Abstract: A method for an in-memory distributed cache includes receiving a write request from a client device to write a block of client data in random access memory (RAM) of a memory host and determining whether to allow the write request by determining whether the client device has permission to write the block of client data at the memory host, determining whether the block of client data is currently saved at the memory host, and determining whether a free block of RAM is available. When the client device has permission to write the block of client data at the memory host, the block of client data is not currently saved at the memory host, and a free block of RAM is available, the write request is allowed and the client is allowed to write the block of client data to the free block of RAM.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage mediums described herein are configured to transfer call context between different call center systems. For example, a first call center system that establishes a communication session between a user and an agent of the first system provides context determined during the session to a call context service. The service stores the context and provides it to other requesting call center systems. For instance, during a call transfer to an agent of a second system, the first system requests the service to provide a transfer number of the second system to which the user is to be transferred. The service determines the transfer number and provides it to the first system. The first system performs the call transfer using the number. After the transfer is complete, the second system provides a request for the context, and the service provides the context to the second system.

Abstract: Systems and generating power in an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) operation to supply electrical power. In embodiments, an inlet temperature of a flow of gas from a source to an ORC unit may be determined. The source may connect to a main pipeline. The main pipeline may connect to a supply pipeline. The supply pipeline may connect to the ORC unit thereby to allow gas to flow from the source to the ORC unit. Heat from the flow of gas may cause the ORC unit to generate electrical power. The outlet temperature of the flow of the gas from the ORC unit to a return pipe may be determined. A bypass valve, positioned on a bypass pipeline connecting the supply pipeline to the return pipeline, may be adjusted to a position sufficient to maintain temperature of the flow of gas above a threshold based on the inlet and outlet temperature.
