Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for dynamically switching between synchronous and asynchronous communication channels. A communication request can be received from an application, and a request identifier can be generated for the communication request. The communication request can be transmitted to an edge server application via a first communication channel. The first communication channel can be selected from a plurality of communication channels based at least in part on a policy. In an instance in which a condition specified by the policy is detected in the transmission of the communication request, a second communication channel can be selected from the plurality of communication channels. The communication request can be transmitted to the edge server application using the second communication channel.

The plunger and the housing are co-operatively configured such that the plunger is operable for reciprocating movement through the housing passage, with effect that: the plunger traverses a plunger-traversable section of the inner surface of the housing, and solids-comprising reservoir fluid material is displaceable in an uphole direction via the housing passage. At least a portion of the recess is a plunger-traversable recess, and the plunger-traversable recess portion is defined within the plunger-traversable section, the housing passage includes a downhole space disposed downhole relative to the plunger-traversable section, and the plunger-traversable recess portion is disposed in flow communication with the downhole space.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to configuring a legacy application or service with a reconfigurable cryptographic provider capable of leveraging many different cryptographic algorithms, protocols or functions. The application or service can be configured with the reconfigurable cryptographic provider by redirecting cryptographic API calls intended for a linked static shared cryptographic library or provider to a cryptographic adapter configured to emulate responses provided by the linked static shared cryptographic library. A cryptographic adapter is also described and is configured to generate abstracted versions of the cryptographic API calls and pass them on to the reconfigurable cryptographic provider, which selects and implements an appropriate cipher solution based on the abstracted cryptographic API calls.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure are generally directed to facilitating user control of high-pressure flow of liquid for oral irrigation carried out as part of personal dental care. Such control over high-pressure flow may reduce the likelihood of errant spray of liquid outside of the user's mouth (e.g., onto mirrors, countertop surfaces, or the user's clothes). Such improved control over errant spraying may reduce the potential for frustration and, thus, may promote maintaining oral irrigation as part of a personal dental care routine. Further, or instead, through facilitating user control of high-pressure flow of liquid, the devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure may improve the effectiveness and efficiency of self-administered oral irrigation in promoting a user's oral hygiene.

Abstract: Circuitry including cache storage and control circuitry is provided. The cache storage includes an array of random access memory storage elements, and is configured to store data in multiple cache sectors, each cache sector including a number of cache storage data units. The control circuitry is configured to control access to the cache storage including, for example, accessing the cache storage data units in the cache sectors. After accessing a cache storage data unit in a cache sector, the energy requirement and/or latency for the next access to a cache storage data unit in the same sector is lower than the energy requirement and/or latency for the next access to a cache storage data unit in a different same sector.

Abstract: Techniques for configuring test operations on a per-module basis are disclosed. A system receives a command for configuring, on a per-module basis, test operations recited in a set of module code corresponding to a particular module of a plurality of modules in a module system. The module system specifies accessibility of each module in the plurality of modules to other modules in the plurality of modules. The system stores configuration information based on the command and configures a test operation included in an element of the particular module based on the stored configuration information. Configuring the test operation includes one of: (a) enabling the test operation without affecting other code recited in-line with the test operation in the element of the particular module; or (b) disabling the test operation without affecting other code recited in-line with the test operation in the element of the particular module.

Abstract: A collaboration platform provides a collaboration user interface (“UI”) through which a user can request a recommendation of an artificial intelligence (“AI”) model for performing entity extraction on documents in a document library maintained by the collaboration platform. In response to receiving such a request, the collaboration platform can select candidate documents from the documents in the library and process the candidate documents using AI models configured to extract entities from the one or more documents. The collaboration platform can then select one of the AI models based on the processing. The collaboration platform can also provide functionality for performing automated document tagging using term sets on documents maintained by the collaboration platform.

Abstract: The present disclosure advantageously provides a system cache and a method for storing coherent data and non-coherent data in a system cache. A transaction is received from a source in a system, the transaction including at least a memory address, the source having a location in a coherent domain or a non-coherent domain of the system, the coherent domain including shareable data and the non-coherent domain including non-shareable data. Whether the memory address is stored in a cache line is determined, and, when the memory address is not determined to be stored in a cache line, a cache line is allocated to the transaction including setting a state bit of the allocated cache line based on the source location to indicate whether shareable or non-shareable data is stored in the allocated cache line, and the transaction is processed.
