Abstract: According to examples, a host device may be instructed to pre-spawn a number of first host processes and a number of second host processes, in which the number of first host processes and the number of second host processes are defined in a first scaling constraint and are each greater than or equal to one. The host device may pre-spawn the second host processes in one or more computing nodes through identification of a host process of the first host processes that is unbound from a client session, termination of the identified host process, and pre-spawning of a second host process that provides a second version of the service based on the termination. The host device may also decrease the number of first host processes and increase the number of second host processes in the one or more computing nodes as defined in a second scaling constraint.

Abstract: An Asset Management System and a method for managing a fleet of assets is provided. The system is capable of determining use states and high-use periods of a fleet of mobile workstations. Use states are determined by sensors resident on mobile workstations, the sensors operable to detect the occurrence of a specified event. The Asset Management System is able to interpret data sent by the sensors and determine a type of use and use state for each mobile workstation based on the data or lack of data sent by the sensors. The Asset Management System is operable to determine periods of high-use across the fleet of mobile workstations. The Asset Management System is also operable to determine a return-on-investment level of each mobile workstation in the fleet and generate a heat map based on those levels.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to facilitate matching of names for same media content are disclosed. Example methods include analyzing first data associated with first media content and, when a program name/identifier and/or episode name/identifier is not identified in the first data, supplementing the data with second data to form third data and processing the third data with respect to fourth data associated with second media content and calculating a composite match score including a program match score and an episode match score based on processing the third data with respect to the fourth data. When the first media content is determined to match the second media content based on the processing of the third data with respect to the fourth data and a comparison of the composite match score to a threshold is satisfied, a normalized media name is generated for the first media content and the second media content.

Abstract: In some examples, an apparatus for mesh processing includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry receives a first mesh frame with polygons representing a surface of an object, and determining that the first mesh frame is a non manifold type mesh in response to one or more singularity components in the first mesh frame. The processing circuitry converts the first mesh frame to a second mesh frame that is a manifold type mesh. The first mesh frame has first boundary loops that respectively correspond to second boundary loops in the second mesh frame. The processing circuitry detects the second boundary loops in the second mesh frame, and determines the first boundary loops in the first mesh frame according to the second boundary loops in the second mesh frame.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for power factor adjustment in a waveguide circuit or a transmission line circuit. In this invention, it is shown that, in a waveguide circuit or a transmission line circuit, the power supplied by the source and the impedance can be adjusted by controlling the amount of the phase change of the signal when it propagates through the (equivalent) transmission line once the medium, the structure, and the load of the waveguide circuit or the transmission line circuit are chosen. It is also shown that, by choosing an appropriate frequency, transmission line, and load, one can achieve the negative power factor of the (equivalent) transmission line circuit, and also make the power delivered from the source be lesser than that consumed at the load.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, devices, and machine-readable mediums which provide for sidebar communication threads forked from, or related to, a principal thread. Messages in the sidebar communication thread may include a history of the principal thread, including one or more messages from the principal thread, and may include a proposed principal thread message that is the subject of the sidebar thread discussion. The sidebar thread may also include sidebar thread messages that carries the conversation of the sidebar thread participants. Once a termination condition is reached for the sidebar thread, the sidebar thread terminates and either the proposed principal thread message (as potentially modified by participants of the sidebar thread) becomes an accepted principal thread message and it is posted to the principal thread as if it was sent by the sidebar initiator or no message is posted (e.g., the proposed principal thread message is rejected).
