Abstract: A presence or an absence of an occupant is detected, and an occupancy sensor signal is generated representative of an active state in which the presence of the occupant is detected, and an inactive state in which the absence of the occupant is detected. An ambient light sensor detects the ambient light level and generates an ambient light sensor signal representative of the ambient light level. Dimmable illumination is generated at a first dimming level, based on the ambient light level, corresponding to the active state and a second dimming level corresponding to the inactive state. A transition delay time between an onset of the inactive state and a transition between the first dimming level and the second dimming level may be controlled. The first dimming level, the second dimming level, and/or the transition delay time may be variably set or controlled locally or via a remote device.

Abstract: A computerized method is provided for automatically authorizing an access request from a user to perform a task with respect to a computing application of an application lifecycle management (ALM) system. The computerized method includes receiving, by a computing device, the access request from the user to perform the task with respect to the application in the ALM system and calculating, by the computing device, a risk score associated with the access request. Calculating the risk score includes determining a plurality of factors including: (i) at least one factor associated with the application indicative of an importance level of the application and (ii) at least one factor characterizing technical experience of the user, and computing the risk score as a weighted sum of the plurality of factors. The method further includes determining, by the computing device, whether to authorize the user access request based on the risk score.

Abstract: A system and method for data replication is provided. A host synchronously replicates data between a first local storage device and a second local storage device, the first local storage device and the second local storage device being coupled to the host. Data is then asynchronously replicated from the first local storage device and the second local storage device to at least one remote storage device. In an embodiment, each of the local storage devices may asynchronously replicate data to remote storage devices located at separate sites to provide four site data replication processing. The system described herein provides for advantageous and efficient swapping of control between hosts and storage devices located in different regions in response to disasters and/or other events affecting data storage in a particular region.

The first AL processing unit is dedicated to the first communication interface. Additionally, data is transferred between the first AL processing unit and a second AL processing unit within the communication device via an interface between the first AL processing unit and the second AL processing unit. The first AL processing unit is dedicated to a second communication interface within the communication device.

The first node includes a first network layer associated with a first communication domain. The first communication domain corresponds to the first connection. A second network layer is associated with the first communication domain and a second communication domain. The first communication domain and the second communication domain are different. The first network layer is configured to receive, from the second node, a data packet to be relayed to the third node, in a first mode, forward the data packet to the third node, and in a second mode, selectively provide the data packet to the second network layer. The second network layer is configured to, in the second mode, forward the data packet to the third node.

This objective has been met by a method wherein a water-continuous emulsion is made using a Controlled Deformation Dynamic Mixer or a Cavity Transfer Mixer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to personal care compositions containing non-ionic surfactants and fatty compounds, which have a structured composition to provide rheological properties to these compositions. The compositions can be prepared by applying a Controlled Deformation Dynamic Mixer. By using this mixer, compositions having a relatively high viscosity can be prepared, while the concentration of active compounds is relatively low.

Abstract: A message is received at a communication interface device coupled to a first media type. A second layer (e.g., a dynamic link layer (DLL)) on the communication interface device communicates with an abstraction layer (AL) regarding relaying of the message. The AL determines whether another communication interface device should relay the message via a second media type. When the AL determines that another communication interface device cannot or should not relay the message, the communication interface device relays the message using relaying functionality provided by the second layer (e.g., the DLL). When the AL determines that another communication interface device should relay the message, the AL forwards the message to the other the communication interface device for relaying via the second media type.
