Abstract: Disclosed is a system for analyzing and optimizing conference experiences. The system may identify parameters associated with a conference between a set of User Equipment (“UEs”) used by different conference participants to access the conference. The system may compare the identified parameters to sets of parameters associated with a classification model. The system may identify, based on the comparing and the model output, a particular classification for the conference, and may calculate an impact of each conference parameter on the particular classification based on a particular parameter combination included in the model for the particular classification. The system may determine that a subset of the conference parameters has a larger impact on the particular classification than other conference parameters, may select one or more actions that are associated with the particular classification and the subset of parameters, and may perform the one or more actions.

Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to controlling geo-scale analytics with bandwidth and regulatory constraints. An analytical query (e.g., a recurrent analytical query, a non-recurrent analytical query, etc.) to be executed over distributed data in data partitions stored in a plurality of data centers can be received. Moreover, a query execution plan for the analytical query can be generated, where the query execution plan includes tasks. Further, replication strategies for the data partitions can be determined. A replication strategy for a particular data partition can specify one or more data centers to which the particular data partition is to be replicated if the particular data partition is to be replicated. The tasks of the query execution plan for the analytical query can further be scheduled to the data centers based on the replication strategies for the data partitions. The analytical query can be part of a workload of analytical queries.

Abstract: An escapement mechanism of a cutlery dispenser causes a cutlery article to fall from a vertical stack onto a slide track that guides it to a dispensing position. A slide channel and head channel of the slide track can laterally confine the cutlery article. A dampening surface can reduce cutlery bouncing and skewing. The escapement mechanism can include at least three pivots and/or a coil return spring. Dispensers can be installed in a base in any desired combination and retained therein by compatible features such as flanges and slots that prevent dispenser tipping. In embodiments, individual dispensers can be horizontally slid part-way out of the base to access side features that would otherwise be obscured by a neighboring dispenser. A cutlery quantity indicator can laterally contact the cutlery stack and can pivot to display a low-cutlery signal when the cutlery stack falls below an indicator height.
