Abstract: A system and method for web-based interface design tool is provided. The design tool enables system designers to quickly and independently design a custom serial-link interface. The system provides interface selection and signal integrity analysis. An interface selection may interact with system designers to prompt for a set of selection criteria such as data-rate, supply rail, standard protocol, and intended application. An intelligent search engine screens through a large interface products database based on the selection criteria and provides designers with a list of devices that potentially meet the design criteria. The performance of the custom system with the selected device can be evaluated by using a web-based IBIS-AMI standard-compliant signal integrity simulator. A designers can have options to manually fine tune selected devices' parameters to iterate through different settings to determine the robustness of the solution.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided of a digital assistant service for executing user instructions. Indeed, an audio instruction is received by the digital assistant service. The audio instruction comprises audio data of an instruction to be executed on behalf of the submitting user. Moreover, the audio instruction does not explicitly identify a target skill provider for carrying the user's instruction. Upon receiving the audio instruction, a first skill for carrying out the user's instruction is determined. A user record of the user is accessed, where the user record identifies the user's preferences regarding preferred skill providers corresponding to a plurality of skills. A skill provider corresponding to the first skill according to the user record is identified, and the first skill is executed via the identified skill provider on behalf of the user.

Abstract: A contextual application organizer framework learns about application usage behavior based on user context from multiple different signals (e.g., email, OFFICE graph, Short Message Service, browsing history, search history, device usage, location) and surfaces relevant applications that a user may need for the current context or activity. A user context graph is created from user life events and an index of user activity of applications. Application usage signals are mapped from user preferences and world knowledge to the user context graph. Upon detecting a current user context, relevant applications derived from the user context graph are surfaced in a contextual application organizer.

Abstract: An enterprise system which facilitates synchronization of offline data. Offline data created during an offline session or sessions (collectively an offline session) prior to synchronization is assigned a temporary key. Changes of offline data created during an offline session is assigned the temporary key of the data to which the change is associated. The temporary key is mapped to a new created backend key and stored in a mapping table. Using the mapping table, temporary keys associated with the changes are swapped with backend keys which the temporary keys are mapped. This maintains data persistency of newly created and change data during an offline session.
