  • Patent number: 11778010
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a hindsight application computes a hindsight metric value for evaluation of a video rate selection algorithm. The hindsight application determines a first encoding option associated with a source chunk of a media title based on a network throughput trace and a buffer trellis. The hindsight application determines that the first encoding option is associated with a buffered duration range. The buffered duration range is also associated with a second encoding option that is stored in the buffer trellis. After determining that the first encoding option is associated with a higher visual quality than the second encoding option, the hindsight application stores the first encoding option instead of the second encoding option in the buffer trellis to generate a modified buffer trellis. Finally, the hindsight application computes a hindsight metric value associated with a sequence of encoded chunks of the media title based on the modified buffer trellis.

  • Patent number: 11758148
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a perceptual quality application determines an absolute quality score for encoded video content viewed on a target viewing device. In operation, the perceptual quality application determines a baseline absolute quality score for the encoded video content viewed on a baseline viewing device. Subsequently, the perceptual quality application determines that a target value for a type of the target viewing device does not match a base value for the type of the baseline viewing device. The perceptual quality application computes an absolute quality score for the encoded video content viewed on the target viewing device based on the baseline absolute quality score and the target value. Because the absolute quality score is independent of the viewing device, the absolute quality score accurately reflects the perceived quality of a wide range of encoded video content when decoded and viewed on a viewing device.

  • 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.

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.
