Abstract: the automatic generation of synthetic training data that can be used to train a language model to generate code examples following a code language based on a natural language input. thus, new language models may be created, or existing language models may be fine-tuned, to adapt to automatically generate code without having to manually generate bulk quantities of training data. rather, a many-to-many grammar mapping is navigated to generate training data. specifically, the many-to-many grammar mapping maps code grammar to natural grammar. then, each training data is generated by navigating the many-to-many grammar mapping definition to generate a mapping of a respective code expression to a respective natural language expression.

Abstract: interfaces between clock domains of an integrated circuit (ic) depend on synchronization of phase-locked loops (plls) that generate clocks in the different domains and on how each pll responds to jitter in a shared reference clock. the well-controlled same bandwidth (and loop dynamic) for those plls renders the same and, therefore, ignorable reference jitter contribution. as a key component that determines a digital pll bandwidth, digitally controlled oscillator (dco) may have its gain vary with process, temperature, and supply ir drop from chip to chip or even module to module. a calibration circuit provides a gain correction factor to achieve a nominal gain in dco as well as a desired/target pll loop bandwidth. in some examples, the calibration circuit in each pll determines a gain correction factor that causes the plls to have a common jitter response and stores the gain correction factors in the calibration circuits.

Abstract: methods for composable user journeys for user authentication via an identity experience framework are performed by systems and apparatuses. initiating a user authentication process for an application triggers application calls for dynamic invocation of a specific identity policy, required by the application, of a number of identity policies managed by a host of the identity experience framework. user interfaces defined by the identity policies are provided from the host to the application for interaction by the user and entry of identity information needed to authenticate the user according to specified verification providers. identity claims and token requests are provided from the application to the host which then authenticates the identity claims via the verification providers and mints a token that includes the claims required by the application, according to the identity policy. the application consumes the token to complete the token request and allow the user access to the application.

Abstract: confining lateral traversal within a network. an authorization request identifies a credential, a protected first resource, and an identifier of a protected second resource for which authorization is requested. a lateral traversal policy associated with the second resource is identified, which constrains access to the second resource to only resources that belong to a subset of resources including the second resource. when it is determined that the credential is configured for access to the second resource, and when it is determined that the first resource belongs to the subset of resources including the second resource, an authorization token is issued, which authorizes the credential to access the second resource via the first resource. alternatively, when it is determined that the credential is granted access to the second resource, and when it is determined that the first resource is outside of the particular subset of resources, the authorization request is denied.

Abstract: some embodiments bridge a gap between focusing on security alerts raised by conditions and events that have already occurred, and focusing on vulnerabilities that might be exploited in the future. alerts are organized into alert categories, vulnerabilities are organized into vulnerability categories, and are optionally supplemented with misconfiguration categories. correlations are identified between alert categories and vulnerability or misconfiguration categories, and the correlation values noted, to produce category association rules. the alerts, vulnerabilities, and other security findings are gathered in some situations from multiple similar environments, and in some cases are filtered to pertain to similar resources or similar configurations. the category association rules are utilized to perform cybersecurity prioritizations such as assigning priority levels to alerts and assigning likelihood levels to potential breaches. graphs showing resources and data flow paths are annotated with risk scores or with security findings relevant to the applicable category association rules.

Abstract: improved video compression and video streaming systems and methods are disclosed for environments where camera motion is common, such as cameras incorporated into head-mounted displays. this is accomplished by combining a 3d representation of the shape of the user's environment (walls, floor, ceiling, furniture, etc.), image data, and data representative of changes in the location and orientation (pose) of the camera between successive image frames, thereby reducing data bandwidth needed to send streaming video in the presence of camera motion.

Abstract: techniques for coding and deriving (e.g., determining) one or more coded-block-flags associated with video content are described herein. a coded-block-flag of a last node may be determined when coded-block-flags of preceding nodes are determined to be a particular value and when a predetermined condition is satisfied. in some instances, the predetermined condition may be satisfied when log(size of current transform unit) is less than log(size of maximum transform unit) or log(size of current coding unit) is less than or equal to log(size of maximum transform unit)+1. the preceding nodes may be nodes that precede the last node on a particular level in a residual tree.

Abstract: techniques for providing auxiliary power to a datacenter, which is normally serviced by a power utility, are disclosed. the system includes a controller, a first stamp, and a second stamp. a common dc bus couples the first stamp to the second stamp on a dc side. a common ac bus couples the first stamp to the second stamp on an ac side (e.g., the output of the stamps). an ac breaker is disposed on the ac bus between the first stamp and the second stamp. the controller controls whether the ac breaker is open or closed. a default state of the ac breaker is an open state. the control of the breakers can occur for various reasons, including whether the utility is available or whether the utility is not available. the utility might not be available due to a utility failure or due to other reasons.

Abstract: an immersion cooling system includes an immersion tank that is configured to retain dielectric working fluid and to hold a plurality of computing devices submerged in the dielectric working fluid. the immersion cooling system also includes a condenser that is configured to cause condensation of vaporized working fluid. the immersion cooling system also includes a subcooling heat exchanger that is in fluid communication with a coolant source. the coolant source provides coolant having a coolant temperature that is lower than a boiling point of the dielectric working fluid. the subcooling heat exchanger is positioned so that heat transfer can occur between the dielectric working fluid and the subcooling heat exchanger. the immersion cooling system also includes a control system that controls how much of the coolant flows into the subcooling heat exchanger based at least in part on a temperature of the dielectric working fluid.
