Abstract: Techniques for providing contextual forensic data based on user activities. A first method includes identifying a user action in user activity data, wherein the user action is a discrete event initiated by a user, wherein the user action is performed with respect to a portion of a system; and correlating the identified user action with at least one system change, wherein the at least one system change is related to the portion of the system, wherein the at least one system change occurred after the user action. A second method includes taking a first snapshot before a user action occurs, wherein the user action is a discrete event initiated by a user, wherein the first snapshot is taken of at least a portion of a system; and taking a second snapshot after the user action occurs, wherein the second snapshot is taken of the at least a portion of the system.

Abstract: A system and method for reassignment of tickets in a live event via network communications for scheduling data transfers between systems. One or more data requesting systems may request access to particular data for one or more tickets to a venue for the live event causing a task to be performed to exchange the particular data between a data accessing system having access to the particular data and a data requesting system requesting access to the particular data. In some embodiments, the communication exchange may be initiated based on a parameter included in the request that the task be performed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for storing a first data object comprising a first set of immutable components, the first data object being associated with a corresponding second data object stored by a remote replication system. A difference is determined between the first set of immutable components of the first data object and a second set of immutable components of the corresponding second data object. A subset of immutable components is identified from the first set of immutable components based on the difference. The subset of immutable components from the first set of immutable components is provided to the remote replication system over a communication network.

Abstract: A foam control composition includes a component (A) and a component (B). Component (A) includes units of the formula (R1O)a(R2O)b(R3O)cR4dR5eR6fSiO[SiR7R8O]x[SiR9(OR10)O]ySi(R1O)a(R2O)b(R3O)cR4dR5eR6f. Component (B) comprises a filler.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-tool or multi-purpose device comprising a counter sink and a depth gauge. In one aspect, the invention provides a method of determining the necessary length of a screw to be implanted into bone. Also provided herein are sterile kits comprising single-use instrumentation for use in orthopedic procedures.

Abstract: Embodiments can enable motion capture cameras to be optimally placed in a set. For achieving this, a virtual set can be generated based on information regarding the set. Movement of a virtual actor or a virtual object may be controlled in the virtual set to simulate movement of the corresponding real actor and real object in the set. Based on such movement, camera aspects and obstructions in the set can be determined. Based on this determination, indication information indicating whether regions in the set may be viewable by one or more cameras placed in the physical set may be obtained. Based on the indication information, it can be determined an optimal placement of the motion capture cameras in the set. In some embodiments, an interface may be provided to show whether the markers attached to the actor can be captured by the motion capture cameras placed in a specific configuration.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for adjusting stereo images includes receiving a video sequence associated with a recorded setting of a stereoscopic camera, the video sequence comprising pairs of left and right images. The method includes processing the pairs of left and right images to reduce influence of a discrepancy between the recorded setting and an actual configuration of the stereoscopic camera.

Abstract: The invention provides an optical measurement system and method for monitoring the condition of a sail, the system comprising: an optical interrogation unit that produces and receives an optical signal; and an optical fibre network that interconnects the interrogation unit with a plurality of optical sensors in communication with the sail, wherein the sensors are mounted onto the sail. The optical system measures parameters of the sail, from which shape, integrity and overall conditions of the sail can be calculated in real-time.

Abstract: A method relating to the calibration of tuneable lasers is described. The method provides for the provision of correct control currents so as to achieve each of desired output frequencies from the laser. The correct currents are determined by forming a matrix of the output characteristics of the laser at specific tuning currents and processing that matrix to determine stable operating points within the matrix.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for compensating variations in tuning efficiency and power of a multi-section tunable laser diode. The invention comprises a means to obtain a set of values for a specific section of the laser diode and a means to normalise the values to compensate the non-linearities in the set of values, hence compensating for variations in the tuning efficiency for that particular section of the laser diode. The invention is advantageous in that it is generic and can be applied to several different types of lasers. A further advantage of the invention is that the mode width can be determined as well as the mode modulation of the tunable laser.
