Abstract: A load control system may be commissioned using beacons. The load control system may include control devices that each include a beacon transmitting circuit configured to transmit a beacon that comprises an identifier associated with the control device. A network device, such as a mobile device, may discover a control device based on the beacon received from the control device. In response to discovery of the control device, the control device may be added to a temporary group of control devices for being collectively configured and/or controlled. Control devices may be discovered based on the signal strength at which the beacons are received. The control devices may provide feedback to a user in response to confirmation messages to indicate to a user that the lighting control device has been added to the temporary group. The control devices may stop providing the feedback after they are removed from the temporary group.

Abstract: Certain edge networking devices such as application gateways may report status to a cloud-based threat management platform using a persistent network connection between the gateway and the cloud platform. Where a cloud computing platform for an edge networking device or the treat management platform imposes periodic timeouts, the threat management platform may monitor connects and disconnects for edge devices and asynchronously evaluate connection status of edge devices independently of a heartbeat or other signal through the persistent connection in order to distinguish periodic timeouts imposed by the cloud computing platform from networking devices that are compromised or malfunctioning.

Abstract: A design software, e.g., a graphical user interface (GUI) software, may be used to design and/or configure a load control system. The design software may be executed on a network device (e.g., a personal computer, a laptop, a tablet, or a smart phone). The design software may allow for easy configuration of load control panels and effortless multiplication of configured panels during the design of the load control system. Each load control panel may have a plurality of control devices, such as load control devices (e.g., power modules, dimming modules, and/or switching modules), system controllers, and/or power supplies. The design software may allow for the configuration of load control panels having different types and numbers of control devices. In addition, the design software may allow for the multiplication of load control panels having the same configuration (e.g., the same type and number of control devices).

The transistor is coupled to an output of the first inverter. The transistor is configured to charge a capacitor based on the write signal and provide a supply voltage to a write driver. The capacitor is coupled to an output of the second inverter. The capacitor is configured to generate and provide a delta voltage to the write driver.

Abstract: A client device is tracked over a period of time using “refresh tokens” that are exchanged in conjunction with routine client-server communications. Each communication cycle between client and server includes a refresh token that is recorded at the server. The recorded refresh tokens are mapped to both server- and client-generated device identifiers. As communications between client and server occur, a chain of tokens, one for each communication cycle, is progressively recorded at the server. If the server receives a token that is outdated with respect to that which is otherwise expected based on the progression of the recorded chain, this suggests that the received communication was transmitted from a device that is a clone of another client device. A more robust device identification framework is therefore achieved by using a combination of device identifiers and tokens exchanged between client and server.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing delivery of content and tracking the same via audio cues. For example, a client computing device may monitor ambient sound for audio that matches audio sampled from broadcast content. In response to detecting matching audio, the client computing device transmits tracking data to a centralized content server. The content server records the tracking information and evaluates whether the matching audio was detected within a geographic area associated with the broadcast content. If so, the content server executes additional actions including transmitting supplemental content to the client computing device and/or updating summary level metrics that indicate receptions of broadcast content within target geographic locations.

Abstract: The invention provides an augmented reality device and method for assisting a user in choosing appropriate luminaire fixtures to install within their home. A user may point the camera of a mobile device toward the region or location in a room where a new luminaire is desired, and based upon data generated by an orientation determination means included within the device, an appropriate luminaire or luminaire category is selected automatically for the user from a stored catalogue or database. Once an appropriate luminaire has been chosen, it is inserted within an image captured by the camera to generate an augmented reality image depicting the luminaire fixture in place within the user's room.

Abstract: A system provides document storage and sharing on behalf of nodes of a blockchain system. The system includes one or more databases and one or more servers. The one or more servers receive file content of a document from a first node of the blockchain system and stores the file content in the one or more databases. A file hash of the document is generated by applying a hash function to the file content. The file hash is sent to the first node, such as for sharing with one or more other authorized nodes. The one or more servers receives a request for the document from a second node of the blockchain system, the request including the file hash. In response, the one or more servers send the file content of the document to the second node.

Abstract: Project asset and preference sharing techniques are described. In one or more embodiments, a request is received to assign a project asset or preference to a member of a team. The received request includes an identifier of a project for which the project asset or preference will be assigned. To assign the asset or preference specified in the request, a list of teams to which the member belongs is ascertained. The assets and preferences associated with each of the teams are then checked for the identifier to identify the project assets and preferences associated with the project. Once the project assets and preferences associated with the project are identified, a response is generated for communication to the member. The response is configured to include indications of the identified project assets and preferences that enable the member to access the identified project assets and preferences via the application, such that the member is also given access to the assigned project asset or preference.

Abstract: A site server agent monitors a site server for an event associated with an update process that spans multiple resources associated with multiple systems. The agent hands the monitoring off to a remote connected systems manager when a state associated with the event does not change to an expected value within a configured period of time or based on a configured condition. Connected systems manager continues to monitor the state and elevates the event to a level two incident after a second configured period of time or based on a second configured condition. When the state has still not changed after a third configured period of time or based on a third configured condition, a level one incident is generated in an incident management system associated with the site for support staff to immediately investigate the update process and resources of the systems.

Abstract: Order details for an order is evaluated based on real-time data associated with establishments that can satisfy the order, location data, traffic conditions, estimated order preparation times, and available delivery personnel (when the order is associated with a delivery). An optimal establishment that can fulfill the order is selected and the order with the order details is placed with the optimal establishment. In an embodiment, the real-time data continues to be evaluated after the order is placed, and when conditions warrant the order is redirected to a new optimal establishment for fulfillment.
