  • Patent number: 10229028
    Abstract: A system for managing application performance performs a learning phase and a monitoring phase. One embodiment of the learning phase comprises monitoring performance of multiple components of a software system to create first monitored component data for the multiple components and automatically identifying correlation between the components and a performance metric based on the first monitored data. The monitoring phase comprises monitoring performance of the multiple components of the software system to create second monitored component data for the multiple components, using the identified correlation to predict the performance metric, calculating the actual performance metric based on the second monitored component data, and reporting a performance problem if the actual performance metric differs from the predicted performance metric by more than a threshold.

  • Patent number: 10225272
    Abstract: For each event detected during execution of a monitored application comprising a plurality of application components, a determination is made of which of the plurality of application components corresponds to the detected event. Also, a dependency subgroup that includes the application component that corresponds to the detected event is identified, wherein a dependency subgroup indicates dependencies among a subgroup of the plurality of application components. A location within the dependency subgroup of the application component corresponding to the detected event is determined. An order of correction for the application components determined to correspond to detected events are determined based, at least in part, on the determined location. Correction of the application components determined to correspond to detected events are initiated according to the determined order of correction.

  • Publication number: 20190032070
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves the production of Waxy maize. Compositions and methods are provided for knocking out expression of the Waxy (Wx1) gene in maize by making double strand breaks at one or more target sites in an endogenous WX1 encoding sequence. Some methods employ one or more guide polynucleotides and a Cas endonuclease, wherein Cas endonuclease is guided by the one or more guide polynucleotides to recognize and introduce double strand breaks at specific target sites in and around the Wx1 gene. Also provided are compositions and methods for the production of Waxy maize plant cells, plant explants, seeds and grain.

  • Patent number: 10149271
    Abstract: A method of enabling a first wireless information device to access absolute location data in which the first wireless information device does not possess its own absolute location finding system but is instead able to receive, over a wireless network, absolute location data from a second wireless information device that does have its own absolute location finding system. The present invention hence enables wireless information devices to share absolute location data: for example, a mobile telephone with GPS capability can be used as a local “beacon” to broadcast its absolute location to any nearby devices over a personal area wireless network (e.g. a Bluetooth network) so that those nearby devices can use that location data. Hence, a camera with no location finding system of its own could obtain location data from a nearby GPS equipped mobile telephone over a Bluetooth PAN and watermark its images with location data.

  • Patent number: 9839361
    Abstract: Imaging, testing and/or analysis of subjects are facilitated with a capillary-access approach. According to an example embodiment, a capillary is implanted into a specimen and adapted to accept an optical probe to facilitate optical access into the specimen. In some applications, the capillary is implanted for use over time, with one or more different probes being inserted into the capillary at different times, while the capillary is implanted. Certain applications involve capillary implantation over weeks, months or longer. Other applications are directed to the passage of fluid to and/or from a sample via the capillary. Still other applications are directed to the passage of electrical information between the sample and an external arrangement, via an implanted capillary.
