Abstract: An initial provisioning by a management plane of the SD-WAN is received from a centralized SD-WAN gateway with static path overlay between the network edge device on a local LAN and the centralized SD-WAN gateway. At runtime, intelligent decision are made about which overlay path to select and when for the new flow over a control plane of the SD-WAN, based on the topology of the remote network edge and the local SDWAN policy, and to build the selected overlay path.

Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for executing transactions in a blockchain network. Various aspects may include receiving one or more transactions issued from an account, the account comprising a bond balance. Aspects may also include partitioning the transactions into a set of validators. Aspects may also include producing, at the set of validators, chunks including the transactions. Aspects may also include replicating the chunks to nodes in the blockchain network. Aspects may also include generating, based on receiving at least a threshold of stake signatures from the nodes, blocks that reference the replicated chunks. Aspects may include distributing, from the bond balance, funds to the nodes for including the replicated chunks in the blocks.

Abstract: A light engine mounting system for an AR or VR display. A light engine is housed within an adjustable mount body and projects light along a first direction with respect to the adjustable mount body. A mount housing has a mount housing axis and comprises a cavity configured to receive the adjustable mount body and a first aperture through an exterior of the mount housing that opens into the cavity such that the light engine may project light through the mount housing via the first aperture. The first aperture is spaced from the cavity along the direction of the mount housing axis. The adjustable mount body and the cavity enable the adjustable mount body to rotate within the cavity around a first rotation axis, such that an angle of the first direction can be changed with respect to the mount housing axis.

Abstract: A method of data transmission includes transmitting a magnetic signal that is modulated with the bit stream, the magnetic signal having a nominal frequency and being formed of a high frequency and a low frequency, the nominal frequency being the average frequency of the magnetic signal. The bit stream is modulated onto the magnetic signal by encoding the bit stream into the magnetic signal, where each bit in the bit stream is represented by a transition between adjoining data symbols formed of K repetitions of of a first state or a second state. The first state of the pair of states includes M/2 cycles of the nominal frequency with a signal at the high frequency and M/2 cycles of the nominal frequency with a signal at the low frequency. The second state is complementary to the first state.

Abstract: A line locating system where data encoded onto a locate signal that is transmitted from a transmitter that couples a current onto an underground line and is detected by an above-ground locator, which receives the encoded data. The transmitter encodes data to be transmitted with a bit stream using transitions between adjoining data symbols formed of a first signal having a high frequency and a second signal having a low frequency, the high frequency and the low frequency averaging to a nominal signal of the locate.

Abstract: Data integration and distribution systems. A system includes a graphical user interface (GUI). Weather and market data are collected. A weather symbology including symbol elements linked to segments of the collected weather data and rules for generating weather symbology instructions are stored. The GUI is generated for display on a user device. A weather symbology instruction is determined based on at least one requested symbol element indicated in a weather data request and the rules. A weather forecast dataset is created from among the collected weather data based on the weather symbology instruction. A presentation package including the weather forecast dataset and the collected market data is generated such that the weather forecast dataset is integrated with the collected market data. The presentation package is presented on the GUI and updated concurrent with changes to at least one of the weather data, the market data and user input.

Abstract: A liquid heating appliance including a reservoir including a first and second chambers and a heating arrangement is provided. A mode valve is arranged to selectively allow liquid to flow between the first and second chambers. The appliance operates in a first mode in which the mode valve is closed and only liquid in the first chamber is heated and a second mode in which the mode valve is open and liquid in the first and second chambers is heated. A dispense outlet is moveable between a dispensing position and a non-dispensing position. The dispense outlet is mechanically coupled to the mode valve such that when the dispense outlet is moved into the dispense position, the mechanical coupling closes the mode valve and when the dispense outlet is moved into the non-dispensing position, the mechanical coupling opens the valve.
