Abstract: A system and method provide access by a web application running on a host computing device in communication with a remote server to a native binary DLL. A browser extension to the web application and a native messaging application communicate with the browser extension via standard input/output. A long-running computational process on the host computing device configured as a wrapper for the binary DLL is executable by the host computing device. The native messaging application and the long-running computational process communicate with one another via a named pipe, and the long-running computational process duration is independent of the native messaging application duration.

Abstract: Embodiments identify a station that rotates an over the air station address. As address rotation was not originally designed into wireless networks, the rotation can introduce communication challenges for the station. The embodiments derive that traffic referencing two different over the air station addresses are associated with a single common station. This is accomplished by determining a similarity between properties of two sets of traffic. A first set of traffic references the first over the air station address and a second set of traffic references the second over the air station address. If the properties common across the two sets of traffic indicate sufficient similarity, the embodiments determine that both sets of traffic are associated with a single device. Network configuration of the device is then adjusted based on the determination.

Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for providing name resolution services to components executing in a virtualized environment. A name resolution request generated by a component executing within a virtualized environment is intercepted and forwarded from the virtualized environment to a host operating system (“OS”). A user process is then executed that requests that the host OS resolve a name specified by the intercepted name resolution request. Once the user process has received a response to the name resolution request made to the host OS, a response to the original name resolution request made by the component executing within the virtualized environment can be generated based on the response received by the user process. The response to the original name resolution request can then be provided to the component executing in the virtualized environment that requested name resolution.

Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for providing compatible network resources to program components executing in a virtualized environment. Virtual network adapters are created in a virtualized environment that correspond to network interfaces present on a host processing system. A virtual network interface is created in the virtualized environment and exposed to program components executing in the virtualized environment. Network packets are routed between the program components executing in the virtualized environment, the virtual network interface, the active virtual network adapter, and the network interface on the host processing system corresponding to the active virtual network adapter. Network control messages generated by program components executing in a virtualized environment are intercepted and forwarded to a host processing system for processing.

Abstract: A network firewall is disclosed that operates between a virtualized environment and the processing system that provides the virtualized environment. The network firewall filters network traffic generated by and destined for program components executing in the virtualized environment. The network firewall can be located in a hypervisor, a flow steering engine, or at another location between the virtualized environment and the processing system. The network firewall utilizes a firewall policy that can be shared with a network firewall on the processing system that filters network traffic originating at or destined for the processing system. The network firewall can filter network traffic based upon a unique identifier assigned to a virtualized environment, upon port numbers assigned to program components in a virtualized environment, or upon profiles assigned to network interfaces. The network firewall can also filter loopback traffic between a guest operating system (OS) and a host OS.

Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for enabling virtual private network (VPN) support in a virtualized environment. The presence or creation of a host VPN adapter on a host processing system providing a virtualized environment is detected and, in response thereto, a virtual network adapter is created in the virtualized environment. A guest operating system (OS) creates a guest VPN adapter in the virtualized environment. A software component is inserted between the guest VPN adapter and the virtual network adapter. The software component adds Ethernet frames to point-to-point protocol (PPP) packets received from the guest VPN adapter and removes Ethernet frames from packets received from the virtual network adapter.

Further aspects of the present disclosure relate to an X-ray system comprising the X-ray detecting system, and to an X-ray detection method. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the X-ray detecting system comprises a processing unit for processing the pixel signals, wherein the processing unit comprises a frame summing unit configured to, for a pixel of the pixel array, compare the pixel values of the acquired frames that correspond to that pixel for detecting a pixel value in those frames that was adversely affected by a direct hit of that pixel by an X-ray photon during said single exposure, and generate a pixel value for that pixel in dependence of the pixel values of the acquired frames and detected pixel value for that pixel.

Abstract: Techniques are described for performing an automated region build. An orchestration service (e.g., a Multi-Flock Orchestrator) may managing bootstrapping efforts for any suitable number of services within a region corresponding to one or more data centers. Each service can be associated with a respective set of resources (e.g., infrastructure components, software artifacts, etc.). The orchestration service can identify dependencies between services based on corresponding configuration files associated with the services. The orchestration service can determine, based on the identified dependencies, an order by which operations for bootstrapping the services are to be performed. The orchestration service can incrementally instruct other system components (e.g., a provisioning and deployment manager) to perform operations for bootstrapping the plurality of services in accordance with determined order.

Abstract: Techniques for group-based classification and policy enforcement at a network fabric edge for traffic that is being sent to external network destinations are disclosed herein. The techniques may include receiving, at a control plane of a network and from an edge node of the network, a request to provide mapping data associated with sending a packet to a destination. Based at least in part on an address prefix value associated with the destination, the control plane may determine that the destination is located in an external network. Additionally, a group identifier that is associated with the destination may be determined. In this way, an indication of the group identifier may be sent to the edge node such that the edge node may determine, based at least in part on the group identifier, a policy decision for routing the packet to the external network.

Abstract: In an approach for dynamically generating correctly formatted Extensible Markup Language (XML) based off of a subset of data from a database, a processor receives an input pointing to a subset of data. A processor collects the subset of data from existing sources. A processor modifies the subset of data using wildcarding to generate a modified subset of data. A processor generates a set of XML files from the modified subset of data. A processor creates an immutable record of the subset of data, the modified subset of data, and the set of XML files. A processor outputs the set of XML files.

Abstract: Techniques are described for automating the creating, provisioning, and deployment of resources and infrastructure for building a data center that is configured to provide a set of services. Techniques are described for scheduling and executing multiple releases for a service. For a service for which a first release has been previously scheduled and executed, a second release may be scheduled for the service in response to an optional capability dependency for the service being published in a data center. The second release for the flock is then executed. As a result of the execution of the second release, additional enhanced capabilities may be added to the service.
