Abstract: Mobility service providers and others can use cloud platforms to meet customer demand. Due to changing demand or changing technology numerous issues arise. For example, server utilization within the cloud platform can become less efficient over time. As another example, virtual machines and virtual network functions processed by the cloud platform typically need to be extensively tested and certified, which can be expensive. Moreover, intra-platform communication can play a significant role in the costs to operate a cloud platform. Techniques detailed herein can address many of these issues, e.g., by providing mechanisms for increasing host or server utilization in response to changing demand, introducing a container technique for virtual machines to mitigate testing costs, and modeling bandwidth resources.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable instructions stored on machine-readable media are disclosed for selecting, based on an analysis of a first process executing on a first host, at least one of a plurality of other hosts to which to migrate the first process, the selecting being further based on an analysis of the plurality of the other hosts and an analysis of processes executing on the plurality of the other hosts. At least one predictive analysis technique is used to predict an amount of time to complete migrating the first process to the selected at least one of the plurality of other hosts and an end time of the second process. In response to determining that a current time incremented by the predicted amount of time to complete migrating the first process is later than or equal to the predicted end time of the second process, a migration time at which to migrate the first process from the first host to the selected at least one of the plurality of other hosts is scheduled.

Abstract: An example involves determining a first cost associated with assigning routing information for a subset of virtual private networks (VPNs) to a first subset of linecards of a router by determining a cost as a sum of: a first product of (1) a first number of routes associated with a first VPN of the first subset of the VPNs and (2) a number of the linecards included in the first subset of the linecards; and a second product of (1) a second number of routes associated with a second VPN of the first subset of the VPNs and (2) the number of the linecards included in the first subset of the linecards. The first subset of the linecards is configured with routing information for the first subset of the VPNs when the first subset of the VPNs is assigned to the first subset of the linecards based on the cost.

Abstract: A method of increasing the efficacy of treatment for a patient suffering from urothelial carcinoma. The method comprises the steps of determining the presence or absence in a biological sample from the patient of somatic ERCC2 mutation followed by performing appropriate treatment. The absence of somatic ERCC2 mutation indicates that the urothelial carcinoma is likely to be unresponsive to cisplatin chemotherapy, and the patient then undergoes surgery to remove the carcinoma without accompanying cisplatin chemotherapy. The presence of somatic ERCC2 mutation indicates that the uroethelial carcinoma is likely to be responsive to cisplatin chemotherapy and the patient then undergoes surgery to remove the carcinoma accompanied by cisplatin chemotherapy.

Abstract: The disclosure describes a system for applying custom branded tape to packages that are shipped from a multi-seller materials handling facility. In some implementations, a materials handling facility may store, process and ship items for multiple sellers. As items are packed for shipping, a tape dispensing device may dispense custom branded tape associated with the seller of the item(s) being packed such that the sellers brand, logo or other information is presented on the exterior of the container.
