Abstract: Various embodiments improve the display of data on a computer screen by enabling a user to access data quickly, accurately, and with less effort than required for prior art methods and systems. For example, illustrative embodiments include a set of on-screen jump buttons, each associated with a corresponding set of off-screen data. When a user activates a jump button, the corresponding set of off-screen data is displayed on-screen, without requiring the use to manually scroll through the data. The corresponding set of off-screen data may be, for example, one or more columns of data in a table or spreadsheet, or one or more rows of data in a table or spreadsheet.

A configuration of the programmable logic device includes: a parallel multiplication of blocks of at least two elements of a matrix by at least one input-signal-dependent element of a vector, and an adder tree for multiplication results. Successive blocks of the matrix are temporarily stored in a pipeline and processed sequentially. A target number of blocks and a target adder stage are determined based on a number and/or values of parameters of at least one system equation. Processing of blocks for a current cycle is terminated based on the target number of blocks and the target adder stage being reached.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to preventing unauthorized access to private user information by improving cookie security. Cookie data may be subject to interception and replay attempts by malicious users. In disclosed techniques, a server computing system receives a request from a user device that includes encrypted cookie data and device identification information encrypted using a first key of a key pair generated by the server system. The server system may decrypt encrypted cookie data included with the request using a server encryption key. Based on decrypting the cookie data, the server system may retrieve previously-stored device identification information. The server system may decrypt device identification information received with the request using a second key of the key pair. The server system may compare the decryption result with the previously-stored device identification information and, based on the comparison, determine whether to use the cookie data for the request.

Abstract: A resource allocation interface implemented by a computing system may be implemented on a client instance. The resource allocation interface determines an identity of an entity within an overall multi-layer resource allocation hierarchy. The resource allocation interface may then present resource allocation data on the resource allocation interface commensurate with the identity of the user or the layer of the hierarchy with which the user is associated. The resource allocation interface may receive user inputs to portions of the resource allocation data. In response to receiving user inputs to the portions of the resource allocation data the user has permission to access, the resource allocation interface implements the user customizations based on those user inputs. In this manner, the user may create a new project, request funds for a project, allocate funds, approve requests for funds, customize existing resource allocation plans, and so forth, all within the resource allocation interface.

Abstract: An example method can include choosing a pattern or patterns of network traffic. This pattern can be representative of a certain type of traffic such as an attack. The pattern can be associated with various components of a network and can describe expected behavior of these various components. A system performing this method can then choose a nodes or nodes to generate traffic according to the pattern and send an instruction accordingly. After this synthetic traffic is generated, the system can compare the behavior of the components with the expected behavior. An alert can then be created to notify an administrator or otherwise remedy any problems.
