  • Patent number: 11924049
    Abstract: A method for detecting anomalies in one or more network performance metrics stream for one or more monitored object comprising using a discrete window on the stream to extract a motif from said stream for a first of said network performance metric for a first of said monitored object. Maintaining an abnormal and a normal cluster center of historical time series for said first network performance metric for said first monitored object. Classifying said motif based on a distance between said new time series and said abnormal and said normal cluster center. Determining whether an anomaly for said motif occurred based on said distance and a predetermined decision boundary.

  • Publication number: 20170004171
    Abstract: A method for defining and constraining the behavior of a shared, mobile content management system is disclosed. The method includes providing an admin console for defining, modifying, and managing declarative policies. Declarative policies are defined based on an XML policy model. The XML policy model dictates the policies that can be expressed by the admin console. The defined declarative policies are enacted without requiring the content management system to be restarted, reconfigured, or re-implemented. An XML-based policy wizard definition language is provided to define policy wizards in the admin console that guide an administrator through the steps of creating and editing the policies. Additionally, at least one policy repository based on LDAP is provided. The at least one policy repository has an interface and is adapted to store a plurality of declarative policies. The policy repository has scalable and distributed capabilities.

  • Publication number: 20120131487
    Abstract: The claimed system and method is directed to the extraction, scoring, visualization and display of employment-related data, particularly data typically found in a resume or curriculum vitae seeking professional employment. The curriculum vitae dashboard and scorecard streamlines the graphical presentation of professional experience data. The holistic approach creates an overview of qualifications and experiences, allowing one section to influence another. A visual high-level summary of professional, academic and personal accomplishments allows a unique presentation for each candidate while providing a scalable solution for reviewing a large volume of applicants. The system and method allow a candidate to leverage self-defined quantifiable metrics including skills, experience and chronology in a variety of visual displays as determined by the user.

  • Publication number: 20070161965
    Abstract: A medical vacuum aspiration device includes an aspiration cylinder and a valve. The valve includes a removable fluid conduit, a valve housing having at least first and second housing portions, means for removably attaching the first housing portion to the second housing portion, and an actuator. The removable fluid conduit has a first end for attaching to a cannula and a second end for attaching to the aspiration cylinder. The first and second housing portions may define a cavity for removably holding at least a portion of the fluid conduit. The actuator is coupled to the valve housing and selectively compresses a portion of the fluid conduit to open and close a fluid path defined by the fluid conduit.
