Abstract: Route planning for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is disclosed. A map of a region is partitioned into geographic cells, data about flight conditions in each cell is aggregated, and a cost for each cell is calculated based on weighted flight condition factors. A plurality of flight paths from a first point to a second point are determined, and a cost for each flight path is determined by summing the cost of each cell traversed by the flight path. An optimal flight path is selected from the plurality of flight paths in dependence upon the total cost of each flight path. When new information is obtained that affects the cost of the cells the flight path, the cost of the current flight path is recalculated along with the costs of alternative flight paths to determine whether a route should be altered.

In this embodiment, the malware defense controller also implements, in dependence upon a result of a malware detection analysis, a malware defense operation.

Abstract: In a particular embodiment, coordinating an aerial search among unmanned aerial vehicles is disclosed that includes receiving, by a server in a UAV transportation ecosystem, search area data, accessing, by the server, UAV parameters for a type of UAV, determining, by the server in dependence upon the search area data and the UAV parameters, a number of UAVs needed to complete a coordinated aerial search of a search area within a time limit, and partitioning, by the server, the search area into a plurality of partitions, wherein the number of partitions is equal to the number of UAVs.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for fulfilling a request associated with operational aspects of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mission are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, fulfilling a request associated with operational aspects of a UAV mission includes a fulfillment controller presenting to a first set of providers of a plurality of providers, a request for offers to perform a first set of operational aspects of a UAV mission. In this embodiment, the fulfillment controller also includes receiving from each provider of a second set of providers of the plurality of providers, an offer to perform a second set of operational aspects of the first set of operational aspects of the UAV mission. In addition, the fulfillment controller also selects from a first set of offers received from the second set of providers, a first offer to accept.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for automated preflight evaluation of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) configuration are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, automated preflight evaluation of an UAV configuration includes a preflight controller retrieving information about a UAV configuration selected to perform a mission in accordance with one or more mission parameters. In this embodiment, the preflight controller uses the retrieved information to assess an ability of the UAV configuration to perform the mission in accordance with the one or more mission parameters.

Abstract: The described invention consists of system and the computer methods of generating and manipulating value or gift cards which are cryptographically assigned to a person's identity and stored on double entry ledger called block chain. A functional module of the system allows the transfer of such value or gift cards to other persons. The functional module in the system further allows a person owning a card to split it into multiple value or gift cards, merge more than one value or gift cards to a single card, exchange a value or gift card with a specific merchant card, redeem a value or gift card at a store front in exchange for physical or digital good or cash it out in the currency it was issued. Each transaction associated with a customer is cryptographically signed and stored on the block chain.

Abstract: A highly agile low phase noise frequency synthesizer is provided for rapid generation of frequency specific signals. The frequency synthesizer is capable of rapidly generating signals at different output frequencies while maintaining low cross-coupling. Two or more signal generators utilize a reference frequency to generate two or more signals. These signals are limit processed to reduce cross-coupling prior to being presented to a switch. Responsive to a control signal, the switch outputs one of the signals to a frequency modification device, such as a frequency divider or multiplier. Responsive to a control signal, the frequency modification device scales the frequency of the switch output to convert the frequency of the switch output signal to a desired output frequency. By maintaining sufficient frequency separation between the switch input signals cross-coupling and phase noise is minimized and implementation on an integrated circuit may be achieved.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for collecting and surfacing metrics with respect to their classification; and the use of the metrics by a workload manager and other application monitoring tools to provide quality-of-service and workload management. Each request is classified, either by the application server or another process. A request classification identifier (RCID) is associated with each request, and thereafter flows with that request as it is being processed. The RCID value is used by data collectors at various points in the system to aggregate the metrics, and a workload manager collects the metrics. The collected metrics are then processed by a rules engine at the workload manager, which analyzes the metrics and generates adjustment recommendations to provide quality-of-service and workload management.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for providing diagnostic information between an application server (e.g., a WebLogic server), and a virtual machine (VM) (e.g., a JRockit VM). In accordance with an embodiment, the system includes a diagnostic monitoring component adapted to obtain diagnostic data indicative of all available data on an application server, including diagnostic information from one or more application server components running on the application server, obtain diagnostic data from the virtual machine, and persists the diagnostic data obtained from the application server and the virtual machine into a diagnostic data image file. The system further includes a console that provides access to the diagnostic data persisted into the diagnostic image file.

Abstract: In one embodiment, services are not loaded if they are not needed by the user and if no services needed by the user are dependent upon them. In one embodiment, server services are represented as nodes in a graph data structure. Connections between the nodes indicate dependencies between the server services. The graph is sorted to create an ordered list of services which can be used to startup the services. In another embodiment a server services manager reads license files and user inputs and marks the ordered list of services to indicate which services are to startup.
