  • Patent number: 11930382
    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus for spectrum data management for a radio frequency (RF) environment are disclosed. An apparatus comprises at least one receiver, an automatic signal detection (ASD) module, and a learning and conflict detection engine. The apparatus is at the edge of a communication network. The at least one receiver processes RF energy received from the RF environment, thereby generating processed data. The ASD module is configured to extract meta data and detect anomaly based on the processed data. The learning and conflict detection engine is configured for conflict recognition and anomaly identification based on the processed data. The apparatus is operable to generate at least one report for the RF environment.

  • Publication number: 20240078583
    Abstract: A search system generates custom attributes for use as search facets. User input associated with an image of a target item available on a listing platform is received. The image is analyzed to determine an attribute of the target item as a custom attribute. A value for the custom attribute is determined for each of a number of other items available on the listing platform that are of the same item type as the target item. Search results are provided based at least in part on the values of the custom attribute for the other items.

  • Patent number: 11916789
    Abstract: A method performed by a packet processor comprises retrieving a first prefix length for a first lookup stage and a shorter second prefix length for a second lookup stage. The packet processor can receive instructions to program an action entry. The length of the action entry prefix is compared to the first prefix and second prefix length. If it is determined that the length of the action entry prefix is shorter than the second prefix length, the second prefix length is selected as an expanded prefix length. If it is determined that the length of the action entry prefix is longer than the second prefix length and shorter than the first prefix length, then the first prefix length is selected as the expanded prefix length. Expanded action entries are generated with expanded prefixes of the expanded prefix length and stored at the lookup stage associated with the expanded prefix length.

  • Patent number: 11893395
    Abstract: A native restart controller restarts services in a controlled manner. The services run in a cloud computing environment comprising a plurality of computing devices executing a plurality of Kubernetes pods comprising one or more containers. An indication is received of a deployment defining a service to be implemented in the cloud computing environment, the deployment including a desired number of instances of the service. An API is instantiated that is operable to provide a first state indicative of whether restarts are to be controlled by the restart controller and a second state indicating that a restart is required. In response to receiving an indication that restarts for the cluster are to be controlled by the restart controller and that a restart is required, the instances are restarted in a sequence in accordance with restart criteria associated with the service.

  • Publication number: 20240031226
    Abstract: A service orchestrator receives a definition of a change to a network service to be deployed over a plurality of sites of a communications network. The definition comprises a configuration schema with a plurality of fields, which are partitioned into a plurality of different configuration group types. The service orchestrator receives an instance of the configuration group type. The service orchestrator receives conditional convergence logic specifying the received instance each site is to use conditional on a current state instance of the configuration group type used at the site. The service orchestrator sends instructions to each of the sites based on the conditional convergence logic, the instructions comprising the received instance. The instructions are configured to trigger a site convergence agent at each site to deploy the change to the network service according to the received instance of the configuration group type and the conditional convergence logic.

  • Publication number: 20240022651
    Abstract: In operation, packets traverse the packet processing data structure, and the network processing represented by each object in the data structure is applied to each packet. From time to time, the packet processing data structure may need to be updated. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for lock-free updating of a packet processing data structure by means of epoch-based garbage collection. In embodiments, a particular past packet processing epoch is considered to be no longer referenced by any cores when the sequence numbers recorded in each said memory location are different to the sequence number of that particular past packet processing epoch. The deletion thread checks both whether a past epoch is being referenced by any packets and whether it is being reference by any cores. Thus memory is safely freed without having any impact on any packet processing which may be occurring in parallel to the deletion thread.

  • Publication number: 20240020289
    Abstract: Key data is processed using a hash table data structure. Control data storage locations have a write-availability indicated by a first write-availability state indicating that the location is available to be written to, and a second write-availability state indicating that the location is not available to be written to. A temporary label value is stored in a selected control data storage location to render the selected location and a corresponding key data storage location inactive for read-out. The write-availability of the control data storage location is changed to the second write-availability state in association with the storage of the processed label value in the selected location. A read-out label value is obtained and the temporary label value stored in the selected control data storage location is over-written with the obtained read-out label value, to render the selected control data storage location and corresponding key data storage location active for read-out.

  • Publication number: 20230295887
    Abstract: The Telescoptic Pooper Scooper has a thin metal telescopic handle that extends from 6? inches long to up to 3? feet for the animals owner to be able to insert the poop catching bag down the middle of the plastic ring and fold the sides of the bag over the top of the ring and clip the poop bag into the three outside clips to hold it. And then extend it out from their hand to reach under the animals behind to catch the poop directly into the bag so they do not have to touch the poop through the bag making the entire experience of taking the animal outside to poop, especially for dog walkers and owners who live in apartments, more hygienic, convenient, and saves time for the owner or animal walker. It's less messy, and less damage to grass. Which makes it easier if it's raining when walking them you do not have to stop and try to pick up the poop with one hand through a thin plastic bag while trying to handle the animal on a leash and trying to pick up the poop.

  • Publication number: 20230263658
    Abstract: Medical devices, systems, and methods for pain management and other applications may apply cooling with at least one probe inserted through an exposed skin surface of skin. The cooling may remodel one or more target tissues so as to effect a desired change in composition of the target tissue and/or a change in its behavior, often to interfere with transmission of pain signals along sensory nerves. Alternative embodiments may interfere with the function of motor nerves, the function of contractile muscles, and/or some other tissue included in the contractile function chain so as to inhibit muscle contraction and thereby alleviate associated pain. In some embodiments, other sources of pain such as components of the spine (optionally including herniated disks) may be treated.
