Abstract: A device includes a thermal mitigation system that operates to reduce performance of a component of the device to prevent the device from getting too hot. The system uses a combination of a time-based technique and a temperature-based technique to perform thermal mitigation. The time-based technique refers to using an indication of the device usage as well as the amount of current drawn by the device at any given time to predict an amount of time that the device is to run in a non-reduced performance mode before reaching a target temperature threshold, and an amount of time for the device to run in a reduced performance mode to cool down. The temperature-based technique refers to monitoring the temperature of the device (or a component of the device) and powering off the device in response to detecting that a monitored temperature exceeds a critical threshold temperature.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for application data amalgamation through integration with third-party applications. A dynamic stub operates within a user interface application on a client computing device. The dynamic stub enables integration of functionality of an associated middleware system. The dynamic stub extracts data from a user interface of a third-party application system based on a set of data capture components. The dynamic stub transmits data to the middleware system. The middleware system transmits information back to the dynamic stub based on the data. The middleware system can reconfigure the dynamic stub in order to alter at least a portion of the user interface based on the information received from the middleware system.

Abstract: Ghost routing is a network verification technique that uses a portion of a production network itself to verify the impact of potential network changes. Ghost routing logically partitions the production network into a main network and a ghost network. The main network handles live traffic while the ghost network handles traffic generated for diagnostic purposes. The ghost network may have a network topology identical to the production network and may use the same hardware and software as the production network. An operator may implement a network configuration change on the ghost network and then use verification tools to verify that the network configuration change on the ghost network does not result in bugs. Verifying on the ghost network may not affect the main network. If the network operator verifies the network configuration change on the ghost network, the network operator may implement the network configuration change on the main network.

Abstract: A computing device receives from a user a partial natural language input related to a data source. The computing device receives an additional keystroke corresponding to the partial natural language input. The partial natural language input and the additional keystroke comprise a character string. In response to the additional keystroke, the computing device generates one or more interpretations corresponding to entities in the data source. The computing device displays the interpretations. In some implementation, the character string comprises a sequence of terms, and the device displays the interpretations in a dropdown menu adjacent to the most recently entered term in the sequence. In some implementations, the dropdown menu includes a plurality of rows, each row displaying a respective data value and a respective data field corresponding to the respective data value. Some implementations display a statistical distribution of data values for a data field (displayed adjacent to the first interpretation).

Abstract: A system and method for producing products based upon demand are disclosed. In some cases, the products include containers and the contents therein. The containers are disposed on vehicles and are independently routable along a track system and are deliverable to at least one unit operation station.

Verifying on the ghost network may not affect the main network. If the network operator verifies the network configuration change on the ghost network, the network operator may implement the network configuration change on the main network.

Abstract: Techniques of network configuration verification are disclosed herein. One example process includes, upon receiving a query to determine whether a packet from a first endpoint is reachable to a second endpoint in a virtual network, identifying a network path between the first endpoint to the second endpoint in a network graph. The network graph has nodes representing corresponding enforcement points of network policies in the virtual network and edges connecting pairs of the nodes. The example process can also include generating compound function representing conjoined individual constraints of the network policies at each of the nodes in the network graph along the identified network path, compiling the generated compound function into a Boolean formula, and solving the compiled Boolean formula to determine whether an assignment of values to packet fields of the packet exists such that all the conjoined individual constraints of the compound function can be satisfied.

Abstract: The system disclosed herein implements an improved end-to-end network performance for data transmissions that span multiple networks operated by different organizations. The improvements are achieved as a result of exchanging routing information. For instance, the exchanged routing information can be representative of network performance factors. When different operators of different networks agree to exchange routing information, an optimal end-to-end path between two endpoint devices can be identified and selected for data transmission. This benefits both network operators as the users served by the networks are more likely to be satisfied with the user experience (e.g., faster download and upload of data).
