Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for creating freely explorable, dynamic and photorealistic virtual environments, reconstructing view dependent holograms in real-time, and inserting 3D virtual objects into 360 camera based navigable environment. A method, may include simultaneously capturing 360 video data and audio data from a plurality of viewpoints within a real-world environment. The method may also include preprocessing and compressing the 360 video data and the audio data into a three-dimensional representation suitable for display. The method may further include rendering a virtual environment of the real-world environment. In addition, the method may include creating a blended virtual environment by combining the captured 360 video data and the audio data with the rendered virtual environment. Further, the method may include displaying the blended virtual environment in a display apparatus of a user.

Abstract: Described herein are enhancements for deploying a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) switch in a computing enclosure. In one implementation, a PCIe switch is coupled to a plurality of hosts and at least one network interface via PCIe lanes. The PCIe switch is configured to exchange communications between the plurality of hosts and the one or more physical network interfaces and emulate, to each host of the plurality of hosts, a physical network interface. The PCIe switch is further configured to receive a communication from a first host of the plurality of hosts directed at a second host in the plurality of hosts using an emulated physical network interface for the first host, and transfer the communication to the second host as though the communication were received at an emulated physical network interface for the second host.

Abstract: Electrical components such as semiconductor die may be mounted in semiconductor packages and embedded within printed circuits. A printed circuit may have a substrate with an opening and may have metal layers. During lamination operations, substrate material such as prepreg may flow and form embedding dielectric material that embeds the semiconductor die within the opening. Double-sided semiconductor dies may be formed by attaching multiple semiconductor dies together using a layer of material such as die attach film. The double-sided semiconductor dies may be embedded within a printed circuit and mounted in semiconductor packages. Wire bond wires may be used to couple one of the semiconductor dies in a double-sided semiconductor die to contacts on a substrate. Wire bond wires may also be used to couple a shield layer to the substrate.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing a diagnostic of a web based client server application. The web based client server application comprising a web application code, a web application framework, a web server, and a web client. The method comprising an act of collecting diagnostic data associated with the execution of the web application code, wherein the method of performing the diagnostic of the web based client server application adapts to a type of the web server. In another embodiment, marking the beginning and/or end of a diagnostic session, during which diagnostic data associated with the execution of the web application code is collected, is performed based on a launch of the web client. In a further embodiment, determining information about the web application code at least partially based on an interaction with the web application framework.

Abstract: A system for displaying performance test information for software. The system includes a graphical user interface that displays information in a format to allow ready identification of performance problems and their causes. The interface includes a timeline view depicting activity levels during the execution of a program under test. Events during a sub-range of times during the program execution may be displayed with information revealing interactions of threads making up the program. Additional information may be displayed in a further display fields, including textual information. Much of the displayed information is represented graphically, allowing a performance engineer to quickly identify areas of the program to investigate further.

Abstract: A method of teaching a robot a desired operating path and a lead-through teach handle assembly are disclosed. A mounting mechanism mounts the entire handle assembly to an arm of the robot. The handle assembly also includes a handle that is supported by the mounting mechanism. A robot operator utilizes the handle assembly and grasps the handle to apply an external force to move the robot arm, or the operator, without the handle assembly, directly holds a tool connected to the robot arm to apply the external force at the tool. The handle assembly is characterized by a universal joint that interconnects the handle and the mounting mechanism and that accommodates orientation changes of the handle relative to the mounting mechanism that result from translational and rotational movement of the robot arm as the user is teaching the robot. The external force applied at the tool is estimated with either a force sensor disposed on the handle assembly or by monitoring the torque of motors used to move the robot.

Abstract: A method of determining contact positions of a robot relative to a workpiece in a workspace of the robot. The method utilizes the contact positions to determine a location of the workpiece in the robot workspace. The method also monitors an integral operating parameter within the robot, such as motor torque, to determine the contact positions of the robot relative to the workpiece and to locate the workpiece.

Abstract: A fire protection means comprises a panel consisting of a honeycomb core, having in cells thereof a fire-extinguishing fluid, and of facing sheets bonded to each face of the core, the panel being arranged so that, in use, it is more rigidly enclosed on one side than the other. On entry of, or impact with, a projectile, the facing sheet on the less rigidly enclosed side of the panel peels away, or otherwise preferentially breaks up or away, consequent upon passage of the projectile and/or the ensuing hydraulic shock, so that the fire-extinguishing fluid is rapidly liberated from a large proportion of the area of the panel and substantially in the preferred direction to suppress or extinguish rapidly any fire caused by entry of the projectile.
