Abstract: Systems and methods for device functionality control utilizing activity prediction are disclosed. For example, an activity model is utilized to identify activities associated with sensor data collected from connected devices within an environment. Target device usage data is then associated with the activities to determine probability values that the target device will be operated when the identified activities are detected. Commands may be generated and sent to the target device to perform a function when the identified activities are detected.

Abstract: A design system for creating a new design by combining two or more input designs is provided. The design system comprises a design selection module configured to select two or more input designs based on a plurality of parameters. The design system further comprises a design computing module coupled to the design selection module and configured to compute one or more number design elements for each input design and compute a plurality of split points for each design elements. The design system further includes a design generation module configured to selectively combine design elements from different input designs to generate a new design.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a service worker processes network requests by proxying the network requests via a content distribution network. The service worker intercepts a network request from a client application, generates a duplicate network request, and changes certain elements of the duplicate network request. The intercepted request can be an initial document request used to load a webpage or a subsequent request that includes an application programming interface (API) call. The service worker transmits the duplicate network request to a content distribution network that proxies the duplicate request to a cloud computing system, thereby accelerating that request.

Abstract: Techniques, systems, and articles of manufacture for managing network utility of applications on cloud data centers. A method includes computing a network utility value for each of multiple applications in a data center network, determining a virtual machine placement and an application flow routing within the data center network for each of the multiple applications which have a computed network utility value below a pre-determined network utility threshold, and based on said determining, re-routing one or more of the multiple application flow routings and performing a virtual machine migration of one or more virtual machines associated with at least one of the multiple applications which have a computed network utility value below a pre-determined network utility threshold.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preventing and/or treating a patient with acute kidney injury caused by a variety of conditions. The method comprises administering to the patient soluble thrombomodulin variants that do not bind thrombin. In conjunction with standard of care, soluble thrombomodulin variants that do not bind thrombin will prevent or reduce acute kidney injury and subsequent morbidity and mortality.
