Abstract: Provided are particle analyzers and related methods for verifying calibration status of the particle analyzer, including independently of the presence or absence of particles. The method and analyzers include use of distinct and non-interfering time frequency domains: a middle frequency time domain and a low frequency time domain, and optionally a high frequency time domain. The high frequency time domain generates a laser facet drive current frequency modulation to prevent the laser facet from spatial-mode hopping. The middle frequency time domain is for particle detection. The low frequency time domain is for calibration status, including laser-pulse-light self-diagnostics, for the health or calibration status of the analyzer. By carefully selecting the frequency time domain ranges, there is non-interference, with the ability to self-diagnose the instrument that is particle-independent.

The rails may each include one or more tracks within an inner chamber, within which a locking strip is configured to slide. A depth of the top rail may be greater than a depth of the bottom rail. In this regard, when the top and bottom rails are affixed to the vertical posts, the picket can slide up into the top rail and then be inserted into the bottom rail, where it may rest.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for processing policy variance requests in an enterprise computing environment are presented. A computing platform may receive, from a first endpoint computing device, a request for a first policy variance. In response to receiving the request, the computing platform may authenticate the first endpoint computing device based on enrollment information and may validate contents of the request. Subsequently, the computing platform may generate a policy variance result message based on approval or rejection of the request for the first policy variance. Then, the computing platform may send, to the first endpoint computing device, the policy variance result message. By sending the policy variance result message to the first endpoint computing device, the computing platform may cause the first endpoint computing device to execute a policy action corresponding to the approval or rejection of the request for the first policy variance.

Abstract: Provided are a system and method for publishing a disparate live media output stream manifest that includes one or more media segments corresponding to key events. The system comprises one or more processors that generate a programming schedule, based on a synchronization of one or more disparate sub-systems in the system, includes one or more key events that occurred from a starting point until a current live point in a live input stream. Further, a reference clock provides a reference time to synchronize the one or more disparate sub-systems. Based on the programming schedule, one or more processors insert the current live point and one or more media segments corresponding to the one or more key events that occurred prior to the current live point included in a live input stream manifest into a disparate live media output stream manifest, which is further published based on the insertion.

Abstract: A stack-based conversation engine is provided. The conversation engine enables a voice or text based virtual assistant to create interactive, conversational experiences in an extensible manner. The conversation engine can be used to support a conversation between a user and a virtual assistant. The conversation engine can be configured to receive, from the virtual assistant, a fulfillment request specifying an intent from the virtual assistant; push an item onto a conversation stack stored, the item including an identifier of the intent; execute an action handler associated with the intent to generate instructions to manipulate the conversation stack; manipulate the conversation stack according to the instructions; and store the conversation stack for subsequent processing in support of the conversation.

Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems and methods for path selection proportional to a penalty delay in processing packets. A server-side intermediary may identify a delay penalty for processing packets of a server destined for a client. The server-side intermediary may be in communication via links of different latencies with a client-side intermediary. The server-side intermediary may select a second link with a latency that deviates from the lowest latency of a first link by the delay penalty. The server-side intermediary may transmit, to the client-side intermediary, duplicates of the packets via the selected second link with information indicating to hold the duplicates at the client-side intermediary. The server-side intermediary may receive an indication to drop or send the duplicates to the client. The server-side intermediary may transmit the indication to the client-side intermediary to drop or send the duplicates according to the indication.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and techniques for segregating different types of auto-generated enterprise communications, identifying actionable items found within the enterprise communications and automatically generating a list of unified events/tasks for presentation to a user. The systems and techniques utilize templates to identify a communication. Once a communication is identified, rule sets are applied to parse the communication and generate an event which can be presented to a user as part of an event/task list. Described systems and techniques may process different type of communications such as email and real-time communications, parses each type of communication and generate a unified event/task list (i.e. a single task list which includes events from emails, real time messages and other communication channels) which can be presented to a user.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods of maintaining a session via an intermediary device. A first device intermediary to a client and a plurality of servers receives a packet of a session. The packet of the session includes application protocol data and application session metadata used to maintain a state of an application accessed via the session. The first device marks a session state of the session to an update state. The first device determines that a second device intermediary to the client and the plurality of servers is in a ready state and the session state of the session is in the update state. The first device forwards the application protocol data and the application session metadata of the packet to the second device to maintain, on the second device, the same state of the application accessed via the session provided by the first device.
