Abstract: Restoring data stored by a backup process in an object store of a cloud network by initiating a restore request to a server accessing the object store, by providing a source identifier of one or more data blocks of the requested data and a timestamp for a backup image at a requested point in time (PIT). The server manages a queue of blocks in temporary storage to provide blocks for retrieval by the client, and initially fills the queue with blocks from a full backup and unchanged by any incremental backup to the requested PIT. In response to the request, the server assembles blocks that are changed from the full backup through one or more incremental backups to the requested PIT using a full block synthesis process employing forward and reverse delta objects, and sends to the client the blocks initially filled in the queue with the assembled blocks to return a full PIT backup image for the requested PIT.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are systems, methods, devices, and machine-readable mediums for improved communications between a software-defined radio front-end device and a network-based computing device. Rather than packetize samples together, same bit positions from multiple ADC samples may be packetized together. If a Quality of Service (QoS) metric of the network connection between the RF front-end device and the network-based processing computing drops below a threshold, the RF front-end device may prioritize sending packets with the more significant bits over packets with less significant bits. In other examples, the RF front-end device may prioritize samples corresponding to certain data types over other data types.

Further, in response to a determination that the word is present in the set of the identified elements, an operation associated with the word may be executed to test the application.

Abstract: A game engine sensor of a computing device executing an operating system receives first data from the operating system that represents occurrence of a monitored event. The game engine sensor sends second data corresponding to the monitored event to a game engine logic controller. A first logic block of the game engine logic controller determines, based on the second data and third data representing a system state of the computing device, that a first predicate condition is satisfied. A second logic block of the game engine logic controller determines, based on the second data and the third data, that a second predicate condition is satisfied. A computer security threat is detected based on the first and second predicate conditions being satisfied, and at least one game engine actuator is instructed to perform at least one action responsive to the computer security threat.

Abstract: Described is a poll-based system that provides an on-line and mobile network of users and products, goods and services that are determined through polling each of the users. The system compares, in real-time, the current user's polling responses to identify which most similarly match the answered questions to that of the user. As the user progressively answers questions, the system updates the matching and presentation other users and of products, goods and services. Thus, as the user answers polling questions, the selected answers are compared against the selected descriptions of other products, goods and services, or general questions, to generate a likelihood of match between the users, and also each of the products, goods and services. The profiles of products, goods and services that have a likelihood of match within a predetermined threshold are then presented, including links within the profile for specific purchases.
