Abstract: An adaptive workload placement and service request routing while ensuring that information relating to a current system state remains confidential. A search index representing a current system state and context is built and a set of service instances is received. The set of service instances are then associated with a set of search queries that are run against the search index, with the running of the set of search queries against the search index producing a set of scored search results. Each scored search result is associated with a service instance. The service instance associated with the highest scored search result is selected, and a service request is routed to the selected service instance.

Abstract: Examples of a bending device to bend fiber optic cables to cause consistent signal attenuations. An example bending device may be a simple non-electronic structure with two pieces slidably attached to each other using a tensioning mechanism (e.g., a spring). The two pieces may define a curved groove with a predetermined radius of curvature. A technician may slide one piece against the tensioning pressure to expose the groove and insert the fiber optic cable. The curved groove bends the fiber optic cable, and the tensioning pressure maintains the bend. In one or more embodiments, one of the two pieces have a second groove defined thereon for bending a fiber optic cable of a different size.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating controlled access by a client device to one or more services provided by a server are disclosed. The client device's access to the services provided by the server may be dynamically controlled by a controller, which may generate instructions to an agent to effectuate the access control.

In some implementations, the controller may generate such instructions based on a status of a session established between the controller and the client device.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and a method for detecting and tracking objects. The method includes permuting an order of frames in a sequence of radar image frames to produce multiple permuted sequences with different frames at a dominant position in a corresponding permuted sequence of radar image frames.

Further a feature map is reconstructed from the temporally enhanced features of each of the frames in the sequence of radar image frames to produce a sequence of feature maps. The method further includes processing a list of feature vectors from each feature map with a second neural network to produce temporally enhanced heatmaps.
