  • Patent number: 10185777
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for merging versions and activities associated with a file into a history feed and displaying the history feed on a user interface of a client computing device. In one aspect, a file is identified and activities associated with the file are also identified. It may be determined whether the file has at least one activity. When it is determined that the file has at least one activity, at least one actionable history element for the at least one activity is generated. Additionally, the generated history elements are merged to generate a history feed. The history feed is displayed on a user interface. The history feed may be displayed with an application that has opened the file.

  • Publication number: 20180321889
    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.

  • Patent number: 9929940
    Abstract: In general, techniques are provided for described herein that extend existing Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) protocol signaling mechanisms so that local, multi-homing PEs couple to an Ethernet segment can definitively convey their primary/backup designated forwarder (DF) status to any remote PE of the EVPN. In one example, this is accomplished by utilizing a new extended community attribute to each Ethernet A-D per EVI route advertised by each of the multi-homing PEs to specifically carry the advertising PE's primary or backup status. As such, any receiving remote PE need not rely on the arrival of individual MAC routes from a new primary PE and withdrawal of MAC routes from a former primary PE to update its forwarding information.

  • Publication number: 20170371558
    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.

  • Patent number: 9838309
    Abstract: In general, techniques for facilitating a distributed network (L3) subnet by which multiple independent control planes of network devices connected to physically separate L2 networks provide L2 reachability to/from a single L3 subnet. In some examples, a shared L2 network physically situated to connect a plurality of physically separate L2 networks “stitches” the L2 networks together within the respective, independent control planes of switches such that the control planes bridge L2 traffic for a single bridge domain for the separate L2 networks to the shared L2 network and visa-versa. Each of the independent control planes may be configured with a virtual IRB instance associated with the bridge domain and with a common network subnet. Each of the virtual IRBs provides a functionally similar routing interface for the single bridge domain for the separate L2 networks and allows the shared network subnet to be distributed among the independent control planes.

  • Publication number: 20170330096
    Abstract: A method for ranking detected anomalies is disclosed. The method includes generating a graph based on a plurality of rules, wherein the graph comprises nodes representing metrics identified in the rules, edges connecting nodes where metrics associated with connected nodes are identified in a given rule, and edge weights of the edges each representing a severity level assigned to the given rule. The method further includes ranking nodes of the graph based on the edge weights. The method further includes ranking detected anomalies based on the ranking of the nodes corresponding to the metrics associated with the detected anomalies.

  • Patent number: 9815907
    Abstract: Antibodies are raised against compounds of Formula (I) where Z is an immunogenic carrier. These compounds are capable of binding specifically to corresponding antibodies. The antibodies are specific for epimers of vitamin D. Antibodies in accordance with the principles described herein may be employed to minimize or eliminate 3-epimer cross-reactivity in assays for non-epimeric forms of vitamin D analytes. Over-estimation of total non-epimeric vitamin D analyte caused by the cross-reactivity of 3-epimer vitamin D with an antibody for vitamin D analyte can be substantially avoided employing, as blocking agents, antibodies prepared against immunogens that are a compound of the Formula (I) wherein Z is an immunogenic carrier.

  • Patent number: 9804176
    Abstract: Methods include determining an amount of an epimeric vitamin D analyte in a sample suspected of containing the epimeric vitamin D analyte. A combination is provided in an assay medium that includes the sample and a vitamin D epimer antibody that is specific for the epimeric vitamin D analyte. The assay medium is incubated under conditions for binding of the vitamin D epimer antibody to the epimeric vitamin D analyte to form an epimeric vitamin D antibody-bound complex. The amount of the epimeric vitamin D antibody-bound complex is determined and related to the amount of epimeric vitamin D analyte in the sample.

  • Patent number: 9787573
    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing fast convergence in the event of a link failure in an all-active multi-homed Ethernet virtual private network. A provide edge (PE) network device may pre-configure an interface next hop and secondary next hops. The secondary next hops may be logical links to other PE network devices in the same Ethernet segment. In the event of a link failure in the interface next hop between the PE network device and a customer edge (CE) network device, the PE network device may be configured to forward data traffic to the CE network device using the secondary next hops. In the event of a link failure between the PE network device and a core network, the PE network device may be configured to send an out-of-service message to the CE network device that instructs the CE network device to stop sending traffic to the PE network device.
