  • Publication number: 20260134347
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to the generation and deployment of a machine learning-enabled decision engine (MLDE). The MLDE includes decision options that are composed of a discrete list of selectable options. Further, the MLDE includes data inputs that can be used to influence decisions made by the machine learning models of the MLDE. Controls are applied to the MLDE to overlay and bound the decisioning within guidelines established by an operator of the MLDE. Once the MLDE is established, the MLDE is validated and deployed for use by software applications to make decisions.

  • Publication number: 20250321775
    Abstract: Dynamic, seamless management of virtual network function (VNF) in a highly available (HA) environment. An instance management program instantiates software instances in which a plurality of VNFs reside. A type of VNF is a MAC Domain (MD) VNF, which is a virtual network function that implements the DOCSIS CMTS MAC layer for a particular MAC domain. Upon determining that a particular VNF executing within a first software instance managed by an instance management program should be moved to a second software instance, the particular VNF is moved from the first software instance to the second software instance without ceasing operation of any other VNF also executing in the first software instance. A software instance may have both active and standby VNFs comprised therein. Failover operations of a particular VNF may be performed during runtime without ceasing operation of any of software instance or VNF not associated with the failed VNF.

  • Patent number: 12417445
    Abstract: The electronic device may invoke a host application. The device may display a first host user interface on the display, the first host user interface including a first host user interface component associated with a child application. In response, the device may invoke, using the host application, the child application executed at the electronic device. The device may transmit, using the host application, a request for data associated with a child user interface component to the child application. The device may transmit, using the child application, the request for data associated with the child user interface component to a child application server, wherein the data associated with the child user interface component is inaccessible by the host application. The device may receive, using the child application, the data associated with the child user interface component from the child application server. The device may display the child user interface component.

  • Publication number: 20250287071
    Abstract: Approaches for a machine comprising multiple CPU cores to process packets transmitted within a network using executable software. One or more packets are processing by advancing those packets through a sequence of two or more stage instances. Each stage instance of the sequence of two or more stage instances corresponds to one stage of a sequence of stages. The packets either carry DOCSIS data and/or is transmitted within a Passive Optical Network (PON). The packets may also be either received from the upstream direction or transmitted in the downstream direction. Each stage instance is restricted from being executed by more than one of the multiple CPU cores. Each stage instance can be executed by any one of the multiple CPU cores.

  • Patent number: 12289502
    Abstract: Approaches for processing packets transmitted within a Passive Optical Network (PON) using executable software. Processing packets within a PON may be performed by classifying one or more packets, of a plurality of received packets, to a particular PON system component, and then processing the one or more packets classified to the same PON system component on a single physical or virtual processor. The one or more packets may be forwarded between a sequence of one or more software stages. The software stages may each be configured to execute on separate logical cores or on a single logical core.

  • Publication number: 20230410195
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and techniques for dynamically providing real-time offers. For instance, user eligibility for one or more offers can be determined based on a plurality of dynamic user attributes associated with the user and one or more data sets corresponding to similarly situated users. An input can be received corresponding to an acceptance by the user of at least one offer selected from the one or more offers. In response to receiving the input, an updated plurality of the dynamic user attributes can be retrieved, wherein the dynamic user attributes are constantly updated in real time based on user activity. Based on the updated plurality of dynamic user attributes and the one or more data sets corresponding to the similarly situated user, it can be determined whether the user remains eligible for the at least one offer. An offer confirmation can be sent upon confirming eligibility.
