Abstract: A hardware reconfiguration system for first and second devices is in a lock-step configuration using a comparator that provides a lock-step error indication. The system includes at least one register that stores a lock-step threshold. The system also includes a lock-step monitor configured to compare a count of occurrences of the lock-step error indication from the comparator with the lock-step threshold. When the lock-step threshold is reached, the lock-step monitor is configured to enter a repair state to determine which one of the first and second devices is operating correctly and reconfigure operation into a split-lock mode to resume operation using the one of the first and second devices that is operating correctly.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automated AI-based conversation conduction is disclosed. The method includes generating a URL link for an end user and transmitting it via electronic messaging. Upon activation, a webhook listener detects the event and triggers an API request to a cloud-based telephony system, which establishes a real-time voice session and routes it to an NLP-based voice agent. The NLP-based voice agent synchronizes with an LLM-based AI agent, streaming the conversation and receiving AI-generated responses in real time for delivery to the end user. Simultaneously, the conversation is streamed to an LLM-based observer service implemented as a sidecar process, which detects anomalies using dynamically configurable function plug-ins. A transcript of the session is sent to the LLM-based AI agent for evaluation, and the resulting assessment is transmitted to a reviewer.

Abstract: Techniques for resource sharing between cloud-hosted virtual networks are described. A first network address of a first virtual network is associated with a resource connected to a second virtual network, the first and second virtual networks within a cloud provider network. A service of the cloud provider network receives a message destined for the first network address. The service translates the first network address to a second network address of the resource in the second virtual private network. The service sends the message to the resource at the second network address in the second virtual network.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data management are described. A data management system (DMS) may provide backup and recovery services for customer computing systems or databases. The DMS may implement an active/passive partition scheme to enable reception of log files in a push manner and avoid frequent building and teardown of the stack to back up the database. The DMS may implement two storage partitions which alternate between an active and passive state. Received log files may be stored temporarily in a first storage partition in the active state. Once the first storage partition is transitioned to the passive state, the DMS may capture a snapshot of the storage partition and may store the snapshot. When the first storage partition is transitioned to the passive state, the second storage partition may be transitioned to the active state so that the DMS may continue to receive log files.

The method further includes forwarding, by the SEPP, the SBI message with the dynamically adjusted SBI message priority attribute value to the administrative domain.

Abstract: Techniques for a hybrid network directory service are described. Messages forming a request to launch an instance within a cloud provider network are received, the messages including an identifier of a customer virtual network within the cloud provider network, the customer virtual network having connectivity to another network outside of the cloud provider network, the other network outside of the cloud provider network having a directory service. An instance is launched, the instance having connectivity to the customer virtual network. A server of the directory service on the other network outside of the cloud provider network is identified. The identified server is caused to add the instance as a node of the directory service. Directory service data received from the identified server is stored. Directory service requests originating from the customer virtual network are processed.

Abstract: A system and method reduce advertisement latency by executing a Software Development Kit (SDK) within a device-resident application. In response to an ad-placement request, the SDK simultaneously issues bid requests to (i) at least one mediation platform and (ii) multiple header-bidding partners (HBPs). The mediation platform is traversed through dynamically ordered floor-price groups until an ad fill is returned, allowing the SDK to infer an approximate mediation bid range from the group that produced the fill. In parallel, the SDK determines the highest HBP bid. Both the mediation-platform ad object and the HBP ad object—together with their respective bid information—are cached in volatile memory. The SDK then compares the highest HBP bid to an upper bound of the inferred mediation bid range, identifies the maximum bid, and instantly renders the cached ad object corresponding to that bid, thereby minimizing network latency while maximizing revenue.

The method further includes automatically determining, by the NF service consumer and using the NF analytics data, a 3gpp-Sbi-Max-Rsp-Time header value for an SBI request message, adding, by the NF service consumer, the 3gpp-Sbi-Max-Rsp-Time header value to the SBI request message, and transmitting, by the NF service consumer, the SBI request message to a destination.
