Abstract:
Apparatuses, methods, and systems for dynamic resource allocation based on quality-of-service prediction are disclosed. In embodiments, an apparatus includes quality-of-service prediction circuitry and a resource controller. The quality-of-service prediction circuitry is to make quality-of-service predictions using a model based at least in part on at least one performance counter measurements and at least one quality-of-service measurement. The resource controller is to allocate one or more shared resources based on the quality-of-service predictions and architectural performance counter measurements.
Abstract:
This utility model released one kind of multifunctional flexibly transformable cup, comprising one internally cut-through transformable cup and a nested bottom plug that is sealed and clamped with the transformable cup body. The above-mentioned transformable cup is comprised of a foldable enclosure and pin that are successively cut-through and flexibly and tightly connected. The aforesaid seal clamp for embedded bottom plug is located at the junction between the foldable enclosure and pin. When the multifunctional flexibly transformable cup of the utility model is in use, the folding enclosure body can be overturned freely, and the whole body is made of food-grade flexible silica gel material, which is safe and reliable and not easy to be broken. It can also be used as the wine cup, bottle stopper and the bottleneck inserted into the wine bottle that can be directly used for drainage of fluid, with complete functions.
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 flexible reference picture management are described. For example, a video encoder and video decoder use a global reference picture set (“GRPS”) of reference pictures that remain in memory, and hence are available for use in video encoding/decoding, longer than conventional reference pictures. In particular, reference pictures of the GRPS remain available across random access boundaries. Or, as another example, a video encoder and video decoder clip a reference picture so that useful regions of the reference picture are retained in memory, while unhelpful or redundant regions of the reference picture are discarded. Reference picture clipping can reduce the amount of memory needed to store reference pictures or improve the utilization of available memory by providing better options for motion compensation. Or, as still another example, a video encoder and video decoder filter a reference picture to remove random noise (e.g., capture noise due to camera imperfections during capture).
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.
