Abstract: An electronic device in a network capable of enhancing classification of packets received by the electronic device is provided that includes a network interface, a non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon, and a hardware processor. The hardware processor executes the instructions to receive a packet in at least one packet flow to be processed using a first service flow or a second service flow, determine whether a packet to be processed using the second service flow is incorrectly classified for processing using the first service flow, and move the incorrectly classified packet to the second service flow. A notification including data is transmitted for the incorrectly classified packet to a machine learning algorithm (MLA). The MLA is trained using the data and the trained MLA categorizes at least one new packet to be processed using the first or second service flow.

Abstract: Technology is disclosed for establishing and administering multiple virtual machines, each with an audio, video and control (AVC) operating system (OS). The technology can also establish and administer cloud based AVC OSs. A server implementing this technology can perform real-time AVC processing, alongside soft and non-real-time processing and can host multiple, independent, virtual AVC OSs. Each AVC OS can perform the processing for an AVC setup. Each of the AVC OSs can be operated by a corresponding virtual machine controlled by a hypervisor running on the server. A cloud based AVC OS can perform processing for a corresponding remote AVC setup comprising multiple AVC devices. An AVC routing system can cause AVC signals from a particular AVC setup to reach a corresponding cloud AVC OS and conversely can cause signals from an AVC OS to reach the correct destination device.

Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein include an optical module. The optical module may include a deformable lens and an actuator configured to be deflectable to cause a change in the shape of the deformable lens to alter light passing through the optical module. In various examples, the optical module may include a stop structure configured to mechanically stop the actuator from deflecting beyond a threshold deflection in at least one direction. In some cases, the stop structure may be used for calibration purposes. Additionally, or alternatively, the stop structure may be configured to define an aperture stop that limits an amount of light that passes through the optical module. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the stop structure may be configured to hide the actuator when the optical module is viewed in plan.
