Example approaches for processing task deployment in adapter devices and accelerators, are described. In an example, a service request is received by an adapter device. The service request is indicative of a service associated with a virtual multi-layer network switch. An accelerator may be integrated to the adapter device or coupled to the adapter device. A set of processing tasks associated with the service is identified based on the service request. A processing task instance corresponding to at least one of the set of processing tasks is deployed in one of the adapter device and the accelerator, based on predefined configuration information. The predefined configuration information includes policies for executing each of the set processing tasks in one of the adapter device and the accelerator.

Various examples of systems and methods are provided for slide processing. In one example, among others, a system for processing microscope slides includes a slide positioner that can adjust a position of a slide and a slide treatment system that can dispense a micro stream of a fluid at a location on the slide when the slide is positioned beneath a jet nozzle of the slide treatment system. The system can include a slide sled that can align a smearing slide with a surface of the slide including a fluid sample is disposed, and support the smearing slide at a predefined angle with respect to the surface of the slide. In another example, a method includes obtaining a slide including a sample disposed on a surface, positioning the slide below to a jet nozzle, and dispensing a micro stream of a fluid onto the sample using the jet nozzle.

An Ethernet transceiver is disclosed. The Ethernet transceiver includes transceiver circuitry to couple to one end of an Ethernet link. The transceiver circuitry includes transmit circuitry to transmit high-speed Ethernet data along the Ethernet link at a first data rate and receiver circuitry. The receiver circuitry includes adaptive filter circuitry and correlator circuitry. The receiver circuitry is responsive to an inline signal to operate in a low-power alert mode with the adaptive filter circuitry disabled and to receive alert signals from the Ethernet link simultaneous with transmission of the Ethernet data by the transmit circuitry. The alert signals are detected by the correlator circuitry and include a sequence of alert intervals exhibiting encoded data at a second data rate less than the first data rate.

Systems, methods, and media for causing an action to be performed on a user device are provided. In some implementations, the systems comprise: a first user device comprising at least one hardware processor that is configured to: detect a second user device in proximity to the first user device; receive a user input indicative of an action to be performed; determine a plurality of candidate devices that are capable of performing the action, wherein the plurality of candidate devices includes the second user device; determine a plurality of device types corresponding to the plurality of candidate devices; determine a plurality of priorities associated with the plurality of candidate devices based at least in part on the plurality of device types; select a target device from the plurality of candidate devices based at least in part on the plurality of priorities; and cause the action to be performed by the target device.

In one example, a plurality of network devices forming an Internet protocol (IP) fabric includes first, second, third, and fourth network devices. The first network device includes a plurality of network interfaces communicatively coupled to at least the third and fourth network devices of the plurality of network devices, which are between the first network device and the second network device. The first network device also includes one or more hardware-based processors configured to determine available bandwidths for the third network device and the fourth network device toward the second network device, determine a ratio between the available bandwidths for the third and fourth network devices, and forward data (e.g., packets or bytes) toward the second network device such that a ratio between amounts of the data forwarded to the third and fourth network devices corresponds to the ratio between the available bandwidths.

A method and an apparatus for managing a network are disclosed. For example, the method collects a plurality of call detail records (CDRs), and organizes one or more parameters of the CDRs in accordance with a plurality of cause codes. The method displays the one or more parameters of the CDRs in a hierarchical representation comprising a plurality of screen displays.

An attendee device in an online conference session views a shared application window in a full screen mode. The attendee device receives data for content being shared by a host device, including at least one application window at a first resolution. The attendee device receives an input to enter a full screen mode for one of the application windows and determines whether displaying that application window at a second resolution for the full screen mode requires the image data to be magnified. When displaying the application window at the second resolution requires magnified image data, the attendee device requests the magnified image data from the meeting server facilitating the conference session. The meeting server provides the magnified image data to the attendee device, and the attendee device displays the application window in full screen mode using the magnified image data.
