Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for message routing optimization. The message routing optimization system receives requests to transmit messages to recipient devices. The message routing optimization system determines whether to allocate the messages to an optimal routing provider or a secondary routing provider. The message routing optimization ranks the set of routing providers based on a conversion rate index and determines the optimal routing and secondary routing providers based on the ranking. The message routing optimization system allocates messages to the selected routing providers to be delivered to their intended recipients.

Abstract: Systems and methods for instantiating collaboration interfaces via object recognition are disclosed. An object recognition engine communicatively coupled to a database and an electronic device receives sensor data related to an object and identifies an object characteristic. A component is selected having criteria satisfied by the object characteristic and a collaboration interface is instantiated on the electronic device. This can allow a user to edit content related to an object. A substantially identical collaboration interface can be instantiated on a second electronic device to allow collaboration among user with respect to content related to the object.

Abstract: Updating user-specific instances of a second application for individual users of a group based on a data file for the second application being shared via a collaboration object that corresponds to the group within a first application. The instances of the second application present each individual user with their own custom user experience that is configured to provide access to specific content based on object permissions data. An application extension is executable, by the first application, to extend content editing functionalities of the second application into the collaboration object. Responsive to specific content being associated with the collaboration object via the application extension, each of the instances of the second application may be automatically updated to provide direct access to the specific content. Thus, each user within the group defined for collaboration object can access the data file via the collaboration object and their own instance of the second application.

Various other systems, methods, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for allowing one or more users to access a number of tenant systems in a multi-tenant cloud environment are disclosed. The method includes registering a user to the tenant systems based on an identity information received from the user. The same identity information is associated with each of the tenant systems. The method also includes creating an account corresponding to each of the tenant systems for the user. The method further includes allowing the user to access one or more of the tenant systems based on the identity information entered by the user. The user accesses the tenant systems by entering the same identity information. Further, the same identity information is used for identifying the user in each of the tenant systems.

Abstract: Increased fairness for small vs large NVMe IO commands for accessing a non-volatile memory namespace provided by a network attached storage appliance can be realized by placing NVMe submissions received by a NVMe SQ on a first fabric queue set or a second fabric queue set based on a fairness policy. The first fabric queue set accesses the namespace via a first fabric connection. The second fabric queue set accesses the namespace via a second fabric connection. Accessing the namespace via the fabric connections results in NVMe completions that are merged from the fabric queue sets onto an NVMe completion queue. A process producing the NVMe submissions and receiving the resulting NVMe completions may be unaware of the multiple fabric queue sets.

Abstract: A system for collaboratively generating and/or managing a media channel is provided. The system includes an identification component, a generation component and a permissions component.

The generation component generates a media channel based on the first and second sets of media content identified as being respectively associated with the first and second social groups. The permissions component grants access to the media channel based at least on permissions generated for the first and second sets of media content in connection with the respective first and second social groups.

Abstract: Techniques are described for synchronizing video of a live event with separately generated metadata relating to the live event. Timing information representing a delay associated with the encoding and packaging pipeline is determined for each origin that produces a set of content streams, and then provided in the form of a synchronization offset in the client manifest for various streaming technologies. The client device requests the metadata, and synchronizes the metadata with content segments using timing information associated with each and the synchronization offset communicated in the manifest.

Abstract: The systems of the present invention provide monitoring and recording means for monitoring and maintaining a history of one or more parameters associated with a building or a particular location. The system can be preset with default actions to be conducted as a result of certain events or changes in certain parameters being detected. For example, the water and/or gas utilities can be programmed to shut down if smoke is detected, indicating the possible presence of a fire, or if the temperature drops below freezing temperature. All utilities, including gas, and water can be programmed to shut down in the event that a potentially significant change in a monitored parameter is detected.

Abstract: Techniques for detecting misconfiguration of an uplink or an external network device connected with the uplink is disclosed. In an aspect, a Frame Link Module (FLM) in a frame belonging to a group of frames connected in a ring network, may determine that an uplink of the FLM is configured in a management mode. The FLM may determine, based on a system description associated with a Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) packet, whether the uplink is connected to a network device in an external network. Based on Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) traffic being dropped, it may be determined that VLAN configuration of one of the uplink and the network device is incompatible for operation in the management mode. The uplink with incompatible VLAN configuration or the uplink connected with a network switch having incompatible VLAN configuration may be removed from a group of uplinks available for selection as an active uplink for the frames.
