Abstract: An electronic device includes a device housing having a front side and a rear side, a first image capture device positioned on the front side, and a second image capture device positioned on the rear side. One or more processors of the electronic device cause, in response to user input received at a user interface requesting the second image capture device capture an image of an object, the first image capture device to capture another image of a user delivering the user input. The one or more processors then define an image orientation of the image of the object to be the same as another image orientation of the other image of the user.

Abstract: An anchor device for a cargo securement strap includes a frame configured to engage a mounting track. The anchor device further includes a hook receiver coupled to the frame. The hook receiver is configured to receive a hook of the cargo securement strap. The anchor device further includes a keeper coupled to the frame. The keeper includes a keeper body and at least one keeper finger extending from a side of the keeper body. The keeper is configured to move between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the at least one keeper finger contacts a bolt and the keeper body is positioned to retain the hook. In the second position, the keeper body is positioned to allow for removal of the hook from the hook receiver.
Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for deploying different virtual networks over several public cloud datacenters for different entities. For each entity, the method (1) identifies a set of public cloud datacenters of one or more public cloud providers to connect a set of machines of the entity, (2) deploys managed forwarding nodes (MFNs) for the entity in the identified set of public cloud datacenters, and then (3) configures the MFNs to implement a virtual network that connects the entity's set of machines across its identified set of public cloud datacenters. In some embodiments, the method identifies the set of public cloud datacenters for an entity by receiving input from the entity's network administrator. In some embodiments, this input specifies the public cloud providers to use and/or the public cloud regions in which the virtual network should be defined. Conjunctively, or alternatively, this input in some embodiments specifies actual public cloud datacenters to use.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, operable on a device in a content delivery network (CDN), wherein the CDN delivers content on behalf of at least one content provider, the device implementing a content delivery (CD) service, the method includes, by the service on the device: receiving a request for a particular resource from a client; determining whether the client includes an optimization support mechanism; when the client includes an optimization support mechanism, providing the client with a first version of the particular resource, optimized, at least in part, for the capabilities of the client in combination with the optimization support mechanism; otherwise providing the client with either (i) an un-optimized version of the particular resource, or (ii) a version of the particular resource optimized, at least in part, for the capabilities of the client without the capabilities of the optimization support mechanism.
Abstract: Disclosed herein is an adjustable shoring beam having a hook assembly configured to mate with E-track mating features. The adjustable shoring beam can be adjusted over a predetermined length range by adjusting the tube assembly and the rod assembly. In some embodiments, the extension length is fixed using a fixing clamp coupled to the tube assembly and the rod assembly. A connecting clamp and bracket may be used to couple a first adjustable shoring beam to a second adjustable shoring beam.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for determining an estimated capacity for providing data from a telecommunications network to a plurality of end users. In one implementation, the estimated capacity for delivering the data to the end users is per transmission path or per access network connected to the telecommunications network. This information may be aggregated into a traffic flow table that illustrates the traffic flow and available capacity to one or more end user networks. Through analysis of the traffic flow table, the system determines an estimated available capacity to provide the data to the end users. The traffic flow table thus provides a more accurate estimate of the capacity of the telecommunications network to provide the data to the end users over previous capacity estimates.

Abstract: A method performed by an enterprise search system to conduct an automated, computerized search for select operational attributes of a plurality of network devices is shown. The method comprises initiating the search via a user interface based on receipt of input information, which is used to form a query. The method then determines based on the query, one or more audits each specifying one or more tasks to be performed by at least a first network device to search for the select operational attributes. Subsequently, the method makes the one or more audits available to the first network device via a network, and receives, from the first network device, one or more responses to the query. The method may include generating one or more filter conditions to apply to results of executing the one or more tasks to yield the select operational attributes when included in the results.
