Abstract: A device, system, and method for defending a computer network are described. network communications are received by a traffic filter, which dynamically determines whether the communications include an anomaly (i.e., are “anomalous” communications), or whether the communications are normal, and do not include an anomaly. The traffic filter routes normal communications to the correct device within its network for servicing he service requested by the communications. The traffic filter routes any anomalous communications to a virtual space engine, which is configured to fake a requested service (e.g., to entice deployment of a malicious payload). Anomalous communications are analyzed using an analytical engine, which can dynamically develop rules for handling anomalous communications in-line, and the rules developed by the analytical engine can be employed by the traffic filter against future received communications.

Abstract: A float assembly securable to an elongate conveyance wherein the elongate conveyance defines a longitudinal axis and the float assembly has a roll axis parallel with the longitudinal axis. The float assembly includes a first buoyant float member coupled with the float assembly. The float assembly also has a configuration wherein buoyancy and gravitational forces acting on the float assembly resist rotation of the float assembly about the roll axis when the float assembly is secured to the elongate conveyance and disposed in a body of water. In some embodiments, the float assembly includes a body defining a buoyant pipe support that includes a central float section and two outer float sections disposed laterally outwardly from the central float section. In some embodiments, ballast is used to provide roll axis stability. In yet other embodiments, the float assembly includes a keel member to enhance roll axis stability.

The collar (300) mounts to the walls of the container (210). A sealing wall 240 of the lid (D) cooperates with the gasket 300 to prevent the contents from spilling. The container (210) incorporates powder control features, a container wall junction (50) preferred geometry and congruent scoop (32) enabling convenient access to the contents, a tolerance variation accommodating and strength improving, J-shaped collar (300) and interlocking indentations (290) and flex clips (310), and a pressure controlling portion (350) that prevents unwanted deformation due to pressure differentials.

Abstract: A mechanism for handling unfused multiply-add accrued exception bits includes a processor including a floating point unit, a storage, and exception logic. The floating-point unit may be configured to execute an unfused multiply-accumulate instruction defined with the instruction set architecture (ISA). The unfused multiply-accumulate instruction may include a multiply sub-operation and an accumulate sub-operation. The storage may be configured to maintain floating-point exception state information. The exception logic may be configured to capture the floating-point exception state after completion of the multiply sub-operation and prior to completion of the accumulate sub-operation, for example, and to update the storage to reflect the floating-point exception state.

Abstract: A creation, editing, and display tool for complex diagrams may enable portions of the diagram to be updated without having to update the entire diagram. The tool may use a set of rules that define the positioning and layout of various elements and relationships between elements in the diagram. The update mechanism may enable the rules to be applied to a subset of the diagram and may not update some portions of the diagram, such as those elements outside the viewing area. In some embodiments, a background or low priority process may apply the rules to those portions not updated. The tool may be used for various diagrams, including sequence diagrams and other complex, highly restrained diagram types.

Abstract: A software version management system comprising a host driver and at least one software module. The host driver comprises migration means to start, stop and replace the software modules on a computer system in response to replacement actions.

Abstract: A coupling facility is coupled to one or more other coupling facilities via one or more peer links. The coupling of the facilities enables various functions to be supported, including the duplexing of structures of the coupling facilities. Duplexing is performed on a structure basis, and thus, a coupling facility may include duplexed structures, as well as non-duplexed or simplexed structures.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to suspending execution of a processor thread while monitoring for a write to a specified memory location. An execution subsystem may be configured to perform a load instruction that causes the processor to retrieve data from a specified memory location and atomically begin monitoring for a write to the specified location. The load instruction may be a load-monitor instruction. The execution subsystem may be further configured to perform a wait instruction that causes the processor to suspend execution of a processor thread during at least a portion of an interval specified by the wait instruction and to resume execution of the processor thread at the end of the interval. The wait instruction may be a monitor-wait instruction. The processor may be further configured to resume execution of the processor thread in response to detecting a write to a memory location specified by a previous monitor instruction.

Abstract: The described technology is directed towards having UI elements structured in a hierarchical configuration, in which parent and child UI elements communicate via a virtualization interface. A change to any parent UI element view propagates to each impacted descendant, e.g., each child, any children of that child and so on, whereby each child can manage virtualization and rendering based upon the change. Focus changes among the UI elements are also handled by propagating information via the virtualization interface.

Abstract: The described technology is directed towards asynchronous models that retrieve view-specified data for a view. A view requests a view model to return view-specified data; in turn, the view model makes one or more requests to a data model to retrieve information corresponding to the view-specified data. The data model communicates with a data source such as a web service or a cache to return the requested information to the view model. The view model may assemble/reformat the information into a data format corresponding to the view specified data format for returning to the view. The requests may be asynchronous, with a promise returned in response until the data or information is returned to fulfill the promise.

Abstract: The described technology is directed towards sharing asynchronous (async) tasks between task chains, including in a way that prevents cancellation of lower-level chain entity from cancelling a shared async task. A shared async task is wrapped in multiplexer code that maintains lower-level entity identities as a set of listeners of the shared async task, and when a listener cancels, only removes that listener from the set of listeners so that the shared async task does not cancel as long as one listener remains in the set. Also described is optimization to share an async task, and wrapping tasks in cancel-checking code that prevents the task from running its work if the task is intended to be cancelled but is queued to run before the cancel request is queued to run.

Abstract: The described technology is directed towards a button repeat system that allows different repeat behaviors (e.g., interval times between repeats) to be customized for any view (user interface element) and for any button. A designer specifies an interval set comprising interval times to use in an associated view to repeat a button that is pressed and held. Using global information across views, a button that is pressed and held may continue to repeat as focus changes among views. The repeating may continue without needing to reset to the first interval time of the interval set of each view as focus changes, so that, for example, a rapidly repeating button does not appear to change its repetition rate as focus changes among views.

Abstract: The described technology is directed towards a platform-independent user interface (UI) system. Views and other objects at the platform-independent UI system level perform layout, scrolling, virtualization, styling, data binding via data models and/or readiness. Input handling and output to a display tree are also performed at this level. An abstraction layer processes the display tree into function calls to objects of the underlying platform to render visible output.

Abstract: The described technology is directed towards data-driven navigation, in which a next navigation location depends on variable data associated with an interactive user interface element (rather than a fixed link). The data may be in a hierarchy of data models. A menu contains interactive navigation elements, each bound to a data model. A selected interactive navigation element results in locating a data model associated with the selected element. The data model is used to determine the next navigation location. Also described is hierarchical navigation to one item of a level as well as lateral and peer navigation.
