Abstract: A data packet communication system is described, which can be implemented as a physical push based data packet communication device, such as a router, a gateway, or a controller circuit coupled to a router or a gateway adapted for controlling data packet communications. The data packet communication system is adapted to evaluate network capacity of each of the multiple networks at the time of a monitored communication event and assigns data packets accordingly.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for predicting microservices required for incoming requests for reducing the start latency of serverless microservices. The method may include obtaining tracing data of microservices of an application for historical requests processed by the application. The method may also include grouping the tracing data based on common request attributes. The method may also include aggregating each group into rules relating the common request attributes to lists of microservices. The method may also include building a predictive model formed of the rules for processing incoming requests to obtain a list of predicted microservices required for the incoming request based on attributes of the incoming request.

Abstract: A marquee banner assembly includes one or more lightweight molding(s) that may be bowed under tension, at least one or more channels configured for the insertion of a flexible sign, and attachment brackets attachable to a substrate which may any vertical surface. The attachment brackets are angled to provide a curvature to the molding when the molding is attached to the brackets. The assembly may employ natural light alone, or any combination of natural light, artificial light.

Abstract: A process or may reduce start latency of serverless microservices. The processor may detect an incoming request or event to an application in a serverless microservice environment. The incoming request or event may initiate a chain of invocations of one or more microservices of the application. The processor may select an amount of selected microservices from the one or more microservices of the application. The amount of selected microservices may perform a task of the incoming request or event. The task may apply one or more predefined application-specific rules to one or more elements of the incoming request or event to determine the amount of selected microservices. The processor may trigger scaling up activation of the one or more microservices of the application. The processor may invoke the one or more microservices of the application to match the amount of selected microservices.

Abstract: Concepts for middleware in a web framework are presented. One example comprises defining a target object type configured to hold results of a middleware function. A first object for an application is received and a process of the middleware function is performed, using the first object, to generate a process result. Based on the process result, a second object of the target object type is generated, after which the second object is provided to the application.

Abstract: A broker-based publish/subscribe messaging system is administered in which a session-based network connection (such as TCP/IP) from an administrator publish/subscribe client application is established with a broker. Administration commands are received as messages from the administrator publish/subscribe client application at the broker via the session-based network connection and response messages are sent from the broker via the session-based network connection to only the administrator publish/subscribe client application.

Abstract: A rectangular banner display assembly for the rapid installation and replacement of ad banners having a frame with two horizontal members both of which are built of extruded segments with channels along which a pre-rolled banner is slid into position during installation. The frame includes a member supportive of a spindle over which the pre-rolled banner is placed and from which the banner is drawn longitudinally. A vertical end-cap with a hinge-able flap partially occludes the member supportive of a spindle while in a closed position, but is opened to access the spindle. A second vertical end cap with a hinge-able flap is opened to expel a banner to be replaced. A method of quickly replacing a previously installed ad banner with a new ad banner by taping the leading end of a new banner with the trailing end of previously installed banner is disclosed. While expelling the previously installed ad banner out the end of the banner display assembly, the new ad banner is drawn along to take its place.

Abstract: A single phase locked loop based device is used to detect alert tones and to decode data in caller display services signalling systems. The device has two sets of components (resistors) to configure the device to perform tone detection and data decoding. One or both of the sets of components are connected to the device by an electronically controlled switch.
