Abstract: In an approach for a smart reading assistant that helps users learn to read a new language, a processor detects a language of a digital book opening by a user on a computing device. A processor identifies a user reading capability level for the language of the digital book from a user profile for the user. A processor inputs at least one in context meaning of potential unknown words based on the user reading capability level. A processor detects a user action by the user on the computing device. A processor updates the user reading capability level based on the user action. A processor identifies, using collocation extraction, related words to a word involved in the user action. A processor inputs at least one in context meaning of at least one of the related words.

Abstract: An edge server of a distributed edge compute and routing service receives a tunnel connection request from a tunnel client residing on an origin server, that requests a tunnel be established between the edge server and the tunnel client. The request identifies the hostname that is to be tunneled. An IP address is assigned for the tunnel. DNS record(s) are added or changed that associate the hostname with the assigned IP address. Routing rules are installed in the edge servers of the distributed edge compute and routing service to reach the edge server for the tunneled hostname. The edge server receives a request for a resource of the tunneled hostname from another edge server that received the request from a client, where the other edge server is not connected to the origin server. The request is transmitted from the edge server to the origin server over the tunnel.

Abstract: An edge server receives a plurality of requests from a client network application for actions to be performed on a resource that is hosted at an origin server. The edge server determines request attributes of the requests and associates the request attributes with a session identifying the client network application. The edge server generates a confidence value for the client network application based at least on the determined request attributes of the plurality of requests and computed session metrics of the session. When the confidence value indicates that the client network application is malicious, the edge server performs one or more mitigation actions.

Abstract: In a stacked waveguide assembly, the waveguides can comprise color filters, distributed filters, and/or switch materials. Examples of color filters include dyes, tints, or stains. Examples of distributed filters and/or switch materials include dichroic filters, Bragg gratings, electronically switchable glass, and electronically switchable mirrors. Switch materials can be designed or tuned to attenuate light of unwanted colors or wavelengths. The waveguides may each be associated with a particular design wavelength. This can mean that a waveguide that is associated with a design wavelength includes an incoupling optical element is configured to deflect light at the design wavelength to an associated light distributing element and that the associated wavelength selective region is configured to attenuate light not at the design wavelength.

Abstract: A browser receives a web page that includes a script that is configured to control subsequent requests of the browser for at least the web page and caches a first portion of the web page that includes reference(s) to other web resource(s). A subsequent request for the web page is dispatched to the script which returns the cached first portion of the web page to the browser and a request for the full web page is made. Request(s) are also transmitted for the web resource(s) referenced in the first portion of the web page without waiting for the full web page to be received. When the full web page is received, if the first portion of the page matches the corresponding portion of the full page, that corresponding portion is removed from the full page and the remaining page is returned to the browser.

Abstract: A DNS name server manages CNAME records. The server receives a query for a first Address record for a fully qualified domain name from a requester. The server determines that the fully qualified domain name has a CNAME record, where the fully qualified domain name is a root domain.

The server generates a response to the query that includes a third Address record for the fully qualified domain name that includes at least the IP address of the located second Address record. The server transmits the generated response to the requester.
