Abstract: A method for exchanging outbound registration count information among I-CSCFs and using the outbound registration count information for S-CSCF selection includes receiving, at a first I-CSCF of a cluster of I-CSCFs and from each S-CSCF in a cluster of S-CSCFs, a value indicating a registration capacity of the S-CSCF. The method further includes receiving, at the first I-CSCF and from at least one other I-CSCF in the cluster of I-CSCFs, outbound registration counts indicating numbers of outbound registrations that the at least one other I-CSCF has with the S-CSCFs in the cluster of S-CSCFs. The method further includes calculating, by the first I-CSCF and using the values indicating the registration capacities of the S-CSCFs and the outbound registration counts, values indicating updated registration capacities of the S-CSCFs. The method further includes using, by the first I-CSCF, the values indicating the updated registration capacities to select an S-CSCF for at least one outbound registration message.

Abstract: An method for load balancing session initiation protocol (SIP) registration requests using Cx health status includes monitoring, by an S-CSCF, at least one health parameter of a Cx interface associated with the S-CSCF. The method further includes determining, by the S-CSCF, a health category of the Cx interface associated with the S-CSCF based on the at least one health parameter. The method further includes sending, by the S-CSCF to an Interrogating Call Session Control Function (I-CSCF), an indication of the health category of the Cx interface associated with the S-CSCF. The method further includes load balancing, by the I-CSCF, SIP registration requests between the S-CSCF and at least one additional S-CSCF based on the received indication of the health category of the Cx interface associated with the S-CSCF.

Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer-storage media, and graphical user interfaces are provided for facilitating efficient meeting management, according to embodiments of the present technology. In one embodiment, engagement data associated with an attendee of an online meeting is obtained. Thereafter, an engagement metric is generated using the engagement data, the engagement metric indicating an extent of engagement of the attendee to the online meeting. Based on the engagement metric indicating that the extent of engagement of the attendee to the online meeting falls below an engagement threshold, a request is provided to disconnect or throttle an audio and/or video stream of the online meeting to and/or from an attendee device associated with the attendee of the online meeting. Efficient meeting management may also be performed by clustering related messages.

Abstract: A core-shell microparticle includes a shell containing at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of fluorine-containing polymers, fluorine-free vinyl polymers, and silicone polymers, and a core containing a fluorocarbon.

Abstract: An embodiment may have two rotary discs including a second disc (a cap) and a first disc; and a rotary ‘cam’ (having ports) placed in the central hole of the first disc. A cap is half the diameter of the first disc. Both face each other and maintain contour complementarity during both of two modes of operation The cap seals the cavity underneath, and without jeopardizing the sealing, permits entry and exit of the radial ridges and furrows of the first disc into it. The ridges sweep the floor (under surface) of the cap and divide the cavity into variable volume compartments that suck and expel fluid simultaneously through the ‘cam’. The machine is designed to work as rotary pump, compressor, turbine or internal combustion engine.

Abstract: An embodiment may have two rotary discs including a second disc (a cap) and a first disc; and a rotary ‘cam’ (having ports) placed in the central hole of the first disc. A cap is half the diameter of the first disc. Both face each other and maintain contour complementarity (wall height of the second disc+radial depth of the first disc is constant at contact); either, when both discs rotate on their axes, placed the second disc's radius apart, or when the second disc rotates and revolves on the face of stationary first disc. The cap seals the cavity underneath during the two motions, and without jeopardizing the sealing, permits entry and exit of the radial ridges and furrows of the first disc into it. The ridges sweep the floor (under surface) of the cap and divide the cavity into variable volume compartments that suck and expel fluid simultaneously through the ‘cam’. The machine is designed to work as rotary pump, compressor, turbine or internal combustion engine.
