Abstract: A self-healing network on-board a vehicle includes multiple wireless devices that are directly and communicatively interconnected via communications backbone(s). One of devices is collectively determined by the other devices to be a lead device of the network, and therefore establishes a wireless link (e.g., an only wireless link) communicatively connecting any of the self-healing network devices to other devices/servers on-board the vehicle and external to the network. Passenger-consumable content may be delivered between any device of the self-healing network and the other on-board, external devices via the lead wireless device, its established wireless link, and the communications backbone(s). Any wireless device of the self-healing network may serve as a hot spare for the lead wireless device, so that the self-healing network may automatically reconfigure to mitigate and recover from faults, e.g.

Abstract: Various techniques for facilitating communication with and across a clinical environment and a cloud environment are described. For example, a method for generating a user interface based on messages from a clinical environment is described. A data flow manager (DFM) in the cloud environment may check whether the information in a message received from a connectivity adapter in the clinical environment can be used to generate a user interface (UI). If the information can be used to generate a UI, the DFM may merge the information into the cache. The information merged into the cache can subsequently be used to generate a UI in response to a user request.

Abstract: Content downloads can be managed. For example, intermediary software can receive a first request to download content from a remote server. The intermediary software can receive the first request from content requesting software. The first request can be formed according to a first protocol. The intermediary software can intercept the first request to prevent the first request from being communicated to the remote server. The intermediary software can generate a second request based on the first request and according to a second protocol that is different from the first protocol and that is usable with a peer-to-peer network. The intermediary software can then transmit the second request to the peer-to-peer network to cause the content to be downloaded from the peer-to-peer network.
