  • Patent number: 11853448
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for recommending vendors using machine learning models. One example method includes generating a dependency graph based on one or more microservices, computing, for each microservice of the one or more microservices, a complexity score using the dependency graph, identifying a subset of the one or more microservices, wherein each microservice in the subset of the one or more microservices has a complexity score meeting a threshold value, and applying a transactional lock on each microservice in the subset of the one or more microservices.

  • Publication number: 20230367546
    Abstract: Systems and methods for audio output control are disclosed. Audio may be output via a speaker of a communal device associated with a first portion of an environment. A user may provide a user utterance indicating an intent to add another device in a second portion of the environment to the audio-output session, and/or an intent to move the audio-output session from the first device to the second device, and/or an intent to remove a device from an audio-output session. Based on this determined intent, audio-session queues may be associated and dissociated from devices and device states may be altered to effectuate the intent of the user utterance.

  • Patent number: 11736580
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for recommending vendors using machine learning models. One example method includes generating a dependency graph based on one or more microservices in a transaction, wherein each node of the dependency graph corresponds to each microservice of the one or more microservices in the transaction, respectively, generating a first set of features using the dependency graph, predicting a first set of nodes that are likely to fail using a first machine learning model based on the first set of features, generating a second set of features using the dependency graph, predicting a second set of nodes that are likely to fail using a second machine learning model based on the second set of features, and applying one or more fixes to one or more microservices based on a combination of the first set of nodes and the second set of nodes.

  • Patent number: 10474512
    Abstract: Multiple processes of an application (or multiple applications capable of sharing private data) of a mobile device can communicate in a process-safe, secure, and efficient manner via a shared private file system. A first process can produce shared data for a second process to consume via the file system. For example, when the shared data changes, the first process can write a new file to the private file system and rename the new file to a specified file name. When the second process needs the shared data, the second process can evaluate certain metadata of the new file, such as a timestamp or a field comprising a monotonically increasing number. If a stored metadata value associated with the specified file name is less than the metadata value of the new file, the second process can safely retrieve the shared data from the new file.
