Abstract: Example implementations relate to determining whether network invariants are violated by flow rules to be implemented by the data plane of a network. In an example, a verification module implemented on a device receives a flow rule transmitted from an SDN controller to a switch, the flow rule relating to an event. The module determines whether the flow rule matches any of a plurality of network invariants cached in the device. If determined that the flow rule matches one of the plurality of network invariants, the verification module determines whether the flow rule violates the matched network invariant. If determined that the flow rule does not match any of the plurality of network invariants, the verification module (1) reports the event associated with the flow rule to a policy management module, (2) receives a new network invariant related to the event from the policy management module, and (3) determines whether the flow rule violates the new network invariant.

In some embodiments, the laminated glass article may define all or a portion of a cover substrate for a consumer product.

Abstract: In a weighing method, a weight (W) of a measured object (7) is measured. A roll angle (r) and a pitch angle (p) of a weighing scale platform (100) are read. The coordinates of a placement position (x0, z0) of the measured object are acquired. A first error (error1) caused by a weighing state according to the roll angle and the pitch angle is calculated. A second error (error2) caused by a weighing position according to the coordinates of the placement position, the roll angle (r) and the pitch angle (p) is also calculated. From these, a corrected weight (Wc) is determined.

Abstract: Snippets can be represented in a language-independent semantic manner. Each portion of a snippet can be represented by a combination of a semantic representation and a syntactic representation, each in its own dimensional space. A snippet can be divided into portions by constructing a dependency structure based on relationships between words and phrases. Leaf nodes of the dependency structure can be assigned: A) a semantic representation according to pre-defined word mappings and B) a syntactic representation according to the grammatical use of the word. A trained semantic model can assign to each non-leaf node of the dependency structure a semantic representation based on a combination of the semantic and syntactic representations of the corresponding lower-level nodes. A trained syntactic model can assign to each non-leaf node a syntactic representation based on a combination of the syntactic representations of the corresponding lower-level nodes and the semantic representation of that node.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for scene change detection and image encoding. A sequence of image frames is input. For a first image frame of the sequence, a first total sum of absolute transformed differences (SATD) is calculated. For a second frame of the sequence, a second total SATD is calculated.

If the absolute difference meets or exceeds a threshold, the second frame and a third frame of the sequence subsequent to the second frame are encoded based on a scene change, and the second frame and the third frame are transmitted. If the absolute difference does not meet or exceed the threshold, the second frame is encoded based on a same scene and the second frame is transmitted.

Abstract: A machine translation system can improve results of machine translations by employing preferred translations, such as human translated phrases. In some implementations, the machine translation system can use the preferred translations as heavily weighted training data when building a machine translation engine. In some implementations, the machine translation system can use the preferred translations as an alternate to a result that would have otherwise been produced by a machine translation engine. While it is infeasible to obtain human translations for all translation phrases, preferred translations can be used for problem phrases for which machine translation engines often produce poor translations. The machine translation system can identify problem phrases by assigning a quality score to each translation in a set of translations.
