Abstract: Techniques described herein include a system and method for aggregating multiple data streams related to a drone mission event into a single data stream. In this disclosure, a service provider may receive multiple data streams from various data sources in either real time, post facto, or a combination of the two. The data streams may be synchronized and combined using multiplexing techniques. Additionally, one or more observers are provided with the capability to append log entries to the data streams at particular time markers. In some embodiments, the time markers associated with a log entry may be updated at a later time to more accurately reflect events.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a configuration of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that will facilitate extended flight duration. The UAV may have any number of lifting motors. For example, the UAV may include four lifting motors (also known as a quad-copter), eight lifting motors (octo-copter), etc. Likewise, to improve the efficiency of horizontal flight, the UAV also includes a pushing motor and propeller assembly that is oriented at approximately ninety degrees to one or more of the lifting motors. When the UAV is moving horizontally, the pushing motor may be engaged and the pushing propeller will aid in the horizontal propulsion of the UAV.

Abstract: A resource delivery network and method for distributing content in the network is disclosed herein. The network comprises a plurality of servers arranged in tiers and partitioned. Each server includes a resource store with a set of resources for distribution to a successive tier. Updates to each successive tier are provided by a pull-forward client on servers in the tier. This forward propagation mechanism maximizes resource availability at edge servers in the network. Resources transmitted to the edge tier servers may be transformed, combined, and rendered without taxing lower tier servers. Transformation and pre-rendering of data can be performed by low priority CPU tasks at each layer of the system.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a system and method for operating an automated aerial vehicle wherein influences of a ground effect may be utilized for sensing the ground or other surfaces. In various implementations, an operating parameter of the automated aerial vehicle may be monitored to determine when a ground effect is influencing the parameter, which correspondingly indicates a proximity to a surface (e.g., the ground). In various implementations, the ground effect based sensing techniques may be utilized for determining a proximity to the ground, as a backup for a primary sensor system, for determining if a landing location is uneven, etc.

Abstract: Methods and systems for implementing dynamic rate adjustment for interaction monitoring are disclosed. At an entity, the collection of trace information is initiated according to a first sampling rate. The trace information is indicative of interactions between the entity and one or more additional entities. A second sampling rate is determined based at least in part on information external to the entity. The second sampling rate is determined after the collection of the trace information is initiated at the entity according to the first sampling rate. At the entity, the collection of additional trace information is initiated according to the second sampling rate.

Abstract: Methods and systems for implementing test coverage measurement are disclosed. A first set of interactions among a set of production services are determined. The first set of interactions comprises a plurality of service requests between individual ones of the set of production services. A second set of interactions among a set of test services are determined. The second set of interactions comprises a plurality of service requests between individual ones of the set of test services. A test coverage metric is generated. The test coverage metric indicates an amount of the first set of interactions that are covered by the second set of interactions.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a system and method for tracking service requests are described. Embodiments may include call tree generation logic configured to receive multiple request identifiers associated with a respective one of multiple service requests. Each given request identifier may include an origin identifier, a depth value, and a request stack comprising one or more interaction identifiers. The call tree generation logic may also be configured to, based on multiple request identifiers that each include an origin identifier associated with a particular root request, generating a data structure that specifies a hierarchy of services called to fulfill that particular root request. Based on one or more of the interaction identifiers and one or more of the depth values, the generated data structure may specify for each given service of the hierarchy: a parent service that called the given service, and one or more child services called by the given service.

Abstract: Methods and systems for trace backtracking are disclosed. In response to receiving a request from an upstream component at a downstream component, a trace is initiated at the downstream component. A response to the request is sent from the downstream component to the upstream component. The response comprises trace metadata. Trace data is generated at the upstream component in response to receiving the trace metadata at the upstream component. The trace data describes an interaction between the upstream component and the downstream component. A call graph is generated based on the trace data. The call graph comprises a call path between the upstream component and the downstream component.

Abstract: A technology is described for making a decision based on identifying without disclosing the identifying information. The method may include receiving a mapping value that represents identifying information that has been converted into a mapping value. A request for data associated with the identifying information may be made by providing the mapping value as a proxy for the identifying information whereby the data associated with the identifying information may be located using the mapping value and returned to a requesting client or service.
