  • Patent number: 10541881
    Abstract: According to one implementation, a network supervision system includes one or more computing platform(s) coupled to multiple nodes of a network including the computing platform(s), the computing platform(s) including a hardware processor and a system memory storing a network participant supervising software code and a network participant registry. The hardware processor executes the network participant supervising software code to detect an anonymously administered node of the network, aggregate system log files of the anonymously administered node, and perform an analysis of the system log files using an unsupervised machine learning algorithm to identify an administrator of the anonymously administered node. The hardware processor further executes the network participant supervising software code to generate a registration record associating the administrator with the anonymously administered node, and update the network participant registry using the registration record.

  • Patent number: 9990198
    Abstract: A method for forwarding data from the store instructions to a corresponding load instruction in an out of order processor. The method includes accessing an incoming sequence of instructions, and of said sequence of instructions, splitting store instructions into a store address instruction and a store data instruction, wherein the store address performs address calculation and fetch, and wherein the store data performs a load of register contents to a memory address. The method further includes, of said sequence of instructions, splitting load instructions into a load address instruction and a load data instruction, wherein the load address performs address calculation and fetch, and wherein the load data performs a load of memory address contents into a register, and reordering the store address and load address instructions earlier and further away from LD/SD the instruction sequence to enable earlier dispatch and execution of the loads and the stores.

  • Publication number: 20160343090
    Abstract: There is provided a computer implemented method for generating a deviation resource flow interface on a computer system display. For planned flows of resources, information is obtained on planned resource transfers between nodes. Similarly, for actual flows of resources, information is obtained on performed transfers of at least some of the same resources between the nodes. This information is aggregated and flow statuses determined for the aggregated resource transfers. A deviation from plan status is assigned to a transfer if it is determined that a planned transfer has not been performed or if it is determined that a performed transfer does not conform to a planned transfer. If it is determined that a performed transfer conforms to a planned transfer, an on-plan flow status is assigned to such transfer.

  • Patent number: 9317485
    Abstract: An electronic device or system and method are provided for selectively normalizing or modifying content element attributes that are defined using absolute values, such as absolute font sizes expressed in length measurements such as points and pixels. A document containing structured content, such as an HTML-formatted email message or webpage, is obtained. When any such content element attributes are included with the document, a determination is made whether those attributes can be changed for that document. The determination may be dependent on the complexity of the structured document. If so, the absolute values are converted to relative values, and the document is subsequently rendered for display.

  • Patent number: 9205999
    Abstract: A particulate loader for transferring particulates. The particulate loader comprises an air-particulates separating chamber for separating the particulates from an air stream caused by suction provided thereto. A suction mechanism is connected to the air-particulates separating chamber for providing the suction thereto by removing air from the air-particulates separating chamber and exhausting the air. A conveying mechanism is connected to the air-particulates separating chamber for conveying the separated particulates from the air-particulates separating chamber to a remote location.
