Abstract: A system for detecting a root cause of an exception error in a task flow in a distributed network receives communication data exchanged among servers. The system determines whether each message is received by a respective server based on acknowledgement data that indicates whether each message is received by a respective server. The system determines the sequence of the messages communicated between the servers. The system determines that a first server has reported an exception error that indicated the first server did not receive a message from a second server. The system determines that the second server is associated with a root cause of the exception error in response to determining that the second server did not send the message to the first server.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for remotely viewing and authenticating/validating the contents of a safe deposit box (or safe) are provided. The apparatus and methods may include a safe deposit box including a locking internal cavity, a camera, a weight sensor, a light, a control circuit, and a communication circuit. After receiving a request to view the contents and authenticating a user, the safe deposit box may take still or motion pictures of the contents and weigh the contents and send the results to the user or a server. If the contents of the safe deposit box have changed an alert may be sent to the user or a server.

Abstract: Methods and systems for forming molybdenum layers on a surface of a substrate and structures and devices formed using the methods are disclosed. Exemplary methods include forming an underlayer prior to forming the molybdenum layer. The underlayer can be used to manipulate stress in the molybdenum layer and/or reduce a nucleation temperature and/or deposition temperature of a step of forming the molybdenum layer.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for cleaning or etching a molybdenum film or a molybdenum nitride film from an interior of a reaction chamber in a reaction system are disclosed. A remote plasma unit is utilized to activate a halide precursor mixed with an inert gas source to form a radical gas. The radical gas reacts with the molybdenum film or the molybdenum nitride film to form a by-product that is removed from the interior of the reaction chamber by a purge gas.

Abstract: A machine learning computing system for predicting a probability of success of an identified computing device error condition may include at least a first data repository storing a plurality of historic data records corresponding to one or more computing device error conditions and a second data repository storing a plurality of solutions to each of the computing device error conditions stored in the first data repository. A server is configured to receive a computing device error message from at least one computing center device and analyze the computing device error message to identify an associated error condition category. The server identifies at least two solutions to an associated error condition and predict a probability of success for each of the at least two solutions. The server then initiates at least one solution that has a greatest probability of success and updates the second data repository.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and a system for facilitating assessment on a pseudo coding platform. The method includes identifying a coding question and a program code answering the coding question. The method further includes identifying a logic in the program code. The method furthermore includes eliminating the logic from the program code to generate fillable blanks for a candidate to answer the coding question thereby creating a pseudo coding platform for assessment. Further, the method includes receiving an answer to the coding question from the candidate. The candidate enters the answer in the fillable blanks. Finally, the method includes assessing the answer using keyword matching techniques. It may be noted that the assessment includes at least an exact match assessment, a partial match assessment, and a keyword match assessment.

Abstract: Redox catalysts are provided for “low-temperature” methane partial oxidation in absence of gaseous oxidants. Methods of converting the methane to syngas using the catalysts are also provided. In some aspects, the conversion takes place at temperatures of about 400° C. to about 950° C. The methods can be used to convert methane to syngas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas. In some aspects, the methods are carried out in a fixed bed reactor with reverse flow.

Abstract: A system provides a listener application which can be notified about specific ports used by specific instances of a WebSocket application. A WebSocket application opens multiple dynamic ports in certain scenarios with a dynamic context. When an application is executed, a listener application is made aware of the context and port information. A system rewrites a reverse proxy configuration on the fly so that any request coming into the reverse proxy will read the change and assign the correct port. A notification to the listener is received across multiple nodes, and the configuration can be updated on all nodes based on the data provided in the configuration.

Abstract: During a Session Initiation Protocol dialog setup, a media gateway or container executes or initiates two or more applications that provide features during a conference call. The applications are applied to messages or data in the conference call based on a sequence order established during the setup of the conference call. The sequence order and the application identities are stored in a shared database. When a failure occurs during the conference call, the applications are reestablished in the reconstructed or reestablished conference call. The application reconstruction includes reinitiating the applications with the same sequence as previously established before the failure. As such, the user has the same features applied in the same way before and after the failure, which improves the systems performance and expected operation.

Abstract: As “call centers” continue to be replaced with omnichannel contact centers, managing a plurality of simultaneous media channels becomes more important. Contacting a customer on one channel and, at the customer or agent's request, initiating a second channel that delays the interaction will having limited acceptance and, in some jurisdictions, may be illegal. By nailing-up an agent half-communication with a number of channels, agents maintain a perpetual connection comprising an agent half-communication to a server, such as one serving as a media anchor point, share point, etc. The customer half-connection is established to a server and the agent, already connected, is joined. As a result, the customer experiences a greatly reduced delay between the time they answer and being greeted by an agent, regardless of the media type or types utilized.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods may enable a primary to add a co-applicant via phone number to initiate a three-way communication. The primary applicant and the co-applicant can submit their confidential content along with other inputs from their own device after biometric authentication. Consent to submit a final application can be taken separately from each applicant through biometric capabilities on their own personal devices. A chat-bot may orchestrate and collect information for application fulfillment in parallel from both the applicants. Confidential content of one applicant, such as a social security number, may be kept hidden from disclosure to a co-applicant. Interaction among applicants may be across one or more communication channels.
