Abstract: An email server sends an email message to a user with an empty container. When the user uses an email client to open the email message, the email client transmits pulls data to be loaded into the empty container from a dynamic content provider. The dynamic content provider determines in real time a set of valid coupon offers for the user and transmits the set to the user in real-time for insertion into the empty container. The dynamic content provider may determine a rank for each of the set of the valid coupon offers, such that the rank is observed when the set of the coupon offers is inserted into the empty container.

Abstract: A hardware and/or software facility to enable emulated storage devices to share data stored on physical storage resources of a storage system. The facility may be implemented on a virtual tape library (VTL) system configured to back up data sets that have a high level of redundancy on multiple virtual tapes. The facility organizes all or a portion of the physical storage resources according to a common store data layout. By enabling emulated storage devices to share data stored on physical storage resources, the facility enables deduplication across the emulated storage devices irrespective of the emulated storage device to which the data is or was originally written, thereby eliminating duplicate data on the physical storage resources and improving the storage consumption of the emulated storage devices on the physical storage resources.

For example, in one implementation, a UE may determine metrics relating to network conditions associated with at least a non-cellular access network. The metrics may include a first metric calculated based on a percentage signal strength determined based on a received signal strength of the non-cellular access network relative to a reference signal strength associated with the non-cellular access network, and a metric relating to a mobility of the UE with respect to network coverage of the non-cellular access network. The UE may route traffic to the non-cellular access network based on the first traffic steering metric and the second traffic steering metric.

Abstract: Solid free-flowing powdered drilling fluid additives compositions having desirable emulsifying, wetting and other performance characteristics are described. Their method of preparation and their use in oil-based drilling fluid compositions are described. The manufacturing process comprises of contacting (spraying or mixing) different types of liquid invert emulsion additives individually at elevated temperature with a blend of inert fillers in specific proportions and of particular particle size in a blender for a specified time. The solid powdered additives thus obtained are controlled pulverized to obtain the final particle size which does not alter the performance of each individual additive. The solid invert emulsion additives obtained are added to drilling fluid compositions yielding drilling muds with improved performance.
