Abstract: A network testing device is provided in order to validate network topology information and test various other attributes of a network. The network testing device may, in response to a command, obtain connection information from a network indicated in the command. The connection information may be compared to network topology information corresponding to the network. The network topology information may indicate which interfaces of a network device should be to be connected to which interfaces of other network devices. The network testing device may then return, in response to the command, a result of the comparison. Furthermore, the network testing device may return result of other network test performed by the network testing device on the network device.

Particularly, the disclosed system enables different and various design elements to be secured and optionally removed from hoop earrings. The disclosed earring assembly comprises an earring comprising a hoop member and a cover. The cover comprises a front face and a rear face attached to the front face, thereby defining a cavity for receiving the hoop member.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable media are described for connecting private networks that may otherwise be isolated. More particularly, the private networks may include private clouds that may be operated on a plurality of datacenters. A determination may be made as to whether network connections between the private clouds may be established and as to what compute resources of the private clouds may be exposed to the network connections. This determination may be used to generate virtual network paths that may be configured to route traffic between the private clouds.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture provide for dynamic sharding, such as in an online gaming environment. The invention includes providing a shared data store including at least a table store adapted to store data representative of table state; creating a plurality of shards wherein each shard includes at least a floor manager system and a game system; presenting a plurality of tables to players via a lobby interface; and scaling a number of the plurality of shards to support a current number of players. Numerous additional aspects are disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a multi-directional light fixture having a single orientation light source. The multi-directional light fixture includes a light source orientated towards a semi-reflective lens. The semi-reflective lens allows a portion of the light it receives from the light source to be reflected upwards, providing uplight from the light fixture. The lens also allows a portion of the light it receives from the light source to be transmitted therethrough, providing downlight from the light fixture. Thus, the light fixture provides both uplight and downlight while the light source is oriented downwards.

Abstract: An antenna mount for adjusting the azimuth, elevation, and/or skew alignments of an antenna. The mount has a basic gearbox drive including a worm gear and worm wheel with interchangeable arcuate members that can be inserted in the basic drive design to customize it for azimuth, elevation, and/or skew adjustments. The arcuate member for azimuth adjustments permits the gearbox drive to rotate the attached antenna more than 360 degrees and provides two hard stop positions about 400 degrees from each other for reference points for the search routine and to prevent undue twisting of any attached, exterior wiring. Replacing the azimuth arcuate member with a modified or second arcuate member reduces the rotational movement (e.g., to 20 degrees) making the gearbox drive more suitable for elevation adjustments. Similarly, a third gearbox drive can be provided with a third arcuate member with more of a middle range of movement (e.g., 90-180 degrees) suitable for skew adjustments of the antenna.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to ejector mechanisms and devices for generating a directed stream of droplets, as well as improved methods for delivering an ejected stream of droplets to a target. The device and methods may be useful for the delivery of fluid for ophthalmic, topical, oral, nasal, or pulmonary use, more particularly, for use in the delivery of ophthalmic fluid to the eye. Certain aspects of the disclosure relate to devices and methods for the delivery of a therapeutically effective low dosage volume medicament composition to a target, e.g., by controlling charge, droplet size and/or droplet deposit parameters of the medicament composition.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to medical databases, remote monitoring, diagnosis and treatment systems and methods. In one particular embodiment, a system for remote monitoring, diagnosis, or treatment of eye conditions, disorders and diseases is provided. This method generally includes administering a stream of droplets to the eye of a subject from an ejector device, and storing data related to the administration in a memory of the ejector device. The data may then be monitored and analyzed.

Abstract: Techniques for analyzing a social graph of a social networking service to derive a social proximity score representing a measure of how socially connected a member is to a target entity are described. With some embodiments, an aggregate social proximity score is derived to reflect a measure of how well socially connected a person is to a set of organizations representing customer accounts of a business organization. Accordingly, the aggregate social proximity score can be used to compare candidates in a hiring decision, or to identify potential candidates during recruiting.

Abstract: Techniques for allocating sales representatives to potential new and/or existing customer accounts are described. With sonic embodiments, for each member of the social networking service in a pre-defined group of members (e.g., team of sales representatives), a social proximity score is derived to reflect a measure of how socially connected the member is to a target entity (e.g., company, school, government institution, or some other organization). The new or existing accounts are then allocated to various members in the pre-defined group, based at least in part on the social proximity scores.
