  • Patent number: 11663055
    Abstract: Techniques for monitoring operating statuses of an application and its dependencies are provided. A monitoring application may collect and report the operating status of the monitored application and each dependency. Through use of existing monitoring interfaces, the monitoring application can collect operating status without requiring modification of the underlying monitored application or dependencies. The monitoring application may determine a problem service that is a root cause of an unhealthy state of the monitored application. Dependency analyzer and discovery crawler techniques may automatically configure and update the monitoring application. Machine learning techniques may be used to determine patterns of performance based on system state information associated with performance events and provide health reports relative to a baseline status of the monitored application. Also provided are techniques for testing a response of the monitored application through modifications to API calls.

  • Patent number: 11656585
    Abstract: Managing the operation of devices within a home or other property based upon electrical usage data. With customer knowledge or consent, a home controller may retrieve and analyze electrical usage data corresponding to a device, such as by comparing it to certain threshold data. If the analysis results in a trigger condition, the controller may generate a command, and transmit the command to the device for implementation, allowing modification of device operation to address any issues indicated in the electrical usage data. The controller may notify a home owner/occupant. As a result, faulty devices may be managed prior to their faults causing damage to the device and/or the property, and/or property owners may be timely prompted to investigate, repair, and/or replace a failing device. Insurance discounts may be provided based upon the risk mitigation/prevention functionality.

  • Patent number: 11636095
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for implementing a distributed ledger a blockchain cloud service. The blockchain cloud service can include nodes of the distributed ledger and a REST proxy service component. The REST proxy service uses a service development kit for the distributed ledger to communicate with the distributed ledger, and can provide REST APIs for use by client applications to query through chaincodes, synchronously or asynchronously invoke transactions through the chaincodes, get transaction statuses, and get BCS proxy versions. The REST proxy service component can authenticate REST calls, and translate the REST calls into remote procedural calls, for use in interfacing with the distributed ledger. The REST proxy service component can further provide REST APIs that support the same functions which are provided by the BCS management console component, and provide a user interface for client applications to consume the BCS instance.

  • Patent number: 11609770
    Abstract: The present technology pertains to a link service that can create, maintain, and service links to objects on behalf of a content management system or other services. The link service can share administration of links with other services when desired or can even allow other services to issue the link and manage the object that is the subject of the link while providing other functions to support the link. Additionally, link service can interface with a file system that can support links as actors in the file system, whereby greater control and flexibility in supporting links is provided. Link service can also accommodate servicing and management of links issued by legacy services, where the legacy services have unique link logic that should still be utilized to maintain a consistent user experience.

  • Patent number: 11599780
    Abstract: A neural processor circuit including one or more planar engine circuits that perform non-convolution operations in parallel with convolution operations performed by one or more neural engine circuits. The neural engine circuits perform the convolution operations on neural input data corresponding to one or more neural engine tasks to generate neural output data. The planar engine circuits perform non-convolution operations on planar input data corresponding to one or more planar engine tasks to generate planar output data. A data processor circuit in the neural processor circuit addresses data dependency between the one or more neural engine tasks and the one or more planar engine tasks by controlling reading of the neural output data as the planar input data by the planar engine circuits or reading of the planar output data as the neural input data by the neural engine circuits.

  • Patent number: 11556356
    Abstract: A call to an external interface to execute a target callee program associated with a first addressing mode in a secondary runtime environment (RTE) is received from a caller program associated with a second addressing mode running in a primary RTE. An address of a share area (SA) storing existing dynamic link object information in the primary RTE in storage is passed to the secondary RTE. The SA is accessible by both the caller program and the target callee program. In response to a request to load a dynamic link object by an initiating program during execution of the target callee program in the secondary RTE, an entry address of the dynamic link object is retrieved in the SA. The dynamic link object is loaded based on the retrieved entry address of the dynamic link object.

  • Patent number: 11556403
    Abstract: A system for implementing an application programming interface (API) service modification generates API sample requests based on content and metadata associated with historical API requests. The content associated with a historical API request may comprise data that is requested in the historical API request. The metadata may comprise a data format associated with the content. The system sends the API sample requests to an API hosting server and receives API responses. The system compares an API response with an expected API response, where the API response and the expected API response are associated with a particular task. The system determines whether the API response corresponds with the expected API response. If it is determined that the API response does not correspond with the expected API response, the system identifies a modification made to the API response and modifies future API requests associated with the particular task according to the modification.

  • Patent number: 11550645
    Abstract: A system and method that automatically terminates an application. A method includes monitoring activity data points for an application launched by a client device within a workspace environment. The activity data points may include user interactions with a physical interface component. State data for each file associated with the application is monitored and, if a determination is made that the application is inactive based on the activity data points, the method determines if a file associated with the application includes unsaved content based on state data. If it is determined that no files for the application include unsaved content, the method forecasts whether the application will be inactive for a future period based on the activity data. The application is terminated if it is determined that no files for the application include unsaved content and the application is forecast to be inactive.
