Abstract: Integrating proxies within an integration environment can be implemented as a computer-implemented method. Deployment of integration content to integrate with a destination system having a destination system configuration is determined. The integration content has a destination configuration that is incompatible with the destination system configuration. In response to determining that the integration content has the destination configuration that is incompatible with the destination system configuration, the integration content is dynamically modified to integrate with a black box integration content having a black box source address and having a destination configuration as the destination system configuration. The modified integration content is integrated to the destination system through the generated black box integration content.

Abstract: Described herein is an example apparatus for skipping a portion of content during streaming of the content to a display device, where the portion is of little or no interest to the user. The apparatus includes a memory having a database stored therein. The database stores metadata relating to the content. The metadata includes an index, where the index stores pointers to portions of the content. The apparatus includes a processor that is communicatively coupled to the memory. In operation, the processor streams the content for display on the display device. When the processor determines an end of a teaser portion has been reached in the stream of the content to the display device, it enables a skip command. Responsive to enabling the skip command, the processor receives command input from the user to skip a title sequence/opening credits portion of the content.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a first computing device detects a loss of a connection to a first source of timing information that the first computing device and a second computing device use to maintain synchronization with a first clock and a second clock. The first computing device receives a second source of timing information from the second computing device. The second source of timing information is also being transmitted to a third computing device. The first computing device uses the second source of timing information to determine a first timestamp and determines a second timestamp from the first clock. The first computing device uses the first timestamp and the second timestamp to adjust a rate of the first clock where the first clock is used to transmit the second source of timing information from the second computing device to the third computing device.

In this manner, a user participating in a messaging conversation with a remote user can add stickers, animations, and/or adaptive content to an image captured by the user, without having to locally cache/store the captured image before editing and without having to leave the messaging conversion (or the messaging application) to access an image editing application.

Abstract: An information handling system has an abstraction layer that may receive a request from an agent to import a configuration setting to a first client device with a first operating system, wherein the configuration setting is associated with a user identifier. If the first operating system and a second operating system are different, then first configuration data may be transmitted to the translation layer, wherein the first configuration data is associated with the second operating system. A translation layer may receive the first configuration data from the abstraction layer, translate the a second configuration data based on the first configuration data to a translated configuration setting; and transmit an instruction associated with the translated configuration setting to an agent command layer. The agent command layer may transmit the instruction to the agent to replicate the second configuration setting of the second client device on the first client device.

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.

Abstract: Disclosed techniques provide a view and edit function to simultaneously view and edit multiple network device configurations. The techniques may include, parsing a plurality of different network device configuration documents (e.g., files representative of configuration settings). Parsing may then identify a set of slots and anchor points relative to locations of related parameter settings within each of the different network device configuration documents (e.g., a document per device). The slots may indicate a type of parameter setting and the anchor points indicating a relative location within a specific device configuration representative document. As a user makes a change to a parameter value, at least two files of the different network device configuration documents within a scope of an editing session may be identified to receive the change. Reverse mapping may be provided (e.g., by slots and anchor points) to properly implement this change for each different device.
