Abstract: A compact optical mount optimized for stability in physically and thermally dynamic applications is disclosed. An example optical mount apparatus includes a body. The body includes a bore for an optical element, a first opening for a first fastener, and a first flexure arm. Tightening of the first fastener of the optical mount apparatus against the first flexure arm causes a second flexure arm to pivot around a flexure element and increase a size of the bore.

Abstract: New and innovative systems and methods for calibrating and correcting sensors associated with a collaborative robot are disclosed. An example system comprises: at least one robotic arm; a sensor affixed to a location on the robotic arm, wherein the sensor measures force and torque across six degrees of freedom (6DOF); a processor; and memory. The system may receive, from the sensor, sensor input in real-time that indicate a measured force or torque. The system may generate, in real-time, sensor corrections that correspond to offset, linear, and non-linear deviations of the measured force in each sensor axis. The sensor corrections may correspond to offset, linear, and non-linear cross-coupling of the measured force between two or more sensor axes. The sensor corrections may be determined by applying offset, linear, and non nonlinear corrections to each degree of freedom (DOF) from every other DOF.

To improve participation, a user may be associated with a group. Anonymized health data from the users may be aggregated to generate one or more target goals, which may be selected by the group as a target goal. A number of groups may compete against other groups, where the competition may be scored based on progress toward their respective selected goals. The generation of target goals and the group progress toward each selected goal may be based on improvement or maximization of user participation.

Further, the first process event may be detected as associated with a valid upgrade of the application based on the comparison and an application in-guest unit running on the first application host may be notified that the first process event is associated with the valid upgrade based on the detection.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system has host machines forming a cluster. Each host machine runs containers, where each container includes a segment of hardware resources associated with the host machine, a segment of an operating system utilized by the host machine, and at least one application.

A management platform is operative to divide the cluster into container pools, where each container pool includes a sub-set of computation resources in the cluster and has associated container pool metrics including a priority level and computation resource limits. Operational parameters are collected from the host agents. The operational parameters are evaluated in accordance with the container pool metrics.

Abstract: A method and system for updating a collection of software resources in a virtual desktop infrastructure system. Virtual machines associated with sets of virtual disk elements in a hierarchy of disk layers, such as basic, department, or user virtual disks are offered updates for one or more available software resources. Updates available for deployment in the virtual desktop infrastructure system are recorded in a database by a controller server. The controller server takes an inventory of all the virtual machines associated with each disk layer in the hierarchy of disk layers on which to apply the available updates. The controller server applies the one or more updates to the identified virtual machines, and stores the update application results in a database. The controller server may apply the one or more updates to virtual machines associated with descendant disk layers in the hierarchy of disk layers in view of previous applications of the updates.

Abstract: A computing system is configured to use a trampoline to isolate sensitive code in a virtual environment and in other applications. An import table may describe the entry points of a privileged code module or driver that generates privileged code. A system and method loads a shadow kernel to facilitate isolating the linkage between drivers and the rest of the system. The shadow kernel may be a copy of the operating system kernel that does not have the same integral position in the operation of the computing device. The shadow kernel may be used as a template for creating a jump table to redirect more critical privileged resource access requests from specially loaded kernel mode drivers to the PVM. All requests may pass through the PVM, which redirects non-critical functions to the original kernel. Multiple copies of a given driver or code module may be loaded in a given session.
