Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for efficiently executing transactions across different processing domains in a distributed computing system. An example method generally includes receiving a request to transfer a quantity of tokens from a source processing domain to a target processing domain. Based on detecting initiation of a burn operation for the quantity of tokens on the source processing domain, the quantity of tokens are minted on the target processing domain. The minting is generally performed using resources in a cross-domain reserve resource pool. A request associated with the minting generally includes a signature generated by an issuer of the tokens and associated with the burn operation on the source processing domain. Execution of the request is finalized based on minting the quantity of tokens on the target processing domain.

Abstract: Implementations for account creation within chain networks include creating, by an account factory executed in a chain network, an account for a user within the chain network, the user providing an amount of non-native cryptocurrency to the paymaster to account for a transaction fee for creation of the account in a native cryptocurrency provided from a centralized source of native cryptocurrency, determining, by the paymaster, a maximum transaction fee for creation of the account, the maximum transaction fee being provided in a non-native cryptocurrency, transferring, by the paymaster, the maximum transaction fee from a source of non-native cryptocurrency to the paymaster, after creation of the account, determining, by the paymaster, a total cost of the in the non-native cryptocurrency, and transferring a refund amount from the paymaster to the account based on the total cost, the refund amount being in the non-native cryptocurrency.

Abstract: Methods and systems for coordinating operation of a head-wearable device and an electronic device to assist a user in interacting with the electronic device are disclosed. A method includes, while a user interface is displayed on a display of an electronic device associated with a user, receiving sensor data from one or more sensors of the electronic device or from a head-wearable device worn by the user that is in communication with the electronic device. The method includes determining, based at least in part on the sensor data from the one or more sensors, whether an augmented-display criterion is satisfied for the electronic device, and, in accordance with a determination that the augmented-display criterion is satisfied, causing presentation, via a display of the head-wearable device, of an augmented representation of the user interface.

Abstract: A coupler including a fitting for mounting to externally threaded reinforcing bar for use in concrete construction, the fitting including a body having a portion with an internal thread for engagement with the thread of the reinforcing bar, wherein the internal thread has an asymmetric thread form having an outer ramped portion and an inner ramped portion, the outer ramped portion being inclined to a central axis of the coupler at a first angle, the inner ramped portion being inclined to the central axis of the coupler at a second angle, the first angle being smaller in magnitude than the second angle.

Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) effect system can improve application of AR effects by sharing resources between AR effects. The AR effect system can employ manifests for AR effects that define which resources are required to render each AR effect. The AR effect system can organize rendering operations used by selected AR effects into a pipeline and can use the manifests of the AR effects to determine when each resource will be needed. Based on this pipeline, the AR effect system can create a cache order defining a resource schedule which specifies, when a resource is freed, conditions for whether to save the resource to a local cache or unload the resource. As rendering of the video with the AR effects progresses, the resource schedule can control whether resources not currently being used to render an AR effect should be unloaded or cached for fast access for future render operations.

Abstract: A speech recognition engine is provided voice data indicative of at least a brand of a target appliance. The speech recognition engine uses the voice data indicative of at least a brand of the target appliance to identify within a library of codesets at least one codeset that is cross-referenced to the brand of the target appliance. The at least one codeset so identified is then caused to be provisioned to the controlling device for use in commanding functional operations of the target appliance.

Abstract: A computing resource monitoring service obtains a request from a third-party partner system to generate a first bus. In response to the request, the computing resource monitoring service updates an account associated with a customer of a remote service to indicate presence of the first bus. The computing resource monitoring service activates the first bus to establish an association with a second bus, obtain a set of events generated by a resource of the third-party partner system, and provides the set of events to the first bus. The computing resource monitoring service publishes the set of events to cause the second bus to distribute the set of events to another remote service.
