CPC Code(s): A63F13/358



Abstract: a data processing system implements an acoustic delay detection technique for detecting and correcting inter-stream latency between two audio streams in a cloud-based computing environment. a first audio stream of game audio is sent to a controller or headset associated with the cloud-based computing environment, and a second audio steam of game audio is send to a display device associated with the cloud-based computing environment. an acoustic marker that is inaudible to human users is added to the second audio stream. a microphone associated with the controller or headset records audio content output by a speaker of the display device. the recording includes the acoustic marker. the gaming platform correlates this recording with the acoustic marker to determine a difference between the time that the controller played the audio and the time that the display device played the audio in order to determine and compensate for an inter-stream latency.

Inventor(s): Pavle SUBOTIC of Belgrade (RS) for microsoft technology licensing, llc

IPC Code(s): H04L9/40

CPC Code(s): H04L63/104



Abstract: techniques are described herein that are capable of performing an action based on a pre-implementation determination whether a proposed role assignment associated with a dynamic role hierarchy conforms to security properties. role assignments, assigning roles to principals, and a proposed role assignment are identified. impacted role assignments are selected from the role assignments. a static policy, which is defined by the impacted role assignments and the proposed role assignment, is generated. the static policy is converted into a first logical artifact. a specification and a relationship property are converted into a second logical artifact. the specification includes security properties defining boundaries of allowed actions and disallowed actions. the relationship property defines a relationship between the specification and the static policy. prior to implementation of the proposed role assignment, the first and second logical artifacts are compared to determine whether the proposed role assignment conforms to the security properties.

CPC Code(s): H04L63/1483



Abstract: the techniques described herein enhance the operation of automated machine learning platforms by utilizing large language models for automated featurization. for example, given an input dataset, a large language model can determine the context of the input dataset and generate a variety of different featurization approaches. each featurization approach can include a feature set derived from the input dataset. in the present context, a feature defines a relationship between portions of the input dataset. consequently, good feature selection translates directly to machine learning model performance. a set of machine learning models is then trained and evaluated using the featurization approaches generated by the large language model and the input dataset. evaluation is performed using a metric selected based on the machine learning task. the machine learning models can then be ranked and the machine learning model with the greatest performance can then be selected for deployment.

Abstract: innovations in syntax and semantics of coded picture buffer removal delay (“cpbrd”) values potentially simplify splicing operations. for example, a video encoder sets a cpbrd value for a current picture that indicates an increment value relative to a nominal coded picture buffer removal time of a preceding picture in decoding order, regardless of whether the preceding picture has a buffering period sei message. the encoder can signal the cpbrd value according to a single-value approach in which a flag indicates how to interpret the cpbrd value, according to a two-value approach in which another cpbrd value (having a different interpretation) is also signaled, or according to a two-value approach that uses a flag and a delta value. a corresponding video decoder receives and parses the cpbrd value for the current picture. a splicing tool can perform simple concatenation operations to splice bitstreams using cpbrd value for the current picture.

CPC Code(s): H10N60/128



Abstract: described is a semiconductor device comprising a substrate having a surface; a mesa arranged on the surface of the substrate, the mesa having a perimeter; and one or more gate electrodes. the mesa is obtainable by selective area growth, and comprises a semiconductor heterostructure for hosting a 2-dimensional electron gas or a 2-dimensional hole gas. the one or more gate electrodes are configured to deplete electrically portions of the semiconductor heterostructure to define a boundary of an active region of the semiconductor heterostructure, the boundary being spaced from the perimeter of the mesa. by using a selective-area-grown mesa and defining the boundary of the active region electrostatically, improved electronic properties may be obtained, for example by avoiding the diffuse scattering of charge carriers. also provided is a method for fabricating the device, and a use of one or more gate electrodes to define an active region of a semiconductor component.
