmented input data for the CNN and provided to the CNN.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a content server receives a request for a widget from a web server, specifying a user identifier and a delegation server. If the delegation server is trusted, the user's identity is ascertained using the user identifier. The widget is delivered having a context of the user's identity. The content server receives a request to access content generated utilizing the widget incorporated into a web page and allows access based on the context of the widget. In other embodiments, a social network server receives a request from a web server for a widget. The widget is delivered having a source indicator. Subsequently, the social network server receives a request to access the social graph generated utilizing the widget incorporated into a web page. If the request includes a change to the social graph, the social network server allows the request if the widget is trusted.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are directed towards a caching layer for managing access to blog content. The invention includes a caching layer that communicates with a web server and a database server. The caching layer includes a plurality of slots arranged to hold information. The web server is directed to the caching layer for information. If the information is not in the caching layer, the caching layer accesses it from the database. When information from the database is accessed, it is transferred into a slot in the caching layer. An index associated with each slot is usable to further improve access to cached information. When a slot is unavailable, the slot may be automatically emptied. The emptied slot may then be available to receive additional information. The slot may be emptied when without querying when the information was placed in the caching layer or when the information was last accessed.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are directed towards managing a database using moderator determined attributes, and a contributor employable bitmask. In one embodiment, the database is employable for use in managing a weblog (blog). The bitmask is configured to enable contributors of a content item to modify selected options of an attribute for the provided content item. In one embodiment the bitmask is stored in the database and is associated with the content item in the database. By enabling a contributor to directly control options associated with an attribute for the content item, changes to selected attributes of the database's content may be made with minimum interaction with a database administrator. For example, in one embodiment, the contributor may directly control anonymity associated with the provided content item, access to the provided content item, and how the provided content items is displayed.
