Abstract: Techniques described herein take character glyphs as input and generate a text-on-a-path text object that includes the character glyphs arranged in a determined order along a path. For instance, a method described herein includes accessing character glyphs in input data. The method further includes determining an order for the character glyphs based on relative positions and orientations of the character glyphs in the input data. The method further includes generating a path for the character glyphs, based on the order, and associating the path with the character glyphs. Further, the method includes generating a text object that includes the set of character glyphs arranged in the order along the path.

Abstract: An executable application's architecture may be mapped by executing the executable application, inputting a series of request data sets into the executable application, receiving one or more responses from the executable application, and performing an evaluation based on the responses. One or more indications of an architectural component may be extracted from metadata associated with the one or more received responses and associated with a corresponding request data set of the series of request data sets. The one or more indications of an architectural component may be associated with processing by the executable application of the corresponding request data set of the series of request data sets. An architecture of the executable application may be determined based on the one or more indications of an architectural component.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for implementing a payment optimizer application module are disclosed. A supplier system accepts a predefined fixed net payment term for all participating buyers on a network. A processor determines weighted average cost of capital (WACC) data of buyer key data points from buyer audited statements data corresponding to a payment file data and WACC data of supplier key data points from supplier audited statements data corresponding to the payment file data. The processor also determines an optimal disbursement date of payment over the predefined fixed net payment term based on the WACC data; applies the stored set of payment rules to determine an optimal payment method corresponding to the WACC data; and automatically executes disbursement of a payment to the supplier in accordance with the optimal disbursement date based on the optimal payment method.

Abstract: An object is coupled to a glyph in a text segment, while maintaining the text segment as editable. The text segment includes glyphs, which are graphical representations of characters. Each glyph is defined internally in the form of path information, which includes one or more points corresponding to the outline of the glyph. The path information for the text segment is determined and utilized in order to facilitate the coupling of an object with the text segment. The text segment remains editable as text subsequent to such coupling.

In some examples, the one or more synthesized brush strokes fill at least a part of the region of the image. The image is displayed, along with the user-defined brush stroke and the one or more synthesized brush strokes within the region of the image.

Abstract: A graph of devices is constructed, each device requiring an amount of bandwidth over the network, each vertex of the graph corresponding to a respective one of the devices, each edge of the graph connecting devices according to a weight denoting interference between the connected devices. The vertices of the graph are labeled with labels such that no two vertices sharing the same edge have the same label, each label requiring bandwidth corresponding to the device of that label requiring the most bandwidth. If the sum of the bandwidth required for the labels exceeds the set bandwidth, the edge of the graph having the least interference is deleted, and the perform the construct and label operations are repeated. If the sum of the bandwidth required for the labels is within the set bandwidth, the bandwidth is assigned to the devices.

Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to service mesh management. A service mesh proxy routes incoming requests to one or more microservices in a container. At least one microservice has one or more associated API twins, each definable to enforce a policy based on application-level context information unavailable from incoming requests. A microgateway hosting the API twin(s) is instantiated and is configurable to automatically and transparently ensure that (a) incoming requests that otherwise would be directed to an end microservice having one or more associated API twins will be re-directed to an appropriate one of these one or more API twins en route to the end microservice, and (b) outgoing responses that otherwise would be directed by each such end microservice to the service mesh proxy will be re-routed to the microgateway en route to the service mesh proxy. Incoming requests' structures are unchanged pre- and post-microgateway runtime.

Abstract: A lead time calculation system includes a configured lead time generator and a measured lead time generator. The configured lead time generator calculates a lead time estimate to move products between a first node in a supply chain and a second node in the supply chain based on expected travel times, expected warehouse times, expected sourcing times, delivery schedules, unloading schedules, and product-node relationship data. A measured lead time generator receives electronic data interchange (EDI) events, receipts, and purchase order data and calculates an actual lead time for the first node and second node. The actual lead time can be compared with the configured lead time to evaluate performance of different aspects of the supply chain. Lead time estimates can be adjusted based on actual lead times that are measured by the measured lead time generator.

Abstract: Techniques for decreasing (or eliminating) the possibility of a skill performing an action that is not responsive to a corresponding user input are described. A system may train one or more machine learning models with respect to user inputs, which resulted in incorrect actions being performed by skills, and corresponding user inputs, which resulted in the correct action being performed. The system may use the trained machine learning model(s) to rewrite user inputs that, if not rewritten, may result in incorrect actions being performed. The system may implement the trained machine learning model(s) with respect to ASR output text data to determine if the ASR output text data corresponds (or substantially corresponds) to previous ASR output text data that resulted in an incorrect action being performed.
