Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a host that polls a network adapter to receive data from a network. That is, the host/CPU/application thread polls the network adapter (e.g., the network card, NIC, or SmartNIC) to determine whether a packet has been received. If so, the host informs the network adapter to store the packet (or a portion of the packet) in a CPU register. If the requested data has not yet been received by the network adapter from the network, the network adapter can delay the responding to the request to provide extra time for the adapter to receive the data from the network.

Abstract: Computational algorithms or “solvers” may be executed on intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) in an electric power delivery system to perform tasks such as locating and isolating electrical faults and restoring service to an area after an electrical fault occurs. However, executing the solvers may become a computationally prohibitive task, particularly where computing power is limited (e.g., low-power pole-top computers). In certain embodiments, computing power may be offloaded onto multi-instance networks that may enable processing of large amounts of complex data. It may be difficult for the multi-instance networks to obtain real-time or near real-time data from the electric power delivery system due to cybersecurity concerns. As such, multiple stateless services may be used to evaluate limited and/or obfuscated representations of a portion (e.g., a single feeder circuit) of the electric power delivery system.

Abstract: A system may transmit, from a first user device connected to a video conference and associated with a conference participant, an indication to a peripheral device to temporarily buffer a portion of media content of the video conference. The system may perform, within the video conference, a transition of the conference participant from the first user device to a second user device connected to the video conference including causing the peripheral device to relay the portion of the media content during the transition. In some implementations, the portion of the media content may be buffered by storing less than a predefined amount of time of the media content received by the first user device in a random access memory of the peripheral device.

Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring OTA ROM data to monitor whether there is an abnormality in the OTA ROM data using data of a network switch and a method thereof are provided. A monitoring device monitors information about data communication of each of ports of a network switch, in a process where OTA ROM data is transmitted to an OTA update target controller in a vehicle through the network switch. A controller determines whether there is an abnormality in the OTA ROM data, based on the monitored information about the data communication of each of the ports and information about communication processed by the network switch in the process where the OTA ROM data is transmitted to the OTA update target controller, which is predefined. The stability of the OTA update is improved.
