Abstract: A proxy server receives a synchronization request from an application program resident on a user device. The proxy server determines that the user device requires removal of application program data and synchronizes the application program resident on the user device with a null account that is associated with application program.

Abstract: Systems, devices, computer-implemented methods, and tangible non-transitory computer-readable media that facilitate intelligent and dynamic updates to membership of group object(s) based on a change to an attribute value with respect to an entity associated with the group object(s). In an embodiment, a computing system can: create a first group object using an attribute value that can at least partly define membership of group member(s) of the first group object; generate a dependency mapping file that maps the attribute value to second group object(s) created using the attribute value; employ the dependency mapping file to identify the second group object(s) upon detection of a change to the attribute value with respect to an entity associated with the first group object and the second group object(s); and/or update membership of the first group object and the second group object(s) to reflect the change to the attribute value with respect to the entity.

Abstract: A spring element includes a body, at least one leaf spring and a stress relieving section. The body includes at least one mounting section. The leaf spring includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion being secured to the body and at least a part thereof extends angularly with respect to a plane of the body. The leaf spring exerts an urging pressure on an element disposed between the body and a housing as the body is mounted on the housing. The stress relieving section is formed along at least one lateral side of the leaf spring and proximal to the first portion.

Abstract: A method of estimating available bandwidth for a network comprising a transmitting device and a receiving device, the method comprising: transmitting a media packet stream over the network to the receiving device, the media packets comprising media data for streaming media at the receiving device; transmitting one or more probe packets over the network so as to test the available bandwidth of the network, wherein the probe packets comprise duplicate data of the media packet stream; and determining, during transmission of the probe packets, a measure of network bandwidth availability in dependence on one or more metrics associated with receiving the media packet stream at the receiving device.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for implementing extensible upgrade and modification as a service are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes processing one or more modifiers, wherein each modifier includes an independent processing unit having a given canonical structure and is configured to execute one or more automated actions related to at least one of application modification and application migration; obtaining data pertaining to multiple applications across multiple computing environments; determining, based at least in part on processing at least a portion of the obtained data, at least one of the one or more modifiers applicable for use in executing at least one of the one or more automated actions in connection with at least a portion of the multiple applications; and executing the at least one of the one or more automated actions using the at least one determined modifier.

Abstract: A method and system for selectively defining hardware parameters in an executable operating system program provides the advantage of enabling or disabling hardware features during testing without having to modify and recompile the operating system source program. In an implementation of a preferred embodiment, a hardware control variable is stored in a configuration file in memory. The configuration file is accessible to the user to define or modify the hardware control variable as desired. The hardware control variable contains a number of hardware control bits, each corresponding to a hardware parameter in the executable operating system program. During execution, the executable operating system program defines the hardware parameters based on the values of the corresponding hardware control bits. The executable operating system program enables or disables the hardware features based on how the hardware parameters are defined.
