Abstract: Systems and methods for mitigating latency. For example, prior to ingesting a data stream, the system extracts a communication identifier from the data stream. The system may then compare the communication identifier to a state-specific communication reference directory that indicates a current state a given communication, a cloud component currently processing the communication (or a portion thereof), and/or other information used to sort the communication. As the state-specific communication reference directory ensures proper triaging of the data stream, the system is not reliant on maintaining session persistence.

Abstract: An animal waste collection device is able to illuminate the area where a pet has left fecal matter at night by a battery operated lighting system build into the device. The device consists of two separate lighting systems, one operated by either of two momentary switches located in the handle of the device located on the right end and the left end of the handle. When either button is depressed the general area where the pet has left the fecal matter is illuminated by two LED lights, one of each side of the device. The operator will pull the operating handle upward to open the two opposing jaws of the device. On the opening of the jaws, two additional LED lights will illuminate, activated by a micro switch sensing the opening of the waste collection jaws over the fecal matter being collected. On collection of the fecal matter into the hopper of the device, the operator releases the activation handle and the two LED lights illuminating the hopper area turn off.

Abstract: This invention comprises an animal waste collection device with a battery operated dual illumination system capable of illuminating the area where a pet has left fecal matter at night. System 1 has dual LED lights located on either side of the device which are operated via dual switches in the handle. These lights allow the operator to see the fecal matter. System 2 is comprised of lights located within the pick-up area of the device and is automatically activated when the pick-up device is opened. These lights automatically turn off when the device closes. Once the operator has captured the fecal matter he can release the switch turning off the device. The device has reflective tape on both sides causing oncoming traffic to see the operator walking. System 1 lights may be activated when vehicles approach as an added safety feature.
