Abstract: Methods and systems for improved failover techniques are described herein. A failure associated with a content source may lead to a computing device becoming unable to output all or part of content that was requested from the content source prior to the failure. The computing device may have received a portion of a manifest associated with the content prior to the failure. The failover techniques described herein may enable the computing device to continue receiving portions of the content despite the failure. For example, an additional portion of the manifest may be modified such that the computing device may request additional portions of the content from another content source without requiring a retuning procedure.

Abstract: Automated storage and retrieval system for managing storage of inventory at a retail facility includes a storage structure with storage locations configured to store containers that contain retail products, and a conveying system that conveys the containers between the storage locations and a product picking station. A computing device analyzes one or more business rules to identify at least two containers that are eligible for the product merging therebetween and causes the conveying system to move these two containers from the storage structure toward a picking station selected by the control circuit. When the two containers identified as product merging eligible arrive at the picking station, these two containers are kept by the conveying system at the picking station until all of the products are removed from a first one of these two containers and merged together with the products stored in a second one of these two containers.

The program instructions are readable and/or executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the foregoing method.

Abstract: A network incident summarization and visualization tool presents a summarized or filtered rendering of an analysis or narrative of a collection of events gathered from a stream of incident reports. A graph structure stores entities and relationships between network entities in a graph form based on temporal correspondence between different incidents. An evaluation of the entities and the relationships implements a scoring methodology that identifies the most significant incidents based on the entities and component groups of entities associated by a sequence of relationships. The scoring methodology provides a normalized score that is filtered based on a threshold that removes entities having little to no correspondence or effect. The resulting filtered rendering defines a graph of entities and relationships ordered by type and significance such that the most important aspects of the rendered narrative are apparent.

Abstract: Technology for orbit raising of multiple spacecraft launched with a single launch vehicle. Two or more spacecraft are configured in a stacked launch configuration in which a lower spacecraft is mechanically coupled with a payload adapter of a launch vehicle with one or more upper spacecraft above the lower spacecraft. Propellant that is stored in the lower spacecraft during launch is transferred to an upper spacecraft in the stack after launch. The propellent may be used by the upper spacecraft for an orbit raising maneuver that raises the orbit of at least the upper spacecraft from a first orbit to a second orbit. Storing the propellant in the lower spacecraft lowers the center of mass of the stack during launch. Lowering the center of mass reduces the structural bending moment of the stack during launch, which allows a greater total launch mass.
