Abstract: Techniques are described for providing fast convergence in the event of a link failure in an all-active multi-homed Ethernet virtual private network. A provide edge (PE) network device may pre-configure an interface next hop and secondary next hops. The secondary next hops may be logical links to other PE network devices in the same Ethernet segment. In the event of a link failure in the interface next hop between the PE network device and a customer edge (CE) network device, the PE network device may be configured to forward data traffic to the CE network device using the secondary next hops. In the event of a link failure between the PE network device and a core network, the PE network device may be configured to send an out-of-service message to the CE network device that instructs the CE network device to stop sending traffic to the PE network device.

Abstract: A device may receive, from a first device associated with a first LAN, network traffic destined for a second LAN. The device may provide the first LAN with access to a core network. The device may not provide the second LAN with access to the core network. The device may identify, based on the network traffic, a Layer 3 address associated with a second device. The second device may be associated with the second LAN. The device may determine that the first device is categorized as a leaf device within an Ethernet Tree provided by the device. The device may determine, based on the Layer 3 address, that the second device is categorized as a leaf device within the Ethernet Tree. The device may drop the network traffic based on determining that the first device and the second device are categorized as leaf devices within the Ethernet Tree.

Abstract: Methods include determining an amount of vitamin D analyte in a sample suspected of containing the vitamin D analyte. A combination is provided in an assay medium that includes the sample, a vitamin D epimer antibody that is specific for epimers of the vitamin D analyte wherein the vitamin D epimer antibody does not bind to any detectable degree to the vitamin D analyte, and a vitamin D antibody that is specific for the vitamin D analyte, and. The assay medium is incubated under conditions for binding of the vitamin D epimer antibody to the epimers of the vitamin D analyte and for binding of the vitamin D antibody to the vitamin D analyte to form a vitamin D antibody-bound complex. The amount of vitamin D antibody-bound complex is determined and related to the amount of vitamin D analyte in the sample.

Abstract: A provider edge (PE) device may receive an indication to perform a designated forwarder (DF) election associated with a network segment that includes the PE device, one or more other PE devices, and a client edge (CE) device. The PE device, the one or more other PE devices, and the CE device may be associated with an Ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) that includes a group of EVPN instances (EVIs). The PE device may perform the DF election in order to determine election information associated with the PE device. The election information may include information associated with a particular EVI, of the group of EVIs, for which the PE device is to act as a DF. The PE device may provide the election information to the CE device to cause the CE device to provide traffic, associated with a particular VLAN included in the particular EVI, to the PE device.

Abstract: Accurate measurements of the presence or absence of an analyte (e.g., MRSA) in a sample are provided. For example, the sample can be subjected to an activation reagent (potentially after an initial reagent has already been added), which can cause a flash signal that increases and then decreases over time. Signal data points can be measured from the flash signal using a detector. A quadratic regression function that fits the signal data points can be determined. An accuracy of the quadratic fit can be determined, as well as a signal-to-background ratio. A difference between a signal-to-background term and an accuracy term can be used as a score that is compared to a threshold to determine whether the analyte is present in the sample.

Abstract: In one example, a method includes configuring a first provider edge (PE) router of a Provider Backbone Bridging (PBB) Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) to join an Ethernet Segment in active-active mode with at least a second PE router that is operating as a designated forwarder for the Ethernet Segment; receiving, by the first PE router from a remote PE router and prior to the first PE router performing Media Access Control (MAC) learning of a customer-MAC (C-MAC) address that is reachable via a backbone-MAC (B-MAC) address associated with the Ethernet Segment, a network packet that includes the C-MAC address; and in response to determining that the C-MAC address has not been learned by the first PE router and the B-MAC address included in the network packet is associated with the Ethernet Segment, forwarding, by the first PE router, the network packet to a destination identified by the C-MAC address.

Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: Antibodies are raised against compounds of Formula (I) where Z is an immunogenic carrier. These compounds are capable of binding specifically to corresponding antibodies. The antibodies are specific for epimers of vitamin D. Antibodies in accordance with the principles described herein may be employed to minimize or eliminate 3-epimer cross-reactivity in assays for non-epimeric forms of vitamin D analytes. Over-estimation of total non-epimeric vitamin D analyte caused by the cross-reactivity of 3-epimer vitamin D with an antibody for vitamin D analyte can be substantially avoided employing, as blocking agents, antibodies prepared against immunogens that are a compound of the Formula (I) wherein Z is an immunogenic carrier.

Abstract: A method for assisting evaluation of anomalies in a distributed storage system is disclosed. The method includes a step of monitoring at least one system metric of the distributed storage system. The method further includes steps of maintaining a listing of patterns of the monitored system metric comprising patterns which previously did not result in a failure within one or more nodes of the distributed storage system, and, based on the monitoring, identifying a pattern (i.e., a time series motif) of the monitored system metric as a potential anomaly in the distributed storage system. The method also includes steps of automatically (i.e. without user input) performing a similarity search to determine whether the identified pattern satisfies one or more predefined similarity criteria with at least one pattern of the listing, and, upon positive determination, excepting the identified pattern from being identified as the potential anomaly.

Abstract: An end user application running on a computer, for the purpose of collaborative modification of shared electronic documents, is configured to provide a graphical user interface that facilitates interactively and collaboratively modifying an electronic document. This graphical user interface includes a graphical element that conveys to an end user both sharing status information and editing status information for the currently accessed electronic document. The graphical element can take any of a number of different forms, such that each different form represents a different combination of the current sharing state and current co-authoring state of the currently accessed electronic document. Through input devices of the end user computer, an end user can manipulate this graphical element. In response to certain manipulations of the graphical element, the end user computer is configured to present further detailed information about such status and to receive further inputs from a user to change such status.
