Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing sandboxed application extensions. A first request that include includes information that identifies an extension may be provided to an extension server. Information included in a first response may be employed to instantiate an extension shell that corresponds to the extension and embed it in the hosting application such that the extension shell is associated with a first security policy included in the first response. A second request may be provided to the extension server based on information included in the extension shell such that the second request includes an identifier associated with an extension body that corresponds to the extension shell. The first security policy or the second security policy may be employed to enable one or more of the extension shell or the extension body to just access the hosting application or just access the extension server.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate an apparatus comprising fetch circuitry and instruction storage circuitry. The fetch circuitry is to fetch instructions for execution by execution circuitry. The instruction storage circuitry is to store temporary copies of fetched instructions. The fetch circuitry is configured to preferentially fetch instructions from the instruction storage circuitry. The instruction storage circuitry is configured to, responsive to a storage condition being met, begin storing copies of consecutive fetched instructions, the storage condition indicating a utility of a current fetched instruction; and to, responsive to determining that a number of said stored consecutive instructions has reached a storage threshold, cease storing copies of subsequent fetched instructions.

Abstract: A network appliance can have an input port that can receive network packets at line rate, two or more ingress queues, a line rate classification circuit that can place the network packets on the ingress queues at the line rate, a packet buffer that can store the network packets, and a sub line rate packet processing circuit that can process the network packets that are stored in the packet buffer. The line rate classification circuit can place a network packet on one of the ingress queues based on the network packet's packet contents. A buffer scheduler can select network packets for processing by a sub line rate packet processing circuit based on the priority levels of the ingress to queues.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus is provided that comprises rename circuitry for performing a register rename stage of a pipeline in respect of a stream of operations. Move elimination circuitry performs a move elimination operation on the stream of operations in which a move operation is eliminated and the register rename stage performs an adjustment of an identity of registers in the stream of operations to compensate for the move operation being eliminated and demotion circuitry reverses or inhibits the adjustment in response to one or more conditions being met.

The photovoltaic lined optical cavity is optimized for the light capture of solar radiation and sufficient integrity against mechanical loads.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to systems and techniques to provide smart access control devices with legacy access control systems.

Abstract: A push notification mechanism at a mobile user device provides for automated limiting of the rate of production of push notification alerts (such as an audible alert or a vibratory alert) and/or push notifications responsive to the occurrence of chat events relevant to a chat application hosted by the user device. Some chat events automatically trigger suppression periods during which push notification alerts are prevented for subsequent chat events that satisfy predefined suppression criteria. Such push notification and/or alert limiting can be performed separately for separate users, chat groups, and/or chat event types.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises memory management circuitry to perform a translation table walk for a target address of a memory access request and to signal a fault in response to the translation table walk identifying a fault condition for the target address, prefetch circuitry to generate a prefetch request to request prefetching of information associated with a prefetch target address to a cache; and faulting address prediction circuitry to predict whether the memory management circuitry would identify the fault condition for the prefetch target address if the translation table walk was performed by the memory management circuitry for the prefetch target address. In response to a prediction that the fault condition would be identified for the prefetch target address, the prefetch circuitry suppresses the prefetch request and the memory management circuitry prevents the translation table walk being performed for the prefetch target address of the prefetch request.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for displaying a first portion of a video, the first portion comprising a subset of the video that fits in a display area of a computing device. The systems and methods further detect movement of the computing device during playback of the first portion of the video, calculate a rotation of the display of the first portion of the video based on a direction of the movement, and cause the display of the first portion of the video to rotate relative to the direction of movement to display a second portion of the video, the second portion comprising a subset of the video that is associated with the direction of movement and that was at least partially not visible in the first portion of the video when displayed in the display area of the computing device.

Abstract: A software agent, that is used to assist in providing a service, receives communications from a set of users that are attempting to use the software agent. The communications include communications that are interacting with the software agent, and communications that are not interacting with the software agent. The software agent performs natural language processing on all communications to identify such things as user sentiment, user concerns or other items in the content of the messages, and also to identify actions taken by the users in order to obtain a measure of user satisfaction with the software agent. One or more action signals are then generated based upon the identified user satisfaction with the software agent.

Abstract: A claw type or octopus type hair clip includes a first side, a second side, a hinge pin that pivotally couples the first side to the second side, and a lock that prevents the first side and the second side from undesirably pivoting to an open arrangement. The hair clip may include features, such as tabs that may be pressed together, that release the lock to enable the hair clip to be opened and placed over an object, such as an individual's hair. When lock-releasing features are released, the lock engages, enabling the first side and second side of the hair clip to be pivotally closed while preventing the first side and second side from pivotally opening.
