Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided to detect error conditions and otherwise monitor the status of request data object and network response assets and related systems to allow for the efficient movement of network resources and other resources in high-volume network environments. In some example implementations, otherwise unrelated request data objects and their related parameters, along with otherwise unrelated network response asset systems are depicted on a single interface such that pairings between request data objects and network response assets, and other status information can be readily viewed. Some example implementations contemplate the use of location data in connection with error detection and remediation. Some example implementations also contemplate the establishment and use of a communication channel between an interface system and a system associated with a request data object and/or a network response asset upon the detection of an error condition.

Abstract: Method and system are provided for user authentication using original and modified images. The method includes receiving an original image for a user, where the original image is a private image that meets certain configured criteria. The method uses a pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model to extract one or more image features of the original image and feeds the extracted image feature into a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) image generator to realistically modify the extracted image feature to generate a modified image. The method authenticates a user based on recognition of a presented original image or a presented modified image.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program are disclosed. A method comprises selecting, from image data associated with an image of a scene, a subset of image data indicative of characteristics of the scene in at least one obscured region in a visual field of a viewer where the visual field is obscured; and displaying at least one viewer support image, generated based on the selected subset of image data, on at least one display screen located in the visual field; whereby the viewer support image is displayed on the display screen such that the viewer support image appears in a predetermined area in the visual field spaced apart from the obscured region in the visual field.

Abstract: A method analyzes applications for modernization. Processor units analyze each application in the applications in isolation from other applications to identify issues in code for the applications and a number of common code components. The processor units create a directed graph structure using the issues identified in the applications and the number of common code components. The directed graph structure includes relationships between the applications, the number of common code components, and the issues identified. The processor units determine a common code component modernization cost for the number of common code components using the directed graph structure. The processor units determine an application modernization cost for a set of the applications using the directed graph structure. The application modernization cost for the set of the applications takes into account the common code component cost for modernizing the number of common code components a single time.

Abstract: A pinch roll delivers a respective rolled product. A control device opens the pinch roll at a respective trigger time and at a respective transport speed of the respective rolled product. The control device determines the respective trigger time and/or the respective transport speed using a model that depends on a coefficient of friction. After opening the pinch roll, a measuring device detects iteratively a position or a derivation in time of the position of the respective rolled product. The detected positions or the detected derivations in time of the position are provided to the control device. The control device in dependency on the positions or the derivations in time of the position updates the coefficient of friction and uses the updated coefficient of friction for determining the respective trigger time and/or the respective transport speed for the next rolled product delivered by the pinch roll.
