  • Publication number: 20210133181
    Abstract: Implementations store an event associated with a topic in a database to allow for the event to be transmitted in order with respect to other events associated with the topic which are stored in the database. A commit of a transaction is performed that includes inserting the event's payload in a record in a database object. After the commit, a field for the record is updated with an identifier of the commit. The identifier and identifiers of other commits of other transactions on the database indicate ordering of the commit with respect to the other commits Another field of another record is updated based on the identifier and a last stored value such that the payloads of the event and of the other events are retrievable to be transmitted in an order based on the value of the other field and values of other fields of other records.

  • Publication number: 20210133180
    Abstract: Implementations are described for selectively publishing an event responsive to an operation on a database in a transaction. Publishing the event is delayed or not delayed respectively, responsive to determining that a value of an attribute for the event indicates that publishing the event is to be delayed, or not to be delayed, until the transaction is rolled back or committed. If publishing the event is delayed, the event is published if the transaction is committed and discarded if the transaction is rolled back. If publishing the event is not delayed, the event is published. Optionally, if the event is published, the event is published in a database or a datastore respectively, responsive to determining whether another value of another attribute for the event indicates that the event is to be published in a database or a datastore.

  • Publication number: 20210136166
    Abstract: Implementations are described which provide for recipient-based filtering of an event that relates to a topic to which consumers are subscribed. Responsive to determining that an attribute of the event includes a set of one or more identifiers for intended recipients for the event, the event is delivered to consumers that correspond to the intended recipients. Alternatively, responsive to determining that the attribute of the event does not include a set of one or more identifiers for intended recipients for the event, the event is delivered to all of the consumers subscribed to the topic to which the event relates.

  • Patent number: 10999138
    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for remotely monitoring, controlling, and/or adjusting configuration settings related to network access points located within a rental property. In some implementations, rental data that indicates a property that has been rented for a specified rental period is received. Sensor data collected by one or more sensors of the property during the specified rental period is obtained. A current occupancy of the property during the specified rental period is determined from the sensor data. Network data indicating network activity over a network access point of the property is obtained during the specified rental period. The network access point is configured during the specified rental period based at least on the network activity indicated by the network data and the current occupancy determined for the property from the sensor data.

  • Patent number: 10999445
    Abstract: A distributed sensor network that utilizes the cabling infrastructure installed for a Distributed Antenna System (“DAS”) to collect environmental data about a building. In this sensor network, an array of sensors are placed in line with the DAS communication cabling so that additional cabling is not required. The sensors use “out of band” frequencies or low level signaling so as to not interfere with the DAS signals to communicate the sensor data to the DAS head-unit.

  • Patent number: 10997260
    Abstract: A moderation framework monitors content posted in a database network and uses a declarative configuration scheme that defines moderation rules without having to write new software. A user interface operated by the moderation platform allows selection of different user criteria and different content criteria for triggering the moderation rules. The user interface also provides selectable actions for the moderation rules to apply when the content matches the selected user and content criteria. The user interface also allows selection of different entities for associating with different moderation rules, such as accounts, cases, opportunities, Chatter® feed posts, or custom objects defined by customers.

  • Publication number: 20210126885
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments are related to send time optimization technologies for sending messages to users. The send time optimization technologies provide personalized recommendations for sending messages to individual subscribers taking into account the delay and/or lag between the send time and the time when a subscriber engages with a sent message. A machine learning (ML) approach is used to predict the optimal send time to send messages to individual subscribers for improving message engagement. The personalized recommendations are based on unique characteristics of each user's engagement preferences and patterns, and deals with historical feedback that is generally incomplete and skewed towards a small set of send hours. The ML approach automatically discovers hidden factors underneath message and send time engagements. The ML model may be a two-layer non-linear matrix factorization model. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Patent number: 10992740
    Abstract: Described is a system that improves the performance of brokers that store partitions of data within a distributed data streaming platform by performing an efficient data redistribution process. The system may obtain data (e.g. metadata) describing the distribution storage partitions amongst storage brokers and determine the current (or initial) distribution may negatively impact the performance of the platform. Accordingly, the system may perform an efficient redistribution by performing a particular sequence of partition reassignments amongst brokers.
