Abstract: A monitor-mine-manage cycle is described, for example, for managing a data center, a manufacturing process, an engineering process or other processes. In various example, the following steps are performed as a continuous automated loop: receiving raw events from an observed system; monitoring the raw events and transforming them into complex events; mining the complex events and reasoning on results; making a set of proposed actions based on the mining; and managing the observed system by applying one or more of the proposed actions to the system. In various examples, the continuous automated loop proceeds while raw events are continuously received from the observed system and monitored. In some examples an application programming interface is described comprising programming statements which allow a user to implement a monitor-mine-manage loop.

Abstract: A two-step SET pulse may be applied to a phase change material of a phase change memory cell in which a first lower SET pulse is applied to make the phase change material dwell at 600K to incubate nuclei near the maximum nucleation rate and then a second higher SET pulse is immediately applied to make the phase change material dwell at 720K to maximize crystal growth. Moreover, the slope of the falling edge of a RESET pulse applied prior to the two-step SET pulse may be adjusted to increase the number of nuclei (e.g., formed with a steeper falling edge) to increase SET efficiency at the expense of a more stable amorphous phase (e.g., formed with a less steep falling edge) that improves data retention.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for determining when to provide and providing secondary disengage alerts for a vehicle having autonomous and manual driving modes. For instance, while the vehicle is being controlled in the autonomous driving mode, receiving user input at one or more using input devices of the vehicle. In response to receiving the user input, the vehicle may be transitioned from the autonomous driving mode to a manual driving mode and provide a primary disengage alert to an occupant of the vehicle regarding the transition. Whether to provide a secondary disengage alert may be determined based on at least circumstances of the user input. After the transition, the secondary disengage alert may be provided based on the determination.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for automatically operating a high voltage resonance circuit. An embodiment of the system includes one or more coils each coil can be an alternating current (AC) coil or a direct current (DC) coil. An embodiment of the system further includes a microprocessor that issues commands to control amplitude and frequency of pulses of the one or more coils to reach and maintain a resonant condition for water treatment.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate the spoofing of domain name system requests by a customer premise equipment (CPE) device. The CPE device may detect and block a DNS (domain name system) request received from a client device, and the CPE device may generate a DNS response that includes a pre-configured redirect address. The CPE device may block an identified DNS request when the CPE device is unable to retrieve content associated with the DNS request. The CPE device may output the DNS response to the client device from which the DNS request was received, and in response, the client device may output a request on the pre-configured redirect address that is included within the DNS response. The redirect address may direct the client device to an alternate content source.

Abstract: A server kernel processing system receives an input/output (I/O) request from a user mode computing environment. The I/O request is analyzed to determine whether it is a modification request to modify data in a target volume. If so, target analysis logic determines whether the request is for a target volume that is within a first or second protected volume. If the request is to modify data stored in the first protected volume, the request is blocked. If the request is to modify data in a second protected volume, then a whitelist is examined to determine whether the requesting process and user are on the whitelist. If not, the request is also blocked.
