Abstract: The system and method for correlating network identities and addresses described herein may include a log correlation engine distributed on a network that identifies relationships between certain network identities and Internet Protocol (IP) and Ethernet addresses in the network. In particular, the log correlation engine may analyze various event logs that describe activity in a network to learn relationships between network identities and network addresses and generate alerts in response to discovering changes in the learned relationships. For example, the log correlation engine may identify authentication events described in the logs to map network identities to IP addresses, and may further analyze the logs to map the IP addresses to Ethernet addresses. Thus, the log correlation engine may discover new and changed relationships between the network identities, the IP addresses, and the Ethernet addresses.

A base portion of the body is positioned at the second end. A bobbin extension portion is positioned between the coil support portion and the base portion. The bobbin extension portion includes a second cylinder of a second diameter which is smaller than the first diameter.

Abstract: A system and method for performing an operation based on a contextual command, which operation further comprises interactively searching for information, comprising: receiving an input in a context, returning a result in respect of the received context by at least one of reducing, relaxing, and location handling in respect of the input value, and performing an operation based upon the context of the input criteria. Reducing comprises narrowing the total number of results by their contextual relevance, wherein the narrowing is comprised in dynamically generated real-time interactions. Relaxing further comprises, when an exact result is not found, broadening the input search criteria automatically, and where appropriate, obtaining a result. The location handling further comprises disambiguating addresses and locations where there are conflicts based on an input history, and establishing relationships within addresses based upon the input history.

An engineered stone slab comprises a plurality of coated lumps of composite stone material, wherein at least a portion of the coated lumps comprise an inner core having a first color and an outer layer having a second, different, color.

Abstract: A business data system generates a user interface display showing a business data record. The business data system receives a touch gesture user input to manipulate the business data record to perform an operation, a task or a workflow within the business data system. The business data system performs the operation, task or workflow based on the touch gesture user input.

Abstract: A layout transformation system accesses application metadata that defines a plurality of different structures for displaying components of the application, based upon the particular modality of the display device. The layout transformation system then transforms a user interface display based on the application metadata and based upon the particular modality, and provides the user interface display to the display device for rendering and user interaction.

Abstract: Systems and methods for incentives which involve receiving a contribution from a user or through a value card, wherein the contribution enables the user to be eligible for an incentive upon completing an event; monitoring user activities to detect the occurrence of the event, wherein the event is a socially beneficial task completed by the user; and providing the incentive to the user or the value card associated with the user upon detecting the occurrence of the event. In accordance with some embodiments, the systems and methods may involve calculating at least one emission value for emissions generated by the incentive, wherein the event and incentive are associated with raw activity data; and calculating at least one offset value to offset the emissions generated by the incentive using the at least one emission value for emissions generated by the incentive.

Abstract: Provided is a portable ultraviolet device for exploring a mineral resource. The portable ultraviolet device for exploring the mineral resource may include a body, a visible component, an ultraviolet lamp assembly, and a darkroom component. The visible component is coupled to the body to pass through the body so that a mineral resource disposed at a lower portion of the body is observed from an upper side of the body. The ultraviolet lamp assembly part is coupled to the body to emit ultraviolet rays onto the mineral resource. The darkroom component is coupled to a bottom surface of the body to surround the visible component and the ultraviolet lamp assembly and defines an external light blocking space having an openable inlet in a lower portion of the body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a user-friendly and a user-interactive cellular mobile phone console, allowing a user to interactively replace a malfunctioning cellular mobile phone with a functioning mobile phone, whiles enabling the user to track said malfunctioning cellular mobile through its delivery cycle.

Abstract: An electrolysis cell for generating oxidizing agents, in particular ozone, for treating a liquid comprises a first electrode and a second electrode. The first and the second electrodes are spaced apart from one another by a distance (A). A particulate solid electrolyte is arranged between the first and the second electrodes and can have the liquid flowing through it. The solid electrolyte is arranged in a free space bounded by the first and the second electrodes.

Abstract: A method and system for improving stock exchange equity trade order acknowledgment times including a network appliance (“trade accelerator”) in the sub-network of the trading platforms, having a specialized network flow processor with associated micro-code and a host processor running specialized software. Specialized network appliance software sensitive to trading protocols for communicating between trading platforms and exchange servers detects latency variations in trade order acknowledgments at the exchange and recommends to subscribing trading platforms a least latency trade order path.

Abstract: A system and method for dynamically adapting media having multiple scenarios presented on a media device to a user based on characteristics of the user captured from at least one sensor. During presentation of the media, the at least one sensor captures user characteristics, including, but not limited to, physical characteristics indicative of user interest and/or attentiveness to subject matter of the media being presented. The system determines the interest level of the user based on the captured user characteristics and manages presentation of the media to the user based on determined user interest levels, selecting scenarios to present to the user on user interest levels.
