Abstract: An apparatus for automating inventory procedures for items stored on shelves in a closed environment includes a mobile mechanical device having a movable appendage including a camera and additional sensory modalities. The camera and additional sensory modalities are used to position the movable appendage to take camera images of the items on the shelves from many different perspectives. Camera vision and the additional sensory modalities can be used to rotate, lower and raise movable appendage to position the appendage over and along the sides of the items on the shelf. The context of the mobile mechanical device is determined and edge AI computing retrieves AI context specific models based on the context. The AI context specific models may be downloaded from a cloud service. The edge AI computing uses the AI context specific models to identify and count the items on the shelf.

Abstract: A method to control a portlet associated with a portal page may include deactivating a selected portlet in response to operating a deactivation feature. The method may also include reactivating the selected portlet in response to operating a reactivation feature. The method may also include freezing a portlet content in the selected portlet in response to deactivating the selected portlet. The method may further include disabling hyperlinks, buttons and other inputs to the selected portlet in response to deactivating the selected portlet. The method may further include reconfiguring a portal server to ensure that a portlet content of a selected portlet cannot be affected while the selected portlet is deactivated.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for graph-based searching for one or more data streams is disclosed. A computer-implemented method comprises extracting a plurality of tuples from one or more data streams. The method further comprises generating a graph for the plurality of tuples in which a node represents a tuple of the plurality of tuples and an edge represents a correlation between the node and another node, and the edge is generated based at least partly on one or more predetermined queries for the one or more data streams. The method further comprises traversing the graph based on the one or more predetermined queries. Accordingly, embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the search speed by use of the graph-based searching for one or more data streams.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for configuration item (CI) status value analysis for multiple performance monitors. In one embodiment of the invention, a multi-CI analysis method can be provided. The method can include weighting different CI status values produced by different performance monitors for a single resource in a monitored computing system and displaying selected ones of the weighted different CI status values according to relevance determined by weight. In one aspect of the embodiment, weighting different CI status values produced by different performance monitors for a single resource in a monitored computing system can include locating the different CI status values for the single resource in a configuration management database (CMDB), identifying the different performance monitors producing the different CI status values in the CMDB and applying weights to the different CI status values according to CI status value characteristics.

Abstract: A mashup page presents link help information for logical links that pass context between widgets on the mashup page.

Abstract: A computer program product for discovering and distributing relevant business information contained in a mashup comprises computer usable program code is configured to interrogate a mashup maker to discover the elements, relationships, and dependencies embodied by a mashup page; assemble this information into a data structure; and make the data structure accessible. A method for updating a configuration management database, where an end user creates a mashup page that embodies the end user's knowledge about the elements and processes required to fulfill a specific task, comprises deriving elements, relationships, and dependencies from the mashup page; creating a data structure representing this information, and communicating this data structure to the configuration management database.

Abstract: A dependency hierarchy of resources can be determined for a dynamic mashup. The dependency hierarchy can specify dependency relationships among a set of resources. A set of views that correspond to the set of resources can be ascertained. For each view, a view template can be determined that is to be applied to that view. The mashup can be dynamically created that includes the views, each of which is configured in accordance with the associated view template. The created mashup can also include content defined by the set of resources that is configured in a manner consistent with the dependency relationships of the dependency hierarchy.
