Abstract: A system and method includes a waveguide for guiding an energy received from a laser. A resonator couples with the waveguide. A signal generator (pump) generates a spatiotemporal pattern wave in the resonator. The spatiotemporal pattern wave produces a wave interaction. Where an interaction between the signal, the spatiotemporal pattern wave and the wave interaction produce linear non-reciprocal behavior in the signal wave.

Abstract: A notification service receives messages including various data from application services, and provides notifications including that data to the appropriate computing devices. Each computing device includes a notification system that receives notifications from the notification service and provides those notifications to the appropriate applications on the computing device. If an application is not allowed to run on a computing device, the notification system on the computing device provides an indication to the notification service to block notifications for the application on the computing device. The notification service ceases providing notifications to a computing device targeting applications for which notifications are blocked on the computing device until an indication is received from the computing device to unblock notifications for the application.

In one implementation, costs are allocated to tenant virtual machines (“VMs”) by determining a network bandwidth of a virtual network, determining a common cost of operating the virtual network, determining a service capacity for each network service provided by the virtual network, and determining a service cost for each network service. A portion of the common cost is allocated to each VM based on the proportion of network bandwidth used by each VM, and a portion of the service cost is allocated to each VM based on the proportion of the service capacity used by each VM.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for manipulating a media player based on the environment in which content is consumed. For example, a user listening to a radio broadcast or some other ambient sound hears a song begin to play. Recognizing the song, the user wishes to watch an associated music video. A smartphone is used to record a portion of the ambient sound using an application configured according to certain disclosed embodiments. The observed audio is compared with one or more archived audio segments, each of which is associated with corresponding video content. If a match is found between the observed audio segment and an archived audio segment, video content corresponding to the matched archived audio segment is played back via a media player installed on the device. The playback is synchronized with the ambient sound. This allows the user to enjoy both the ambient audio and corresponding video content.
