  • Patent number: 11074159
    Abstract: Techniques for determining the ability of a modified set of processes to process requests received by an initial set of processes include dividing the requests received by the initial processes into subsets. Each subset includes requests having common values for a set of request parameters. Test data is generated that includes at least one request from each subset. The test data is processed by the modified processes to determine responses. If the response for a request that is determined by the modified processes corresponds to the response for that request that was determined by the initial processes, this correspondence indicates that the modified processes may generate a proper response for each request included in the same subset as the tested request. As a result, the ability of the modified processes to replace the initial processes may be tested using only a portion of the requests received by the initial processes.

  • Patent number: 9948994
    Abstract: Described is a network system and method of use for distributing audiovisual data. The network comprises two or more audio sinks, each of the audio sinks having a corresponding audio format capability, a first source adapted to generate and transmit audiovisual data, wherein the audiovisual data includes an audio file formatted with a first audio format capability, and the at least one source being further adapted to transmit the audiovisual data to the two or more audio sinks through the network system using both an high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) and internet protocol (IP), and a first transmitter adapted to receive the transmitted audiovisual data from the first source. The first transmitter is further adapted to generate two or more transmission streams of audiovisual data, wherein each of the two or more audiovisual data transmission streams include audio data formatted according to the audio format capability of the audio sink to which it is being transmitted to.

  • Patent number: 9928174
    Abstract: A consistent caching service for managing data consistency between a cache system and backing store is provided. The consistent caching service compares an origin token and a parity token associated with the cached copy of the data item to determine consistency of the data item. The origin and parity tokens may be generated by an operation that caused population of the data item to the cache. The parity token may be invalidated by a write operation of the data item, thus causing a mismatch between the two tokens.
