Abstract: The present disclosure relates to providing personalized service schedule in a computing network for a service provider to provide a service. In particular, the systems described herein utilize signal history of a plurality of users to train a model and to predict a cumulative signal amount for an individual user for a predetermined time frame in the future by drawing inferences from the model. The system described herein further transforms the predicted cumulative signal amounts to activity data and a personalized service schedule for the individual user may be updated based on the predicted activity data. The personalized service schedule may be utilized by disabling the service, or pausing the service or pausing a feature of the service when the predicted activity data indicates that the user is likely to be inactive.

Abstract: The technology is directed to the use of a bitmap generated at a receiver to track the status of received packets sent by a transmitter. The technology may include a network device including an input port, output port, and circuitry. The circuitry may generate a transmitter bitmap that tracks each data packet sent to another network device. The circuitry of the network device may receive, from the other network device, a receiver bitmap that identifies each data packet that is received and not received from the network device. The circuitry may then determine which data packets to retransmit by comparing the transmitter bitmap to the receiver bitmap.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a low-latency, low-overhead fault tolerant remote memory framework, which packs similar-size in-memory objects into individual page-aligned spans and applies erasure coding on these spans. The framework fully utilizes efficient one-sided remote memory accesses (RMAs) to swap spans in and out using minimal network input/outputs (I/Os), with compaction techniques that reduce remote memory fragmentation. The framework can achieve lower tail latency and higher application performance compared to other fault tolerance solutions, at the cost of potentially more memory usage.

Abstract: This invention is an excess water slot of dimensions conforming to the recognized dimensions to be installed in place of the previous one but with a different inner design and it also works by a totally different mechanism. It was designed to separate pure water from others by a partition in the upper part of the excess water slot extending inside the washbasin and the lower part of the excess water slot ending with 2 pipe outlets one for pure water and the other for turbid water. The upper side means the upper part with drain holes in the middle of the washbasin. This separation is a small wall of 1-2 centimeter height as shown in 3 at (FIG. 2) with small flexible arms of extending ends as shown in 1 A (FIG. 5.) to separate water when it falls from the faucet down to the washbasin, and to allow using rubber taps for each half of the excess water slot. One of the two outlets is directed to the public drain system and the other for recycling, for clarification of the invention.

Abstract: The current invention provides an excess water slot to be installed in the ordinary slot opening of hand wash basins and in kitchen basins. The slot is provided with a flexible pipe exiting from the middle of the wash basin: The pipe has a suitable height (approximately ?/+15 cm high) according to the basin size. The pipe is bendable and foldable to receive unused water flowing from the faucet and leaking's in order to separate water to be ready for recycling before it reaches the middle of the basin and mixes with turbid water: the proposed figure is the (FIG. 1) attached with the drawings below.
