Abstract: A system and method for providing store and forward messaging on a partitioned cache provided by a distributed data grid. The store and forward message system implements publish and subscribe semantics in a way that distributed messages over the partitions of the distributed cache, reduces contention and makes efficient use of processor and network resources.

Abstract: In a distributed data processing and deduplication system comprising a plurality of clients and servers, a traditional client library on each client is replaced by a small kernel library and a separate client library which may be either on the client or on a separate server. The kernel library receives an initialization API call from an application on the client, determines the appropriate version of the client library for that application, and directs the initialization call to that client library. The client library returns to the kernel library a list of function pointers to code that implements functions called by the application, and dynamically redirects function API calls from the application to the code. By storing the client library at one central location and updating that one version for changes to hardware and software, multiple client systems may be updated automatically upon initialization to use the new version of the client library.

Abstract: A closed loop processing interaction network in which the resource pool source of the user and the resource pool destination are both within the same organization or group of organizations. As such, resources associated with interactions may be distributed directly between the resource pools. The interactions may occur through communication between user computer systems (e.g., mobile devices, or the like) and/or interaction terminals of product providers (e.g., mobile devices, or the like). The interaction terminals of the product providers may create and allow for the use of interaction zones, which allows for the identification of users that are a part of the interaction network, allows users to receive specialized offers, allows for direct transfer of resources within an organization that by-pass traditional resource processing. The closed loop interaction network improves the processing speeds, memory requirements, security, and costs associated with processing resources related to interactions.

Abstract: A respective VPN routing table for each of a plurality of VPNs can be stored on a client device. The client device can access a first VPN routing table and, using the first VPN routing table, establish a first VPN tunnel to a first VPN. The first VPN can be a first subnetwork assigned a particular network prefix. While the first VPN tunnel is currently active, the client device can access a second VPN routing table and, using the second VPN routing table, establish a second VPN tunnel to the second VPN. The second VPN can be a second subnetwork assigned the same particular network prefix as the first subnetwork. While the first VPN tunnel and the second VPN tunnel are simultaneously active, the client device can communicate data to remote devices in the first VPN and the second VPN using the particular network prefix for both.

Abstract: An online system that recommends content to a user obtains a content item and receives limited interaction with the content item when it is obtained. The online system also maintains embeddings for various users based on interactions by the users with content presented to the users. Viewing users to whom the content item is presented and who performed one or more interactions with the content item are identified. Based on embeddings for the viewing users, the online system generates a content embedding for the content item. When the online system identifies a candidate user, the online system determines a similarity between the content embedding and an embedding of the viewing user and determines whether to recommend the content item to the candidate user based on the comparison.

Abstract: A network where FC and Ethernet storage traffic share the network. The network extends FC SAN storage attributes to Ethernet storage devices. The network is preferably formed of FC switches, so each edge switch acts as an FCoE FCF, with internal communications done using FC. IP packets are encapsulated in FC packets for transport. Preferably, either each outward facing switch port can be configured as an Ethernet or FC port, so devices can be connected as desired. Ethernet addresses of IP devices are discovered based on ARP requests and lookup misses. Once an ARP request is trapped, the source device's information is added to a local database and distributed within the network. If the destination device is not known, a network-specific fabric protocol is used to propagate the ARP request to the other switches. An ARP response is processed similarly to update the local database and to distribute the update.

Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for improving the performance of an imaging service that can assign an IP address. The imaging service can implement the DHCP protocol and assign other configuration parameters using the DHCP protocol. An IP address cache can also be employed to speed a subsequent IP address assignment by the imaging service.

The HA system may also include HA user interface devices for respective users within the structure. Each HA user interface device may be configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one of the HA operation devices to perform at least one HA operation and provide stored media content to the respective user. A designated HA user interface device from among the HA user interface devices may be configured to download media content from the cloud media content server, and push the downloaded media content to others of the HA user interface devices within the structure for storage so that the others of the HA user interface devices do not communicate with the cloud media content server relating to the downloaded media content.

Abstract: A notification framework and method that quickly sends invitations one device to another device to join devices to collaboration session. Devices may be provided with an application that enables a user to register with a registry service. The registry service is provided as a mechanism to enable delivery of a collaboration invitation and joining of participants in the collaborative session. Notification invitations containing a collaboration URL may then be forwarded via a push service to the invited registrants. Each invited registrant is then provided an option to accept invitation and automatically join the session with the user. In another example, the host user may “pass” or “share” a session to an invited registrant rather than having an invited registrant join a session.
