  • CONTENT DISCOVERY REFRESH
    Publication number: 20230100461
    Abstract: A client application associated with a content sharing network can include functionality for discovering content (e.g., text, image, audio, video, and other multimedia data) of the network. The content discovery functionality can be graphically represented as a feed with the top-ranking content (e.g., most relevant content, most recently created content, content created in a geographic location most proximate to a user, etc.) displayed at the top of the feed and lower-ranking content displayed at the bottom of the feed. The feed can re-order itself based on user interactions, content characteristics, system trends, and the like. A user can navigate to various portions of the feed, and the feed can continuously refresh itself to give the user an impression of an infinite feed of fresh, relevant content.

  • RELATIVE MODE TRANSMISSION LOSS MEASUREMENT OF A CONNECTORIZED FIBER OPTIC CABLE
    Publication number: 20230095762
    Abstract: A method and system for measuring signal loss in a fiber optic cable. The tail ends of reference and test fiber optic cables are illuminated with a diffuse light. The head end of each of the reference and test fiber optic cables are positioned in a measurement area. A core imager captures an image of the core of each head-end while it is in the measurement area. Reference and test radiant fluxes emitted from the reference and test head-ends are determined from the respective core images. The relative signal loss of the test fiber optic cable is then determined by comparing the test radiant flux to the reference radiant flux.

  • DELEGATED SIGNING USING SENSITIVITY CLASSIFICATION
    Publication number: 20230095155
    Abstract: A centralized document system generates a document package in response to a request by an originating entity. The document package includes at least one document for execution by a first receiving entity. The first receiving entity can specify a set of permissions for a second receiving entity to perform actions to documents within the package on behalf of the first receiving entity. Accordingly, the system may provide the document package to both the first and second receiving entities for the first receiving entity to execute the at least one document. Before providing the document to the second receiving entity, system may determine whether there is a sensitive document in the package and whether to delegate the document to the second entity. Accordingly, the system may prevent a sensitive document package from being provided to the second receiving entity for execution.

  • Methods and systems for loosely coupled PCIe service proxy over an IP network
    Patent number: 11593294
    Abstract: PCIe devices installed in host computers communicating with service nodes can provide virtualized and high availability PCIe functions to host computer workloads. The PCIe device can receive a PCIe TLP encapsulated in a PCIe DLLP via a PCIe bus. The TLP includes a TLP address value, a TLP requester identifier, and a TLP type. The PCIe device can terminate the PCIe transaction by sending a DLLP ACK message to the host computer in response to receiving the TLP. The TLP packet can be used to create a workload request capsule that includes a request type indicator, an address offset, and a workload request identifier. A workload request packet that includes the workload request capsule can be sent to a virtualized service endpoint. The service node, implementing the virtualized service endpoint, receives a workload response packet that includes the workload request identifier and a workload response payload.

  • Methods and systems for layer 7 hardware assist and CPU task offloads
    Patent number: 11595502
    Abstract: Certain tasks related to processing layer 7 (L7) data streams, such as HTTP data streams, can be performed by an L7 assist circuit instead of by general-purpose CPUs. The L7 assist circuit can normalize URLs, Huffman decode, Huffman encode, and generate hashes of normalized URLs. A L7 data stream, which is reassembled from received network packets, includes an L7 header. L7 assist produces an augmented L7 header that is added to the L7 data stream. The CPUs can use the augmented L7 header, thereby speeding up processing. On the outbound path, L7 assist can remove the augmented L7 header and perform Huffman encoding such that the CPUs can perform other tasks.

  • Push notification management
    Patent number: 11588913
    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.

  • System and method of managing electronic media content items
    Patent number: 11558326
    Abstract: A method of managing electronic media content items starts with a server system receiving a first electronic communication from a first client device in communication with the server system over a network. The server system then generates a first media content item based on the first electronic communication and causes the first media content item to be displayed on a display screen of a second client device. The server system receives a request from the second client device to store the first media content item and stores the first media content item in a storage that is associated with the first user and the second user. The server system then generates a notification to be displayed on a display screen of the first client device that indicates the first media content item is stored in the storage. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.

  • Bulk envelope management in a document management system
    Patent number: 11537782
    Abstract: A document management system sends a distinct copy of a set of documents to each of a plurality of recipients in a bulk sending process, producing a batch of document sets. The document management system can facilitate the performance of a bulk action on the batch of document sets by a sending entity. Examples include a bulk corrective action, a bulk void action, a bulk re-send action, and a bulk download action. In addition, the document management system can identify document sets sent separately that are likely parts of a batch of document sets using one or more similarity criteria. The document management system can recommend that a sending entity combine the identified document sets into a batch of document sets, enabling the sending entity to perform bulk actions on the document sets.

  • PRECISION NON-CONTACT CORE IMAGING OF FIBER OPTIC ASSEMBLIES
    Publication number: 20220377231
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for determining a core-to-ferrule offset of a ferrule for a fiber optic connector. A reference ferrule is physically aligned with a core imager by positioning the reference ferrule so that edges of the reference ferrule in a plurality of profile images are aligned with fiducial markers in the images. The reference ferrule is incrementally rotated about its longitudinal center access, a core image captured at each rotational angle, and a reference core-to-ferrule offset determined based on the core images. A test ferrule is physically aligned with the core imager by positioning the test ferrule so that edges of the test ferule are aligned with the edges of the reference ferrule in a plurality of profile images. The core-to-ferrule offset of the test ferrule is then determined based on an offset between the test and reference cores in a composite core image.

  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING A VIRTUALIZED NVMe OVER FABRIC SERVICE
    Publication number: 20220377027
    Abstract: PCIe devices installed in host computers communicating with service nodes can provide virtualized NVMe over fabric services. A workload on the host computer can submit an SQE on a NVMe SQ. The PCI device can read the SQE to obtain a command identifier, an OpCode, and a namespace identifier (NSID). The SQE can be used to produce a LTP packet that includes the opcode, the NSID, and a request identifier. The LTP packet can be sent to the service node, which may access a SAN in accordance with the opcode and NSID, and can respond to the LTP with a second LTP that includes the request identifier and a status indicator. The PCI device can use the status indicator and the request identifier to produce a CQE that is placed on a NVMe CQ associated with the SQ.
