Additional techniques are used to allow document use and storage when the content management system is unavailable, and to maintain synchronization between the local cache and the content management system.

Abstract: A content management system enables a central server to connect to remote nodes at client sites. Software modules on the remote node is responsible for making necessary calls to the central server in order to create an index of the relevant data (or metadata) and fetch the appropriate binary information and files for the related metadata. Remote nodes are populated with data from the content management system via crawl/synchronize methods, or alternatively a hard drive of the data is initially configured at headquarters whereby data is saved to prevent trafficking data over a potentially unreliable connection over an extended period of time. The hard drive is then installed at the remote site and synchronized with the software module running in high performance enterprise library (HPEL) mode. The HPEL enabled server is configured to crawl and synchronize all the data and pick up differences in data using differential crawls.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods for specular surface inspection, and particularly to systems and methods for surface inspection comprising inverse synthetic aperture imaging (“ISAI”) and specular surface geometry imaging (“SSGI”). Embodiments may allow an object under inspection, to be observed, imaged and processed while continuing to be in motion. Further, multiple optical input sources may be provided, such that the object does not have to be in full view of all optical sensors at once. Further, multi-stage surface inspection may be provided, wherein an object under inspection may be inspected at multiple stages of an inspection system, such as, for an automotive painting process, inspection at primer, inspection at paint, inspection at final assembly. SSGI imaging modules are also described for carrying out micro-deflectometry.

Abstract: An application provisioning system and method. A server provides an application provisioning service. A user of a client provides a schema defining an application. The application interacts with peripherals coupled to the client and receives input from sensors coupled to the peripherals. The sensor data is provided to the server for processing, including by neural networks. The application includes a workflow defining a finite state machine that traverses states at least partially based on the response to sensor data. The server may provide dynamic reallocation of compute resources to resolve demand for classifier training job requests; use of jurisdictional certificates to define data usage and sharing; and data fusion. Applications include manufacturing verification, medical diagnosis and treatment, genomics and viral detection.
