Abstract: Methods and apparatus to migrate border gateway protocol sessions between routers are disclosed. An example method to migrate a border gateway protocol session from a first router to a second router disclosed herein comprises exporting a connection state to migrate a transport control protocol connection supporting the border gateway protocol session with a session endpoint from the first router to the second router, and after the transport control protocol connection has been migrated to the second router, announcing, from the first router to the second router, routes contained in an exported routing information base associated with the session endpoint, the second router to process the routes to migrate handling of the border gateway protocol session with the session endpoint to the second router.

Abstract: A user's set top box (STB), or other client, executes a shell and has an application program interface (API) by which certain features of the client can be controlled. The client is in communication with a walled garden proxy server (WGPS). The client sends a request to the WGPS to access a service provided by a site in the garden. The site sends the client a message containing code calling a function in the API. The WGPS traps the message from the site and looks up the site in a table to determine the access control list (ACL) for the site. The WGPS includes the ACL in the header of the hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) message to the client. The shell receives the message and extracts the ACL. If the code lacks permission, the shell stops execution.

Abstract: A method and associated apparatus for detaching a frozen charge from an inner wall of a grinding pipe of a tube mill such as is used for grinding. The method includes controlling a driving device of the grinding pipe to detach a frozen charge from an inner wall of the grinding pipe, which driving device is operable to apply a driving torque to the grinding pipe. Controlling the driving device includes varying the driving torque applied to the grinding pipe around a predetermined reference level.

Abstract: A heating device for testing integrated components is disclosed. In one embodiment, an inner casing is arranged in the heating device surrounding a holding chamber. The inner casing contains at least one recess in which an electrically conductive contact device is moveably arranged. This permits contact to be reliably made with a circuit to be tested. If the inner casing is of compact design, there is a very homogeneous temperature distribution in the heating device.

The client is in communication with a walled garden proxy server (WGPS), which controls access to a walled garden. The walled garden contains links to one or more servers providing network-based services. The client sends a request to the WGPS to access a service provided by a site in the garden. To provide the service, the site sends the client a message containing code calling a function in the API. The WGPS traps the message from the site and looks up the site in a table to determine the access control list (ACL) for the site. The ACL is a bit-map that specifies which functions of the client's API can be invoked by code from the site. The WGPS includes the ACL in the header of the hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) message to the client. The shell receives the message and extracts the ACL.

In accordance with some embodiments, systems for controlling the exposure of orders to trading platforms are provided, the systems comprising: at least one hardware processor that: receives information for at least one order to trade a security; and for each of a plurality of trading platforms, determines how the at least one order is to be exposed to trading platform based on at least one of a default exposure setting for all orders for the trading platform, at least one filter for the trading platform, and an exposure status setting for the trading platform and the at least one order, and provides information for the at least one order to the trading platform.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can facilitate consistent experiences with respect to control or configuration of a feature or function of a device. In particular, a reusable graphical user interface (GUI) component can be employed to interact with a specific feature or function of the device rather than to a specific device or application.
