In-place recovery of fatal system errors at virtualization hosts. A device identifies an occurrence of a fatal system error in the first instance of a host operating system (OS) executing in a computer system. The device determines to perform an in-place recovery for the fatal system error. The device performs the in-place recovery, including pausing the execution of a virtual machine (VM) by the first instance of the host OS, preserving a state of the VM within system memory of the computer system, and resuming the execution of the VM by a second instance of the host OS executing in the computer system based on the state of the VM that is preserved within the system memory of the computer system.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide for determining user input of a presentation. Specifically, aspects disclosed herein provide differentiating between interacting with selectable objects within a slide and scrolling between slides, editing a selectable object within a slide, scrolling between slides, viewing off slide content, zooming out from a slide view, and zooming in to a slide view.

Merged experience of reading and editing with seamless transition

An online system receives information describing a collection of objects associated with a third-party system and an objective associated with each object. Upon receiving a request to present content associated with the third-party system to a user of the online system, the online system determines one or more groups in which each object is included based on a condition satisfied by objects included in each group. For each of multiple formats that may be used to present each group of objects, the online system computes a format score indicating a predicted likelihood that the user will perform a set of actions corresponding to a set of objectives associated with the group if the format is used. The online system selects a format for presenting each group of objects based on the format scores and/or a set of format selection rules and generates the user interface using the selected format(s).

Selecting an optimal format for presenting a group of objects associated with a third-party system in a graphical user interface

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine user input that was provided to authenticate a user, the user input including a plurality of characters. A first input delay pattern corresponding to the user input is determined. A determination is made that the first input delay pattern satisfies an input delay pattern corresponding to a password for a user account. The user is then authenticated.

Systems and methods for authenticating users

One or more embodiments of the disclosure include systems and methods that generate and utilize digital visual codes in electronic payment transactions. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods generate digital visual codes that embed information regarding a user account of a payor (i.e., a user account of the payor within a social networking system). In one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods display the digital visual codes via a payor computing device, scan the digital visual codes via a payee computing device, and send an identifier of the payor to the social networking system based on scanning the digital visual codes. The social networking system then utilizes the identifier to identify the payor, send and receive confirmation from the payor, and finalize the payment transaction between the payor and the payee.

Generating and utilizing user identifying digital visual codes in electronic payment transactions

The method also includes based on the captured image, identifying a domain associated with the graphical content. The method also includes based on the captured image, identifying a sub-part of the domain associated with the textual content. The method also includes identifying a digital destination based on the identified domain and the identified sub-part. The method also includes performing an action based on the digital destination. Other embodiments of this aspect include corresponding computer systems, apparatus, and computer programs recorded on one or more computer storage devices, each configured to perform the actions of the methods.

System and method for determination of a digital destination based on a multi-part identifier

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) using a lowered or an adjustable negative transconductance (&#x2212;g) compared to conventional VCOs. This &#x2212;gdegeneration technique suppresses the noise injected into an inductor-capacitor (LC) tank of the VCO, thereby providing lower signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for a given VCO voltage swing, lower power consumption, and decreased phase noise. One example VCO generally includes a resonant tank circuit, an active negative transconductance circuit connected with the resonant tank circuit, and a bias current circuit for sourcing or sinking a bias current through the resonant tank circuit and the active negative transconductance circuit to generate an oscillating signal. The active negative transconductance circuit includes cross-coupled transistors and an impedance connected between the cross-coupled transistors and a reference voltage.

Systems and methods are provided for displaying and presenting content. When presenting content in real time, contextual-zoom-focus and/or dynamic-zoom-focus may be placed on selected portions of the content. For example, the content may be zoomed and the selected portions of content may be repositioned to a central area of a display. Additionally, context may be maintained for the selected portions of content by at least partially displaying nearby content. In some cases, portions of content may be displayed in a progressive manner along a selected display path. Accordingly, context for the portions of content may be maintained along the display path. In some cases, placing contextual-zoom-focus and/or dynamic-zoom-focus on portions of content may be animated and the portions of content may perceptively zoom and glide into focus.

Content display with dynamic zoom focus

Technologies are described herein for providing a two-tier failover service. A request to access content by an application associated with an application identifier may be identified. A first record corresponding to the application identifier may be retrieved from a database information table. The first record may include a reference identifier, a database name of a database, and a failover value. A second record corresponding to the reference identifier may be retrieved from a server information table. The second record may include an indication of a first server computer as a primary server computer and an indication of a second server computer as a secondary server computer. A connection specification to either the first server computer or the second server computer may be generated based on the first record and the second record.

Low noise and low power voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) using transconductance (gm) degeneration

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for temperature-dependent adjustment of a resonant circuit, such as that found in a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). Such adjustment may be performed in an effort to compensate for the frequency drift of the resonant circuit due to temperature changes. One example adjustment circuit for temperature-dependent adjustment of a resonant circuit generally includes at least one varactor and two sets of semiconductor devices configured to apply, across the at least one varactor, a differential adjustment voltage based on an ambient temperature of the semiconductor devices to adjust a capacitance of the at least one varactor, wherein each device in the sets of semiconductor devices has a temperature-dependent junction and wherein the two sets of semiconductor devices are configured such that voltage changes of the temperature-dependent junctions in the two sets of semiconductor devices are added in the differential adjustment voltage.

Resonant circuit temperature compensation

An output portion of a charge pump receives control signals from a phase frequency detector and in response outputs positive current pulses and negative current pulses to a loop filter. A current control portion of the charge pump controls the output portion such that the magnitudes of the positive and negative current pulses are the same. Within the current control portion there is a 'Charge Pump Output Voltage Replica Node' (CPOVRN). The voltage on this CPOVRN is maintained to be the same as a voltage on the charge pump output node. A capacitor leakage compensation circuit indirectly senses the voltage across a leaking capacitor of the loop filter by sensing the voltage on the CPOVRN. The compensation circuit imposes the sensed voltage across a replica capacitor, mirrors a current leaking through the replica, and supplies the mirrored current in the form of a compensation current to the leaking capacitor.

An application module generates a query that may involve retrieving data from a local data storage source or from an external data storage source. The application module retrieves metadata to form a query tree stored in the local data storage source and uses the query tree to ascertain one or more sub-queries necessary to complete the query and whether the necessary data for each sub-query is stored locally or externally. Based on the location of the data to complete a sub-query, the application module uses the services of an internal query processing layer if external data is involved for the sub-query. The application module uses the services of a query processing layer in the local data storage source if the data is local. Once all the sub-queries associated with the query tree are performed, then the overall query results are returned to the application module.
