Abstract: A computer-implemented method for termination of programs associated with different addressing modes includes receiving a call to an external interface to execute a target callee program from a caller program executing in a primary runtime environment. The external interface allocates an interoperability term area (ITA) in a primary runtime environment. The ITA is accessible by the primary runtime environment and a secondary runtime environment. The external interface executes the target callee program in the secondary runtime environment. The target callee program sets a termination reason parameter in the ITA. In response to the target callee program setting the termination reason parameter, a termination action in the primary runtime environment is performed. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Provided is a method for preventing deadlocks between competing threads. The method includes receiving a lock request from a first thread and, in response, identifying a potential deadlock with a second thread. In response, the method includes determining whether to deny the lock request, which includes: determining whether a first duration for which the first thread will hold the lock to complete its job is longer than a second duration for which the second thread will hold the lock to complete its job; determining whether the second thread will start to use the lock soon relative to the first duration; and determining whether both the first and second threads will complete their respective jobs within a time limit if the lock is denied to the first thread while the second thread completes its job. The method further includes denying the request for the requested lock from the first thread.

Abstract: Source code of a golden version and a next version of a program is received in which procedure calls are modified to call from an entry point table (EPT) with index numbers corresponding to procedure memory addresses. An executable defect-free golden version program and next version program with a defect are received. A first entry point table (first EPT) for the new version program and a second EPT for the golden version program are generated. A series of substitutions of procedures from the second EPT to the first EPT is performed and an order of substitutions includes: a module set, a module of the module set, a procedure set of the module, and a procedure of the procedure set. The defect producing procedure is identified by substituting in order until the defect is absent and proceeding to the next substitution in order.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to fluid absorbent cores including at least one absorption layer, the layer including at least 80% by weight of water-absorbent polymer particles, 0 to 10% by weight of an adhesive and from 0 to 10% by weight of fibrous material, wherein the water-absorbent polymer particles within the absorption layer are water-absorbent polymer particles having a vortex of 40 s or less and having a roundness of 0.79 to 0.85 and/or a CRC of 38 g/g to 85 g/g.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for implementing wear leveling in a flash memory device that emulates an EEPROM. The embodiments utilize an index array, which stores an index word for each logical address in the emulated EEPROM. Each bit in each index word is associated with a physical address for a physical word in the emulated EEPROM, and the index word keeps track of which physical word is the current word for a particular logical address. The use of the index word enables a wear leveling algorithm that allows for a programming command to a logical address to result in: (i) skipping the programming operation if the data stored in the current word does not contain a “1” that corresponds to a “0” in the data to be stored, (ii) reprogramming one or more bits of the current word in certain situations, or (iii) shifting to and programming the next physical word in certain situations.

Abstract: A method of authenticating genuine products in an online shopping platform, including the steps of receiving an online shopping order from a buyer through the online shopping platform, the order having information about a targeted product and a designated store; purchasing the targeted product at the designated store by a buying agent; putting a unique and non-replaceable identification item on the targeted product when the purchase transaction is completed; videotaping selection of the targeted product by the buying agent, the purchasing of the targeted product at the designated store, and putting the unique and non-replaceable identification item on the targeted product; and making the video captured accessible to the buyer of the targeted product.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a framework to infer a user's value for a particular attribute based upon a multi-task machine learning process with uncertainty weighting that incorporates signals from multiple contexts is provided. In an example embodiment, the framework aims to measure a level of a user attribute under a certain context. Rather than attempting to devise a universal, one-size-fits-all value for the attribute, the framework acknowledges that the user's value for that attribute can vary depending on context and factors in the context under which the user's attribute levels are measured. Multiple contexts are defined depending on different situations where users and entities such as companies and organizations need to evaluate user attribute levels. Signals for attribute levels are then collected for each context. Machine learning models are utilized to estimate attribute values for different contexts. Multi-task deep learning is used to level attributes from different contexts.
