Abstract: A method can comprise forming a component comprising a first mating surface; coupling the component to an airfoil having a second mating surface and a Field Assisted Sintering Technology (“FAST”) system; heating, via the FAST system, the airfoil and the component; and applying, via the FAST system, a mechanical pressure between the first mating surface and the second mating surface to join the airfoil to the component and form a blade, the component at least partially defining a leading edge of the blade in response to joining the airfoil to the component

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products producing, transporting, and capturing network traffic data are provided. The method includes associating a mirroring policy with a service profile assigned to a service subscriber, the service subscriber identified by a static Internet Protocol address. The method also includes associating a routing policy with the service profile. Upon detecting an active session for the service subscriber, the method includes mirroring traffic data generated as a result of subscriber activity, the mirroring implemented in accordance with the mirroring policy. The method further includes routing the mirrored traffic data through a public network to a central collection facility in accordance with the routing policy.
