Abstract: Software of devices, such as medical devices or other constrained devices configured to implement specific functions, can use content files to determine text strings or other content values to present in association with user interface elements. Devices can receive relevant content files, such as new versions of previously-stored content files or new content files containing text in different languages, from a remote content file repository. The software of the devices can accordingly update content values presented in user interfaces based on newly received content files, without the software being re-coded, the software being restarted, or the devices rebooting.

Abstract: A system for troubleshooting network problems is disclosed. A model can use demographic information, network usage information, and network membership information to determine an importance of a problem. The importance of the problem for the user who reported the problem, a number of other users affected by the problem, and the importance of the problem to the other users can be used to determine a priority for resolving the problem. Before and after a work order is executed to resolve the problem, network metrics can be gathered, including aggregate network metrics, and automatically presented in various user interfaces. The analysis of the metrics can be used to update a database of which work orders are assigned in response to which problems.
