Abstract:
Various systems and methods for implementing reputation management and intent-based security mechanisms are described herein. A system for implementing intent-driven security mechanisms, configured to: determine, based on a risk tolerance intent related to execution of an application on a compute node, whether execution of a software-implemented operator requires a trust evaluation; and in response to determining that the software-implemented operator requires the trust evaluation: obtain a reputation score of the software-implemented operator; determine a minimum reputation score from the risk tolerance intent; compare the reputation score of the software-implemented operator to the minimum reputation score; and reject or permit execution of the software-implemented operator based on the comparison
Abstract:
A disorder rock salt composition for use as a cathode active material. The stoichiometry of the lithium, niobium, oxygen, and transition metal components of the disordered rock salt is varied to improved performance in an electrochemical cell while substantially maintaining the disordered rock salt crystallographic structure.
Abstract:
Various innovations in media encoding are presented herein. In particular, the innovations can reduce the computational complexity of encoding by selectively skipping certain evaluation stages during encoding. For example, based on analysis of decisions made earlier in encoding or based on analysis of media to be encoded, an encoder can selectively skip evaluation of certain coding tools (such as residual coding or rate-distortion-optimized quantization), skip evaluation of certain values for parameters or settings (such as candidate unit sizes or transform sizes, or candidate partition patterns for motion compensation), and/or skip evaluation of certain coding modes (such as frequency transform skip mode) that are not expected to improve rate-distortion performance during encoding.
Abstract:
Innovations in the area of encoding or decoding of blocks using intra block copy (“BC”) prediction improve coding efficiency for intra-BC-predicted blocks in many situations. For example, some of the innovations relate to block flipping in which an intra-BC-predicted block is flipped relative to a reference region, which can be indicated by a block vector (“BV”) value. Other innovations relate to signaling of a skip mode in which a current intra-BC-predicted block uses a signaled BV differential but lacks residual data.
Abstract:
Innovations in intra block copy (“BC”) prediction mode facilitate intra BC prediction that is more effective in terms of rate-distortion performance and/or computational efficiency of encoding and decoding. For example, some of the innovations provide ways to select block vector (“BV”) values more effectively. Other innovations provide ways to encode/decode BV values more efficiently. Still other innovations address how to perform in-loop deblock filtering when a block has intra BC prediction mode, or address how to perform intra BC prediction when constrained intra prediction is enabled.
Abstract:
A display method and display device are described where the method includes when a first device is in a first status, the first device displays a first output content of the first device in a first display area of a display module, when it is detected that the first device goes into a second status from the first status, the first device displays the first output content in a second display area of the display module, and displays a second output content in a third display area of the display module, wherein, the first output content is different from the second output content, the second area does not overlap with the third area, and the first area contains the second and third areas.
