Abstract: In an example, a network controller for an SDN architecture system includes processing circuitry of a central cluster of first one or more compute nodes; a configuration node configured for execution by the processing circuitry; a control node configured for execution by the processing circuitry. The configuration node includes a custom API server to process requests for operations on custom resources for SDN architecture configuration.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques to regenerate SYNC bits of a High-Speed data packet lost by the transmission envelope detector of a repeater/hub that interconnects electronic devices compliant with Universal Serial Bus (USB) Specification Revision 2.0 or higher. A physical layer logic (PHY) of a first port of the repeater/hub receives a High-Speed data packet to store a recovered bit stream into an elastic buffer. The recovered bit stream may lose some SYNC bits at the beginning of the SYNC pattern. The repeater/hub reads the recovered bit stream from the elastic buffer for transmission through the PHY of a second port. If the end of the SYNC is read before a programmable number of SYNC bits have been transmitted, the repeater/hub generates additional SYNC bits for transmission until the programmable number of SYNC bits are transmitted. The repeater/hub then resumes transmitting the rest of the High-Speed data packet starting from the payload.

Abstract: Computing device state or activity based task reminders and automatic tracking of statuses of task-related activities are provided. Users are enabled to create reminders that are triggered based on a device state of the user’s device or activity signals from the operating system, an application, or a user file. The status of a task item can be inferred from signals collected from one or more sources. The signals provide information associated with tasks that the user performs in various life events. Machine learning, statistical analysis, behavioral analytics, and data mining techniques are applied to the signals, and the user’s activities are mapped to task items that the user has created. An inferred status of a task activity can be shared with other systems, or can be used for a variety of functions (e.g., to automatically update the user’s task list, or to remind the user of an uncompleted task item).

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for saving power in a Universal Serial Bus (USB) repeater/re-timer between a USB host and a peripheral device by intercepting packets received from the host to predict the direction of data traffic to selectively turn off/on circuitry of a peripheral port used to receive packets from the peripheral device. If a host port determines that the host is sending a start-of-frame (SOF) packet, the direction of data flow is from the host to the peripheral device, and the repeater may turn off the peripheral port such as squelch circuitry. If the host port determines that the host is sending a non-SOF packet, such as an address token that precedes a host-to-peripheral-device data transfer or a peripheral-device-to-host data transfer, the direction of data flow is anticipated to be from the peripheral device to the host, and the repeater may re-enable the deactivated circuitry of the peripheral port.

If there is a breach of threshold, a remediation plan is automatically executed causing the remediation of anomalies. The system is trained to determine the dynamic threshold values through machine learning models which are developed and trained through metrics data and by determining error patterns from the historic unstructured log data.
