Abstract:
A representation of a network having vertices connected by arcs is provided, where the network exhibits a pseudoflow. Arcs on which moves are to be performed are iteratively chosen for balancing excesses of vertices across the arcs until a stopping rule is satisfied. After the stopping rule is satisfied, further processing is performed to identify at least one of a minimum cut and/or maximum flow.
Abstract:
A method and a system are provided which regressively cluster datapoints from a plurality of data sources without transferring data between the plurality of data sources. In addition, a method and a system are provided which mine data from a dataset by iteratively applying a regression algorithm and a K-Harmonic Means performance function on a set number of functions derived from the dataset.
Abstract:
A computer-executable method receives at least one query that specifies requests involving blocks of data. Based on information associated with at least one query, a sequence is identified relating to an order in which the blocks are to be retrieved into a storage for processing the requests. An output is provided for the at least one query based on retrieving the blocks into the storage according to the identified sequence.

Abstract:
A power supply generates a supply voltage that varies from a first voltage level to a second voltage level. A first current source is coupled to the power supply and generates a current that varies due to channel-length modulation. A channel-length modulation (CLM) compensation mechanism is provided to reduce the current variation of the first current source by compensating the channel-length modulation (CLM) of the first current source.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method is provided for reducing output current oscillations of a driver provided with i) a current sensing circuit that senses excessive current draws of an output stage of the driver, and ii) a feedback control circuit that reduces the excessive current draws. In accordance with the method, an output of the current sensing circuit is coupled to an input of a common source amplifier with source degeneration. The output of the common source amplifier is coupled to a node between an input stage and an amplification stage of the driver. The common source amplifier is configured to be activated when the current sensing circuit senses an excessive current draw of the output stage, at which time the feedback control circuit is also activated. Related apparatus is also disclosed.

Abstract:
A method for product portfolio analysis includes selecting a set of solution points along a curve of order benefit as a function of the number of products in a product portfolio and performing a heuristic between an adjacent pair of solution points that approximates the curve between the adjacent pair of solution points. An apparatus that can perform the product portfolio analysis is also described.
Abstract:
A distributed data clustering system having an integrator and at least two computing units. Each computing unit is loaded with common global parameter values and a particular local data set. Each computing unit then generates local sufficient statistics based on the local data set and global parameter values. The integrator employs the local sufficient statistics of all the computing units to update the global parameter values.
