Abstract: A provider edge device, capable of accessing a first type of memory and a second type of memory, may determine a network address associated with a customer edge device. The provider edge device may determine whether the customer edge device is categorized as a leaf device in an Ethernet Tree service provided by the provider edge device. The provider edge device may selectively store the network address in the first type of memory or the second type of memory based on determining whether the customer edge device is categorized as a leaf device in the Ethernet Tree service.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for displaying a touchable user interface of a display device and displaying a user interface progress experience on the touchable user interface.

Abstract: Accurate measurements of the presence or absence of an analyte (e.g., MRSA) in a sample are provided. For example, the sample can be subjected to an activation reagent (potentially after an initial reagent has already been added), which can cause a flash signal that increases and then decreases over time. Signal data points can be measured from the flash signal using a detector. A quadratic regression function that fits the signal data points can be determined. An accuracy of the quadratic fit can be determined, as well as a signal-to-background ratio. A difference between a signal-to-background term and an accuracy term can be used as a score that is compared to a threshold to determine whether the analyte is present in the sample.

Abstract: Approaches are disclosed for improving performance of logical disks. A logical disk can comprise several storage devices. In an object storage system (OSS), when a logical disk stores a file, fragments of the file are stored distributed across the storage devices. Each of the fragments of the file is asymmetrically stored in (write) and retrieved from (read) the storage devices. The performance of the logical disk is improved by reconfiguring one or more of the storage devices based on an influence that each of the storage devices has on performance of the logical disk and the asymmetric read and write operations of each of the storage devices. For example, latency of the logical disk can be reduced by reconfiguring one or more of the plurality of storage disks based on a proportion of the latency of the logical device that is attributable to each of the plurality of storage devices.

Abstract: Approaches are disclosed for distributing messages across multiple data centers where the data centers do not store messages using a same message queue protocol. In some embodiment, a network element translates messages from a message queue protocol (e.g., Kestrel, RABBITMQ, APACHE Kafka, and ACTIVEMQ) to an application layer messaging protocol (e.g., XMPP, MQTT, WebSocket protocol, or other application layer messaging protocols). In other embodiments, a network element translates messages from an application layer messaging protocol to a message queue protocol. Using the new approaches disclosed herein, data centers communicate using, at least in part, application layer messaging protocols to disconnect the message queue protocols used by the data centers and enable sharing messages between messages queues in the data centers.

Abstract: To enable prompt presentation of a user interface that displays documents that other users have accessed or edited, distribution of document activity indicators is performed in a proactive manner such that the document activity indicators are already available at a time when such a user interface is to be presented. Document activity triggers the creation of corresponding document activity identifiers, which are distributed to the workspaces of one or more users in accordance with document activity itself, the type of activity, the user performing the activity, a user who initially created the document, or combinations thereof. When another user utilizes a content creation computer application program, the activity by other users is selectively reflected within the user interface presented by such a content creation computer application program.
