Abstract: A novel computerized method for authenticating a client computer is disclosed. The method for authenticating the client computer does not utilize any stored usernames, passwords, or tokens. The process stores a series of algorithmic functions on the client computer. When the user desires to login to a server computer the server computer provides multiple sets of variables to the client computer. The variables are input into the algorithmic functions. The functions generate an output. The output is sent to the server computer. The server computer utilizes the client generated output to authenticate the client device. Each time the user desires to login different variables are utilized to prevent prediction and hacking of the system.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a persistent integration platform for conducting a multichannel resource transfer. In particular, the system may utilize a multi-step and multilayered authentication process across multiple disparate computing systems to complete the resource transfer process. In some embodiments, the system may utilize a persistent element which may be accessed by the user across multiple devices which aids in the resource transfer. For instance, the resource transfer process may be started on a first computing system, which may be a stationary networked terminal. At this point, a record of the resource transfer may be created within the persistent element. The user may thereafter access the persistent element through a second computing system, such as a user device, to resume the resource transfer and complete the remaining steps as necessary.

Abstract: A central database maintains values for client publishing devices or application processes executing locally with a database server process or remotely on a different device. Updates may be made by receiving, from a publishing application, an update to a statistic value in a database. The update may include: an indication to process the update as an accumulation update to the statistic value, an accumulation value to apply, and an indication of a key value pair to identify the statistic value to update. Upon receipt, a database server process may obtain access control as appropriate, obtain a current value for the update, apply the accumulation value to the current value, and store the result value as the new statistic value. Updates may be made by client publishers without client publishers being aware of a current value of the statistic. The statistic may represent a network wide operational parameter.

Abstract: A content management system allows users to collaboratively edit, draft, or otherwise work with the same content item simultaneously by displaying a real-time data stream of a native application displaying a content item on a host device in a screen sharing window of a webpage. The screen sharing window is capable of receiving edit inputs and sending the edit inputs to a client application on the host device. The edit inputs are provided as interpretable code for the native application for the content item and the client application provides the interpretable code to the native application to have the changes corresponding to the edit inputs incorporated into the content item. Further, the cursors of other users participating in the collaborative editing session are displayed in the screen sharing window to allow each participant to view and follow the changes made by the other participants of the session.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to control computing resource utilization of monitoring agents. An example method includes instructing a monitoring agent of a compute node to perform a first monitoring operation associated with a first monitoring level. In response to the first monitoring operation returning a first result that is outside of an acceptable threshold, a second monitoring level is identified. The second monitoring level is associated with a second monitoring operation that is allocated more computing resources than the first monitoring operation associated with the first monitoring level.

Abstract: A technology is described for distributing a publication message. An example method may include receiving a message at a first device gateway to broadcast to devices subscribed to a broadcast topic. The first device gateway maintains a first subscription table indicating which devices connected to the first device gateway are subscribed to the broadcast topic. The first device gateway distributes the message to the devices indicated in the first subscription table as being subscribed to the broadcast topic. In addition, the first device gateway may distribute the message to a second device gateway which maintains a second subscription table indicating which devices connected to the second device gateway are subscribed to the broadcast topic, and the second device gateway distributes the message to the devices indicated in the second subscription table as being subscribed to the broadcast topic.

Abstract: An audio distribution system includes a first playback device with a first clock time, and a second playback device with a second clock time. A wireless access point is wirelessly coupled to the first and second playback devices. The second playback device sends a time request to the first playback device via the wireless access point. The first playback device responds to the time request by sending a time response to the second playback device via the wireless access point. The second playback device calculates an update to the second clock time based on the time response, a first physical transmission rate between the second playback device and the wireless access point, and a second physical transmission rate between the first playback device and the wireless access point. The second playback device uses the update to the second clock time to playback audio in synchrony with the first playback device.

Abstract: Improving the multi-site software update for extension switches by automatically assigning extension switches at each data center with a role and then providing state messages between the extension switches to stage software update operations between the various extension switches that are involved. This allows the network administrator to commence the software update process on the extension switches at each data center without waiting for any extension switch to complete operations. The extension switches communicate with each other and the software update process completes automatically, with all extension switches at all data centers updated without further network administrator input.

Abstract: A request input indicative of a request to deploy computing resources in a target server farm is received, and a fixed increment of the computing resources to be removed from a source server farm and deployed in the target server farm is identified. The fixed increment of computing resources is removed from the source server farm, and deployed to the target server farm. Based on deploying the fixed increment of computing resources to the target server farm, it is determined whether the target server farm has deployed adequate resource capacity to service a fixed increment of databases. If so, the fixed increment of databases is moved from the source server farm to the target server farm, and, if not, additional computing resources is reassigned from the source server farm to the target server farm.
