Abstract: Systems and methods of service enhancement in a Software Defined Networking (SDN) network include performing an evaluation of one or more services in the SDN network for service enhancements; performing a scoring of the service enhancements of the one or more services; and causing implementation of at least one of the service enhancements in the SDN network. The evaluation can be based on temporarily implementing the service enhancements and measuring a benefit thereof. The evaluation can also be based on estimating the service enhancements based on historical measurements from the SDN network.

Abstract: The invention provides an associative polymer, a powder, and a process for making a powder comprising, networking one or more associative polymer(s) and one or more optional surfactant(s) to form a wet gel, and forming a powder from the wet gel, wherein the associative polymer(s) have a weight average molecular weight of from about 10 kDa to about 2,000 kDa.

Abstract: A method for mitigating network attacks includes receiving traffic status information from sentries distributed in a network, and analyzing the traffic status information to detect an attack on the network. In response to the attack, an isolated network slice is created. For the isolated network slice, a deceptive network resource is created in isolated network slice. The method further includes transmitting instructions to route malicious traffic to the deceptive network resource.

Abstract: Systems and methods for service enhancement discovery in a Software Defined Networking (SDN) network include obtaining network measurements for one or more candidate services in the network; utilizing the network measurements to determine one or more service enhancements for the one or more candidate services; determining a cost and a benefit for each of the service enhancements for the one or more candidate services; and providing the service enhancements for the one or more candidate services based on associated cost and associated benefit of each of the service enhancements.

Abstract: An original UI configuration is formed by a combination of a first user interface structural component portion, a first user interface style code portion, and a first behavioral code portion. When a variation of the first UI feature or a new feature is to be implemented, a second UI configuration is deployed, where the second UI configuration is formed by a second user interface structural component portion, a second user interface style code portion, and a second behavioral code portion. The second UI configuration implements a variation of the first UI feature. Embodiments deploy a third UI configuration formed by the second user interface structural component portion, a third user interface style code portion, and the second behavioral code portion. The third UI configuration emulates the original UI configuration using the second behavioral code portion. The third configuration or the second configuration can be enabled based on a software switch.

Abstract: Electrical circuit assemblies flood coated with polymeric flood coat compositions as described or exemplified herein are provided. The flood coat composition is characterized as having a sufficient gel time and thixotropic index as to substantially cover or encapsulate the electrical circuit assembly as a fixed mass upon cure such that the thickness of the polymeric coating on surfaces horizontal to the assembly is from 20 mils to 75 mils, and the thickness on surfaces vertical to the assembly is from 4 mils to 20 mils. Such flood coated assemblies and devices containing same are advantageous over conventional potting materials or conformal coatings because they require less material thereby reducing weight and cost, and they are able to withstand extreme environmental stresses such as from temperature and/or vibrations.

Abstract: Formulated resin systems containing polymeric flood coat compositions are provided herein and characterized by having an initial mix thixotropic index from 1 to 5, and a gel time from 5 to 15 minutes such that when cured the compositions provide a Shore hardness from 15 A to 90 A, a thickness on horizontal surfaces from 20 mils to 75 mils, and a thickness on vertical surfaces from 4 mils to 20 mils. Electronic circuit assemblies flood coated with such formulated resin systems, and methods for protecting and supporting said assemblies, are also provided.

Abstract: The disclosure presents a system, method, and computer readable medium for computing network latencies. Network devices using flow processors create network traffic summary information in the form of flow records. A harvester may gather, process, and analyze flow records to find matching flows. Using matching flows, a harvester computes the latency, either one-way or round-trip, between two devices on the network. This information may be exported or stored on other devices on the network. The teachings of the present disclosure enable wide network coverage through the use of existing network traffic summary records. Further, the present disclosure mitigates network slowdowns associated with monitoring equipment. The present disclosure also reduces or eliminates the need for clock synchronization between devices on the network.

Abstract: A multi-part polyurethane composition is composed of a first part comprising a polyurethane prepolymer composition and a second part comprising a polyol having a hydroxyl functionality of 4 to 6, and a desiccant. The composition further comprises a plasticizer, wherein the plasticizer can be present in any one or more of the parts. A polyurethane is formed by mixing and curing the composition. The composition can be used as an adhesive for separatory devices, in particular for potting hollow fibers.
