Abstract: A method of distributing throughput intelligently amongst a plurality of applications residing at a User Equipment (UE) is provided. The method includes receiving, at the UE, recommended bit rate (RBR) information from a network node, the RBR information indicating a throughput value allocated to the UE, allocating a codec rate from the allocated throughput value to at least one voice over internet protocol (VoIP) application from the plurality of applications, and allocating, from remaining throughput value of the allocated throughput value, a bit rate to each of a plurality of non-VoIP applications from the plurality of applications, based on corresponding throughput requirement associated with the plurality of non-VoIP applications.

Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for authenticating a user through a voice assistant device and creating an association between the device and a user account. The request is associated with a network or federated service. The user can use a client device, such as a smartphone, to initiate an authentication flow. A passphrase is provided to the client device can captured by the client device and a voice assistant device. Audio captured by the client device and voice assistant device can be sent to an assistant connection service. The passphrase and an audio signature calculated from the audio can be validated. An association between the user account and the voice assistant device can then be created.

Abstract: Various examples are disclosed for exchanging and acting on detected security events using permissioned blockchain. A unique identifier for a client device is obtained in response to a detected security event being identified. Security event data associated with the detected security event is sent to a plurality of nodes of a blockchain service, where the nodes are associated with a respective one of a plurality of computer security services and are configured to validate the security event data and endorse the security event data in response to predetermined criteria being satisfied. In response to the security event data being validated by the nodes, the security event data is published into the blockchain service as a block that is broadcasted to the nodes, where individual ones of the nodes are configured to store the security event data of the block in a local ledger.

Abstract: The present invention provides apparatuses and methods for filtering queued booking and air waybills in a centralized system. Various embodiments of the invention may reserve bookings from multiple sources and generate air waybills associated with the bookings. The bookings and air waybills may be aggregated in a centralized system and filtered according to several attributes. The integration of a centralized system may allow filtered bookings may be worked on by a user of any facility at any time. As a result, workloads may be distributed between several facilities, thus providing an efficient means for managing bookings and air waybills in a timely manner.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods and systems of implementing a guaranteed SQL insert operation. In one embodiment, the method may include initiating an SQL insert operation for a database, receiving an SQL exception indicating that a failover for the database has occurred, and in response to the SQL exception, caching the SQL insert operation and caching the SQL insert operation as an SQL merge operation. The method further includes determining that a primary key is associated with the SQL insert operation, and in response to determining that a primary key is associated with the SQL insert operation, executing the SQL merge operation.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides process for preparation of azimsulfuron or its salts, isomers, and other derivatives thereof. The process involves treating a compound of formula I, with aqueous acetic acid or formic acid and chlorine gas or sodium hypochlorite in presence of hydrochloric acid in chlorinated solvents such as dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane or with aqueous acetic acid and N-chlorosuccinimide or hydrogen peroxide in presence of hydrochloric acid in aqueous cyclic ether such as tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane to obtain 1-methyl-4-(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-1H-pyrazole-5-sulfonyl chloride; converting the sulfonyl chloride to a sulfonamide and treating the sulfonamide with a phenyl(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl) carbamate to obtain azimsulfuron or its salts, isomers, and other derivatives thereof.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a system, method and technique for dynamic variable discounts is disclosed. The system includes: a shopping module executable by a processing unit to accumulate data corresponding to a shopping event of a consumer; and a discount module executable by a processing unit to evaluate data corresponding to the shopping event and dynamically determine a discount to be applied to at least one item selected by the consumer during the shopping event.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a system, method and technique for an interactive multimedia products platform is disclosed. The system includes: a first unit attachable to an appliance and configured to detect a change in at least one parameter associated with the appliance; and a second unit configured to receive in real time sensor data from the first unit corresponding to the detected parameter and transmit the sensor data in real time over a network to a content provider, the second unit configured to receive multimedia content from the content provider in real time and display the multimedia content in real time on a display device, the multimedia content received from the content provider responsive to the transmitted sensor data.
