Abstract: A computer server controls access to a hosted service using digital certificates that are requested from each client attempting to access the service. When a particular client accesses the hosted service, the host service requests a digital certificate from the particular client and issues a challenge message. The particular client signs the challenge message and provides a client digital certificate to the hosted service. The hosted service confirms that the signature on the challenge message matches the client digital certificate, and that the client digital certificate is signed by a trusted entity. Trusted entities are defined by an administrator by uploading, to the hosted service, one or more trusted digital certificates associated with a trusted entities. Using the trusted digital certificates, the hosted service confirms that the digital certificate provided by the particular client is signed by at least one of the trusted entities.

Abstract: A technique for running queries is provided that includes a method and system for managing unstructured data and for capturing uncertain relationships between pieces of data. A structural schema is generated from unstructured data that is configured to evolve in response to user input and incoming data that is changing over the course of an application. The schema is also configured to capture relationships between data that are uncertain or difficult for a person to capture in a consistent or comprehensive manner. The technique is especially advantageous for running and returning meaningful responses to queries that require an ability to connect pieces of data received from unstructured data or disparate sources, including user input, or where the query is directed to information that is uncertain or was not anticipated as useful or relevant at the time the data containing the information was originally received.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for generating an information interface. For example, a user may select content within a webpage (e.g., a camera review section of a shopping webpage). The content may be captured from the webpage (e.g., a camera review, a camera price, a camera image, etc.). An information interface may be generated for the content, and the content may be populated within the information interface. For example, a standalone application and/or an operating system interface (e.g., a tile) may be populated with the camera review, the camera price, the camera image, and/or other information from the camera review section of the shopping webpage. The information interface may be dynamically updated based upon a content update for the content from the webpage. For example, pricing information, displayed through the information interface, may be updated based upon a sale price being posted to the shopping webpage.

Abstract: A set of six atomic primitives are provided for a database management system that may be used in combination to provide all of the common features and functions of a clustered database, including data failover, auto-healing, and elastic scaling. These six atomic primitives include CREATE, DROP, DETACH, ATTACH, COPY, and PROMOTE. Of particular note, it is shown that by maintaining appropriate metadata, including the status of each instance of each partition in the cluster, the versatility and reliability of this set of primitives is sufficient to implement each of the aforementioned data failover, auto-healing, and elastic scaling functions with high efficiency using a minimal number of these primitives. Each primitive is atomic (such that the cluster clearly in one state or another) and online (a workload of reads and writes is uninterrupted while the primitive runs), and each primitive is scoped to a single partition of data, thereby enabling parallel processing.

Abstract: Upon receiving a first message, from the second network device, indicating that the second network device is incompatible with one or more virtual local area network (VLAN) pruning techniques, a timer on a first network device is configured to expire after a predetermined period of time. The first network device is configured to maintain a subscription for the second network device to one or more VLANs until the timer expires. The second network device is configured to transmit the first message in response to detecting an upcoming control plane outage at the second device. Prior to the timer expiring, embodiments transmit data assigned to the one or more VLANs to the second network device. Embodiments also periodically receive update messages, from the second network device, identifying one or more VLANs to which the second network device wants to subscribe.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a virtual device context (vDC) domain may be advertised to other network devices. If at least a partition of each device is determined to belong to the same vDC domain, the network interface communicating with the at least one device may be activated.

Abstract: Techniques for assigning context to a digitally captured image, and for manipulating recognized data fields within such image. In an exemplary embodiment, a context of an image may be assigned based on, e.g., user input or pattern recognition. Based on the assigned context, recognized data fields within the image may be manipulated according to context-specific processing. In an aspect, processing specific to a sales receipt context may automatically manipulate certain data, e.g., calculate updated sales tax and subtotals based on user-designated fields, and display the automatically calculated data in an output receipt. Fields not designated by the user may be selectively concealed in the output receipt for privacy. Further aspects disclose processing techniques specific to other contexts such as restaurant menu, store shelf, and fillable form contexts.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to allocating a sub-area of Fiber Channel addresses (FCIDs) to a device. A range of addresses may be assigned to the device using a mask address, where the most significant bits represent a mask and the least significant bits represent a sub-range of FCIDs available to be assigned to the device. Therefore, routing information may be stored efficiently in a Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) by storing a single entry in the TCAM for each sub-area of FCIDs allocated to a device, instead of storing an entry for each FCID. The single entry may indicate the mask address and the width of the mask.
