Abstract: Tethered Unmanned Aircraft Antenna utilizing a Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) which may be provided by quadcopter drone (for example) constrained by a tether connected at one end to a maritime or land-based platform, the tether also being used as a RF antenna. The tether is capable of transmitting DC power to the UAS or drone at a desired antenna height and simultaneously supports RF transmission power with the help of a DC power isolation circuit. The tether is desirously lightweight and corona resistant.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of debris mitigation in laser produced plasma EUV light sources. The method describes a class of magnetic field configurations which exhausts debris away from sensitive components of the EUV device. This class contains a large range of configurations that may be suited and tuned to specific application requirements with a high degree of flexibility and can be generated by coils that are located away from the light collection cone.

Abstract: A computing system computes a score that is indicative of quality of first telemetry data for a first virtual machine. The computing system computes the score based upon the first telemetry data for the first virtual machine and second telemetry data for a second virtual machine. The first telemetry data comprises first time-series data that identifies first amounts of a computing resource used by the first virtual machine during several time points within a time window. The second telemetry data comprises second time-series data that identifies second amounts of the computing resource used by the second virtual machine during the several time points within the time window. The computing system assigns a label to the first telemetry data based upon the score computed for the first telemetry data, the label is indicative of the quality of the first telemetry data.

Abstract: Multiple index optical structures, including doublet and triplet lenses, aspheres, torics, atorics, and other types of freeform multiple-index lenses, may be 3D printed as single components from a variety of optical materials having different indices of refraction. 3D-printed Multiple-index lenses may be printed onto other lenses, optical structures, or light emitting structures, or onto components of an electrical optical system to provide color correction and reduced distortions while reducing system complexity by requiring fewer lenses and reducing production costs by reducing the processing power and memory required to maintain system latency. A related method modifies the radiation pattern of an LED assembly by 3D printing optical material directly onto an LED die or an LED emitter bulb.

Abstract: A plug connector for cooperation with a socket connector (9) comprises a plug housing (2) having latch arms (22) with an end lug (29) for cooperation with an appropriate groove (95) in the socket connector (9), and being formed with a pair of split cross ribs (26) forming a gap (26a) therebetween. A CPA member (5) is provided for locking the connectors (1, 9) when mated, and comprises a pair of locking legs (50) and a pair of spring arms (53). The spring arms (53) each has a free end lug (54) and a nose (55) which projects inwardly so that, when the CPA member (5) and the plug connector (1) are in a pre-locked position, the nose (55) takes a short distance (d) to a support surface (20a) of the connector housing (20), and when there is a load well in excess of the mating a force onto the CPA member (5) in this condition, the noses (55) make a stop on the support surface (20a) to keep the CPA member (5) in the pre-locked position.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for encapsulation and re-use of a model. A modeling platform creates a governance contract governing the exportation and modification of elements of the model by other models. In response to a request to import at least one element of the model into a second model, the modeling platform exports the requested at least one element by reference only if the element has a governance setting that allows for exportation. In response to a request to modify at least one imported element of the model in the second model, the modeling platform determines the governance setting for the element. Then, the modeling platform modifies the element by composing the modification in the second model only if the element has a governance setting that allows modification.

Abstract: A non-invasive motion and respiration monitor receives impulses from a subject's movement, heartbeat, and respiration. The raw signal is biased and digitized, and a signal processor applies a Fast Fourier Transform to the signal. The transformed signal is filtered to isolate the component representing heart rate from the component representing respiration. An Inverse Fast Fourier Transform is then applied to the component signals, which are sent to a processor. The processor is programmed to detect irregularities in the respiration and heart rate. If severe irregularities or complete cessation is detected in either signal, a mechanical stimulator is actuated to try to stimulate the subject, and an alarm is sounded to alert a caregiver such as a parent or nurse.

Abstract: The invention, which may be a kind of annotations processor, detects zero or more tagsets turned on or selected at runtime. The annotations adapter reads an abstract unit from a java file, and if an annotation of the abstract unit has a tag that is among the tags of a turned on tagset, then the annotations adapter may generate an artifact showing the influence of the annotation. Such a process may continue until there are no more abstract units to process. Comments or annotations that fail to be tagged with a tag of a selected tagset may, nevertheless, be mentioned with a kind of ‘place-holder’ indicating that such comments exist.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and computer instructions are provided for extending operations of an application in a data processing system. A primary operation is executed. All extended operations of the primary operation are cached and pre and post operation identifiers are identified. For each pre operation identifier, a pre operation instance is created and executed. For each post operation identifier, a post operation instance is created and executed.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions are provided for preserving relationships of mapped views in an object model. A database model, including database tables and views is examined and a foreign key constraint list is derived for the view. A set of objects for an object model is generated from the database model. Based on the derived foreign key list, relationships are generated between objects mapped to the view and objects mapped to the target table of the view's derived foreign key.

Abstract: Computer implemented method, system and computer usable program code for configuring a computing system. A system for configuring a computing system includes a mechanism for creating a model of a computing system, a validator for determining whether there are any errors in the model, and a resolver, responsive to determining that there is at least one error in the model, for determining whether there is at least one resolution for correcting the at least one error. A selector, responsive to determining that there is at least one resolution for correcting the at least one error, selects at least one resolution among the at least one resolution for correcting the at least one error to form at least one selected resolution to correct the at least one error, and applies the at least one selected resolution to the model to form a transformed model. An output outputs the transformed model to a user.
