Abstract: A method for controlling transactional processing system having transactions that include multiple tasks, a throughput limit a transaction processing time limit includes allocating a plurality of threads to be used by multiple tasks to achieve a throughput approximating the throughput limit. The method assigns the multiple tasks to the plurality of threads and assigns respectively different processing delays to the plurality of threads. The processing delays span an interval less than the transaction processing time limit. The method processes the multiple tasks within the transaction processing time limit by executing the plurality of threads at times determined by the respective processing delays.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments for information barriers that are conditional on the type of information being communicated. Information barrier polices provided by the disclosed embodiments selectively allow communication between accounts or groups based on characteristics of the content of the communication. For example, communication between a marketing department and an engineering department may be conditional on the communication not including any sensitive information. The determination of whether the communication includes sensitive information is further designed to provide good performance even in environments that maintain substantial portions of data in an offsite or cloud environment, where latencies associated with searching large datastores can be prohibitive.

Abstract: A system provides electronic integration and deployment of computer code in a code development network. The system may comprise a multilayered distributed ledger structure and may perform real-time source code conflict checks by combining the latest nonce from a primary distributed ledger with the genesis block of a working distributed ledger into a hash algorithm. Depending on whether the output of said hash algorithm satisfies the cryptographic challenge set by the distributed ledger system, the system may be able to detect mismatches between the source code found in a working distributed ledger and the source code found in the primary distributed ledger. Furthermore, the system may include production systems as nodes of the primary distributed ledger such that the production systems may maintain updated copies of the source code throughout the software development process.

Abstract: The disclosed methods and systems use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies to model the usage and interference on each channel. For example, units of the system can measure channel interference regularly over the time of day on all radios. The interference information is communicated to the base unit or a cloud server for pattern analysis. Interference measurements include interference from units within the system as well as interference from nearby devices. The base unit or the cloud server can recognize the pattern of the interference. Further, connected devices have a number of network usage characteristics observed and modeled including bitrate, and network behavior. These characteristics are used to assign channels to connected devices.

Abstract: The disclosure is related to adaptive encoding of video streams from a camera. A camera system includes a camera and a base station connected to each other in a first communication network, which can be a wireless network. When a user requests to view a video from the camera, the base station obtains an encoded video stream from the camera and transmits the encoded video stream to a user device. The base station monitors multiple environmental parameters, such as network parameters, camera parameters, and system parameters of the base station, and instructs the camera to adjust the encoding of the video stream, in an event one or more environmental parameters change.

Abstract: Presented herein is an exemplified system and method that facilitate network-aware orchestration of similar sets of virtualized multicast-traffic receivers and/or sources (e.g., Virtual Machines) under a common network fabric element (e.g., same leaf switch and/or spine switch in a data center network fabric), e.g., to reduce network switch work load and/or number of network fabric elements involved with transmission of multicast traffic. The orchestration of scattered- and like-sets of multicast-traffic receivers and/or sources under a common network fabric element (e.g., a single and same leaf switch and/or spine switch) facilitates improvements of the operation of orchestration management technologies and virtualization overlay technologies by, e.g., improving network efficiency for multicast packet switching, reducing control plane traffic (e.g., IGMP queries), and reducing delay- and packet-transfer errors.
