Abstract: In certain implementations, a method includes obtaining network information for a plurality of access points (APs) that are configured to provide user devices with access to a communication network, and determining, according to the network information, partitions in which to divide the APs for deploying a software update to the APs. The method includes dividing, according to a vertex coloring algorithm, the APs into the partitions. The APs correspond to vertices of the vertex coloring algorithm, and neighbor relationships of the APs correspond to edges of the vertex coloring algorithm. The method includes transmitting software update instructions to the APs to cause APs of a first partition to execute a reboot for installing the software update on the APs of the first partition at a different time than APs of a second partition execute a reboot for installing the software update on the APs of the second partition.

Abstract: A system and method for synthesizing and verifying a circuit design includes receiving a circuit design. An equivalency metric is determined across a first hierarchy and a second hierarchy from hierarchies of the circuit design. The equivalency metric is based on one or more of a combinational element equivalency and a sequential element equivalency across the first hierarchy and the second hierarchy. An updated circuit design is generated by ungrouping the first hierarchy of the hierarchies into the second hierarchy of the hierarchies based on the equivalency metric.

Abstract: A computerized method is provided for digitally signing a digital document related to a transaction request from a customer. The method includes receiving, by a computing device, data related to the transaction request from the customer via a web-based interface. Receipt of the transaction data initiates a request session. The method also includes recording during the request session a voice signature sample from the customer via the web-based user interface and verifying the customer for the transaction request by comparing the voice signature sample with a stored voice print of the customer. Further, a consolidated record for the transaction request is generated that includes the transaction data and the transaction result. The digital document is populated with the transaction data if the customer is verified, where the digital document is treated as being digitally signed by the customer.

Abstract: Some users of a data management system (DMS) may use multiple computing environments to replicate and store virtual machines (VM)s, such as for backup and recovery purposes. For example, different replication environments may include one or more private data centers, one or more cloud environments or any combination thereof. A user may schedule a failover procedure for an application. A DMS may perform a failover procedure that reduces downtime and eliminates data loss. The DMS may capture and replicate a snapshot of a VM running on a source computing environment to a target computing environment, power down the VM on the source computing environment, capture and replicate a second snapshot of the VM to the target computing environment, and power on the VM at the target computing environment. As the additional snapshot includes a relatively small amount of data replication at the target computing environment may proceed quickly, reducing downtime.

Abstract: Techniques for data intake that prevent corruption of data repositories with faulty data are disclosed. A data load may include individual values that are erroneous and individual values that are non-erroneous. A system uses a machine learning (ML) model trained to classify the data load, as a whole, as erroneous or non-erroneous. In a data intake process, the system applies the ML model to the data load. In response to determining that the data load is erroneous, the system prevents the storage of the data load within a target data repository.

Abstract: A data management platform may group a first instance of a set of virtual machines into a backup group for performing a backup of data from a source data storage environment to a target data storage environment in accordance with a backup configuration. The data management platform may receive, from a user, an input to create a second instance of the set of virtual machines at the target data storage environment. In some examples, data backed up to the target data storage environment from the first instance may be configured as a source for the second instance. The data management platform may instantiate, in response to receiving the input, the second instance of the set of virtual machines using the backup configuration for the first instance of the set of virtual machines and the data backed up to the target data storage environment.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for determining matches between records of different systems based on aggregate record data, and graphically marking potentially matched groups of data along with predicted confidence levels. Preliminary matching tools may allow allow users to define various rules based on which a majority of the transactions can be matched and reconciled. However, remaining transactions are disposed of in an interactive matching process. The matches may be determined unidirectionally from a source transaction to transactions from a target ledger, or bidirectionally from transactions in the target ledger to transactions other than the source transaction. Transactions may be matched many-to-many, one-to-many, or many-to-one, and a proposed order of match selections may be presented in a user interface.

Abstract: Searches based on an incoming ticket identify quality ticket enrichment data using a vector database. Language model prompts target particular kinds of quality ticket data. The incoming quality ticket, or a search result ticket, or both, are enriched using enrichment data, such as a user intent identification, a workaround suggestion, a resolution description, a target audience description, a relevance description, an impact description, a description of missing resolution facilitation information, an association between the incoming quality ticket and the search result ticket, a user sentiment identification, a tag suggestion, or a feedback utility estimate. The enrichment reduces engineering and support burdens, and facilitates faster more effective resolution of the problem or the request that is stated or implied in the incoming quality ticket. Duplicate tickets are merged or removed. Tickets are prioritized. Missing problem resolution information is identified and requested sooner.
