Abstract: Features of various implementations are used to enable identifying and presenting, in real time, Internet-accessible and/or Internet-based functionality, content and/or services associated with a particular television program concurrently playing on a television or display, as a part of an interactive television suite of technologies. In some implementations, the process of identifying Internet-accessible and/or Internet-based functionality, content and/or services associated with a particular television program is enabled to reduce communication between a primary set-top box and a supplemental set-top box and/or television integrated device, thereby reducing the need for one or more provider specific APIs.

Abstract: A method performed by a packet processor comprises retrieving a first prefix length for a first lookup stage and a shorter second prefix length for a second lookup stage. The packet processor can receive instructions to program an action entry. The length of the action entry prefix is compared to the first prefix and second prefix length. If it is determined that the length of the action entry prefix is shorter than the second prefix length, the second prefix length is selected as an expanded prefix length. If it is determined that the length of the action entry prefix is longer than the second prefix length and shorter than the first prefix length, then the first prefix length is selected as the expanded prefix length. Expanded action entries are generated with expanded prefixes of the expanded prefix length and stored at the lookup stage associated with the expanded prefix length.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for updating cybersecurity enforcement rules in real-time over disparate computer networks. A rule enforcement system may receive a real-time data stream. The real-time data stream may include real-time communications requiring cybersecurity verification. Real-time data communications are processed through a first rule repository. In response to determining that rule updates to rules within the first rule repository are available, a second rule repository is retrieved and brought online. Previously received real-time communication data is processed with the first rule repository and new real-time communication data is routed to the second rule repository. When previously received real-time communication data has been processed, the first rule repository is disabled.

Abstract: A wireless device receives radio resource control messages indicating: a first maximum total transmit power of a first group comprising first cell(s) of a first frequency band; and a second maximum total transmit power of a second group comprising second cell(s) of a second frequency band. A first total power for transmission of first signal(s) via the first group exceeding the first maximum total transmit power is determined. First transmission power of first signal(s) are scaled so that an updated first total power does not exceed the first maximum total transmit power. Second total power for transmission of second signal(s) via the second group exceeding the second maximum total transmit power is determined. Second transmission power of second signal(s) are scaled so that an updated second total power does not exceed the second maximum total transmit power.

Abstract: Extending the spatial coverage of a reference pressure network. Particular embodiments described herein include machines that initially determine that an estimated position of a mobile device resides outside a coverage area of a network of reference pressure sensors. Reference-level pressures corresponding to reference pressure sensors of the network are determined using measurements of pressure from the network of reference pressure sensors. A pressure pattern for a region that includes the estimated position and an area not included in the coverage area of the network is determined using reference-level pressures that were not determined using measurements of pressure from the network of reference pressure sensors. The reference-level pressures corresponding to reference pressure sensors of the network and the pressure pattern are used to determine a reference-level pressure value for use in calibrating a pressure sensor of the mobile device or for use in estimating an altitude of the mobile device.
