Abstract: A server has a processor and a memory connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to collect scan lists from client devices. Each scan list specifies a WiFi access point identifier collected by a client device and geographic coordinates of the client device when the WiFi access point identifier was collected. A cluster of geographic coordinates is formed around a designated WiFi access point. A centroid within the cluster is identified. The location of the centroid is ascribed as the geographic position of the designated WiFi access point. A client device is advised when the designated WiFi access point is a known mobile WiFi access point to facilitate connection between the client device and the known mobile WiFi access point.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for providing effective connectivity with surface level microbumps on an integrated circuit package substrate. In an embodiment, different metals are variously electroplated to form a microbump which extends through a surface-level dielectric of a substrate to a seed layer including copper. The microbump includes nickel and tin, wherein the nickel aids in mitigating an absorption of seed layer copper. In another embodiment, the microbump has a mass fraction of tin, or a mass fraction of nickel, that is different in various regions along a height of the microbump.

Abstract: A medication container comprises a body portion and a grid coupled to the body portion. The grid and the tray each comprise a corresponding number of wells configured to contain medication. The tray is configured to be inserted into and removed from the body portion, above the grid. The tray may be configured to be connected to and disconnected from the grid, when the tray is inserted into the body portion. The wells of the grid may be configured to be manually loaded with medication by a user and the wells of the tray may be configured to be received by the user loaded with medication in accordance with a medication regimen. The first wells may be integral with the grid and the second wells may be integral with the tray.

Abstract: Application validation is performed based on object level hierarchy data associated with the application. An application is executed on a physical or emulated host device, and assembly code is generated for the executing application. The assembly code is analyzed to identify objects associated with the application, and to identify relationships between the objects. Based on the object and relationship data, an object level hierarchy is generated for the application. Validation of the application may be performed by comparing an object level hierarchy for a current version of the application to a previously generated hierarchy for a previous version of the application to identify differences between the two hierarchies.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating characterizing customized computing objects of a software application, such as a networked enterprise application. An example method includes identifying one or more custom computing objects of one or more software applications of a computing environment; determining one or more grouping criteria for grouping identified custom objects; grouping information pertaining to the one or more custom objects based on the one or more grouping criteria, resulting in one or more custom object groupings; and using the one or more custom object groupings, with reference to data characterizing one or more changes slated to be made to the software application, to generate one or more user interface display screens. In a more specific embodiment, the data characterizing one or more changes includes metadata characterizing core software application maintenance events, upgrades, and/or other modifications.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for filtering a list of fonts based on the criteria that each font in the resulting filter supports every single glyph in an arbitrary array of glyphs. The array of glyphs may include one or more glyphs and can be, for example, user-defined (e.g., based on a user content selection within a given document, or entries made on a configuration page) and/or defined by a selected digital document or folder system (where only fonts that support all glyphs used within that entire document or folder system are listed). The techniques can be implemented, for instance, in digital content generation/editing systems that allow for a variety of different fonts and glyphs to be used. In any such cases, the system can be configured to allow for viewing a filtered font list, such that each and every glyph of interest is supported by each font presented in the list.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for interfacing software-defined networks with non-software-defined networks may include (1) receiving at least one packet via software-defined network at a switching device, (2) searching a set of flow entries that collectively direct network traffic within the software-defined network for a flow entry that corresponds to the packet, (3) determining that the packet is destined for a non-software-defined network based at least in part on the search, and (4) forwarding the packet to the non-software-defined network via a logical tunnel that interfaces the software-defined network with the non-software-defined network by connecting a virtual port within the software-defined network to a virtual port within the non-software-defined network. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A remote control module enables remote operation and control of a host device such as a mobile computing device. The user may employ an interface of the service to specify input events to be executed on the host device, such as touch, text, numeric, key, voice, haptic, or other types of inputs. The input events may be executed on the device through a virtualization module executing as a background process on the device. A display capture module may also execute as a background process on the host device to capture screenshots of the host device display using a hardware video encoder of the host device. The screenshots are placed in device memory. The remote control module may retrieve the screenshots from the host device memory, assemble them into a video stream, and provide the video stream to the user through the user interface as a real-time view of the host device.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for replicating the appearance of typographical attributes and text adornments in digital publications. Content in a fixed layout format is converted into a standard digital publication format by applying a <span> tag to each word of the content. Each <span> tag includes a CSS letter spacing attribute that is calculated based on the effective width of each glyph forming the word in the fixed layout format, and the default width of the same glyph in the digital publication format. In this manner, the corresponding word is rendered in approximately the same space in both the fixed layout and digital publication formats.

Abstract: A method for reducing dynamic power consumption of an integrated circuit design having flip-flops with an EDA tool that initiates clock gating by gating a clock signal received by the flip-flops. A first set of positive-edge triggered flip-flops and a second set of negative-edge triggered flip-flops, and a first set of OR-type clock gating cells and a second set of AND-type clock gating cells are selected from a technology library. The OR-type clock gating cells are connected to clock input terminals of the first set of positive-edge triggered flip-flops and the AND-type clock gating cells to clock terminals of the second set of negative-edge triggered flip-flops.
