  • Patent number: 11496606
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide novel inline switches that distribute data messages from source compute nodes (SCNs) to different groups of destination service compute nodes (DSCNs). In some embodiments, the inline switches are deployed in the source compute nodes datapaths (e.g., egress datapath). The inline switches in some embodiments are service switches that (1) receive data messages from the SCNs, (2) identify service nodes in a service-node cluster for processing the data messages based on service policies that the switches implement, and (3) use tunnels to send the received data messages to their identified service nodes. Alternatively, or conjunctively, the inline service switches of some embodiments (1) identify service-nodes cluster for processing the data messages based on service policies that the switches implement, and (2) use tunnels to send the received data messages to the identified service-node clusters.

  • Patent number: 11477266
    Abstract: A data communication system generates Artificial Intelligence (AI) responses to distributed ledger data. In the data communication system, ledger clients discover distributed ledgers and establish hardware-trust with the distributed ledgers. The ledger clients discover AI engines and establish hardware-trust with the AI engines. The ledger clients read ledger information from the top data blocks of the distributed ledgers and select top-block ledger information. The ledger clients select AI engines to receive the selected top-block ledger information and transfer the selected ledger information to the selected AI engines. The selected AI engines process the selected top-block ledger information and generate the AI responses.

  • Patent number: 11258755
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer readable storage medium for processing coherent data are provided. In an embodiment, a method for processing coherent data includes dividing the coherent data into two separate frames. Further, the method includes applying a same coherency number to the two separate frames and transmitting a signal including the two separate frames to a receiving module. The method also includes determining whether the two separate frames match based on the same coherency number. When the two separate frames match, the method outputs the two separate frames to downstream logic. The method may include adding the two separate frames to a buffer populated with a selected number of most recently received frames and, when the two separate frames do not match, identifying a selected frame from the two separate frames and searching the buffer for a matching frame from the most recently received frames.

  • Patent number: 11252102
    Abstract: A device transmits a request to access image data stored in a cloud and then receives an access path to the image data. If the image data are in a first data format, the device reads the image data via the access path, converts them into the second data format, and stores the converted image data in the cloud. It also modifies the access path according to a modification rule and stores the modified access path in the cloud. If the image data are in the second data format, the device either always reads the image data in the second data format via the access path or checks whether a special instruction has been defined. On the basis of the special instruction, the device either reads the image data in the second data format via the access path or remodifies the access path using the modification rule.

  • Patent number: 11184451
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for handling notifications. A notification system monitors content (e.g., photograph) followed by a user for updates on a communication system. If the notification system identifies updates to content out of the monitored content, then the notification system applies the policy for delivering notifications concerning the content followed by the user that was updated. The notification system registers to receive information about updates to the content followed by the user as well as new events on the communication system. In response to identifying updates to content related to the content followed by the user that was updated from the received information, a summary concerning the updates to the content followed by the user and the related content is then generated. A notification is then delivered to the user containing the generated summary in a manner consistent with the policy.

  • Patent number: 11159343
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for configuring managed forwarding elements (MFEs) to handle data messages for multiple logical networks that are implemented in a data center at the MFEs and to provide gateway service processing (e.g., firewall, DNS, etc.). A controller, in some embodiments, identifies logical networks implemented in the datacenter and MFEs available to provide gateway service processing and assigns gateway service processing for each logical network to a particular MFE. The MFEs, in some embodiments, receive data messages from endpoints in the logical networks that are destined for an external network. In some embodiments, the MFEs identify that the data messages require gateway service processing before being sent to the external network. The MFEs, in some embodiments, identify a particular MFE that is assigned to provide the gateway service processing for logical networks associated with the data messages.
