  • Publication number: 20180176187
    Abstract: A computing resource service provider may operate a secure proxy fleet responsible for directing network traffic to one or more backend services. The network traffic may be received over a cryptographically protected communications session at a secure proxy device. The secure proxy device may detect sensitive data included in the network traffic and encrypt the sensitive data to protect the sensitive data during transmission to the backend service.

  • Publication number: 20180176193
    Abstract: A computing resource service provider may operate a secure proxy fleet within a content delivery network. The secure proxy fleet may protect sensitive data communicated between a client device and a backend service over one or more networks, for example, over the content delivery network to a computing resource service provider environment. The secure proxy fleet may protect sensitive data by encrypting the sensitive data before it is forwarded to a destination.

  • Publication number: 20170316437
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for predicting and classifying events that create a sudden or substantial increase in network traffic activity. To begin, an increase of network activity can be detected. Upon detecting the increase in network activity, it can be determined that the increase in network activity is unexpected in view of one or more predicted activity events. The system can be adjusted to reduce the network activity in response to determining that the increase in network activity is unexpected.

  • Patent number: 9805717
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide a more universal, easy, natural, and vendor-agnostic interface to configure, manage, and/or monitor devices in networks. In embodiments, a user-friendly natural language interface voice interface may be used to “live chat” with one or more devices. In embodiments, a natural language input from a user intended for a target device is received and converted into one or more properly formed commands that are target-specific for the target device and may be executed by the target device. In embodiments, results from the execution of the one or more commands may be appropriately formatted for presentation to the user.

  • Patent number: 9727882
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for predicting and classifying events that create a sudden and substantial increase in network traffic activity. To begin, a sales event may be predicted based on the results following the search for one or more prediction factors that occur during a predefined period of time. Based either on the individual results of each evaluation or a combination of results of the search of two or more of the prediction factors, a sales event may be predicted. Additionally, upon detection of a sudden and substantial increase in network traffic activity, one or more classification factors may be evaluated to determine whether the cause of the increase is due to a sales event or other type of alternative activity event.

  • Publication number: 20170109697
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure related to systems and methods that help automate the detection of errors in technical documentation. Every functional product, be it a service, device, or combination thereof, has one or more supporting documents associated with that product. These supporting documents may include such documentation as: (1) Release Notes; (2) Configuration Guides; (3) command line interfaces (CLIs)/application program interfaces (APIs); (4) Data Sheets; (5) Installation Guides; (6) User Manuals; (7) Errata notices; and (8) other documentation. It is important that the information provided in such documents, particularly the commands, be correct. In embodiments, a document verification system may be used to automatically extracted commands from technical documentation.

  • Publication number: 20170109698
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods that help automate the generation of a test vector. Every functional product, be it a service, device, or combination thereof, has one or more documents associated with it. These documents may include such documentation as: (1) Release Notes; (2) Configuration Guides; (3) command line interfaces (CLIs)/application program interfaces (APIs); (4) Data Sheets; (5) Installation Guides; (6) User Manuals; (7) Errata notices; and (8) other documentation. In embodiments, command data-models and ranges and sequence of valid inputs to the data-model are extracted from natural language expressions in documentation related to a specific product. In embodiments, this extracted information is used to generate one or more table of attributes and properties or constraints about which a test vector may be generator for testing a command.

  • Publication number: 20060232443
    Abstract: A reflector for use as an aircraft runway marker (10) has an arcuate surface (12) with reflective foil (14) applied thereto. The arcuate surface is mounted on a pole (16) with spacers (18) between the pole and the rear of the arcuate surface. The spacers decrease in width progressively up the pole forming the arcuate surface into a complex curve capable of reflecting light from an approaching aircraft to illuminate or demarcate a runway.
