Abstract: A performance monitoring system and method is based on a Detailed Call Record (DCR). A DCR contains records of events occurring in different network domains (14, 20, 40) that are related to a single, specific VoLTE call. The DCR events for each VoLTE call cover all legs of the call, and for each call leg, the relevant events are ordered by time. A DCR also contains basic information to identify the call: the IMS Charging Identifier (ICID), the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) of all involved subscribers, and the start and stop timestamps of the call. A DCR has all the relevant user plane measurement, radio measurement, and control plane data from all the involved domains (14, 20, 40) for all call legs of a VoLTE call, in contrast to prior art systems that focus only on a single subscriber's activities for a given call. The DCR thus provides a complete view of the call, allowing more complete analytics and troubleshooting.

Abstract: An encoded artificial intelligence (AI) behavior specification is received. A data generation configuration specification is received. And a deep neural network configuration specification is received. A training data set based on the data generation configuration specification is generated. An AI behavior deep neural network that conforms to the deep neural network configuration specification is trained using at least a subset of the generated training data. The trained AI behavior deep neural network is provided from a remote AI add-in service to a development environment.

Abstract: A specification of a problem using an artificial intelligence planning language is received. Machine learning features are determined using a computer processor and the specification of the problem. Using a trained machine learning model that is trained to approximate an automated planner and the determined machine learning features, a machine learning model result is determined. An action to perform is determined based on the machine learning model result.

Abstract: One or more sensory inputs of an autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) computer character are received. One or more beliefs of the autonomous AI computer character are determined using a computer processor and one or more goals of the autonomous AI computer character are identified. A machine learning model is used to automatically determine an action of the autonomous AI computer character based at least in part on the one or more sensory inputs, the one or more beliefs, and the one or more goals of the autonomous AI computer character.

Abstract: A system for parallax correction includes a first lens having a first pin extending radially therefrom and a second lens positioned parallel to the first lens. A moving platform has a first slot for accepting the first pin therein. The first slot is angled relative to the lenses to correct for parallax between the first and second lenses. The system can include an actuator for extending and retracting the moving platform towards and away from an object to focus on the object.

Abstract: A system for parallax correction includes a rotatable focus adjuster having a longitudinal axis. A lens retainer is engaged with the focus adjuster. A first lens is housed within the lens retainer aligned with the longitudinal axis. A second lens is positioned parallel to the first lens within the lens retainer. The second lens is configured to move laterally with respect to the first lens to correct for parallax between the first and second lenses.

Abstract: A system for parallax correction includes a housing of a camera having a channel perpendicular to an optical axis of the camera. A lens enclosure is within the housing and includes a tab slideable along the channel. A first lens is positioned within the lens enclosure having a first focal plane array. A second lens is positioned within the lens enclosure having a second focal plane array. The second focal plane array is coupled to a pin disposed within the tab of the housing. The tab is configured to direct the pin to slide perpendicular to the optical axis along the channel to move the second focal plane array laterally with respect to the first focal plane array to correct for parallax between the first and second lenses.

Abstract: A method of content delivery in a content delivery network (CDN), where the CDN is deployed, operated and managed by a content delivery network service provider (CDNSP). The CDN comprises a set of content servers and a domain name system (DNS). For a given content provider, a determination is first made whether the content provider has “cold content” delivery requirements by evaluating one or more factors that include: total content size, size of content objects expected to be served, uniqueness of content, total number of content objects, and a percentage of the total content size that is expected to account for a given percentage of traffic. Upon a determination that the content provider has cold content delivery requirements, a subset of the CDN content servers are configured to implement a set of one or handling rules for managing delivery of the cold content from the CDN content servers.

Abstract: A multi-tiered approach to combating reverse engineering of electronics is disclosed herein. The encapsulant utilized with the optical sensor may be selected based on being substantially being opaque to X-ray inspection. In this way, visible public inspection to gain competitive intelligence may be reduced and operation of the electronics may remain unaffected. Additionally, a thin filament of wire embedded just below the surface of the encapsulant could be used as an electronic tripwire in response to being severed and/or dissolved by the reverse engineering strong solvents and acids.

Abstract: An optical assembly includes a lens mount. The lens mount includes a lens mount body with a threaded lens aperture extending axially therethrough. A ring extends from the lens mount body. The ring defines a lens locking aperture therethrough that is spaced axially apart from the lens aperture and is aligned with the lens aperture. The lens aperture and lens locking aperture are both threaded. A lens element is threaded into the lens aperture and lens locking aperture. A lock operatively connects the lens mount body to the ring for locking the lens element by flexure of the ring relative to the lens aperture.
