Abstract: The disclosed technology includes ranking entities in real-time to show the relative importance of those entities. The ranking is based on attributes of the entities that vary in real-time. An example of an entity is a process (e.g., an executing computer program) and the associated attributes can include the process' current CPU memory consumption. While the process runs, its CPU and memory consumption vary in real-time.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein enable a more efficient allocation of one or more shared network resources (e.g., bandwidth, memory, processor time, etc.) amongst a number of client devices based on media content data complexity and client device resource constraints in order to better manage perceptual playback quality of adaptive streaming content. In some implementations, a method includes aligning sequences of one or more temporal segments such that time boundaries of temporal segments across the sequences are in alignment; and, selecting segment representations for each temporal segment based on a combination of the sequence alignment and perceptual quality level values associated with available segment representations, such that a combination of resulting perceptual quality levels satisfies a joint quality criterion. Each sequence is associated with a respective one of a number of client devices sharing a network resource and an instance of a respective video stream.

Abstract: A Unified Data Repository (UDR) proxy obtains first subscriber data from a first UDR of a first network operator, second subscriber data from a second UDR of a second network operator, and third subscriber data from a third UDR of an enterprise. The UDR proxy stores the first subscriber data, the second subscriber data, and the third subscriber data locally.

Abstract: A wireless network system that provides for seamless roaming of client devices is described. The wireless network system includes a plurality of access points. One access point is designated as the primary access point that is responsible for handling encrypted communication with the client device. The primary access point has access to the necessary encryption key(s) for encrypted communication.

Abstract: An apparatus includes an input node, an output node, and successive butterfly elements connected between the input node and the output node. Each butterfly element includes a first branch and a second branch that are cross-coupled with each other and that perform, collectively, sample add and sample delay operations. Either the first branch or the second branch of each butterfly element performs a sample inversion, such that a pattern of the sample inversions across the butterfly elements encodes into the butterfly elements a pattern of negative and positive binary values of a particular row of a Prometheus Orthonormal Sets (PONS) matrix. As a result, the successive butterfly elements correlate input samples applied to the input node against the particular row of the PONS matrix as the input samples are shifted through the successive butterfly elements.
