Abstract: An exemplary compounding method of controlling a compounding device to prepare an admixture of at least two distinct material sources can include examining material source solutions for incompatibility of the ingredients and operating a first and a second pump to prevent one of the incompatible source solutions from entering a common flow path.

Abstract: A data recorder stores endpoint activity on an ongoing basis as sequences of events that causally relate computer objects such as processes and files. When a security event is detected, an event graph may be generated based on these causal relationships among the computing objects. For a root cause analysis, the event graph may be traversed in a reverse order from the point of an identified security event (e.g., a malware detection event) to preceding computing objects, while applying one or more cause identification rules to identify a root cause of the security event. Once a root cause is identified, the event graph may be traversed forward from the root cause to identify other computing objects that are potentially compromised by the root cause.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products of preparing an audio signal for playback on a monaural playback device A system receives an audio signal including one or more components, the one or more components including sound from one or more audio sources. The system processes the audio signal to create a monaural signal. The processing includes introducing one or more monaural cues into at least one component of the one or more components. The monaural signal maintains a presence of the one or more monaural cues. The system then provides the monaural signal to the monaural playback device or to a storage device. The one or more monaural cues are such that, if the monaural signal is played back to a listener using the monaural playback device, the listener experiences a perceived differentiation in direction of the one or more components and/or the one or more audio sources.

Abstract: A system includes a pre-trigger buffer and a post-trigger buffer for recording entries related to specific network element. Buffer management monitoring circuitry captures entries leading up to a trigger criterion being met in the pre-trigger buffer and entries following the trigger criterion being met in the post-trigger buffer. The trigger criterion may include network element status, such as a threshold queue level; or an event, such as a dropped packet. The pre-trigger buffer may include a circular buffer in which older entries are overwritten by newer entries. Once the trigger condition is met, the pre-trigger buffer contents are held while the post-trigger buffer fills. Once the post-trigger buffer fills, the contents of the buffers may be read.
