Abstract: Containers are allocated to tenants in a multi-tenant container system in a SaaS environment. Resource usage by containers is monitored to determine one or more per-tenant resource metrics, where each container provides an isolated execution space dedicated to a corresponding tenant. Data storage may also be isolated for each tenant. Each tenant is allocated resources associated with one or more containers. Containers are automatically allocated to tenants based at least in part upon the one or more per-tenant resource metrics.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods to optimize data backup in a distributed enterprise system by firstly generating a set of unique files from all the files available in the enterprise. A backup set comprising files to be backed up are then generated from the set of unique files and backup is scheduled in the order in which the files to be backed up are identified. Unique files are generated based on file sharing patterns and communications among users that enable generating a social network graph from which one or more communities can be detected and deduplication can be performed on the files hosted by client systems in these communities thereby conserving resources.

Abstract: Processor hardware detects when memory aliasing occurs, and assures proper operation of the code even in the presence of memory aliasing. Because the hardware can detect and correct for memory aliasing, this allows a compiler to make optimizations such as register promotion even in regions of the code where memory aliasing can occur. The result is code that is more optimized and therefore runs faster.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for a wireless communication network including detecting a trigger to switch a serving channel at a first access point, and communicating a first channel switch message from the first access point to a second access point. The first access point may be in a downstream and/or upstream or communication flow in relation to the second access point. The process may include communicating a first Channel Switching Announcement (CSA) message from the second access point to at least one client of the second access point, where the least one client is one of a plurality of clients receiving internet connectivity through a series of communication flows including a data flow through the second access point. The process further includes revising a time to switch channel information included in the first channel switch message, where the first CSA message includes the revised time to switch channel information.

Abstract: Features are disclosed for controlling monitoring devices during unattended delivery of an item. The systems and methods described ensure the monitoring devices are monitoring a delivery location at a specified level before granting unattended access to the delivery location. Access may also be conditioned on user specified “do not disturb” rules indicating when remote access is authorized.

Abstract: Waste chute devices and methods for using the same are provided. In some embodiments, a method for operating waste chutes comprises: receiving, using a hardware processor of a waste chute device, an identity associated with a user of the waste chute device; in response to receiving the identity associated with the user, allowing, using the hardware processor, a door of the waste chute device to be opened; determining, using the hardware processor, a number of items and at least one type associated with the items that have been placed in an opening of the waste chute device; determining, using the hardware processor, that the door of the waste chute device has been closed; updating, using the hardware processor, information associated with the user based on the number of items and the at least one type of items that have been placed in the opening of the waste chute device; and providing, using the hardware processor, the user with the updated information.

Abstract: A single centralized metadata repository for an entire enterprise can maintain the metadata pertaining to various different web service applications on application servers of heterogeneous types within the enterprise. The metadata items stored in the centralized repository all can be stored in a same canonical format that can be expected and understood by all metadata accessors. The metadata maintained within the central repository can be given a life span that is linked with the life span of the web service application to which that metadata pertains. When a web service application is deployed on an application server, metadata pertaining to that webservice can be pushed automatically to the central repository for storage. When such a web service application is undeployed from an application server, the metadata pertaining to that webservice can be removed automatically from the central repository so as not to waste storage space.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a computer system with cache policy that may be modified in response to temperature changes. In some embodiments, the system may include a memory storage having a first storage device with a first response time, and a second storage device with a second response time that may be higher than the first response time. The system may include a cache policy module to facilitate execution of I/O requests to access the memory storage. The cache policy module may be configured to restrict access to at least a portion of the first storage device and provide access to the second storage device, in response to an increase of temperature of the first storage device above a threshold. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Communicating wireless devices collaborate and utilize waveforms to enable secure channel estimation. To protect against a repetitive replay attack, some embodiments include Single Carrier Physical Layer (SC-PHY) waveforms and/or interpolated OFDM waveforms that do not include a repeatable or predictable structure. The waveforms are transmitted in ranging packet structures that are compatible with legacy 802.11 technologies that do not utilize secure channel estimation. The ranging packets are received in combination with the information previously exchanged to enable the receiving wireless system to securely determine a channel estimate (e.g., determine a channel estimate without an interloper transmission that is not an authentic first arrival path in a multi-path channel between the wireless systems). Thus, one or both of the wireless systems can estimate the distance between them (or range). Devices utilizing legacy 802.

Access may also be conditioned on user specified “do not disturb” rules indicating when remote access is authorized. The authentication may be dynamically assessed such as based on a type of item being delivered.
