Abstract: In general, techniques are described for a batch configuration mode for configuring network devices. A network device comprising a committed data source and a control unit may implement the techniques. The control unit may receive a plurality of separate commit commands instructing the network device to commit configuration changes to the committed data source. Each of the plurality of commit commands instructs the network device to commit an associated portion of the configuration changes to the committed data source. The control unit then groups two or more of the plurality of separate commit commands to form a batch of commit commands and executes the batch of commit commands to commit the portions of the configuration changes associated with the grouped commit commands to the committed data source as if the grouped portions of the configuration changes were associated with a single commit command.

Abstract: An Internet capable set-top-box (STB) may be operable to extend a security boundary from the Internet capable STB to an application server to allow support of web browsing operations from the application server. A secure link between the Internet capable STB and the application server may be established. The Internet capable STB may communicate a request for web page information from a secure web server along with cryptographic credentials to the application server, via the secure link. The application server may be allowed to receive the web page information directly from the secure web server and process at least the unsupported portion of the received web page information. The Internet capable STB may then receive the web page information with at least the unsupported portion processed from the application server, via the secure link, for further processing and rendering.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable medium for monitoring a communication, and providing users with information retrieved from one or more data sources that may be relevant to the communication. An information module monitors a communication associated with at least one remote client by receiving either all (or a portion of) the communication as input. The information module then analyzes the communication to filter out and produce a running list of words that may define the context or key topics of the communication. One or more of the topic words are then used as search terms in a search executed against one or more data sources. The search results may then be forwarded to the remote client in real-time, according to one or more specified parameters. In this regard, a user of a remote client does not have to formulate their own search terms, or even activate the search, while engaged in a communication.

Abstract: In lieu of merely forwarding different selected content including originally received decoder information (e.g., timing information) to a respective user for a newly selected data stream, a server modifies decoder information of a newly transmitted data stream in accordance with a previously transmitted stream (or a master clock associated with the user) such that respective decoder state information used to decode a first stream of content can also be used to decode a second stream of content. That is, the server encodes and transmits newly selected content to a requestor in accordance with current decoder state information already used by the requestor to decode previously received content. This enables splicing of content together from two or more asynchronous data streams into a single, contiguous data stream even though the data streams originate with different sets of timing information.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for modifying data synchronization of a portable computing device responsive to movement of the portable computing device are disclosed. Data exchange quality associated with multiple locations is captured and stored. A predicted location of a portable computing device is determined from stored data describing previous locations of the portable computing device or navigation data. Data exchange quality associated with the predicted location is retrieved and analyzed to modify data exchange between the portable computing device and a server. For example, if the data exchange quality of the predicted location is low, a fault-tolerant data exchange method is selected or if data exchange is not possible at the predicted location, data exchanges occur more frequently prior to the portable computing device reaching the predicted location.

Abstract: Techniques are described for managing distributed execution of programs. In some situations, the techniques include determining configuration information to be used for executing a particular program in a distributed manner on multiple computing nodes and/or include providing information and associated controls to a user regarding ongoing distributed execution of one or more programs to enable the user to modify the ongoing distributed execution in various manners. Determined configuration information may include, for example, configuration parameters such as a quantity of computing nodes and/or other measures of computing resources to be used for the executing, and may be determined in various manners, including by interactively gathering values for at least some types of configuration information from an associated user (e.g., via a GUI that is displayed to the user) and/or by automatically determining values for at least some types of configuration information (e.g., for use as recommendations to a user).

Abstract: A set of techniques are described for transactional cache versioning and data storage in a distributed data grid environment. A transaction coordinator maintains a commit version for each transaction. This version is updated over the course of the transaction. In addition, each cluster member maintains a local current version that is updated as messages are received from the client. When a client serving as a transaction coordinator sends a message, the transaction coordinator includes an associated transaction's current version value with the message. On receiving a message, the receiving member process sets its current version to be the maximum of its own value and the received value. The receiving member process includes its current version in the return message to the sender. On receiving the return messages, the client sets the transaction's commit version to be greater than the maximum of its own value and the received value.
