Abstract: The disclosure provides a server, an electronic device, a server communication method, a device communication method, and a communication system. In loading of a communication system, in the case where an identifier of a timbre data and an instruction for loading the timbre data are transmitted from a mobile terminal to a server, the server acquires the timbre data corresponding to the identifier of the timbre data from a timbre DB, and transmits the timbre data together with the received instruction to a communication device (electronic musical instrument). In the electronic musical instrument, the received timbre data is stored to a work memory in response to the instruction received from the server.

Abstract: Techniques for recommending runbook operations during a runbook generation process are disclosed. A system recommends operations for including in the runbook based on attributes of a detected event. The system presents event attributes associated with the detected event to a user in a runbook generation interface. When the user selects an event attribute, the system presents a set of candidate runbook operations associated with the event attribute. Based on user selections of runbook operations to include in a runbook, the system generates and stores a template of the runbook in which the attribute values associated with the detected event are omitted. Upon execution of the runbook at a future time, the system, or a user, may populate the event attributes in the runbook with values that correspond to the future event of the same event type.

Abstract: Techniques for recommending runbook operations during a runbook generation process are disclosed. The system recommends operations for including in the runbook based on user activity. Generating operations of a runbook based on user activity generates a runbook that captures a user's behavior. The recommended operations may be different than any operations performed by the user. The recommended operations may be based in part on data sets accessed by the user frequently, periodically, or continuously.

Abstract: User identities can managed at an organization level, instead of across multiple individual resource accounts. In a resource provider environment, access to various resources and services may require users to have identities with specific resource accounts. Users can instead be associated with organization accounts, or virtual accounts that are not associated with specific resources or services. The organization accounts are attached at the appropriate location(s) in an organizational hierarchy. A user having an organization account can project the identity in any sub-account in the organization hierarchy. This can include any lower-level resource account, or can child accounts under a relevant branch of the hierarchy. A user can validate against the organization account, and receive access to the relevant service or resources using the identity projected in the corresponding resource account.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for ingesting and presenting a video with associated linked products and metadata as a unified actionable shopping experience may include accessing a video file, receiving information about an object, the information including a link to a merchant portal or web page through which the object may be purchased, combining the video file and information about the object into a social media post, and delivering the social media post to consumers.

Abstract: A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The client device accesses an acceleration server to receive a list of available tunnel devices. The requested content is partitioned into slices, and the client device sends a request for the slices to the available tunnel devices. The tunnel devices in turn fetch the slices from the data server, and send the slices to the client device, where the content is reconstructed from the received slices. A client device may also serve as a tunnel device, serving as an intermediate device to other client devices. Similarly, a tunnel device may also serve as a client device for fetching content from a data server. The selection of tunnel devices to be used by a client device may be in the acceleration server, in the client device, or in both.

The process can further include monitoring performance data associated with the delivery of the requested resource and updating the routing information for the cluster based on the performance data for use in processing subsequent requests from client computing devices in the cluster.

Abstract: In a method of moderating action requests and structured communications within an observation platform, in response to a request interaction a computer system sets up an action request regarding a structured communication in the observation platform. The computer system analyzes the action request with respect to context in the observation platform, where the context is one of user context in the observation platform and device context in the observation platform. The computer system analyzes the action request with respect to status in the observation platform, where the status is one of user status in the observation platform and device status in the observation platform. The computer system moderates an action in the observation platform with respect to the structured communication based on results of the context and status analyses.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to the processing of a safety-related user program for a safety control system. The generation of the machine code for the safety-related control takes place on a cloud computer. The data required for generating the machine code such as the source code data of the user program, are secured with a unique signature and transmitted to the cloud computer. The machine code is generated on the cloud computer from the transmitted data. A new signature is generated via the resultant data and the signature from the preceding step. The entire safety life cycle is also covered, since each step in the life cycle is automatically documented and may be clearly tracked at any time, and corruptions of a step may be detected.
