  • High-Performance Naming Service Using an Optimistic-Concurrency-Control In-Memory Database
    Publication number: 20180329937
    Abstract: Implementing a naming service for a hierarchal namespace in a database format. A method includes at a database, wherein the database stores a first table having references to hierarchical nodes in a hierarchical namespace, and a second table with relational references to hierarchical nodes referenced in the first table, detecting an edge modification event changing one or more edges of a node in the hierarchical namespace. The method further includes, as a result, creating a unique row in the second table for the edge modification event in the hierarchical namespace. Any edge modification event results in creation of a unique row in the second table such that different entities can cause overlapping edge modification events that can be documented at the database without transactional conflicts.

  • Access Control Lists for High-Performance Naming Service
    Publication number: 20180330106
    Abstract: A naming service for a hierarchical namespace. The naming service includes a database system with a first table having first records. Each of the first records is for a hierarchical node and includes a node identifier and an ACL identifier to a set of access control rules applicable to the node. The database system includes a second table including second records, each record in the second records has one of the ACL identifiers from the first table correlated with a definition access control rules in the set of access control rules. The naming service includes an access control rule identifier generator configured to detect a set of access control rules for each node in the namespace and generate an a ACL identifier for each set of access control rules that can be stored in records in the first table and stored in records in the second table.

  • Methods and Systems for Accessing Relevant Content
    Publication number: 20180332086
    Abstract: A server system sends links to content categories for display on a user device associated with a user. Each content category corresponds to a subset of content items. When a link to one of the content categories is selected, the corresponding subset of the content items is sent for display on the user device. The system selects a group of content items according to determined relevance scores for the user based on one or more relevance criteria and sends links to the content items in the group for display on the user device in a first order according to the relevance scores. The system adjusts the relevance scores of some content items in the group according to user feedback and resends links to the content items in the group for display on the user device in a second order according to the adjusted relevance scores.

  • APPLICATION SPECIFIC ADAPTION OF USER INPUT ASSIGNMENTS FOR INPUT DEVICES
    Publication number: 20180329599
    Abstract: Techniques are shown for changing input assignments of an input device controls for a first application while leaving assignments unchanged for other applications. When a first application is active, a first input action is registered from activation of an input control selected for mode control. In response, when an input mode of the first application corresponds to standard device mapping inputs, the input mode is changed to an input mode corresponding to an alternate device mapping inputs assigned to a subset of input controls. When the first application is in alternate device mapping mode, input control activations are registered according to the alternate device mapping actions. When a second application is active, input control activations are registered according to the standard input mapping actions.

  • Devices and Methods for Providing Access to Internal Component
    Publication number: 20180315371
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for applying concealment of components of an electronic device. In one embodiment, an electronic device may include a component that is disposed behind a display (e.g., a transparent organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display) that is configured to selectively become transparent at certain transparency regions. Additionally, the electronic device includes data processing circuitry configured to determine when an event requesting that the component be exposed occurs. The data processing circuitry may control portions of the display to become transparent, to expose the component upon the occurrence of the event requesting that the component be exposed.
