Abstract: A switchable rendering system uses both instanced rendering and vector rendering in rendering a raster or vector graphic with a nested repetition. The nested repetition includes multiple levels of repetition and for each level the switchable rendering system selects instanced rendering or vector rendering to render the level. This selection is based on resource availability, such as using instanced rendering for a level when the current resource availability is sufficient to allow instanced rendering for the level, and using vector rendering for a level when the current resource availability is not sufficient to allow instanced rendering for the level.

Abstract: Some embodiments include utilizing a multilink media access control (MAC) address structure to support multilink devices (MLDs) that can operate concurrently in more than one link such as extremely high throughput (EHT) access points (APs) and EHT stations (STA), where the multilink MAC address structure is compatible with legacy devices. An EHT AP can utilize a multilink basic service set (BSS) identification (BSSID) MAC address to communicate with an EHT STA identified by a multilink MAC address. Values of the multilink BSSID and the multilink MAC address of the EHT STA are independent of which of the multiple links are used in the communication. In addition, to utilizing a multilink BSSID, the EHT AP can also support unique link-specific MAC addresses to concurrently support legacy and MLD stations. The EHT STA can also utilize unique link-specific MAC addresses that can be different than the EHT AP's link-specific MAC addresses.

The incident data includes identification information about one or more first computing applications, devices, or services affected by the downtime or the interrupted service. The incident data further includes timing information relating to the historical incidents and version history information of the one or more first computing applications, devices, or services. The method further includes receiving root cause data indicating a cause of the historical incidents and receiving action data indicating a corrective or preventative action taken or to be taken in response to each of the historical incidents. The method further includes training a machine learning algorithm using the incident, root cause, and action data to create a trained model configured to determine a root cause and a new corrective or preventative action for a new incident.

Abstract: In some examples, a host device includes a battery capacity and/or battery resistance predictive model. The host device may predict a battery capacity value and/or batter resistance value of a rechargeable battery and compare the predicted battery capacity and/or predicted battery resistance to a battery capacity value and/or battery resistance value stored in a fuel gauge. The host device may overwrite the battery capacity value and/or battery resistance value stored in the fuel gauge with the predicted battery capacity value and/or the predicted battery resistance value if the difference is greater than a maximum error threshold.

Abstract: An object is coupled to a glyph in a text segment, while maintaining the text segment as editable. The text segment includes glyphs, which are graphical representations of characters. Each glyph is defined internally in the form of path information, which includes one or more points corresponding to the outline of the glyph. The path information for the text segment is determined and utilized in order to facilitate the coupling of an object with the text segment. The text segment remains editable as text subsequent to such coupling.

Abstract: Generally described, the presently disclosed technology utilizes managed Wi-Fi networks pre-installed throughout an MDU property to provide user-specific passphrases that can be used to access the single-SSID wireless network at the property and to provide a cloud portal that can enable convenient access to the functionalities (both by the resident and the manager) provided by the Wi-Fi controller and the Wi-Fi access points. By doing so, the Wi-Fi network management solutions described herein allow the users to experience the benefits of a shared Wi-Fi infrastructure, such as not having to set up and maintain their own Wi-Fi routers, while also allowing them to easily change their Wi-Fi settings from their connected devices.

Abstract: A cooling system can include a two-stage compressor, a variable speed fan and a controller for continuously modulating cooling capacity of the system. The compressor can run in a loaded state and the fan can run at a first speed when a call for cooling calls for maximum system cooling capacity. The compressor can run in the loaded state and the fan speed can decrease to a second fan speed as the called for cooling capacity decreases. The compressor can run in an unloaded state and the fan speed can be increased. The compressor can run in the unloaded state and the fan speed can decrease to a third fan speed as the called for cooling capacity decreases.

Abstract: A graphics processing system generates and employs an affine transformation matrix of transformations for creation of computer graphics replications. The affine transformation matrix encapsulates transformations to the base art to create a replication of a computer graphic. For given transformations, the graphics processing system identifies operations and operation configuration data relating to each operation. For each operation, the graphics processing system generates coefficients for the affine transformation matrix. The affine transformation matrix is multiplied with the base art to generate the repetition. In some configurations, each repetition may require more than one affine transformation matrix to achieve the desired repetition. The order of application of affine transformation matrices to the base art is also modified depending on order of operations to be applied to the base art. A prior repetition may serve as base art for another level of repetition.

Abstract: Transformation of graphic objects is described. A graphic object modification system receives an indication of a transformation to be performed on one or more graphic objects. For merger transformations, a stroke and a fill are identified for each graphic object being merged. Fill values are written to a buffer in a first pass, and stroke values are written to the buffer in a second pass without overwriting fill values. The merged graphic object is then output by rendering values stored in the buffer. For other non-merger transformations, z-order information is identified for each displayed graphic object. Graphic objects selected for transformation are allocated into clusters based on their z-order information. Clusters are rendered in separate GPU textures and transformations are applied to the separate textures, enabling the graphic object modification system to output transformation results in real-time without re-rendering the actual graphic objects being transformed.

Abstract: A method for determining data consistency in a distributed asynchronous architecture is provided. A server receives transaction requests for processing transactions. The server offers one or more services for processing each transaction. Execution of a service for a transaction corresponds to partial processing of the corresponding transaction. The server generates, for each transaction, one or more disposition messages based on the execution of the one or more services. The server aggregates, for each transaction, the generated one or more disposition messages based on a unique identifier of a corresponding transaction and determines a data consistency rate based on the aggregated one or more disposition messages and a set of rules. The set of rules defines one or more standard sequences for executing the one or more services for processing each transaction.
