Abstract: Nitrous oxide (NOx) sensors and related methods and systems for use with combustion processes. The NOx sensor uses metal oxide semiconductors. The NOx sensor may have two sensing circuits that share a common electrode. The sensing circuits are differentiated by having different porous catalytic filter coatings protecting the metal oxide semiconductors: one sensing circuit has a porous catalytic filter coating that contains a Noxcat material (rhodium, ruthenium, cobalt, palladium, or nickel), while the porous catalytic filter coating of the other sensing circuit is substantially free of Noxcat material. The two sensing circuits are simultaneously exposed to the exhaust gases at a common macro location. The NOx level may be determined based on a difference in resistance between the two sensing circuits and a temperature of the NOx sensor.

Abstract: This document describes systems, methods and apparatus for locating an object and/or processed versions of that object in a CDN cache system. When a CDN server needs to send a forward request to an origin server to retrieve an object, the CDN server can append a ‘cache hint’ (sometimes referred to herein as a pointer or as ‘reverse cookie’) to its request. The cache hint preferably includes information that will be stored at the origin server and provided to other CDN servers that subsequently ask for the same object. Preferably the information is a pointer that will enable the object to be located within the CDN and/or enable the location of modified version of the object that have already been created and stored within the CDN.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for optimizing a load balancer configuration are disclosed. A load balancer is configured to perform traffic management for a distributed system. A new component is deployed to the distributed system or a performance deviation is predicted in the distributed system. In response to the initiation of the deployment or the prediction of the performance deviation, the configuration of the load balancer is modified from a first state to a second state. Modifying the configuration of the load balancer modifies the traffic management for the distributed system. If the configuration was changed due to a deployment, the configuration of the load balancer is restored from the second state to the first state after a period of time has elapsed.
