Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for control of configured transmissions in a cellular communications system. A method performed by a wireless communication device includes receiving, from a base station, a configuration of a set of symbols for one or more configured transmissions and monitoring for a Downlink Control Information (DCI) that uses a particular DCI format. The method further includes, when the wireless communication device does not detect a DCI that uses the particular DCI format and either: (a) a semi-static Time Division Duplexing (TDD) configuration received by the wireless communication device indicates the set of symbols configured for the one or more configured transmissions as flexible or (b) the wireless communication device did not receive a semi-static TDD configuration, making a determination of whether the one or more configured transmissions are allowed to be transmitted or are received based on whether a parameter is configured.

Abstract: Techniques for persisting user data across secure shell instances are provided. A method includes receiving a first request from a session manager service to establish a connection to a secure shell instance and restore a user block volume with corresponding backup user data. The method may include reserving an empty block volume. The method may also include transmitting a backup data identifier associated with the corresponding backup user data to a backup service and receiving the corresponding backup user data from the backup service. The method may further include providing the corresponding backup user data to the empty block volume to create a restore volume and transmitting a restore volume identifier corresponding to a data center identifier to the session manager service. The method may include receiving a second request to attach the restore volume to a reserved instance, the second request being received from the session manager service.

Abstract: Techniques for using signed nonces to secure cloud shells are provided. The techniques include receiving, by a session manager service, a request to connect a user device to a secure connection to a secure shell instance. The session manager service may authorize the user device to access the secure shell instance and may configure the secure shell instance, being described by a shell identifier of the secure shell instance. The techniques also include generating, by the session manager service, a nonce token and providing the shell identifier, and a router address of the secure shell router to the user device. The techniques also include generating, by the session manager service, a signed nonce token using the nonce token; and providing the signed nonce token and the shell identifier to a user device.

Abstract: A loading system (e.g., in a warehouse or other item-fulfillment environment) can include a rotary hub that supports one or more chambers. In a first orientation of the rotary hub, one of the chambers may be in a first position aligned for item receipt (e.g., through an open top of the chamber by feeding from a conveyor belt or other feeding system). The rotary hub can rotate to a second orientation in which the chamber is in a second position aligned for item discharge (e.g., through an open end of the chamber and into a receiving zone of a packaging machine or other system).

Abstract: Techniques for persisting user data across secure shell instances are provided. The techniques include a method wherein a computer system receives a request to reserve a block volume, the request being received from a session manager service. The method also includes reserving the block volume, identifying a data center identifier of the block volume, returning the data center identifier of the block volume to the session manager service, attaching the block volume to a volume management fleet machine, receiving an instruction from the session manager service to release the block volume, creating a backup of the block volume comprising the data stored in the block volume, and releasing the block volume.

Abstract: The disclosed technology provides a device for sealing an aperture in a tissue of a body lumen. The device comprises a flexible support member having a base having (i) a central portion and (ii) one or more lateral support portions, to engage and/or hold a sealable member of the device against an interior surface of the tissue when the device is in the sealing position. The lateral support portions provide additional support surfaces to engage peripheral portions of the sealable member against the interior surface of the tissue.

Abstract: Data can be processed in parallel across a cluster of nodes using a parallel processing framework. Using Web services calls between components allows the number of nodes to be scaled as necessary, and allows developers to build applications on the framework using a Web services interface. A job scheduler works together with a queuing service to distribute jobs to nodes as the nodes have capacity, such that jobs can be performed in parallel as quickly as the nodes are able to process the jobs. Data can be loaded efficiently across the cluster, and levels of nodes can be determined dynamically to process queries and other requests on the system.
