Abstract: Embodiments presented herein describe a method for processing streams of data of one or more networked computer systems. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an ordered stream of normalized vectors corresponding to information security data obtained from one or more sensors monitoring a computer network is received. A neuro-linguistic model of the information security data is generated by clustering the ordered stream of vectors and assigning a letter to each cluster, outputting an ordered sequence of letters based on a mapping of the ordered stream of normalized vectors to the clusters, building a dictionary of words from of the ordered output of letters, outputting an ordered stream of words based on the ordered output of letters, and generating a plurality of phrases based on the ordered output of words.

Abstract: A technology is described for a certification system for tracking bulk dental material as it becomes a dental restoration. The bulk dental material, such as yttria stabilized zirconia, is used to form multiple different dental restorations. A trackable code is associated with and carried with the bulk dental material. The trackable code is associated with bulk information of the bulk dental material, such as yttria content and source of origin. A plurality of certificates is associated with and carried with the bulk dental material. Each certificate has a different distinguishable code associable with restoration information of a different one of the multiple different dental restorations. Each certificate is separable from the bulk dental material and associable with a different one of the multiple different dental restorations. Each certificate can be a single monolithic certificate with a partition separable into two parts including a dentist part and a patient part.

Abstract: An inhalation system including a metered dose inhaler and a separate computing device. The inhaler includes a flow rate sensor for detecting an inhalation flow through the actuator housing upon patient inhalation and a transmitting unit for transmitting a signal of the at least first switch as well as of the flow rate sensor to the computing device. The computing device generates visual and/or acoustic messages independently of the signals of the at least one switch and the flow rate sensor in order to guide the patient through multiple steps. The computing device further evaluates the use of the inhaler by comparing the transmitted signals of the at least first switch and of the flow rate sensor with the visual and/or acoustic messages. The transmitting unit transmits the signals of the at least first switch and the flow rate sensor to the computing device after the use of the inhaler.

Abstract: A method for noninvasive on-line secondary path modeling for the filtered-X LMS algorithm actively controls periodic noise. The method, based in the frequency domain, uses the concept of linear independence of two equations/two unknowns to arrive at the secondary path estimate. Linear independence of the two equations is achieved by adjusting the control filter output via the filter coefficients prior to the acquisition of the second set of data corresponding to the second equation.
