Abstract: Embodiments of a device and method are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method of network device troubleshooting involves at a cloud server, assigning a troubleshooting task for troubleshooting a network device deployed at a customer site to an operator, at the cloud server, receiving data regarding an issue in the network device that is gathered by the operator at the customer site, and, at the cloud server, recommending a remedy action for the issue in the network device to the operator based on the data regarding the issue in the network device.
Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking a subject using radio-frequency identification (RFID). In an embodiment, an antenna array comprising a plurality of articulating brackets and a plurality of antennas is provided. Each of the articulating brackets is configured to move one of the plurality of antennas into a plurality of positions, and each of the antennas is configured to receive a RFID signal. In addition, a processor receives RFID data based on RFID signals received by the antennas of the antenna array, and determines a trajectory of a subject based on the RFID data. Based on the determined trajectory of the subject, the processor controls one or more of the articulating brackets to move one or more of the antennas into a position to track the subject.

Abstract: A method of choosing which undesired cell to destroy in a multi-cell fluorescent event includes detecting fluorescence of cells, converting photons detected in the fluorescence into an analog voltage output signal, and identifying at least two discernable peaks associated with the cells. By looking solely at properties measured within the multi-cell fluorescent event, a decision of which cell to target for elimination can be made. Using this method with large population sizes can result in an effective sex skewed product. The sex skewed product can, for example, be formed from bull semen which is then later used to inseminate cows which results in an increased likelihood of giving birth to female cattle.

Abstract: The platform is directed to various aspects of content transmission. The platform causes a viewing device to receive fragment-level metadata associated with a first fragment of content. The platform receives a request for a second fragment of the content, immediately subsequent to the first fragment of the content. The platform determines that the second fragment of the content is not stored at a content storage device at a time of receiving the request, and that the second fragment of the content is expected to be stored at the content storage device within a defined time period. Responsive to these determinations, the platform holds the received request for the defined time period. The platform determines, prior to expiration of the defined time period, that the second fragment of the content is stored at the content storage device, and transmits the second fragment of the content to the viewing device.
