Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method for maintaining a plurality of issues, each issue having an associated rank value, the rank values of the plurality of issues defining an order of the plurality of issues. The method comprises receiving a rank operation request to change the rank of a subject issue; determining relevant issues to the rank operation request; and attempting to acquire locks on each of the relevant issues. In response to successfully acquiring locks on each of the relevant issues a new rank value for the subject issue is calculated and saved.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method comprises calculating a first new rank value in a rank address space for a first issue of a plurality of issues. The rank address space comprises unique, ordered values, and each of the plurality of issues has a rank value in the rank address space. The method further comprises determining whether a length of the first new rank value is greater than or equal to a first rebalancing trigger length. In addition, the method comprises, in response to determining that the length of the first new rank value is greater than or equal to the first rebalancing trigger length, identifying a first delay period that is to elapse before rebalancing the rank address space comprising updating at least one rank value of at least one of the plurality of issues to reduce a possibility of congestion in the rank address space. The method additionally comprises following the first delay period, rebalancing the rank address space.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns tracking a total count of unread messages where an email service manages email messages and a subset of the email messages are also stored locally on a client device. The client device may maintain a local unread count of unread messages stored on the client device, and the email service may maintain a remote unread count of unread messages stored on the email service but not on the client device. The email service may provide the remote unread count to the client device, and the client device may determine the total unread count by adding the local unread count to the remote unread count. The client device may also provide an identifier to the email service, and the email service may use the identifier to determine which of the email messages stored on the email service are not stored on the client device.

Abstract: One method involves pulling, or receiving, a list of recalled device data. Subsequently, the recalled device data is compared to information in a user's TrackMy health record. Based on this comparison, a determination is made as to whether one or more matches exist between any of the recalled devices in the list and the TrackMy health record information, the match relating to the potential for a negative health outcome if the user is not notified of this. If a match exists, a response is outputted relating to each match and a notification is sent to the user's contact information stored TrackMy health record.
