Abstract: An example network manager receives, from a conductor switch of a switch stack, an active configuration. The network manager determines, based on the active configuration, switch model types for a plurality of switches of the switch stack. The network manager determines, based on the switch model types and the active configuration, a number of ports of the plurality of switches of the switch stack and a current configuration of each port of each switch of the switch stack. The network manager updates a device configuration element of a network management user interface to display the current configuration of each port of each switch of the switch stack in a manner that indicates that the switch stack is a single logical switch.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a framework for obfuscation of a printed circuit board (PCB). In one example, an embodiment provides for generating a plurality of connections interconnecting a plurality of components of the PCB using additive manufacturing, permuting, using a micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) device, a first set of connections interconnecting a first component with a second component in the PCB, integrating the MEMS device into the PCB such that the MEMS device covers a second set of connections from an x-ray probe, probing the PCB using x-ray simulation, and iteratively adjusting the permutation of the first set of connections and the integration of the MEMS device using a result of the x-ray simulation to reduce the detectability of the first and second connections based on the result of the x-ray simulation.

Abstract: A network infrastructure management console configures one or more network switch stacks each comprising a plurality of switches. A monitoring component monitors a current conductor switch of the stack. A user interface (UI) backend component comprises a cache memory and receives a user request to configure the stack. The UI backend component receives from the monitoring component notification of the current conductor and stores in a cache memory segment associated with the current conductor the requested configuration changes. If the current conductor switch of the stack has changed due to a failover event, the configuration changes stored in the cache memory segment associated with the previous current conductor are written to a cache memory segment associated with the new current conductor. A configuration push component receives the configuration changes and transmits the configuration changes to the network switch stack.

The barrier coatings of the invention maintain gas and moisture vapor properties even after repeated flexing of a coated substrate.

Abstract: A central database maintains values for client publishing devices or application processes executing locally with a database server process or remotely on a different device. Updates may be made by receiving, from a publishing application, an update to a statistic value in a database. The update may include: an indication to process the update as an accumulation update to the statistic value, an accumulation value to apply, and an indication of a key value pair to identify the statistic value to update. Upon receipt, a database server process may obtain access control as appropriate, obtain a current value for the update, apply the accumulation value to the current value, and store the result value as the new statistic value. Updates may be made by client publishers without client publishers being aware of a current value of the statistic. The statistic may represent a network wide operational parameter.

Abstract: A system for displaying and collecting biomechanical measurements is provided. The system comprises: an electronic caliper including a bar, two arms slidably mounted on the bar and extending normal therefrom, a display module, and an electronic system housed in the display module and comprising a light emitting diode string of lights, a nine-axis sensor, firmware, a wireless radio, and a power source connector for electronic communication with a power source; and a remote computing device, the wireless radio in communication with the remote computing device. The electronic caliper and method of use thereof is also provided.

Abstract: Examples include re-connecting to a central database with data stored in a table. The table may include a total number of rows. Examples also include sending a message to the central database including a request for a first number of rows out of the total number of rows and receiving from the central database a second number of rows out of the total number of rows. Examples additionally include determining a non-existing row out of the second number of rows in a local table stored in a local cache and inserting the non-existing row into the local table.

Abstract: Networks that support business operations may be a complex combination of computers used by end-users, wired connections, wireless connections, and a multitude of infrastructure devices. Some of the infrastructure devices may be critical components in the operation of the network. Disclosed method and system provide for validation, deployment and rollback of configuration changes to network infrastructure components among other things. A computer device may include a network controller, memory storage for instructions and configuration database. A shadow database may be created to execute in parallel with the primary database service process, the shadow database instance comprising a shadow database control process and associated shadow database configuration information independently updatable from the configuration database information. Change validation may be performed using the shadow database without impact to the run-time configuration database.

Abstract: A computer readable storage medium for determining a normalized mean axis of rotation (MAR) of a cervical spine in a patient is provided, having stored thereon instructions executable by a processor to perform steps of providing a flexion trace and an extension trace of each of cervical spine vertebrae C2 to C7 by detecting a start position, drawing a line concurrently as the pointing device follows the margin from the start position to a finish position and detecting the finish position; superimposing the flexion trace on the extension trace; providing for a user to correct an error in a trace; determining a MAR datum; and normalizing the MAR datum.
