Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for securing a computer workload. The method may comprise: receiving a workload; embedding a secure agent into the workload, wherein the secure agent comprises (i) a shim layer located between an application libraries layer of the workload and an operating system service layer and (ii) a security policy repository; and implementing security policies based at least in part on application programming interface (API) calls intercepted by the shim layer.

Abstract: Commissioning a lighting system is disclosed. A user can be provided with a pointing device capable of emitting or returning a signal which can be received by detectors co-located with each fixture in the lighting system. The user can add a fixture to a group by aiming the pointing device at the fixture when the fixture is not assigned to the group, and the user can remove a fixture from a group in the same way when the fixture was previously assigned to the group. Additional user gestures are also disclosed.

Abstract: A lighting controller may optimize a timeout value of a lamp based on the goals of saving energy and providing occupant comfort. The lamp may illuminate a lighting area. The lighting controller may determine a false-negative rate for the lamp from sensor data that represents a frequency at which the lamp is timed out while the lighting area is occupied. The lighting controller may adjust the timeout value of the lamp over time so that the false-negative rate approaches a threshold false-negative rate. The false-negatives and occupancy periods may be detected from spikes in time distributions of motion data. The amount of energy that the lamp would consume at an increased timeout value of the lamp may be determined from motion data stored while the timeout value of the lamp is at an initial timeout value.

Abstract: A method of commissioning a lighting system is disclosed. A user is provided with a pointing device capable of emitting or returning a signal which can be received by detectors co-located with each fixture in the lighting system. The user can add a fixture to a group by aiming the pointing device at the fixture when the fixture is not assigned to the group, and the user can remove a fixture from a group in the same way when the fixture was previously assigned to the group. This commissioning method can be used with a lighting system comprising a central control unit and a plurality of fixtures comprising luminaires, optional control devices, and optional standalone sensors, wherein each fixture includes a co-located sensor capable of receiving the signal emitted by the pointing device, and a central control unit which can communicate bidirectionally with each fixture. Additional user gestures are disclosed together with methods for the central control unit to acknowledge gestures.

Abstract: An apparatus for maintaining networking hardware. One embodiment comprises a graphical user interface having a maintenance menu and a resource tree in an architectural arrangement. The resource tree also has a networking resource. The graphical user interface may further comprise a configuration window which may further comprise a parameter field. The graphical user interface may also further comprise a context sensitive menu associated with the networking resource and/or a global banner window which may span the top of the graphical user interface. In various embodiments the resource tree may be horizontal, vertical and/or on the left hand side of the graphical user interface. Also, a lower level networking resource may be indented beneath a higher level networking resource and the higher level and lower level networking resources may be traced to one another. The networking resource may further comprise an icon and a text field.
