Abstract: A system facilitates communication between branches of an SD-WAN and a service chain element. A hub node receives a data packet of a flow from a source branch over a VPN segment to be transmitted to a destination branch, extracts flow information from the data packet including VPN segment information to be stored in a flow table before transmitting the data packet to the service chain element over a service chain VPN. Upon return of the data packet from the service chain element, the hub node uses packet tuple information to retrieve the flow information with VPN segment information from the flow table. The hub node can then forward the data packet to the destination branch over the VPN segment. The hub node can generate and store an Auto Service Chaining Key that connects bidirectional flows so that the hub node can apply service-chaining to bidirectional traffic.

Abstract: Described herein are nanoribbon-based transistors with a highly uniform oxide layer around semiconductor nanoribbon channels, and a high-pressure steam process for growth the oxide layer. The high-pressure steam process is a self-limiting process that results in a more uniform oxide than standard deposition or implantation methods. The uniformity enables greater control over oxide thickness, with improved breakdown voltages and drive currents.

Abstract: Techniques for determining whether to send an MFA push notification are described. An indication of a request for a user account to access the application service via an endpoint device is received at an MFA service from an application service. A first geolocation of the endpoint device and a second geolocation of an MFA-registered device associated with the user account are received at the MFA service. Using the first and second geolocation, determine whether the endpoint device and the MFA-registered device are within a threshold proximity. When the endpoint device and the MFA-registered device are within the threshold proximity, allows a push notification to be transmitted to the MFA-registered device requesting authentication to grant access to the user account by the endpoint device, and when the endpoint device and the MFA-registered device are not within the threshold, refrain from transmitting the push notification.

Abstract: Partial differential equations used to simulate physical systems can be solved, in one embodiment, by a solver that has been trained with a set of generative neural networks that operated at different resolutions in a solution space of a domain that defines the physical space of the physical system. The solver can operate in a latent vector space which encodes solutions to the PDE in latent vectors in the latent vector space. The variables of the PDE can be partially decoupled in the latent vector space while the solver operates. The domain can be divided into subdomains that are classified based on their positions in the domain.
