The reputation score is calculated using a coefficient of correlation for the quality score, and a coefficient of correlation for the latency score and a coefficient of correlation of the CTR score. The highest possible weight is given to the quality score while retaining maximum sensitivity to changes in latency and/or CTR scores.

An image of a region of interest (ROI) is generated by a radar system including a set of one or more antennas. The radar system has unknown position perturbations. Pulses are transmitted, as a source signal, to the ROI using the set of antennas at different positions and echoes are received, as a reflected signal, by the set of antennas at the different positions. The reflected signal is deconvolved with the source signal to produce deconvolved data. The deconvolved data are compensated according a coherence between the reflected signal to produce compensated data. Then, a procedure is applied to the compensated data to produce reconstructed data, which are used to reconstruct auto focused images.

A method for tile-based rendering of content. Content may be rendered in a memory region organized as multiple tiles. In scenarios in which content is generated in layers, for operations that involve compositing image layers, an order in which portions of the image are processed may be selected to reduce the aggregate number of memory accesses times, which in turn may improve the performance of a computer that uses tile-based rendering. An image may be processed such that operations relating to rendering portions of different layers corresponding to the same tile are performed sequentially. Such processing may be used in a computer with a graphics processing unit that supports tile-based rendering, and may be particularly well suited for computers with a slate form factor. An interface to a graphics processing utility within the computer may provide a flag to allow an application to specify whether operations may be reordered.
