  • Patent number: 12284253
    Abstract: A service implemented at a first isolated virtual network of a provider network is added to a database of privately-accessible services. Configuration changes that enable network packets to flow between the first isolated virtual network and a second isolated virtual network without utilizing a network address accessible from the public Internet are implemented. Service requests originating at the second isolated virtual network are transmitted to the first isolated virtual network via private pathways of the provider network. Metrics corresponding to service requests directed from the second isolated network to the service are collected and provided to the respective owners of one or both isolated virtual networks.

  • Patent number: 12278756
    Abstract: A content distribution system as discussed herein includes one or more instances of communication management hardware. The communication management hardware tracks a status of multiple different groupings of edge nodes in a content delivery network. Each of the edge nodes is operative to distribute content (such as video content, video segments, digital assets, etc.) in a network environment. The communication device is redirected to the communication management hardware for selection of an appropriate edge node to deliver content to the communication device. To provide load balancing, the communication management hardware selects an appropriate edge node from the different available edge nodes in different edge node clusters. The communication management hardware then communicates an identity of the selected edge node to the communication device. The communication device then communicates with the selected edge node to retrieve the content.

  • Patent number: 12265910
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for sharing learned information among robots. In some implementations, a robot obtains sensor data indicating characteristics of an object. The robot determines a classification for the object and generates an embedding for the object using a machine learning model stored by the robot. The robot stores the generated embedding and data indicating the classification for the object. The robot sends the generated embedding and the data indicating the classification to a server system. The robot receives, from the server system, an embedding generated by a second robot and a corresponding classification. The robot stores the received embedding and the corresponding classification in the local cache of the robot. The robot may then use the information in the cache to identify objects.

  • Patent number: 12267381
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to accessing and interacting with requested web content using a modified web farm framework. A computing platform may receive a consumer request to connect to a virtual workspace. The computing platform may parse the consumer request to identify a cookie that contains server connections details associated with the virtual workspace. The computing platform may transmit the cookie to the consumer and may receive, from the consumer, a request to connect to a pod and a server that host the virtual workspace. The computing platform may monitor a server connection between the consumer and the virtual workspace to determine whether the server connection was lost and/or terminated. Based on determining the server connection was lost and/or terminated, the computing platform may transmit a notification to the consumer indicating the same. The computing platform may receive, from the consumer, a request to initiate a server re-connection loop.
