Abstract: An ophthalmic lens includes an optic comprising an anterior surface, a posterior surface, and an optical axis. At least one of the anterior surface and the posterior surface has a surface profile including a base curvature and a plurality of morphed sinusoidal phase shift structures. The base curvature may correspond to a base optical power of the ophthalmic lens, and the morphed sinusoidal phase shift structures may be configured to extend depth of focus of the ophthalmic lens at intermediate or near viewing distances.

Abstract: A recoil device is provided for a gun having a barrel with a breech. The device includes a breech nut, a brake assembly, a pneumatic spring and a counter-recoil buffer. The breech nut has first and second adjacent sides. The brake assembly includes a brake cylinder that mounts to the breech nut on the first side. The pneumatic spring mounts to the breech nut on the second side. The counter-recoil buffer attaches to the pneumatic spring. The brake cylinder and the pneumatic spring internally push fluids for recoil absorption and return in response to firing the gun.

Abstract: Issuance of job tokens performed by an authorization computing entity so that authoring authorizations can be shared with other authors. Each of the job tokens represents an authorization to engage in a particular manner in an authoring session in which a declarative document is being authored. That engagement includes sharing one or more authorizations with other possible author. The declarative document is a computer program in the form of a list of declarative statements made in a declarative programming language. The management occurs by evaluating incoming requests to engage in various ways in an authoring session.

Abstract: A device includes a digitizer in communication with a touch sensor and configured to generate touchscreen data indicative of an ink stroke, a processor configured to generate image data for rendering on a display panel, and a display controller configured to receive the image data and to generate pixel control signals for the display panel from the image data. The display controller includes a memory to store frame data derived from the image data by the display controller, and an ink rendering engine configured to generate ink image data from the touchscreen data while the processor resides in a sleep mode. The ink rendering engine is coupled to the memory to store the ink image data in the memory as the frame data such that the pixel control signals direct the display panel to render the ink stroke while the processor remains in the sleep mode.

Abstract: Autocompleting into an invite box for purposes of sharing an executable computing resource such as an application or portion thereof. However, the autocomplete is populated with potential sharees of multiple tenants or with identities that are not registered with the tenant directory of the user. Thus, potentially any potentially sharee worldwide may be populated within the list of potential sharees. As the desired potential sharee comes into view, that potential sharee may be selected, and added to a list of one or more selected sharees. At some point, a control may be selected to allow the executable computing resource to be shared with the selected sharees within the list.

Abstract: In general, techniques are described for steering data traffic for a subscriber session from a network interface of a wireless access gateway to an anchoring one of a plurality of forwarding units of the wireless access gateway using a layer 2 (L2) address of the data traffic. For example, a wireless access gateway for a wireless local area network (WLAN) access network is described as having a decentralized data plane that includes multiple forwarding units for implementing subscriber sessions. Each forwarding unit may present a network interface for sending and receiving network packets and includes packet processing capabilities to enable subscriber data packet processing to perform the functionality of the wireless access gateway. The techniques enable steering data traffic for a given subscriber session to a particular one of the forwarding units of the wireless access gateway using an L2 address of the data traffic.

Abstract: Management of an authoring session in which a declarative document is authored by multiple authoring entities. The declarative document is a computer program that is formed of declarative statements made in a declarative programming language. The management occurs by evaluating incoming requests to engage in various ways in an authoring session. The engagement might include initiating an authoring session, attaching to an existing authoring session, or performing actions (such as read, write, publish, save, share, and so forth). The management uses job tokens that are issued to the multiple authors in a manner that concurrent authoring is possible. Upon receiving the request for engagement in the authoring session, the corresponding job token is evaluated to determine whether the requestor is authored to engage as requested. The engagement is then performed if permitted.

Abstract: Techniques are described for selecting an alternate path for end-to-end service data traffic that traverses multi-homed routers that provide the service to customer networks. For example, as described herein, a router that is a member of a first multi-homing set connected to a layer two (L2) network with one of a plurality of first access links. The router advertises a status of one of the first access links to a second multi-homing set connected to the first multi-homing set with one or more core links. A core link database stores advertised status information for access links of the first and second multi-homing set. Upon a link failure, a path selector selects a core link to transport service data traffic and directs a switch module to switch to active a status a first access links that connects to a router in the first multi-homing set connected to the selected core link.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and products are disclosed for forwarding frames in a computer network using shortest path bridging (‘SPB’). The network includes multiple bridges, and each edge bridge is assigned a unique service virtual local area network (‘VLAN’) identifier. One of the bridges receives a frame for transmission to a destination node. The received frame includes a service VLAN identifier for the ingress bridge through which the frame entered the network and a customer VLAN identifier. The one bridge identifies an SPB forwarding tree in dependence upon the service VLAN identifier. The SPB forwarding tree specifies a shortest route in the network from the ingress bridge through the one bridge to the other bridges in the network. The one bridge then forwards the received frame to the egress bridge without MAC-in-MAC encapsulation in dependence upon the SPB forwarding tree and the customer VLAN identifier.
