Abstract: A method for data processing is described. The method includes acquiring telemetry data for multiple client systems supported by a cloud service that controls electronic communications between the client systems and users associated with the client systems. The method further includes filtering the client systems to identify one or more client systems having attributes that satisfy a similarity threshold with respect to attributes associated with a first client system. The method further includes determining a configuration for the first client system based on the telemetry data associated with the identified client systems. The method further includes executing a communication process flow between the first client system and two or more users associated with the first client system in accordance with the configuration. The method further includes obtaining telemetry data for the first client system based on the communication process flow.

Abstract: Methods, computer readable media, and devices for quantifying an infrastructure service health as a score and optimizing performance of the infrastructure service based on benchmarks of dynamically identified control groups are disclosed. One method may include determining, for an infrastructure service of an organization, a metric health score for one or more metrics and an overall health score for the organization, creating, for at least one of the metrics, a number of control groups based on a timeframe criteria and including a set of organizations having a metric health score for the timeframe criteria similar to the organization, and maximizing performance of the infrastructure service using machine learning to compare, for at least one metric, performance impacts to the organization based on service changes with the number of control groups for the at least one metric.

Abstract: A battery charger circuit includes a linear charging control circuit. The linear charging control circuit is coupled between an input terminal and a battery terminal. The linear charging control circuit is configured to apply a charging voltage from the input terminal to the battery terminal, and in a fast charging phase, cause the charging voltage to track a battery voltage while drawing a constant charging current.

Abstract: A method of data processing includes identifying a segment of entity identifiers that are associated with a target tenant and correspond to a set of clients that are to receive at least one content object via a first channel of a plurality of supported channels. The method includes modifying a feature associated with communication of content for a test subset of the segment relative to a control subset of the segment, determining a first metric corresponding to the control subset and the test subset in association with the communication of the content via the first channel and a second metric associated with the target tenant over a second channel of the plurality of channels. The method includes comparing the second metric to a metric associated with a peer group of tenants, and adjusting subsequent communications for the target based at least in part on the comparing and the first metric.

Abstract: A battery charger circuit associated with a portable electronic device is disclosed. The battery charger circuit comprises a charging circuit configured to charge a battery and a discharging circuit configured to discharge the battery. The battery charger circuit further comprises a battery fault detection circuit configured to detect a battery fault condition, based on monitoring one or more battery parameters. In some aspects, the battery charger circuit further comprises a battery charge control circuit configured to selectively activate the discharging circuit, in order to discharge the battery, and deactivate the charging circuit, in order to suspend charging the battery during the discharge of the battery, when the battery fault condition is detected.

Abstract: An article is described that comprises a reticulated foam structure comprising a first ceramic or metal composition, and a second ceramic or metal composition disposed within the reticulated foam structure. The article may be compressed and sintered to form a monolith that can be used for mange heat by consuming heat energy through a phase change of one of the compositions.

Abstract: Articles are described that include a substrate having thereon a coating that has two or more non-oxide compounds. A first one of the two or more non-oxide compounds is a non-oxide ceramic compound, and the two or more non-oxide compounds are present in relative amounts with respect to each other to form a eutectic composition mixture. The coating includes at least two discrete phases arranged in an interpenetrating three-dimensional microstructure.
