Abstract: A space-based electronic data storage and transfer network system is disclosed. The network system includes terrestrial access points, a plurality of geostationary communications satellites, and a plurality of communicatively coupled low-earth orbit data storage satellites. The terrestrial access point establishes a link or communication with a geostationary communications satellite which relays the link or communication to a low-earth orbit data storage satellite for storing information contained within the link or communication. The terrestrial access point can also establish a link or communication with a geostationary communications satellite which relays the link or communication to a low-earth orbit data storage satellite requesting retrieval of information stored within the link or communication. Any low-earth orbit data storage satellite can access data from any other low-earth orbit data storage satellite through the communicative coupling.

Abstract: A computer-implemented technique is described herein for presenting notifications on a user interface presentation of a recipient computing device. The technique is considered tiered because it distinguishes between first-type (people-centric) notifications and second-type notifications, and because it processes and presents first-type notifications in a privileged manner compared to the second-type notifications. For instance, the technique presents content associated with each first-type notification in an allocated window that appears in positional association with a person indicator, where that person indicator identifies the person who sent the first-type notification; the technique presents each second-type notification in a different manner. In some implementations, an application developer who designs a custom first-type notification is given authority to draw within the allocated window that is used to present the custom first-type notification in a manner specified by the application developer.

Abstract: Methods and systems to identify and respond to low-priority event messages are described. Methods identify types of event messages recorded in event-log files as low-priority event messages. Methods enable an information technology (“IT”) administrator, or other user, to determine which low-priority event messages may be deleted, how the low-priority event messages may be sampled for storage, or how long the low-priority event messages may be stored in a data-storage device.

Abstract: A network provisioning system includes a computer-based set of instructions that receive, from a third party network provisioning system managed by a third party service provider, provisioning information associated with a wiretap to be setup on a customer communication device. The instructions then transmit the provisioning information to a policy server in a network domain. Thereafter, when the media gateway transmits a policy request message to the policy server to establish a call session for the customer communication device, the policy server issues instructions to establish the wiretap in the media gateway.

Abstract: Techniques for handling the dynamic reassignment of entities among multiple data centers are provided. In one technique, for each task of a plurality of tasks that are associated with a first data center of a plurality of data centers, an entity identifier that is associated with the task is identified. A call to an entity routing service is initiated, where the call includes the entity A response to the call is received from the entity routing service, where the response indicates a particular data center. An entity processor that is different than the entity routing service processes the task only if the particular data center is the first data center. If the particular data center is different than the first data center, then a data structure that stores the task is updated to indicate the particular data center and the task is eventually processed in the particular data center.

Abstract: An encoding system that distributes a live stream to end user devices is provided herein. The encoding system automatically detects failed components and implements a failover action to replace the failed component with a backup component in a manner that reduces live stream interruptions. For example, the encoding system can include a network interface that is coupled to an encoder allocated to a live stream. Instead of providing a contribution encoder that transmits the live stream with a location of the allocated encoder, the encoding system can provide the contribution encoder with a location of the network interface. Thus, the contribution encoder can transmit the live stream to the network interface. The network interface can then forward the live stream to the allocated encoder. If the allocated encoder fails, then the network interface can forward the live stream to a backup encoder.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method, by a control node (100, 150), for selecting one of a plurality of media forwarding elements (200, 250) in a network for forwarding an additional media data stream by the selected media forwarding element, the method comprising the steps of receiving (S21, S31, S100) a load message from one of the media forwarding elements, the load message containing information about a load level of said one media forwarding element and about how media data streams from a first area (300) of the network from which said one media forwarding element receives the media data streams contribute to the load level of said one media forwarding element. The received information is stored in a storage unit (130) of the control node. When a setup request for an additional media data stream is received, the setup request requesting a selection of one of the media forwarding elements for the second media data stream by the control node (100, 150).

Abstract: A content management system creates and modifies user notification queues for shared content items synchronized between a content management system and multiple devices. A user notification queue includes interactions with a shared content item that may be presented to a user to indicate recent interactions with the shared content item by other sharing users. The content management system sends the user notification queue corresponding to a user to the user's device when the user accesses the content item. The client device displays a content item in a window associated with a process on the device. A client application displays an interaction indicator that presents user notification queue content to the user.
