Abstract: A system receives one or more messages including information related to one or more issues associated with a software application installed on a user device. In response to receiving the message, a processor in the system identifies a user context associated with the user device, wherein the user context comprises usage information related to the software application. The processor further analyzes the received information and the user context associated with the user device to determine one or more errors associated with the software application. One or more software updates that are available and associated with the one or more errors are determined. The system automatically installs one or more of the determined software updates on the user device. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for managing and installing one or more software updates in substantially the same manner as is described above.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an asset integration service establishes a communication session between a design application and a client device for accessing source graphical assets from a web server executing a content management service. The integration service receives, during the communication session and via a design interface from the design application, a request to add a source graphical asset to a document displayed on the client device. The integration service retrieves, responsive to the request, a placement graphical asset that is a lower-resolution copy of the source graphical asset and updates the design interface to include the placement graphical asset. The integration service associates the placement graphical asset with a network link for accessing the source graphical asset via the content management service.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for validating routing table information in a network. A network assurance appliance may be configured to retrieve implemented MP-BGP configuration data from a plurality of nodes in a network fabric and reference MP-BGP configuration data from a network controller. The network assurance appliance compares the implemented MP-BGP configuration data with the reference MP-BGP configuration data and determines that there is a MP-BGP misconfiguration of the implemented MP-BGP configuration data based on differences in the implemented MP-BGP configuration data and the reference MP-BGP configuration data.

Abstract: A system and method of performing speech arbitration at a client device that includes a neural network speech arbitration application, wherein the neural network speech arbitration application is configured to implement a neural network speech arbitration process, and wherein the method includes: receiving speech signals at a client device; generating and/or obtaining a set of inputs to be used in a speech arbitration neural network process, wherein the speech arbitration neural network process uses a neural network model that is tailored to speech arbitration and that can be used to determine whether and/or to what extent speech recognition processing of the received speech signals should be carried out at the client device; and receiving a speech arbitration output that indicates whether and/or to what extent the speech recognition processing of the received speech signals is to be carried out at the client device or at the remote server.

Abstract: Method of authentication including sending a login web page to a first device of a user including a scannable code having an envelope ID and a login challenge.

Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for facilitating enrollment of a client device into more than one management framework. A client device can be enrolled with a management service as a fully managed device, the client device can also be enrolled with the management service as a personal or bring-your-own-device (BYOD), which causes a workspace to be created on the device that is segregated from the rest of the client device. Both enrollments can be managed by a remotely executed management service.

Abstract: Techniques are described for facilitating interactions between computing systems, such as in accordance with usage models that are configured for available services by the providers of the services.

Abstract: A method of administering a drug into the brain of a mammal (human or nonhuman) is described. In this method, a magneto-electric nanoparticle (MENP) and a drug are injected into the blood stream of a mammal. The MENP attaches to the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and a non-alternating electric or magnetic field is applied. In an alternative, the non-alternating field could be replaced by a slowly alternating field so as to avoid localized heating. The step of applying an electric or magnetic field causes an increase in the permeability of the BBB to the drug so that the drug passes into the brain while the MENP remains attached to the BBB.
