  • Publication number: 20160092591
    Abstract: A processor determines whether a DOM includes a repetitive pattern of a combination, formed by a tag of a leaf node and a tag of a parent node of the leaf node. Determining the repetitive pattern of the combination, the processor identifies a first inner cluster is identified by collapsing multiple instances of the repetitive pattern into a single instance. The processor generates a LSH signature for the single instance of the repetitive pattern. The processor determines an outer cluster, based on grouping one or more inner clusters, as part of a section rooted at a source node of the DOM, in which the source node is a parent node of the one or more inner clusters. Determining that a pair of outer clusters are near repetitive, the processor limits web content exploration to one of the pair of outer clusters.

  • Publication number: 20160092599
    Abstract: A method for processing a database query includes receiving a database query to be executed according to a first processing profile and determining whether the database query is likely to be an ad hoc query. The determining of whether the database query is likely to be an ad hoc query is based on a factor. The factor can include a query originator factor, a job type factor, a run history factor, or a query quality factor. A second processing profile is generated before executing the database query in response to determining that the database query is likely to be an ad hoc query. The second processing profile is configured to limit performance impacts, such as by providing a lower execution priority, prohibiting parallel database operations, limiting memory allocation, or delaying or blocking the query.

  • Publication number: 20160092603
    Abstract: Mechanisms to help a computing system respond to a request for information within a data model. After determining that there is insufficient information within the data model to respond to the request, the computing system identifies one or more additional data sources that are external to the data model and that contain information suitable to respond to the request. The computing system then automatically supplements the data model with at least one of such additional data sources. The computing system then responds to the request using the supplemented data model. In some embodiments, the supplementation may be performed in advance of the request by analyzing the characteristics of the data model and/or by anticipating possible future requests. Thus, a data model may grow automatically in response to particular usage of that data model to satisfy requests.

Design space is defined by design variables while objective space is defined by design objectives. First set of designs in the design space is selected. Each of the first set is evaluated in the objective space for non-dominance. The design space is partitioned into first and second regions using a multi-dimensional space division scheme (e.g., SVM). The first region is part of the design space containing all of the non-dominated design alternatives while the second region contains remaining of the design space. Second set of designs is selected within the first region. Each of the second set and existing non-dominated design alternatives is evaluated for non-dominance. Multi-objective optimization repeats the partition and evaluation until an end condition is reached.

  • Publication number: 20160092624
    Abstract: A method for filler insertions in a circuit layout having a cell row of standard cells and gaps between the standard cells is disclosed. First, a set of filler classes, each filler class having a set of filler cells, is classified that are configured to fill the gaps depending on a design requirement. Then, a filler insertion pattern based on a required ratio is identified such that horizontal and vertical density of the set of filler classes in the circuit layout are as per the required ratio and the cell row of the circuit layout has at least one filler cell from each of the set of filler classes.

  • Publication number: 20160092627
    Abstract: Systems and methods allow an IC design process to continue in the face of errors while those errors are being investigated and fixed in the actual design data. Potential mismatches can be categorized and a user can choose which action (if any) to take when a specific mismatch is discovered. A set of potential mismatches and their action settings can be aggregated into a higher level setting that the end user of the system can choose during different stages of a design project. A record of the mismatches that have been encountered, the design elements that are involved in each mismatch, and what action where taken to repair the mismatch is kept and maintained.

  • Publication number: 20160092628
    Abstract: The present modeling tool and method dynamically generate a maintenance simulation of a vehicle. For doing so, a configuration interface receives a list of components of the vehicle, each particular component comprising parameters defining the particular component. The configuration interface further receives relationships between the components in the list, and determines a plurality of state, transitions, conditions, triggers and actions. A processing unit processes the data received and determined via the configuration interface to generate the maintenance simulation, the maintenance simulation comprising an aggregation of all the determined transitions between the components into a global state machine. The present method may further be performed by a computer program product.

  • Publication number: 20160092629
    Abstract: An aircraft designing apparatus receives set values of design parameters related to the shape of an intake duct, creates analysis models for an aerodynamic characteristic analysis and a radar-cross-section analysis by using the values of the design parameters, calculates aerodynamic characteristics and radar-cross-section characteristics of the intake duct, and determines whether or not this analytical result satisfies a preset design condition. If it is determined that the analytical result does not satisfy the design condition, the values of the design parameters are updated. The updating of the design parameters, the analyses of the aerodynamic characteristics and the radar-cross-section characteristics, and the determining process are repeated until it is determined that the analytical result satisfies the design condition.

  • Publication number: 20160092630
    Abstract: Accurate and fast mapping of sequencing reads obtained from a targeted sequencing procedure can be provided. Once a target region is selected, alternate regions of the genome that are sufficiently similar to the target region can be identified. If a sequencing read is more similar to the target region than to an alternate region, then the read can be determined as aligning to the target region. The reads aligning to the target region can then be analyzed to determine whether a mutation exists in the target region. Accordingly, a sequencing read can be compared to the target region and the corresponding alternate regions, and not to the entire genome, thereby providing computational efficiency.
