Abstract: A Power-over-Ethernet (POE) powered device (PD) may be coupled to two power sourcing equipments (PSEs), a PSE and an additional PSE. The PSE may exchange a transport layer protocol communications with the additional PSE. The communications comprising a first communication from the PSE to the additional PSE indicative of a PoE configuration of the PSE and a second communication from the additional PSE to the PSE indicative of a PoE configuration of the additional PSE. The PSE may create a power availability table based on the communications. The PSE may detect occurrence of an event comprising at least one of a change in the power availability table or a change in ability of the PSE to provide power to the PD. On occurrence of the event, the PSE may send additional communications to the additional PSE, requesting to adjust its power allotment for the PD.

Abstract: Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) powered devices (PD) may be coupled to a PoE power sourcing equipment (PSE). The PDs may send to the PSE a link-layer protocol communication that comprises an alternative-power field indicating whether the sending PD has an alternative power source (e.g., a battery, a local power supply). The PSE may listen for and receive the communications and read the alternative-power fields thereof. The PSE may set respective power priorities for the PDs based at least in part on whether the PDs have respective alternative power sources, as indicated by the respective alternative-power fields of their communications. The PSE may reduce the power priority of those PDs that have alternative power sources, relative to the priority the PD would otherwise have been given.

Abstract: Decentralized systems and methods provide smart contracting when electronic information is exchanged between authorized and permitted user(s) where creating, uploading, accessing, viewing, editing, redlining, replying, printing, downloading, e-signing and or marking up are each stored as separate immutable blocks within the permission based blockchain allowing the system to securely track the version history and users activity to enforce legally binding and verification processes.

Abstract: Decentralized security methods and systems using a hybrid permission based blockchain with public key infrastructure (PKI) for storage, access, distribution, exchange and execution of electronic information including images, files, media between individuals and or nodes is more secure on connected devices and servers than traditional systems and software applications that are vulnerable to cyberattacks and theft. Email is a popular way of transferring documents and other forms of content. However, there does not exist a decentralized system to protect sensitive information against cyber attacks and theft such that the information can be shared, accessed, executed, and or distributed to other individual(s) and or systems—including save, upload, email, co-author, co-edit, redline, comment, markup, e-sign documents that automatically enforces legally binding and verification processes for and between individual(s) and or business(es).

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes deriving a user intent from user information associated with a user, selecting an advertiser intent that aligns with the user intent, and then advertising to the user based on the advertiser intent that aligns with the user intent.

Abstract: This document describes, among other things, systems and methods for managing a community-editable product catalog. A method receives, by a network-based commerce system, an indication from a client computer to create a listing for a product. The method determines whether a catalog entry associated with the product exists and when the catalog entry does not exist, prompts a user to create a new catalog entry and stores either the catalog entry or the new catalog entry in the network-based commerce system.
