Abstract: An enterprise platform may retrieve, from a collaboration data store, information about a selected enterprise team. The enterprise platform may then transmit, from a set of integration tools to a workflow tool of a remote cloud-based environment, a data payload including a notification request associated with a channel. The enterprise platform may also transmit, from a runtime environment to a business communication platform of the cloud-based environment, a request to post a notification to the channel and arrange for a member of the selected enterprise team to receive an adaptive information card, pushed by the business communication platform via the channel, containing information associated with at least one of the integration tools. The member who receives the adaptive information card may also, via selection of a graphical icon on the card, respond to the business communication platform via bi-directional communication.

Abstract: A buffering system attached to a memory for holding write-once, read-once data that is accessed by one or more peripheral devices. Data that is otherwise destined to be written to main memory is written, instead, into a storage buffer. The buffer is written using an address contained in a write pointer that is updated according to a predetermined pattern after the write operation. After updating the write pointer, if the address equals the read pointer, some or all of the buffer is flushed to the memory. Data is read from the buffer using an address contained in a read pointer that is updated according to the same predetermined pattern after the read operation. Any deviation from the pattern in either writing or reading the buffer causes the some or all of the buffer to be flushed to main memory and the read pointer to be updated accordingly.
