Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for employing remote forensics and data security services over public and private networks by obtaining full access to digital data from the non-transitory computer-readable media of geographically dispersed computing devices such that the entire physical or logical media from each device is fully accessible to one or more user computers over the network. This is achieved via WebSocket technology implemented in point-to-point connection configurations, WebSocket technology implemented in network based digital data software switch configurations, and in combinations thereof. Application of these systems and methods are generally employed for the purpose of conducting remote examinations and remediation efforts upon electronic data comprising non-transitory computer-readable media on a network accessible computing device.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, an automated resource allocation interface may receive, for a plurality of resource allocation categories, a selected sub-category from a set of potential sub-categories. Based on the selected sub-categories, a resource allocation score may be calculated, and the enterprise system may be assigned to a resource allocation level. A back-end application computer server may access electronic records representing a plurality of potential associations and, for each potential association, a set of attribute variables. Based on the set of attribute variables, a present total number of associations may be generated. Based on the assigned resource allocation level and the set of attribute variables, a future change to the total number of associations may be forecast. Based on the forecasted future change to the total number of associations, a predicted performance value associated with the enterprise system may be calculated and transmitted to generate a user interface display.

Abstract: A system for controlling a first machine performing a turn includes a controller configured to identify a desired turn for the first machine. The desired turn is formed by two adjacent traffic lanes. The two traffic lanes include a first traffic lane and a second traffic lane. The controller is further configured to receive information regarding a second machine and determine whether to control the first machine to follow a lane crossing path for performing the desired turn based on the received information. The lane crossing path includes a portion of the first traffic lane and a portion of the second traffic lane such that the first machine changes between the first traffic lane and the second traffic lane to perform the desired turn.

Abstract: A system for analyzing machine performance is disclosed. The system may have one or more processors and a memory. The memory may store instructions that, when executed, enable the one or more processors to identify an event for a machine that includes a desired output parameter value and send a command to a component of the machine. A command value associated with the command may be determined based on the desired output parameter value, one or more machine state parameter values, and a feedback control loop. The instructions may further enable the one or more processors to determine whether the machine requires maintenance by comparing the command value to one or more historical command values each determined based on a historical desired output parameter value and one or more historical machine state parameter values.
