Abstract: In one embodiment, a network device connected to an Internet Protocol (IP) network and a serial network scans an infrastructure of the serial network. Based on the scanning, the network device can determine one or more serial endpoints within the serial network infrastructure, and may then allocate an IP address to each of the one or more serial endpoints. The network device may then map received IP network traffic into serial protocol commands on the serial network for a destination serial endpoint having an allocated IP address corresponding to a destination IP address of the received IP network traffic, and may also bridge data present on the serial network from a sourcing serial endpoint into an IP message on the IP network with an indication of a corresponding allocated IP address of the sourcing serial endpoint, accordingly.

Abstract: A method provided in a network including edge devices to collect data from data producers connected to the edge devices and to communicate with cloud-based prosumers connected with the edge devices. Data analytics tasks are identified. The data analytics tasks are used to process data collected from a data producer among the data producers to produce a result for consumption by one or more of the cloud-based prosumers. For each data analytics task it is determined whether a computational complexity of the data analytics task is less than or equal to a predetermined computational complexity. Each data analytics task determined to have a computational complexity less than or equal to the predetermined computational complexity is assigned to an edge device among the edge devices. Each data analytics task determined to have a computational complexity that exceeds the predetermined computational complexity is assigned to a prosumer among the prosumers.

Abstract: An augmented router that reads and analyzes asserted source and asserted destination of a message, selected message metadata, message data type and other relevant message attributes to determine (i) whether the message is proper to deliver to the asserted destination, (ii) whether the asserted source is, or should be, quarantined and (iii) whether message format should be converted between Web mail and Small Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP). The augmented router optionally accumulates statistics on messages that are forwarded, and on messages that the router declines to forward.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a stream of data packets originated by a visual data source is received at an edge device in a network. The data packets include at least one of video data, image data, and geo spatial data. Next, a visual data attribute is extracted at the edge device from the stream of data packets according to an edge-based extraction algorithm. The extracted visual data attribute is vectorized at the edge device via quantization vectors. The vectorized visual data attribute is then indexed at the edge device in a schema-less database that stores indexed visual data attributes.

Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, thing discovery and configuration for an Internet of Things (IoT) integrated developer environment (IDE) is shown and described. In particular, in one embodiment, a computer operates an IoT IDE that discovers real-world physical devices within a computer network that are available to participate with the IoT IDE. The IoT IDE may then determine a respective functionality of each of the real-world physical devices, and virtually represents the real-world physical devices as selectable options within the IoT IDE for an IoT application, where a respective virtual representation of each of the real-world physical devices is configured within the IoT IDE with the corresponding respective functionality of that real-world physical device. Simulating the IoT application within the IoT IDE then relays input and/or output (I/O) between the IoT IDE and a selected set of real-world physical devices according to their corresponding respective functionality.

Abstract: A system for managing a project that includes multiple tasks and a plurality of workers. Input information includes characterizations based upon a human model, a team model and a product model. Periodic reports, such as one or more of a monthly report, a task plan report, a schedule report, a budget report and a risk management report, are generated and made available for display or further analysis or collection into a customized report template. An extensible database allows searching for information based upon context and upon content. Seven different types of project risks are addressed, including non-availability of required skill mix of workers. The system can be configured to exchange data and results with corresponding portions of similar project analyses, and to provide user-specific access to specified information.

Abstract: Method and system for representing a strong of alpha characters, numeral characters and/or delimiters that allows uniform searching procedures, whether or not numerals and/or delimiters are present in the string. Numerical sub strings, containing only numerals and delimiters, are re characterized in binary format and are separated from, and later recombined with, sub strings containing only alpha characters and delimiters, to provide a modified searchable string in binary format Floating point numbers are easily handled in this approach. Delimiters may be any subset of ASCII characters, as distinguished from numerals and from alpha characters. A numeral character, to be transmitted as a sequence of bits, is optimized by expression in a base (power of 2) requiring the smallest bit count.

Abstract: Method and system for enhancing or extending visual representation of a selected region of a visual image, where visual representation is interfered with or distorted, by supplementing a visual signal with at least one audio signal having one or more audio signal parameters that represent one or more visual image parameters, such as vertical and/or horizontal location of the region; region brightness; dominant wavelength range of the region; change in a parameter value that characterizes the visual image, with respect to a reference parameter value; and time rate of change in a parameter value that characterizes the visual image. Region dimensions can be changed to emphasize change with time of a visual image parameter.

Abstract: Method and system for providing selective access to different portions of a database by different subgroups of database users. Where N users are involved, up to 2N?1 distinguishable access subgroups in a group space can be formed, where no two access subgroups have the same members.
