Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer code product for a data processing system provide feedback to an operator of a vehicle indicating the appropriateness of an attempted actuation of a vehicle control. A current operating state of the vehicle is first identified. Responsive to identifying the current operating state, preferred control actions corresponding to the current operating state are identified. Responsive to receiving a notification of an attempted actuation of the vehicle control, the attempted actuation is compared to the preferred control actions. If the attempted actuation is one of the preferred control actions, an indicator is illuminated with a first color. If the attempted actuation is not one of the preferred control actions, the indicator is illuminated with a second color.

Abstract: A method is present for generating a route for a vehicle. A start point and an end point are identified for the vehicle. A spatial model of terrain encompassing the start point and the end point is identified to form an identified spatial model. The route for the vehicle is generated from the start point to the end point using the spatial model based on a cost to traverse a grid point within a grid to meet a number of criteria for energy management for the vehicle.

Abstract: In a network node, a method and apparatus assemble fixed cell length cells resulting from the segmenting of variable length frames into cells. A finite state machine fetches frame data moves frame data and control block data to the cell and outputs cell data. A counter points to the frame. A multiplexer selects the correct data to form the cell. The finite state machine builds cells corresponding to a frame using a cell pattern applied to these cells using two constraints. The first constraint is a 64 unit cell size with a 6 unit cell header and 10 unit frame header; the second constraint is that the insert and overlay field have to be even. The method replaces a field by a definite value when a frame is modified during the segmenting processing, when a new field is inserted in the frame or when frames are packed into one cell.

Abstract: Detecting inconsistencies proximate a panel splice joint involves trimming a portion of a first panel overlapping a second panel to expose a previously overlapped region of the second panel. The previously overlapped region of the second panel may be inspected to detect any inconsistencies present thereon after trimming the portion.

Abstract: In a computer system divided into multiple separate workload partitions, wherein at least one of the partitions contains multiple applications, and a loopback interface is made available to each partition, a method is provided for routing packets from one application to another application. In one embodiment of the invention, each packet to be routed from one application to another application in the same home partition comprises a first packet, and all other packets comprise second packets. The method comprises the steps of assigning the same pre-specified IP address to each of the first packets, and routing each of the first packets from its home partition to a loopback interface at the IP network processing layer. The method further includes marking the first packets to identify the home partition of each first packet, and directing the marked first packets to a mechanism configured to deliver each first packet only to its home partition, in response to the markings.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for grouping orders. One or more original orders are received. The one or more original orders are grouped using grouping rules to form a set of grouped orders. Upon determining that the set of grouped orders cannot be completely filled, at least one short order is created. The at least one short order is grouped with the set of grouped orders using grouping rules to form a set of consolidated orders.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for identifying positional data for an object moving in an area of interest. Positional data for each camera in a set of cameras associated with the object is retrieved. The positional data identifies a location of each camera in the set of cameras within the area of interest. The object is within an image capture range of each camera in the set of cameras. Metadata describing video data captured by the set of cameras is analyzed using triangulation analytics and the positional data for the set of cameras to identify a location of the object. The metadata is generated in real time as the video data is captured by the set of cameras. The positional data for the object is identified based on locations of the object over a given time interval. The positional data describes motion of the object.

Abstract: A system and method for logging changes to a database table are disclosed. The system comprises an administration tool, table metadata, a history table, and a service engine. The administration tool provides an interface through which a DBA, database programmer, or other user can manage the table metadata and the history table, including the selection of columns within the table for which the system will track changes. In the preferred embodiment, the service engine is a middleware application that tracks changes for the selected columns. The service engine processes all user-requested database operations and adds operations to manage the history table before relaying the request operations to a DBMS. Alternatively or additionally, the service engine may be a wrapper to existing services that the database application provides.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for managing access requests for access to a disk drive. A placement of a set of disk heads tracked and an expected time to process already queued access requests by the disk drive are tracked. In response to receiving the request to access the disk drive at a device driver, a determination is made as to whether the request can be completed within a specified amount of time associated with the request without sending the access request to the disk drive. The request is placed, by the device driver, in a queue for execution if a determination is made that the access request can be completed within the specified amount of time.

Responsive to a decision to request committing the transaction, wherein the transaction comprises writing a publishing object, events are delivered to event stream processing queries, and are executed in parallel with executing of the transaction.

Abstract: Illustrative embodiments disclose managing a charging process of an electric vehicle. Begin by monitoring a set of operational parameters of the charging process during the flow of electricity for one or more interruptions in response to receiving, from an energy transaction execution engine, a request signaling the start of the charging process.
