Abstract: A method for managing disbursement signals at a payment system is discussed. The method includes selecting a source of a general disbursement signal indicating a requested transfer of a first portion of funds from a buyer account to a general account at the payment system. The method includes determining an event for transferring a second portion of the funds from the general account to a merchant account. The method includes selecting, based on the event, a source of a merchant signal, the merchant signal indicating a requested transfer of the second portion of the funds from the general account to the merchant account. The method also includes configuring a disbursement module to trigger a transfer of the first portion of the funds in response to receiving the general signal and to trigger a transfer of the second portion of the funds in response to receiving the merchant signal.

Abstract: Techniques for chunking data in data storage systems that provide increased data storage security across multiple cloud storage providers. The techniques employ a chunking engine and a policy engine, which evaluates one or more storage policies relating to, for example, cost, security, and/or network conditions in view of services and/or requirements of the multiple cloud storage providers. Having evaluated such storage policies, the policy engine generates and provides operating parameters to the chunking engine, which uses the operating parameters when chunking and/or distributing the data across the multiple cloud storage providers, thereby satisfying the respective storage policies. In this way, users of data storage systems obtain the benefits of cloud storage resources and/or services while reducing their data security concern and optimizing the total cost of data storage.

Abstract: A method for reconfiguring disbursement signals at a payment system is discussed. The method includes receiving a general disbursement signal for triggering a first fund transfer of a portion of funds from a buyer account to a general account at the payment system, the first fund transfer for purchasing an item via a marketplace. The method includes, in response to receiving the general disbursement signal, performing the first fund transfer. The method includes determining whether a merchant disbursement signal is received from a second source, the merchant disbursement signal for triggering a second fund transfer of a portion of the funds from the general account to the merchant account. The method also includes determining, based on whether the merchant disbursement signal is received from the second source, whether to reconfigure a disbursement module to receive a different merchant disbursement signal for triggering the second fund transfer.

The method includes receiving, from a marketplace, a first communication indicating a cart, the cart comprising items for purchase, the items originating from one or more sellers. The method includes performing a first risk analysis on the cart to determine whether to accept the cart for processing into a queue, the first risk analysis being a cart-level analysis.

Abstract: A method for managing de-queuing of transaction queues is discussed. The method includes determining a queue capacity of a queue, where the queue includes a plurality of requested transactions. The requested transactions indicate items for purchase from one or more sellers, and the queue capacity indicates a capacity of the queue to store requested transactions. The method includes determining a transaction capacity of a processing module, where the transaction capacity indicates capacity of the processing module to process a number of requested transactions. The method also includes determining, based on the queue capacity and the transaction capacity, whether to limit a de-queue rate at which the requested transactions are de-queued from the queue by the processing module. In response to determining to limit the de-queue rate, the method adjusts operation of the processing module.

Abstract: A method for providing linked note-taking includes receiving a notification from an online presentation service presenting a document that a note file relating to the document has been created in a client application, requesting at least a portion of the document and document information from the online presentation service, receiving, from the online presentation service, the at least a portion of the document and document information retrieved from a client application where the document resides, receiving a note within the note file and associating the note with at least a portion of the document and document information without locally opening the document in the client application.

Abstract: A temperature of a component within the portable computing device (PCD) may be monitored along with a parameter associated with the temperature. The parameter associated with temperature may be an operating frequency, transmission power, or a data flow rate. It is determined if the temperature has exceeded a threshold value. If the temperature has exceeded the threshold value, then the temperature is compared with a temperature set point and a first error value is then calculated based on the comparison. Next, a first optimum value of the parameter is determined based on the first error value. If the temperature is below or equal to the threshold value, then a present value of the parameter is compared with a desired threshold for the parameter and a second error value is calculated based on the comparison. A second optimum value of the parameter may be determined based on the second error value.

Abstract: Described are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products for analyzing system dumps. A method for analyzing a first system dump is performed by a computing system. The first system dump is received by the computing system, the first system dump generated by a first server in response to the first server detecting a first error. First diagnostic data are extracted, by the computing system, from the first system dump, the first diagnostic data comprising at least first call stack data for the first server. Second diagnostic data are identified by the computing system that are indicative of the first error by comparing the first call stack data of the first diagnostic data to second call stack data of the second diagnostic data.

Abstract: A single-ended input sense amplifier uses a pass device to couple the input local bit-line to a global bit-line evaluation node. The sense amplifier also includes a pair of cross-coupled inverters, a first inverter of which has an input that coupled directly to the global bit-line evaluation node. The output of the second inverter is selectively coupled to the global bit-line evaluation node in response to a control signal, so that when the pass device is active, the local bit line charges or discharges the global bit-line evaluation node without being affected substantially by a state of the output of the second inverter. When the control signal is in the other state, the cross-coupled inverter forms a latch. An internal output control circuit of the second inverter interrupts the feedback provided by the second inverter in response to the control signal.

Abstract: A method of operation of a high-voltage word-line driver circuit for a memory device prevents any single transistor of the driver from having the full power supply voltage from which the word-line output signal is generated, from being applied across any single transistor of the word-line driver circuit. A pair of cascode devices are connected in series with the pull-down device of the input stage and a pull-up device of the input stage, and biased using reference voltages to control the maximum voltage drop across the pull-down device when the pull-down device is off and the pull-up device is active, and to control the maximum voltage drop across the pull-up device when the pull-down device is active. The output stage also includes cascode devices that protect the output pull-down and pull-up devices, and the reference voltages that bias the input and output cascode pairs may be the same reference voltages.
