The ionomer includes an ethylene acid copolymer, in which from 15% to 70% of acid groups are neutralized by sodium cation based on the total number of acid groups in the acid copolymer. The ethylene acid copolymer is the polymerized reaction product of: at least 50% by wt. ethylene, from 2 wt. % to 40 wt. % of monocarboxylic acid monomer, and from 0 to 20 wt. % of alkyl acrylate, based on the total wt. % of the monomers present in the ethylene acid copolymer.

Abstract: Systems are provided for generating, modifying and using SBOMs for facilitating risk assessment and threat mitigation for corresponding programs, and particularly for large programming builds. The creation and modification of the SBOMs includes processes for omitting declarations referenced in chunk SBOMs of program chunks incorporated into a final programming build associated with a build SBOM, but which are not actually utilized by the final programming build, as well as processes for adding new declarations for code segments that are not declared in the related chunk SBOMs, even though the code segments are utilized by the final programming build. Systems are also configured to use SBOMs in combination with configuration restriction records to assess and resolve threat events in a manner that can prevent unnecessary remedial actions for threat events that appear to be relevant to one or more files or dependencies incorporated into a program.

Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for conditional scanning of a wireless network by a wireless monitoring system. The method for the wireless monitoring system comprises performing a scan of a wireless network in a first order to identify a plurality of access points (APs), reordering the plurality of APs to form a reordered group of APs based on a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of each AP of the plurality of APs, and scanning the reordered group in a second order different than the first order to identify a candidate AP of the reordered group to roam to.

If the first network device is present, the second network device can be configured to join the network. Other aspects relate to providing services in an environment having multiple service providers.

Abstract: Methods and/or apparatus for reducing or avoiding (IDC) in-device coexistence problems in devices which support multiple communications protocols, e.g., WiFi and LTE, are described. In various embodiments a WiFi AP can request or require devices, e.g., STAs to report IDC information pertinent to the individual device. This is done by sending one or more trigger frames, e.g., as part of a multicast or unicast operation. Alternatively, devices can voluntarily report IDC information. The AP, e.g., WiFi AP, takes the IDC information it receives, e.g., from multiple devices, e.g., STAs, into account when scheduling UL resources to be used by the wireless devices. By taking into consideration the IDC information provided by STAs, IDC conflicts can be avoid even though a WiFi AP is scheduling resources for WiFi communication in devices which are also using resources for another communications standard, e.g., LTE, over which the AP does not have control.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure facilitate managing information technology service level agreements. In some embodiments, the system includes a server that accesses a database storing a support ticket in memory. The support ticket can include a creation time and a service level agreement. The service level agreement can include a maximum response time. The server initiates, via the computer network, responsive to input from a computing device, a chat session associated with the computing device and the support ticket. The initiating can be associated with a time stamp. The server can be configured to determine a compliance with the service level agreement. The compliance can be computed as a difference between the time stamp and the creation time being less than the maximum response time. The server can be configured to generate a notification of the compliance with the service level agreement.

Abstract: When a notification is to be shown, an artificial reality notification system can add the notification to a pre-defined location in the user's field of view (e.g., top, side, or bottom) where it stays as a head leashed virtual object until the user's gaze is direct to the notification. When the user's gaze is directed at the notification, the artificial reality notification system can make the notification world locked, allowing the user to move her head to bring the notification to the center of her field of view, move closer to the notification to make it larger, move around the notification to see aspects from different angles, etc. The notification can be dismissed if the user never directs her gaze at it for a first threshold amount of time or when the user looks away from the world-locked version for a second threshold amount of time.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of providing a recommendation of an admin change (i.e., an admin change recommendation) in an enterprise. A type of intended admin change that an administrator is to perform with regard to an enterprise is determined. The type is cross-referenced with information indicating admin changes made by administrator(s) in environment(s) of enterprise(s) and values of metrics resulting therefrom to identify subsets of the information to which the type corresponds. A causal relationship is inferred between admin change(s) made after an admin change of the type and an increase in value(s) of metric(s) that are indicated by information in the subsets. A recommended admin change is recommended to be performed by the administrator based at least in part on a causal relationship between the recommended admin change and an increase in at least one of the value(s) of at least one of the respective metric(s).
