  • Patent number: 11750821
    Abstract: In various embodiments, an encoding ladder application generates encoding ladders for encoding media titles. In operation, the encoding ladder application generates a first convex hull representing encoding tradeoffs between quality and bitrate when encoding a media title at a first resolution; The encoding ladder application generates a second convex hull representing encoding tradeoffs between quality and bitrate when encoding the media title at a second resolution. Based on the first convex hull and the second convex hull, the encoding ladder application generates an overall convex hull. Subsequently, the encoding ladder application generates an encoding ladder for the media title based on at least the overall convex hull and a ladder requirement. Advantageously, the tradeoffs between quality and bitrate represented by the encoding ladder are customized for the media title. Consequently, encoding inefficiencies attributable to conventional fixed-bitrate ladders can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 11742120
    Abstract: A two-step diffusion method for preparing high-performance dual-main-phase sintered mischmetal-iron-boron magnet belongs to the preparing technical field of rare earth permanent magnet materials. The compositions of the two main phase alloys are RE-Fe—B (RE is Nd or Pr) and (Nd, MM)-Fe—B (MM is mischmetal), respectively. First, PrHoFe strip-casting alloy is used as a diffusion source. Next, a PrHo-rich layer is uniformly coated on the surface of (Nd, MM)-Fe—B hydrogen decrepitation powders. The higher anisotropic fields of Pr2Fe14B and Ho2Fe14B are used to improve the coercivity. Then, the ZrCu strip-casting alloy is used as a diffusion source. A Zr-rich layer is uniformly coated on the surface of the powders after the first-step diffusion, which prevents the growth of the MM-rich main phase grains during the sintering process and the inter-diffusion between the two main phases, thus obtaining high coercivity.

  • Publication number: 20230259406
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for workflow data redistribution in a hybrid computing environment comprising a private portion and a public portion of the hybrid computing environment. A received user request, that is serviced by a workflow executed by one or more computing devices of the hybrid computing environment, is parsed to extract criteria of the workflow for servicing the user request. It is determined whether a catalog data structure exists in a public catalog data store of the public portion that satisfies the criteria of the workflow and if not, the user request is processed in a workflow manager computing system of the private portion to generate a catalog that satisfies the criteria of the workflow and generate a result. A portion of the catalog is redistributed by storing the portion of the catalog in the public catalog data store of the public portion.

  • Patent number: 11729396
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a prediction application computes a quality score for re-constructed visual content that is derived from visual content. The prediction application generates a frame difference matrix based on two frames included in the re-constructed video content. The prediction application then generates a first entropy matrix based on the frame difference matrix and a first scale. Subsequently, the prediction application computes a first value for a first temporal feature based on the first entropy matrix and a second entropy matrix associated with both the visual content and the first scale. The prediction application computes a quality score for the re-constructed video content based on the first value, a second value for a second temporal feature associated with a second scale, and a machine learning model that is trained using subjective quality scores. The quality score indicates a level of visual quality associated with streamed video content.
