Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a user request from a client device associated with a user, accessing an instructional file comprising one or more binary inference engines and one or more encrypted model data corresponding to the one or more binary inference engines, respectively, selecting a binary inference engine from the one or more binary inference engines in the accessed instructional file based on the user request, sending a validation request for a permission to execute the binary inference engine to a licensing server, receiving the permission from the licensing server, decrypting the encrypted model data corresponding to the binary inference engine by a decryption key, executing the binary inference engine based on the user request and the decrypted model data, and sending one or more execution results responsive to the execution of the binary inference engine to the client device.

Abstract:

A plastic item, such as a beverage bottle, conveys two distinct digital watermarks, encoded using two distinct signaling protocols. A first, printed label watermark conveys a retailing payload, including a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) used by a point-of-sale scanner in a retail store to identify and price the item when presented for checkout. A second, plastic texture watermark conveys a recycling payload, including data identifying the composition of the plastic. The use of two different signaling protocols assures that a point-of-sale scanner will not spend its limited time and computational resources working to decode the recycling watermark, which lacks the data needed for retail checkout. In some embodiments, a recycling apparatus makes advantageous use of both types of watermarks to identify the plastic composition of the item (e.g., relating GTIN to plastic type using an associated database), thereby increasing the fraction of items that are correctly identified for sorting and recycling. A great number of other features and arrangements are also detailed.

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for selecting resources associated with a common topic. In one aspect, a method includes selecting a first resource associated with a topic, the first resource accessed in a user session, selecting a second resource accessed during the user session, determining whether the second resource is associated with the topic, and increasing a relevance score of the second resource and the topic based on determining that the second resource is not associated with the topic.
