Abstract: A server system receives an electronic document from a client system to be stored at a content management system. The server system generates multiple copies of the electronic document that are stored in parallel at respective multiple instances of the content management system. The server system receives a request to retrieve a copy of the electronic document. In response to the request, the server system checks, by a load balancer, whether the respective multiple instances of the content management system are operational to retrieve the copy of the electronic document. The server system then performs load balancing by the load balancer in accordance with a round-robin process to select a particular instance and retrieves the copy of the electronic document from the particular instance of the content management system.

Abstract: Examples herein describe systems and methods for self-healing in a Telco network function virtualization cloud. KPI attributes for virtual network functions can be mapped to physical fault notifications to create synthesized alerts. The synthesized alerts can include information from both a virtual and physical layer, allowing a self-healing action framework to determine root causes of problems in the Telco cloud. Remedial actions can then be performed in either the virtual or physical layer of the Telco cloud. Remedial actions in one layer can be based on root causes identified in the other, which can allow for remediation before network downtime occurs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to estimating source impedances across one or more transmission lines connecting at least two substations. Each substation is associated with an equivalent source having a respective source impedance. Voltage and current measurements and status signals are obtained. The voltage and current measurements provide terminal or bus voltages and line currents at each terminal, and the status signals are associated with switching events at the one or more transmission lines or at the substations. An event associated with a disturbance or current injection is detected from one or more of the obtained measurements and the obtained status signals. The source impedance of each equivalent source is estimated based on the event, using line parameters and the voltage and current measurements associated with the event.

Voltage or current measurements are obtained at a terminal of the transmission line in each of the three phases measured during a fault. Modal transformations are performed on voltage or current measurements to obtain traveling wave signals with reference to each of the three phases. Based on the magnitude of the traveling wave signals the fault is classified.

Abstract: The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for increasing content insertion opportunities. A prediction input is received that characterizes utilization of content stream utilization channels (CSUCs). Schedule parameters are automatically predicted for the prediction input using prediction models obtained via machine learning based on grouped historic data related to CSUCs, where grouping is based on an operational mode in which the prediction models operate. Using the predicted schedule parameters, insertion opportunity may be identified with respect to CSUCs and insertion schedules are generated specifying insertions of content streams into identified CSUCs at respective insertion times.

Abstract: Examples of fault location in a power transmission line connecting a first and a second terminal is described. In an example, arrival times of a first peak, a second peak, and a third peak of a travelling wave detected from measurements carried out at the first and second terminals is detected. A rise time associated with the first peak of the travelling wave is calculated. One of a first half and a second half of the power transmission line is identified, as having a fault, based on a comparison of the rise time. One of a first segment, a second segment, a third segment, and a fourth segment of the power transmission line is identified as having the fault. Length of the power transmission line is estimated. The fault location is estimated based on identification of one of the first, second, third, and fourth segments as having the fault.

Abstract: A tax category prediction model, which is trained using a tax category prediction dataset, provides a tax category prediction for an item having an item listing. The tax category prediction model enhances the ability and accuracy of identifying a tax category associated with an item for sale via the online marketplace (e.g., identifying the tax category before the item is offered for sale via the online marketplace). The tax category prediction dataset is generated based on one or more of a text embedding, an image embedding, another type of embedding, or a combination thereof. The text embedding may be identified by applying a natural language processing model to a text string of the item listing. The natural language processing model may comprise bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT).
