Abstract: A configurable logic platform may include a physical interconnect for connecting to a processing system, first and second reconfigurable logic regions, a configuration port for applying configuration data to the first and second reconfigurable logic regions, and a reconfiguration logic function accessible via transactions of the physical interconnect, the reconfiguration logic function providing restricted access to the configuration port from the physical interconnect. The platform may include a first interface function providing an interface to the first reconfigurable logic region and a second interface function providing an interface to the first reconfigurable logic region. The first and second interface functions may allow information to be transmitted over the physical interconnect and prevent the respective reconfigurable logic region from directly accessing the physical interconnect.

Abstract: An improved industrial process includes: receiving in a processor a plurality of data items related to an industrial process, each data item being time stamped so that each data item includes time stamp and industrial process data regarding an industrial process occurring at a time; analyzing the plurality of data items in a processor via a plurality of rules, the analyzing identifying deviations of at least one variable of the plurality of data items from a mean value of the variable; setting a statistical control parameter as an achievable quantity for the at least one variable; identifying the plurality of data items where the at least one variable exceeds the statistical control parameter to define at least one excess; and eliminating the at least one excess by shifting resources or altering the process related to the at least one quantity, the shifting or altering being a function of the analyzing of the plurality of data items.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for using an estimator to produce values for dependent variables of streaming objects based on values of independent variables of the objects. The systems and methods may include continuously tuning the estimator based on any objects received with pre-populated values for the dependent variables.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide an extensible, multi-stage, realtime application program processing load adaptive, manycore data processing architecture shared dynamically among instances of parallelized and pipelined application software programs, according to processing load variations of said programs and their tasks and instances, as well as contractual policies. The invented techniques provide, at the same time, both application software development productivity, through presenting for software a simple, virtual static view of the actually dynamically allocated and assigned processing hardware resources, together with high program runtime performance, through scalable pipelined and parallelized program execution with minimized overhead, as well as high resource efficiency, through adaptively optimized processing resource allocation.

Abstract: The present invention includes: (a) a method for improving data to be processed for bottleneck detection, by cleaning corrupt or outlier data; (b) a method for improved analysis of bottleneck data using a plurality of rules for categorization; and (c) a method for improved display and/or allowing improved user feedback for bottleneck data using multivariate analysis and display. These methods can be used alone, or preferably be combined in whole or in part together to improve performance of an industrial process. A system is also provided.

Abstract: Online user account access control includes adjustable authentication challenge levels based on a level of match between observed attributes of a present login attempt and corresponding recorded attributes for the authentic user for the entered user identifier (UID). Login candidates whose attributes sufficiently closely match the recorded attributes for the entered UID are allowed to select an authentication graphic pattern registered for the UID from a set of alternatives, with the degree of complexity of such selection based authentication increasing according to the degree of difference between the observed attributes of the present login attempt and the corresponding recorded values for the UID, while by default, login candidates may be required to produce the registered authentication graphic pattern from blank slate.
