Abstract: Electronic form (e-form) processing includes generating an e-form based on a form template, the form template being selected from pre-defined form templates. The e-form includes modular sections arranged in a pre-defined order, each modular section being associated with user privileges. Further, data is retrieved from at least one database to partly populate at least one of the modular sections in the e-form. Subsets of the modular sections are provided to designated users based on the user privileges and a workflow associated with the e-form. A processed e-form, including the retrieved data and the data inputs, and having at least one external document, is created based on data inputs received from the designated users. A processed electronic document including the modular sections populated with the retrieved data, the data inputs, and external data from the external document arranged in the pre-defined order is generated from the processed e-form.

Abstract: In some examples, machine learning based incident classification and resolution may include analyzing an issue associated with performance of a task or operation of an application or a device, and determining, based on the analysis of the issue and based on a machine learning based automated incident resolution model, whether the issue is appropriate for automated resolution. If so, automated resolution of the issue may be implemented to resolve the issue. Alternatively, a machine learning based incident classification model may be used to determine whether an incident associated with the issue is actionable or non-actionable. If the incident is actionable, a machine learning based incident ticket creation and routing model may be used to generate an incident ticket associated with the incident, and determine support personnel selected from a plurality of support personnel to resolve the incident ticket.

Abstract: Technology for gateway selection in a mesh network is described. In one embodiment, upon restart of a root node in the mesh network, the root node generates first Root Node Announcement (RANN) information and sends one or more announcement messages comprising the first RANN information to other mesh nodes in the mesh network. The RANN information comprises information about a type of backhaul connection between the root node and one or more network resources external to the mesh network and information about a cost metric defining a cost associated with utilizing the root node computing device to access the one or more network resources for each of one or more mesh nodes in the mesh network since those one or more mesh nodes do not have direct access to the one or more network resources.

Abstract: The social networking system monitors implicit interactions between a user and objects of the social networking system with which the user has not established a connection. Based on the implicit interactions between the user and an object, the social networking system identifies a soft connection between the user and the object. The social networking system may then identify soft connections to include in a candidate list of soft connections to recommend to the user. The social networking system may also extract signals from the set of candidate list of soft connections, and may use the extracted signals to rank the soft connections in the list of candidate soft connections. The social networking system may then recommend soft connections to the user based on the rank associated with the soft connections in the candidate list of soft connections.

Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for improving search engine ranking of a landing page using automated analysis of landing pages of third-party entities. Certain embodiments include receiving, at a user interface, a primary keyword associated with a targeted landing page of a primary entity; transmitting the primary keyword to a search engine; and receiving a search engine results page from the search engine. The search engine results page may be used to identify landing pages of third-party entities having a higher rank than the targeted landing page. Secondary keywords occurring on the third-party landing pages may be identified and analyzed to determine whether inclusion of the secondary keyword in the targeted landing page will increase ranking of the targeted landing page in the search engine.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for improving startup times of a cloud-based virtual servers in response to a spike in service usage (although other applications are contemplated and described). According to some embodiments, in response to a request to provision a new virtual server in a cluster, high-priority services (e.g., those that enable the server to respond to system health checks or that support an application providing the service) are started while lower-priority services are delayed. In some embodiments, prior to receiving such a request, a new server may be started and then hibernated to create a “hot spare.” When the request is received, the hot spare may be taken out of hibernation to quickly bring the hot spare online. It is contemplated that the delayed-startup and hot spare embodiments may be used together to further improve performance.

The event monitor component may select a custom event receiver component associated with the publisher entity from among multiple custom event receiver components, and send the external event notification message to the selected custom event receiver component. The custom event receiver component may implement custom business logic, such as code callouts designed for specific application programs or system programs. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A high-frequency inverter architecture is provided that compensates for coupling variations in wireless power transfer (WPT) systems, while adapted to operate at a fixed frequency and maintaining high efficiency. This implementation, termed a variable compensation inverter (VCI), includes a plurality of high-frequency inverters feeding a lossless resonant network, with the inputs of the inverters fed by controllable voltages. By appropriately controlling the input voltages of the individual inverters and their relative phase-shift, the VCI can maintain near-resistive, and slightly but sufficiently inductive, loading of the inverters even as the reactance of the WPT coupler changes; hence, providing compensation while maintaining zero-voltage and near-zero-current switching. The VCI also ensures that the output power of the WPT system is maintained at a fixed level even during coupling variations.

The provider system may encrypt a certified document using the session public key and store the encrypted certified document in the decentralized storage. The verifier system may retrieve the encrypted certified document by polling the trusted API provider based on the session nonce. The verifier system may decrypt the encrypted certified document using the session private key.
