Abstract: Systems and methods are described for enabling quantum computing at an edge node of a network. For example, a machine learning component residing on each of a plurality of edge nodes of the network may be implemented to distribute application processing by network location and processing type, including distribution among classical processing at a central cloud, classical processing at an edge node, and quantum processing at a quantum edge node including a quantum computing device. By distributing certain applications, such as latency-sensitive applications of a higher order of complexity, to an edge node, and particularly a quantum edge node, latency may be reduced and complex application code may be processed more quicky using quantum computations. For applications to be processed using quantum processing, the machine learning component may further identify qubits for the quantum processing and define containers based on the qubits for deployment by the quantum computing device.

Abstract: A technique for analyzing data in order to detect issues within a cloud-based service is disclosed. Host computing devices in a data center launch virtual machines, where at least some virtual machines run a pipelined stack for a streaming service. Virtual machines in the host computing devices generate event data including timestamps. Metadata generated by the pipelined stack during each streaming session is analyzed to identify deadzones in the corresponding host computing device, and the event data is processed to identify potential root causes of the corresponding deadzones. The event data can be generated by the virtual machine hosting the streaming service or by different virtual machines on the same host computing device. A distribution of events of each event type relative to the identified deadzones is determined and an operation of the host computing device can be adjusted based on the distribution.

Abstract: Systems and methods include, subsequent to performing auto segmentation on a network that includes a set of policies of allowable and block communications, observing communication between a plurality of hosts on the network; determining unassigned communication paths based on the observing that are either blocked because of a lack of a policy of the set of policies or because there is no policy of the set of policies for coverage thereof; and assigning the unassigned communication paths to corresponding policies of the set of policies. The assigning can be based on heuristics. The assigning can be performed without reperforming auto segmentation.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure will be described with regard to the processing of DNS queries by a DNS service based on multiple network addresses associated with a single network entity (e.g., a service provider). The DNS service may respond to each DNS query for identifying network addresses associated with the service provider with a respective unique network address from a pool of network addresses. Based on the uniqueness of network addresses, DNS queries and subsequent communications between respective client computing devices and the service can be correlated.

Abstract: In a mobile network, an identity of a security group associated with user equipments (UEs) may be obtained. A segment route (SR) path for session communications in the mobile network for the UEs may be selected based on the identity of the security group. The SR path may be one of a plurality of SR paths in a transport network used by the mobile network and defined at least in part by one or more segment IDs (SIDs). An identity of a virtual network associated with the security group may also be obtained. The selected SR path and the identity of the virtual network may be provisioned in one or more routers of the transport network, such that IP messages communicated for the UEs in the mobile network are forwarded via the selected SR path and (at least ultimately) via the tunnel associated with the security group.

Abstract: A method of and system for enabling a distributed entertainment system over a computing device is described herein. When implementing a distributed entertainment system wherein the entertainment system is directly correlated to live events or televised programs, there are a number of issues that must be addressed such as differing timing and channels of television programs and separate state laws. Furthermore, there are a plethora of varying computing device models possibly requiring model-specific software. An “Activity Client” is provided to handle such concerns. Furthermore, since time is of the essence for activities based on live or televised events, it is necessary to ensure a computing device is able to receive the necessary updates for the program before the event begins. By providing only the needed components instead of entire data packages, the present invention is able to much more efficiently prepare users' computing devices in time.

Abstract: A system and method for creating and curating of a mixed media project timeline—a digital storyline about the making of a specific product or work of authorship. The system involves registering an existing project by means of a web platform, and connecting to it via the project owner's credentials external web content sources, including the project owner's social media. The system involves activation of a project verification tag, here called amptag, consisting of the ampersand sign “&” followed by the title of the project. The amptag can be included by the project owner within any content they post on the connected web sources. The system recognizes the marked content, verifies it toward the registered project and the project owner's credentials, and catapults it into the project storyline next to other original content posted by the project.

Abstract: Various embodiments relate generally to data science and data analysis, computer software and systems, and control systems to provide a platform to facilitate implementation of an interface, among other things, and, more specifically, to a computing and data platform that implements logic to facilitate transfer of an exchange of electronic messages to a secure messaging channel having configurable states of synchronicity based on one or more message-related attributes. In some examples, a method may include detecting an electronic message via a first data channel, transmitting an invitation message to transfer an exchange of electronic messages to a secure data channel, establishing a secure data channel, identifying an attribute to initiate routing of an electronic message to generate an automatic response or data representing an agent-assisted response, or both, transmitting an electronic response message as a function of availability of a first data channel, and the like.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for acquiring a single, in-focus two-dimensional projection image of a live, three-dimensional cell culture sample, with a fluorescence microscope. One or more long-exposure “Z-sweep” images are obtained, i.e. via a single or series of continuous acquisitions, while moving the Z-focal plane of a camera through the sample, to produce one or more two-dimensional images of fluorescence intensity integrated over the Z-dimension. The acquisition method is much faster than a Z-stack method, which enables higher throughput and reduces the risk of exposing the sample to too much fluorescent light. The long-exposure Z-sweep image(s) is then input into a neural network which has been trained to produce a high-quality (in-focus) two-dimensional projection image of the sample.

A position of the godparent node is based at least in part on content of the predecessor node. It further includes storing at least a portion of the initial graph on the device.

Abstract: Systems herein allow a student to share media with other students in a classroom with the permission of a teacher. The student can send a sharing request to a management server with a sender student device. The management server can identify a teacher device and send the sharing request to the teacher device for approval. When the request is granted, the student device can supply an address local to the sender device, from which the media will stream. The management server can send the address and an authentication token to other recipient student devices. The management server can further lock the recipient student devices into the sharing location to ensure that each student device will stream the media. At the request of the teacher device or the sender student device, the streaming can end.
