Abstract: Systems, methods and/or computer program products for managing the temperature of datacenter during a period of malfunction or inoperability of the cooling system responsible for maintaining temperatures within the datacenter. Temperatures of the datacenter's computing systems are monitored by thermal imaging systems and/or sensors. Computing systems are also monitored for how frequently the systems are accessed during a defined period of time and the number of mission critical deployments by each computing system. Collected parameters, including temperature, frequency of access and number of running mission critical applications are imputed into a scoring algorithm which uses the collected parameters and weightings to generate a ranking of computing systems to shutdown sequentially in response to rising temperatures.

Abstract: A system and method for automated video generation for training machine and deep learning algorithms in aviation environments generates photorealistic digital human characters and an aviation environment according to a desired scenario, including fixtures, free objects, lighting and physics configurations, and camera views.

Abstract: A distributed resource may be mapped into a virtual network, where the resource is distributed across a large number of nodes that are uniquely addressable within the distributed resource service's address space. The resource can be represented using a relatively small number of private VIP addresses within the virtual network, while still enabling access to all of the nodes that are uniquely addressable within the address space of the distributed resource service. A resource map may be created that relates the distributed resource service's address space to the virtual network's address space. The resource map may be used by a gateway that facilitates access to a distributed resource by clients. The resource map may also be used to translate packets that are sent from clients within a virtual network into the distributed resource service's address space.

Abstract: A method for determining a cathodic current (such as from a cathodic protection system) in a tubular disposed within a wellbore drilled in a subterranean zone. A electromagnetic tool disposed within the tubular includes an electromagnetic transmitter, an electromagnetic receiver, a helical transmitter coil, and a helical receiver coil. An axis of the helical transmitter coil and an axis of the helical receiver coil are substantially parallel to an axis of the tubular. An electromagnetic field is transmitted by flowing a first electrical current to the helical transmitter coil. During the transmitting, an electromagnetic signal is received by the electromagnetic receiver via the helical receiver coil. A second electrical current is calculated based on the electromagnetic signal received by the electromagnetic receiver. A magnitude of the cathodic current flowing through the tubular is calculated based on a difference between the first electrical current and the second electrical current.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may generate a migration assessment for resources of a computer system. In particular, the apparatus may logically divide topological information to facilitate identification of a resource, components used by the resource, and dependencies. The system further enables users to specify user-defined migration parameters that specify the migration. For instance, the parameters may specify a cost associated with the migration of the component, a license model of the component, a security requirement of the component, a performance of the component, a customization of the component, or requirement of the component. Migration assessments and decisions may be stored to train machine-learned models. For instance, the model may assess whether a parameter will be satisfied by using a certain cloud service and whether substitutes have sufficiently satisfied dependencies based on observed migration assessments and actual migrations.
