Abstract: At a managed control plane service, end-user application programming interfaces (APIs) of an application to be implemented at a provider network are determined. A set of common operational requirements of the application, to be fulfilled without obtaining program code for the requirements, are identified. In response to an invocation of an end-user API of the application, computations are performed at a resource selected by the managed control plane service, and one or more tasks to satisfy a common operational requirement are initiated by the managed control plane service.

Abstract: A first electronic device is configured to operate in a restricted mode of operation, which restricted mode may be terminated or continued by one or more remotely located authorization devices, according to predetermined criteria. In a restricted mode, a first set of permitted applications stored on the first electronic device are executable, and a first set of data is accessible. While operating in the restricted mode, the first device detects a termination condition of the restricted mode and transmits an indication of the termination condition to one or more authorization devices. After transmitting the request, the first electronic devices receives an indication that the restricted mode of the operation has been continued according to predetermined criteria. Responsive to receiving the indication, the first electronic device continues to operate in the restricted mode according to the predetermined criteria.

Abstract: A frame assembly for a doorway defined by two substantially vertical sides and a substantially horizontal side comprises a header jamb having a top surface, a bottom surface, and one or two header jamb rebates. The top surface of the head jamb is adapted for fixedly mounting to the substantially horizontal side of the doorway and the header jamb rebates located on the bottom surface across the length of the header jamb define a header soffit. The frame assembly comprises two upright jambs each having an outer surface and a top end. The outer surface of each of the upright jambs is adapted for fixedly mounting to one of the two substantially vertical sides of the doorway. The top end of each of the upright jambs have a slot for receiving a portion of the header soffit such that, when assembled, the header soffit engages in the slots.

Abstract: Clock skew may be detected measured and compensated for using phase detectors and variable delay adjusters. Phase detectors may be distributed throughout a clock distribution network and may be configured to analyze two clock signals to determine how often one signal leads the other. The output of the phase detectors may be measured and counted over a large number of clock cycles. The difference between the number of times one signal leads or lags behind the other may be used to determine the amount of delay to apply to the leading clock signal in order to minimize (reduce) skew between the two clock signals. The same techniques for detecting and measuring clock skew may also be used to detect and measure jitter in the clock signals. By configuring variable delay adjusters on clock signals, the amount of jitter in the clock signals can be measured or characterized.

Abstract: A system and method for using variable delay adjusters located at various points across an integrated circuit to measure clock skew and jitter for clock signals of the integrated circuit. A delay controller of the integrated circuit may measure and compensate for clock skew detected between two clock signals by configuring variable delay adjusters located inline with the respective clock signals. Such a delay controller may also use the variable delay adjusters to correct duty cycle errors in a clock signal and may further utilize the variable delay adjusters to measure and characterize jitter detected on the clock signals.
