Abstract: A personalized news service provides personalized news programs for its users by generating personalized combinations of audible versions of news stories derived from text-based based versions of the news stories. The audible versions may be generated from the text-based version by a text-to-speech system, or may by recording a person reading aloud the text-based version. To acquire recordings, the personalized news service can make a determination that a particular news story has a threshold extent of popularity. The news service can then transmit a request to a remote recording station for a recording of a verbal reading of the particular news story. The news service can then receive the requested recording from the remote recording station.

Abstract: Traffic between a first device and a second device across a plurality of communication lanes of a communication link is stalled. A first device side of the communication lane is powered-down on at least one of the plurality of communication lanes to deactivate the at least one communication lane. A power-down request is sent from the first device to the second device to power-down a second device-side of the at least one communication lane. Traffic between the first device and the second device is restarted over the active communication lanes.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided for alleviating congestion in a network system. In this method, the receipt of data packets destined for a destination apparatus is detected. Flow control signals are also received with each flow control signal corresponding to a data packet. Various time periods are tracked with each time period being between the detection of the receipt of a data packet and the receipt of tracked corresponding flow control signal. An average of the time periods is calculated and this average is compared to a threshold. One or more data packets are dropped in reference to the comparison.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for using credits to determine cable length are described herein. A number of available credits is determined at a transmitter, the credits being received at the transmitter from a receiver, and each of the credits being used for the transmitter to transmit a packet to the receiver. An average number of credits for a period is determined. The cable length between the transmitter and the receiver is determined based on the average number of credits for the period.

Abstract: Techniques are provided to allow for efficient data packing under certain coding schemes, e.g., when an enhanced 64/66 encoding scheme is employed. The traditional 64/66 encoding scheme uses idle bytes to pad packets to obtain a packet of fixed size, thereby adding idle overhead to transmitted packets. Accordingly, the techniques eliminate padding bytes and provide for receiving packets by way of a first data link at forwarding device. The packets are transmitted using a scheme that pads the packets to achieve a predetermined packet length. The padding is removed from the received packets to obtain unpadded packets. Data segments of the unpadded packets are concatenated for forwarding in a continuous data stream with a packet delimiter separating each of the unpadded packets. The continuous data stream is encoded using enhanced physical coding sub layer for forwarding over a second data link.

Abstract: An example system may include a communication interface; a processor; and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon program instructions that when executed by the processor cause the server to perform of a set of functions. The set of functions may include determining an anticipated travel duration of a user of a client device, using the anticipated travel duration of the user as a basis to generate a playlist of a personalized news program for the user, and transmitting data representing the generated playlist to the client device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for generating an ensemble of forecasting models are provided herein. A method includes identifying a given environmental event from multiple items of input data; estimating an accuracy value for each of multiple forecasting models applied to an environmental event related to the given environmental event based on historical data; computing a cost and one or more resource requirements for each of the multiple forecasting models; and determining an ensemble of one or more of the multiple forecasting models to apply to the given environmental event based on (i) said estimated accuracy value for each of the multiple forecasting models, and (ii) said cost and said one or more resource requirements for each of the multiple forecasting models.

Abstract: Example embodiments may include a method for configuring an interface that includes determining information for a configuration of an interface of a first device including a plurality of SERDES slices having a plurality of connections to a second device over the interface; and configuring a back channel layer associated with the first device to form a back channel path to carry a message between a transmitter and a receiver of the first device based on the configuration of the plurality of connections to the second device. The transmitter can be in a first SERDES slice of the plurality of SERDES slices and the receiver is in a second SERDES slice of the plurality of SERDES slices.

Abstract: A method of controlling stability of a vehicle comprises monitoring vehicle information with an electronic control unit. An approaching unstable driving condition is detected from the vehicle information with an electronic control unit. A signal is sent from the electronic control unit to at least one vehicle system to apply at least one proactive vehicle stability control action prior to the occurrence of the unstable driving condition.

Abstract: A number of ports are configured in a linecard in a network device as dedicated ports and a remaining number of ports as shared ports. A total bandwidth allocated to the dedicated ports is computed. It is determined that available bandwidth at a central crossbar is greater than the total bandwidth allocated to the dedicated ports. The total data sent the central crossbar is rate limited to less than the available bandwidth at the central crossbar. First data associated with the dedicated ports is scheduled to the central crossbar using a first priority. Second data associated with the shared ports is scheduled using a second priority. A shared port data is scheduled based on a ration of a bandwidth requirement for the shared port as a fraction of overall bandwidth requirement for the shared ports.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided for controlling congestion in a network system. In this method, receipt of a data packet that is destined for a destination switching apparatus is detected. Subsequent to the detection of the data packet, a time that has elapsed while flow control is implemented by the destination switching apparatus is tracked. The data packet is dropped based on the elapsed time exceeding a predefined time period.
