  • Patent number: 11960426
    Abstract: Concurrent servicing of a first cable of a cable pair while a second cable of the cable pair remains operational improves multi-processor computer system availability and serviceability. A pair of processing chips in different processing drawers may continue operation by way of the second cable while the first cable is degraded or serviced. Upon the servicing of the first cable, the serviced cable may transition to a fully operational state with no interruptions to the operations between the processing drawers by way of the second cable. Since cable faults are typically more common than processing chip or processing drawer faults, identification of cable faults and the ability to maintain operations of the processing drawers connected therewith is increasingly important.

    Abstract: Widgets on a web page may interact with each other in order to provide a rich, responsive content experience. In one example, the widgets that are provided may include a video player, a video gallery, a metadata pane, or any other components. The gallery may allow a user to select a video to be played, and the gallery may communicate the user's choice to the video player. The video player may then play the video that the user has selected. A container may be provided that allows widgets in the container to interoperate with each other. For example, the container may provide an interface that facilitates communication between a widget and the container, and between plural widgets. A tool may be provided that allows a designer to configure the widgets.
