Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to automatically creating customized whiteboard backgrounds. A network system accesses metadata associated with a virtual presentation (e.g., title, topic, tenant identifier). First image data is identified based on first data of the metadata and second image data is identified based on second data of the metadata. Using the first image data and the second image data, the network system generates a plurality of whiteboard backgrounds by combining a first object obtained from the first image data with a second object obtained from the second image data to form each whiteboard background. The network system then causes presentation of a representation of each of the plurality of whiteboard backgrounds on a user interface of a host, who can select one of the representations. In response to receiving a selection, a whiteboard background corresponding to the selected representation is displayed as background on a whiteboard canvas.

Abstract: Clock generation circuit generating multiple divided signals satisfying respective desired offsets. A phase locked loop (PLL) is used to generate a PLL output having a frequency which is a desired multiple of that of a reference clock. The circuit divides the PLL output by a corresponding divisor to generate a corresponding divided signal, wherein each divided signal is offset from a common reference by at least an associated desired time offset. The common reference is timed with respect to the reference clock when the reference clock is available and with respect to a time reference signal otherwise. This arrangement is extended to use the internal time reference signal even for the cases where the reference clock is present by blocking the reference clock while the output systems across PLLs are aligned using the internal time reference signal to ensure desired offsets across different PLLs with a small uncertainty.

Abstract: The updating of a definition layer or schema for a large distributed database can be accomplished using a plurality of data store tiers. A distributed database can be made up of many individual data stores, and these data stores can be allocated across a set of tiers based on business logic or other allocation criteria. The update can be applied sequentially to the individual tiers, such that only data stores for a single tier are being updated at any given time. This can help to minimize downtime for the database as a whole, and can help to minimize problems that may result from an unsuccessful update. Such an approach can also allow for simplified error detection and rollback, as well as providing control over a rate at which the update is applied to the various data stores of the distributed database.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for detecting timestamp discontinuities and video resolution discontinuities within a packet stream and marking locations of the detected discontinuities within the packet stream are described. Prior to transmission of the packet stream, an electronic device may perform timestamp discontinuity detection by acquiring a sequence of packets to be transmitted, identifying a first timestamp associated with an earliest packet within the sequence of packets, identifying a second timestamp associated with a latest packet within the sequence of packets, determining a timestamp time difference between the first timestamp and the second timestamp, determining a maximum chunk time difference based on a data rate at which the sequence of packets were encoded and a data size of the encoded packets, and detecting that a timestamp discontinuity exists within the sequence of packets if the timestamp time difference is greater than the maximum chunk time difference.

Abstract: Cross-service usage is dynamically enforced for different network-based services. A cross-service control system may accept requests to specify a usage quota for a client for an interface of a network-based service. A rule to enforce the usage quota may be distributed to request handling nodes for the service. Usage measurements may be collected from the request handling nodes for requests received from the client via the interface. An update to the usage quota may be determined from an evaluation of the usage measurements. The rule at the request handling nodes may be updated to enforce the updated usage quota.

Moreover, the first computing device is configured to determine a first number of customers waiting for service, determine a first number of associates available to assist the first number of customers, and determine an expected wait time for the user operating the second computing device based at least on the current wait times. In some examples, the first number of customers waiting for service, and the first number of associates available. Further, the first computing device is configured to transmit the expected wait time to the second computing device.

Abstract: Temporary firmware is provided as cloud services. Different temporary firmware containers are downloaded via a communications network. A light-weight operating system launches and executes the temporary firmware containers during a boot operation, POST operation, or other scheme. The temporary firmware containers thus detect and perhaps resolve POST errors. The light-weight operating system may also download a full-service/resource operating system. A second or subsequent boot operation may be performed, but control is ceded to the full-service/resource operating system. Multiple firmware tenants may thus be temporarily downloaded to a bare metal machine to support POST error detection activities. Advanced OS serviceability, diagnostics, and other containerized firmware may thus be quickly and simply launched without requiring the excessive time and difficulties of using the full-service/resource operating system.

Abstract: A multi-API security policy that covers multiple API calls of a transaction is dynamically enforced at runtime, without access to the specification or code of the APIs. Calls made to APIs of the transaction are logged, and the logs are read. Data objects used by the APIs are identified. Specific data labels are assigned to specific fields of the data objects, consistently identifying data fields of specific types. Linkages are identified between specific ones of the multiple APIs, based on the consistent identification of specific types of data fields. An API call graph is constructed, identifying a sequence of API calls made during the transaction. The call graph is used to enforce the security policy, by tracking the flow of execution of the multi-API transaction at runtime, and detecting actions that violate the security policy. Security actions are taken responsive to the detected actions that violate the policy.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method of sending data messages from an edge router at a first location of an enterprise network to a SaaS (software as a service) application server provided by a third-party at a second location. The method receives, from a DNS (domain name system) first server, a resolution for a particular destination network address for the SaaS application server at the second location. From a second server, the method obtains an identifier for a first cloud gateway from multiple cloud gateways at multiple locations through which the particular destination address for the SaaS application server can be reached, the first cloud gateway farther from the first location than a second cloud gateway in the multiple cloud gateways but closer to the second location than the second cloud gateway. The method uses an optimized SD-WAN connection to the first cloud gateway to forward data messages for the first cloud gateway to the SaaS application at the second location.
