Abstract: A cloud based service provides Master Data Management (MDM) services to clients. A client may create/modify MDM workflows that are hosted by the cloud based service to assist in meeting their needs. An interface is provided at points within the workflow that is hosted by the cloud based service. The cloud based service utilizes a flexible pipeline that executes predefined configurable blocks. A user can create or customize an existing workflow based on the predefined set of blocks (e.g. execution blocks, conditional blocks, loop blocks). The blocks are configured to receive, process and send information relating to the master data according to a predefined schema. Clients may publish master data changes and/or subscribe to master data changes made by other clients.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for transmitting data in a frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) wireless communication system. A multi-channel receiver is configured to receive data from one or more channels simultaneously. The multi-channel receiver enables efficient implementation of a transmission protocol in which multiple candidate nodes within a wireless mesh network are polled for availability to receive a packet of data. The packet of data is transmitted to one or more available nodes based on prevailing link conditions, thereby increasing the likelihood of successful delivery. Data flooding may be selectively implemented to further increase the likelihood of successful delivery.

Abstract: A network mobility device registers with a switch in a telephone network, and receives a first message from a docking station indicating that a mobile device has undocked from the docking station. The docking station includes a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone that has a wired connection to a data network, and the mobile device includes a portable digital computing device. The network mobility device receives a call, destined for the mobile device, routed from the switch, and sends an alert message, based on the undocking of the mobile device and the received call, to the mobile device to notify a client of the mobile device of the call. The network mobility device forwards the call, based on the undocking of the mobile device, from the network mobility device to the client at the mobile device via the data network.

More specifically, a controller is implemented that confirms first and second brake and the first and second clutch are released so that the system is in a neutral condition, confirm that the engine is stopped, and control the first motor-generator and the second motor-generator to rotate the engine at a predetermined rotational speed to start the engine.

Abstract: A method for optimizing resources on a web server is provided. A web page may include areas for displaying content that is time consuming to retrieve. The content may be geographically far away or the content server itself may be slow. A caching proxy between the web server and the content server responds to requests for data immediately, with or without the data requested from the cache. On a cache miss, the caching proxy asynchronously retrieves data so that the next time the same content is requested, the data should be available in the cache. Asynchronous retrieval means that no valuable resources are tied up on the web server while waiting for the content to be provided from the content server. The initial web page sent from the web server to the web browser includes retry logic. The data may be retrieved from the cache during one of the retries.

Abstract: A network node comprising at least one network interface the network node arranged to form network links to other network nodes through the or each network interface, each network link being to a neighboring one of the other network nodes, the network node arranged to determine whether data transmitted over the links to the relevant neighboring network nodes is successfully received. Should the network node make a first determination that data sent over a given network link to a neighboring node has not been successfully received, the network node temporarily disables the entry for that network link in a memory for a period of time, such that the network node does not send data to the neighboring node over the given network link during the period of time, but then subsequently re-enables the entry after the period of time has elapsed.
