Abstract: According to aspects of the disclosed subject matter, a network protection service for processing network traffic to assist a network site is presented. The network protection service is communicatively coupled to the network site over a network, and is configured to detect that the network site is experiencing adverse network conditions. Upon detecting that the network site is experiencing adverse network conditions, the network protection service causes that a portion of the network traffic intended for the network site is rerouted to the network protection service. The network protection service then forwards a portion of the network traffic rerouted to the network protection service to the network site.

Abstract: Systems and methods for updating user play lists in a content provider service. A computer system may receive indications of a plurality of content items to be removed from a digital content library of the content provider service. The computer system may query a user database to identify a plurality of user play lists comprising a reference to a first content item selected from the plurality of content items. Each of the plurality of user play lists may be associated with a user of the content provider service. The computer system may identify a second content item that is equivalent to the first content item. The computer system may update at least one user play list selected from the plurality of user play lists to replace references to the first content item with references to the second content item.

The comparing may comprise, for each combination of the first content item and one of the plurality of content items, identifying any characteristics from the plurality of content item characteristics for which first content item and the one of the plurality of content items has equivalent values. The computer system may identify at least one content item selected from the plurality of content items. The first content item and the at least one content item have equivalent values for a predetermined pattern of the plurality of content item characteristics.

Abstract: An ingress protected light-emitting diode (LED) fixture for outdoor and/or indoor use. In one example, a housing includes an acutely angled flange, and a plurality of LEDs fixed to an inside of the acutely angled flange. The LEDs are fixed to the acutely angled flange via a thermal interface to dissipate heat from the LEDs to the housing. An optical reflector is arranged in the housing to reflect light emitted by the LEDs. The optical reflector being customizable and having a shape specific to an application of the LED fixture. The LED fixture maintains a thin profile, making the LED fixture less susceptible to becoming accidently or intentionally damaged when mounted on low ceilings.

Abstract: On-demand protection and authorization of playback of media assets includes receiving digital media at a server computer, storing intermediary data in a data store, and receiving a request from a client for the digital media. The method also includes generating a protected copy of the digital media from the digital media and the intermediary data. The method also includes storing a description of the protected copy in a database and sending the protected copy to the client. The method also includes receiving a request from the client to access the digital media and reading the description from the database based on information in the request. The method also includes sending a response to the client, the response indicating whether the client is authorized to access the digital media, and the response including cryptographic data to decrypt the protected digital media if the client is authorized to access the digital media.

Abstract: A method is performed to collect information in a machine including an on-board data link connecting a wireless device and at least one on-board module. The process includes providing a first operational mode for the wireless device that allows the wireless device to perform a first set of operations on data associated with the at least one on-board module and providing a second operational mode for the wireless device that allows the wireless device to perform a second set of operations on the data associated with the at least one on-board module, wherein the second set of operations is a subset of the first set of operations. The process also determines an operational mode for the wireless device based on predetermined criteria and configures the wireless device based on the determined operational mode. Further, the process includes operating the wireless device in either the first or second operational mode based on the configuring.

Abstract: A network protection service is presented. The network protection service is configured to establish an arrangement with a subscribing host for providing assistance to the subscribing host upon detection of a triggering condition. A set of rules corresponding to the subscribing host for filtering network traffic directed to the subscribing host is determined. The network protection service monitors for a triggering condition for providing protective assistance for the subscribing host, and upon detection of a triggering condition, provides protective assistance to the subscribing host. The protective assistance includes causing network traffic directed to the subscribing host to be rerouted to the network protection service. The protective assistance further includes filtering the network traffic rerouted to the network protection service according to the set of rules corresponding to the subscribing host. At least some of the filtered network traffic is forwarded to the subscribing host.

Abstract: A network protection service for providing protective assistance to a subscribing host on a network is disclosed. The network protection service is configured to establish a relationship with a subscribing host also connected to the network. Moreover, based on the established relationship with the subscribing host, the network protection service is configured to detect a condition for providing protective assistance to the subscribing host. Upon detecting the condition, the network protection service provides protective assistance to the subscribing host. Providing protective assistance to the subscribing host comprises rerouting network traffic directed to the subscribing host to the network protection service, filtering the network traffic rerouted to the network protection service, and forwarding the filtered network traffic to the subscribing host.

Abstract: A method for providing protective assistance to a network site is presented. As implemented by a network protection service communicatively coupled to the network site via a network, the method comprises monitoring for a condition to provide protective assistance to the network site. Upon detecting that condition, the method includes causing network traffic directed to the network site be rerouted to the network protection service. Further still, determination is made as to whether a request in the rerouted network traffic corresponds to a request for information cached in a data store and, if so, responding with the cached information from the data store. Yet further, a portion of the rerouted network traffic is forwarded to the network site, the forwarded rerouted network traffic not including the request for cached information found in the data store.
