Abstract: A temperature monitoring system includes a semiconductor member mounted onto the surface of an object having a surface whose temperature is to be monitored. The semiconductor member has a temperature-dependent bandgap with an absorption edge that varies with temperature. A light source is configured to illuminate the semiconductor member with monochromatic light. The monochromatic light has a wavelength equal to an absorption edge wavelength that is associated with the absorption edge when the semiconductor member is at a specified temperature. A detector is configured to receive light reflected from the semiconductor member when illuminated with the monochromatic light such that a surface temperature of the object is at the specified temperature when a change in an amount of reflected light that is received indicates that the wavelength of the monochromatic light is equal to the absorption edge wavelength at the specified temperature.

Abstract: Dynamically calculating and re-calculating priority values for a set of microservices that are deployed and run in a containerized environment. Before new priority values are assigned to the microservices, an initial default priority value is assigned to a microservice of interest. When the microservice of interest is deployed and run in the containerized environment, the generated telemetry data is used, in part, as a basis to determine a frequency in which any given microservice is being utilized, and more particularly, the microservice of interest. Based upon the determined frequency, a role for the microservice of interest can be inferred. As a result, this inferred role for the microservice of interest is used to dynamically assign a current priority value for the microservice of interest.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for supporting an online marketplace that facilitates the exchange of digital assets from student athletes for donations from other users. An online marketplace platform may be configured to maintain accounts for student athletes users and to enable donations to the student athlete users from other users. For example, the online marketplace platform may receive donation information from a first user that indicates a payment amount and a second user designated as a recipient. The online marketplace platform may retrieve the payment amount from a payment source corresponding to the first user and increment an account of the second user based on the payment amount. Based on successful retrieval, the online marketplace platform may send a digital asset, such as a non-fungible token (NFT), associated with the second user to the first user.

Abstract: Concepts for controlling interaction with scalable applications are presented. One example comprises associating metadata with an application interface specification of an application. Based on the metadata associated with the application interface specification of the application, configuration of shards for managing traffic of the interaction and/or integration with the application interface is controlled. Traffic is then routed to configured shards.

Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product for migrating a service (e.g. microservice) from using a first application programming interface version to using a second (e.g. newer or updated) application programming interface version. The method may include determining a difference between specifications of the first and second versions of the application programming interface. Historical usage of the first version of the application programming interface by the service may then be analyzed with respect to the difference so as to determine if the service meets the specification of the second version of the application programming interface. Responsive to determining the service meets the specification of the second version of the application programming interface difference, the service may be migrated from using the first version of the application programming interface to using the second version of the application programming interface.

Abstract: An operations management system and related method obtains user activity information representing user interactions with the operations management system responsive to an incident, the incident belonging to a category of incidents. The method represents the user activity information as an itemset. The method further processes the itemset with a mining algorithm to identify one or more items of information frequently accessed for the incident. The method yet further associates the identified one or more items of information with the category of incidents.

Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for coordinating requests actioned at a scalable application is provided. The present invention may include registering metadata regarding response behavior to be applied when actioning a client request to multiple application instances.

Abstract: Provided is a trigger mechanism having a trigger member is pivotally supported by a housing and having a forwardly extending finger portion and an actuation blade portion and a sear fixed in position relative to each other. A hammer pivotally supported inside the housing has a tooth and a disconnector has hook portion. A safety selector movable between safe and fire positions has a first surface that confronts the finger portion to block pivotal movement of the trigger member when in the safe position and a recess that receives the finger portion and allows movement of the trigger member when in the fire position. When the trigger member is pulled, cycling of the firearm action pivots the hammer to engage the tooth with the hook portion and hold the hammer until the trigger member is released to allow the sear to engage the hammer as the hook releases the tooth.

Abstract: An approach for training a recurrent neural network to create a model for anomaly detection in the topology of a network is disclosed. The approach comprises, creating an embedding vector for each resource in the network based on applying an embedding algorithm to each resource of the network. A feature vector is then created for each change to a resource in the network based on one or more properties of the change. A recurrent neural network can thus be trained with the embedding vectors and the feature vectors to create a model for anomaly detection in the topology of the network.

The substrate comprises four slots through the substrate from the build surface to an opposite surface. Lengths of first and second slots are aligned along a first axis. The first and second slots are at opposite sides of the build surface to each other. Lengths of the third and fourth slots are aligned along the second axis. The third and fourth slots are at opposite sides of the build surface to each other. The fasteners fit through respective slots. The lengths of the slots are greater than diameters of portions of the fasteners that are positioned through the slots.

Abstract: Topology information including a plurality of snapshots of a network topology associated with respective points in time for a network can be received by an apparatus. Each snapshot is represented as a graph of nodes each corresponding to a network resource and having a node identifier. The graph for each snapshot is modified by replacing nodes representing network resources having the same role in the network with a single aggregated node. Feature learning is performed based on the modified graphs representing the plurality of snapshots, and determines a feature representation for each node in the modified graphs. An identifier for each node in the plurality of snapshots is associated with the corresponding feature representation for use in the correlation of network resources. Node identifiers for nodes in the same aggregated node in a modified graph are associated with the same feature representation.
