Abstract: An image sensor comprises a plurality of image sensing pixels arranged to form a sensor array. Each image sensing pixel of the plurality of image sensing pixels comprises a semiconductor photodetector connected to a photosensitive region that comprises a photon reception area configured to receive photons to facilitate image capture. For at least a particular image sensing pixel of the plurality of image sensing pixels, the length or the width of the photon reception area is smaller than about 80% of a pixel pitch measurement between the particular image sensing pixel and an adjacent image sensing pixel, which contributes to reduced volume of the photosensitive region and mitigated sensor noise. A space between the photosensitive region of the particular image sensing pixel and the photosensitive region of the adjacent image sensing pixel comprises at least one oxide layer and/or at least one metal layer.

Abstract: The present disclosure relate to highlighting audience members with reactions to a presenter of an online meeting. Unlike physical, fact-to-face meeting that enables spontaneous interactions among the presenter and the audiences that are collocated with the presenter, presenting materials during an online meeting raises an issue of the present not being able to see real-time reactions or feedback by the audience members. The present disclosure addresses the issue by dynamically determining one or more audience members who indicate reactions during the online meeting or presentation and displaying faces of the one or more audience members under spotlight to the presenter. The presenter sees faces of the audience members with reactions during the online presentation and responds to the audience members and keep the audience engaged. The spotlight audience server analyzes video frames and determines types of reactions of the audience members.

Abstract: Systems and methods for characterizing and forecasting evolving query workloads. The method includes receiving a query, the received query including a parameter value and an arrival time; identifying the query as a recurrent query; extracting a query template from the received query by parsing the received query; based at least on the identifying, generating a feature vector for the received query, the feature vector generated based on the extracted template and the parameter value; and forecasting a future query based on the generated feature vector by applying a neural network.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods that add an outer product engine and an accumulator array to implement Advanced Reduced Instruction Set Computer Machine (ARM)'s scalable matrix extensions (SME) instruction set in an ARM central processing unit (CPU) core. The systems and methods reuse the existing SVE hardware already present in the ARM CPU core for executing the SME instruction set. The systems and methods of the present disclosure use temporal single-instruction multiple data (SIMD) processing an instruction over multiple cycles to reduce memory bandwidth needed in the ARM CPU core to process the SME instruction set.

Abstract: This disclosure provides electrochemically-cleavable linkers with cleavage potentials that are less than the redox potential of the solvent in which the linkers are used. In some applications, the solvent may be water or an aqueous buffer solution. The linkers may be used to link a nucleotide to a bound group. The linkers include a cleavable group which may be one of a methoxybenzyl alcohol, an ester, a propargyl thioether, or a trichloroethyl ether. The linkers may be cleaved in solvent by generating an electrode potential that is less than the redox potential of the solvent. In some implementations, an electrode array may be used to generate localized electrode potentials which selectively cleave linkers bound to the activated electrode. Uses for the linkers include attachment of blocking groups to nucleotides in enzymatic oligonucleotide synthesis.

Abstract: Generally discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for digital signature generation security. A method can include generating, by a first device, a first random number, in generating a signature for a communication, masking, using the first random number, only a private key, a hash of the communication, or a combination thereof, and providing the signature with the communication to a second device.

Abstract: Various embodiments discussed herein are directed to improving existing technologies by causing presentation, to one or more user devices associated with one or more meeting attendees, of one or more indications of one or more content items during or before a meeting based at least in part on one or more natural language utterances associated with the meeting, a context of the meeting, and/or a context associated with one or more meeting attendees. In other words, particular embodiments automatically recommend relevant content items responsive to the real-time natural language utterances in the meeting, and/or other context.

Abstract: A quantum measurement circuit implements a hypergraph product code (HPG). A syndrome can be extracted from the circuit by preparing a readout qubit of the quantum measurement circuit in a known state, preparing a row-based measurement gadget, and preparing a column-based measurement gadget in the quantum measurement circuit. The row-based measurement gadget entangles the readout qubit with a first subset of the target set of data qubits in a same row of the quantum measurement circuit as the readout qubit, and the column based gadget entangles the readout qubit with a second subset of the target set of data qubits in a same column of the quantum measurement circuit as the readout qubit. The syndrome is extracted by measuring the readout qubit to extract the parity of the target set of data qubits.

Abstract: A computing system is provided, including a processor and memory executing a reboot tracking module configured to read out a stored reboot request identifier assigned to a node in the computing system including a first value, and receive a first reboot request to reboot the node in the computing system including a first reboot request identifier. The reboot tracking module is further configured to, responsive to identifying a match between a value of the first reboot request identifier and the first value of the stored reboot request identifier, accept the first reboot request and update the stored reboot request identifier with a second value, receive a second reboot request to reboot the node including a second reboot request identifier, and responsive to identifying a mismatch between a value of the second reboot request identifier and the second value of the stored reboot request identifier, reject the second reboot request.

Abstract: The disclosure describes a subjective data application system that utilizes large generative models (LGMs) to leverage unlabeled and poorly labeled subjective data. The subjective data application system utilizes multiple instances of LGMs as label functions, which in turn creates a dependable training dataset from a collection of unlabeled subjective data. By using this reliable training data, the subjective data application system develops and trains lightweight, computationally efficient, generative models. These models are then employed to process subjective data with accuracy and speed in real-time or online applications.
