Abstract: A system for facilitating loop-free traffic forwarding is provided. During operation, the system can operate a switch as a tunnel endpoint for a plurality of tunnels with corresponding remote endpoints. The system can determine a tunnel network identifier (TNI) associated with a respective virtual local area network (VLAN) configured at the switch. The system can then enable the TNI for a first tunnel among the plurality of tunnels for carrying traffic of the VLAN. Here, traffic of the VLAN is only forwarded over the first tunnel. Therefore, the system can prevent the rest of the plurality of tunnels from looping the traffic of the VLAN back to the switch. The system can select a second tunnel as a standby tunnel for the TNI from the rest of the plurality of tunnels. If the first tunnel is unavailable, the system can enable the TNI for the second tunnel for traffic forwarding.

Abstract: A secure programming system can receive a job control package having a security kernel and a target payload of content for programming into a pre-defined set of trusted devices. A device programmer can install a security kernel on the trusted devices and reboot the trusted devices using the security kernel to validate the proper operation of the security kernel. The target payload can then be securely installed on the trusted devices and validated.

Abstract: An online concierge system detects acquired items included among an inventory of a customer and identifies one or more candidate available items from the acquired items based on a predicted perishability of each item and a predicted amount of each item that was used. The system retrieves recipes, matches the item(s) likely to be available to a set of recipes based on their ingredients, and identifies any remaining items for each matched recipe not likely to be available. The system retrieves a set of attributes associated with the customer and the set of recipes and computes a suggestion score for each recipe based on the attributes. The system ranks the recipes based on their scores, identifies one or more recipes for suggesting to the customer based on the ranking, and sends the recipe(s) and any remaining items for each recipe to a client device associated with the customer.

Abstract: An implantable system for managing urinary incontinence includes a sling with an elongate body member having a proximal portion, a distal portion and an intermediate portion. The intermediate portion is configured to be positioned underneath urethra of a subject for providing an adequate support to prevent leakage of urine during a stress event. A pressure sensor communicatively coupled with the elongated body member is configured to be positioned in an abdominal cavity and adapted to sense an increase in intra-abdominal pressure. The pressure sensor generates a first signal that is indicative of a change in the intra-abdominal pressure upon occurrence of the stress event. A processing circuit processes the first signal sensed by the pressure sensor and generates a second signal causing an adjustment of tensioning force in the elongate body member thereby changing magnitude of a supporting force to the urethra.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for extremely high throughput (EHT) and high frequency bandwidth (BW) support indication are described. A first wireless device may establish a wireless communication link with a second wireless device, receive, from the second wireless device, a first message, and transmit a second message to the second wireless device. The first message may indicate that the second wireless device is capable of communicating using a first physical layer (PHY) mode having a first latency below a first threshold and a first BW associated with a throughput having a second latency below a second threshold. The second message may similarly indicate whether the first wireless device is capable of communicating using the first PHY mode and the first BW. The first wireless device may select a second PHY mode and a second BW for communicating data with the second wireless device based on receiving the first message.

Abstract: A class of complex logic gates are presented that use non-linear polar material. The logic gates include multi-input majority gates. At least one input to an individual multi-input majority gate is a fixed input. Other inputs are driven to non-linear input capacitors on their respective first terminals. The second terminals of the non-linear input capacitors are coupled a summing node, which provides a majority function of the inputs. The summing node is coupled to a CMOS logic. Leakage through the capacitors is configured such that capacitors of a majority gate have substantially equal leakage, and this leakage has a I-V behavior which is symmetric. As such, reset device(s) on the summing node are not used. The non-linear charge response from the non-linear input capacitors results in output voltages close to or at rail-to-rail voltage levels, which reduces the high leakage problem faced from majority gates that use linear input capacitors.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some wireless communications system may utilize an inter-system information report message (e.g., a self-organizing network (SON) information report message) to support inter-system mobility load balancing (MLB). For example, a first node, operating in accordance with a first radio access technology (RAT), may receive an information report message from a second node operating in accordance with a second RAT. The information report message may include a periodic load reporting request information element (IE) or an event-triggered load reporting request IE. In response, the first node may determine a traffic load based on the load reporting request and transmit, to the second node, an information report message which includes one or more IEs for reporting the determined traffic load. The exchange of the load information via the IEs may enable for MLB between nodes of different RAT.
