Abstract:
Provided herein are compositions, systems, methods, and kits for joining together the ends of one or more polynucleotides using at least one pair of blocking oligonucleotide adaptors. Blocking oligonucleotide adaptors can be used to reduce the formation of adaptor dimers or trimers (or higher-order concatemers) which can improve the yield of desirable polynucleotide-adaptor products in any recombinant nucleic acid workflow. Blocking oligonucleotide adaptors can comprise a double-stranded oligonucleotide adaptor (duplex) having an overhang cohesive portion that anneals with a blocking oligonucleotide which can be a separate single-stranded oligonucleotide. A blocking oligonucleotide, when annealed to an overhang portion, can prevent undesirable hybridization of the overhang portion to another nucleic acid, such as the overhang portion from another blocking oligonucleotide adaptor or a polynucleotide of interest.
Abstract:
A simple and robust CTL is used for time tracking of multipath components of a spread spectrum signal transmitted over a wireless multipath fading channel. A digital code-tracking loop includes despreading early and late data samples by use of a pseudonoise sequence, an error signal output generated by the despreading, and adjustment for a plurality of on-time, early and late samples, a data rate of a control signal provided as a fractional proportion of a data rate of error signals.
Abstract:
A method and a device of service migration in an automatically switched optical network are disclosed in the present invention, and the method includes: when receiving a migration indication message, a migration node sending an cross information checking request to a transmission plane (S101); when receiving a cross information checking success message, the migration node performing a slot resource migration (S102); and the migration node determining whether it is the destination node of the present service migration, if it is determined to be yes, an cross connection migration is performed directly, otherwise, the cross connection migration is performed after the indication signaling, which is sent by a downstream node and carries a cross connection migration scene, is received (S103). The present invention improves the reliability of the migration from PC to SPC, and further ensures the reliability of the migration by a strict state control and state refresh mechanism.
Abstract:
Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate migrating message for a messaging service. In aspects, a determination is made that messages need to be migrated based on a threshold being crossed. In response, an agent is instructed to migrate data associated with the messages to another location. The agent uses various factors to determine one or more queues to migrate. While a queue is being migrated, during a first portion of the migration, messages may be added to and removed from the queue as senders send new messages and receivers consume messages. During a second portion of the migration, the queue is frozen to disallow the queue to be used for receiving new messages and delivering queued messages. The migration may be orchestrated to attempt to achieve certain goals.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are representative embodiments for performing entropy coding or decoding using a counter-based scheme. In one exemplary embodiment disclosed herein, a first codeword is received from compressed digital media data. The first codeword is decoded into a first digital media data value by referencing a codeword table that associates the first codeword with the first digital media data value and a second codeword with a second digital media data value. A counter for counting occurrences of the first digital media data value is incremented. The value of the first counter is compared with the value of a second counter that counts occurrences of a second digital media data value. If the value of the first counter and the value of the second counter are equal (or greater than or equal), the codeword table is updated to swap codewords between the first and second digital media values.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, for a current block of a first frame of digital image data, a list of motion vector prediction information for the current block is populated with candidate motion vector prediction data that includes default motion vector prediction data. In another embodiment, at least a portion of a coded video bitstream is received and a merge flag for a current block in a current frame is decoded. After the merge flag is decoded, at least one merge candidate for the current block is determined.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a flexible, halogen-free, flame retardant composition. The composition includes from about 25 wt % to about 95 wt % of a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU); from about 5 wt % to about 50 wt % of an olefin block copolymer (OBC); and from about 30 wt % to about 70 wt % of a flame retardant. The flame retardant is selected from resorcinol bis(diphenyl 5 phosphate) (RDP), bis diphenyl phosphate (BDP), bisphenol-A bis(diphenyl phosphate) (BPADP), aluminum trihydrate (ATH), a nitrogen/phosphorus-based halogen-free flame retardant, epoxidized novolac resin, and combinations thereof. The composition requires no compatibilizer for the TPU and OBC. The composition finds application in wire and cable structures.
