Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for determining a maximum expected response of a reverberant wavefield system to an excitation, where there is uncertainty in both the excitation and the dynamic properties of the system. An exemplary method of characterizing a reverberant response associated with an reverberant subsystem involves determining a first variance associated with an excitation energy exposed to the reverberant subsystem, determining a second variance associated with an effective damping loss factor of the reverberant subsystem, determining a third variance associated with an input modal power acceptance of the reverberant subsystem—and for multiple connected subsystems, determining a fourth variance associated with a coupling loss factor of the coupled subsystems—determining a cumulative variance associated with the reverberant response based on the first variance, the second variance, and the third variance, and displaying an output influenced by the cumulative variance on a display device.

Abstract: A system and method is presented that installs an agent on a computer system that monitors the start of processes by the computer system and that identifies the start of processes that perform container management activities, like starting and stopping container environments. On start of a container manager process, the agent starts a container manager agent that establishes a monitoring connection to the container manager process. The container manager agent monitors activities performed by the container manager process to detect the start of new container environments by the container manager process. On detection of a container start, the container manager agent manipulates the container configuration in a way that a process type specific in-process agent is automatically injected into processes started inside the container.

Abstract: Described is a goal-oriented sensorimotor controller for generating musculoskeletal simulations with neural excitation commands. The controller receives a task-level motion command for motion of a musculoskeletal system, the musculoskeletal system having musculoskeletal dynamics that include steady state tendon forces. The controller then generates, based on the task-level motion command, a set of muscle activations associated with the steady state tendon forces. A set of excitation commands are then generated that minimizes required muscle activations amongst the set of muscle activations to generate motion consistent with the task-level motion command, thereby performing a musculoskeletal simulation.
