Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to a method for selecting wireless ridelity (Wi-Fi) channel for mitigating and/or reducing interference, wherein the method may detect the presence of nearby access points and determine the number of access points by an access point detector module. The method may determine the minimum value of received signal strength indicator (RSSI) by the access point detector module, and may determine the congestion information from the nearby devices by a peer congestion observer module. Furthermore, the method may calculate at least one weighted parameter and select a preferred channel to create a hotspot for communication by a channel selector module.

Abstract: A system includes a processor and memory storing instructions that cause the processor to receive, from a client device, inputs defining associations between one or more control objectives and one more policies, wherein the one or more control objectives define one or more functions to be performed to comply with the one or more policies. The processor may map the one or more policies associated with the one or more control objectives to an application environment and receive, from the client device or a different client device, a change set to an application in the application environment, wherein the change set comprises one or more modifications to the application. The processor may then determine whether the change set adheres to the one or more policies and restrict implementation of the change set in response to determining that the change set does not adhere to the one more policies.

Abstract: A processor includes a set associative cache and a cache controller. The cache controller makes an initial association between first and second groups of sampled sets in the cache and first and second cache replacement policies. Follower sets in the cache are initially associated with the more conservative of the two policies. Following cache line insertions in a first epoch, the associations between the groups of sampled sets and cache replacement policies are swapped for the next epoch. If the less conservative policy outperforms the more conservative policy during two consecutive epochs, the follower sets are associated with the less conservative policy for the next epoch. Subsequently, if the more conservative policy outperforms the less conservative policy during any epoch, the follower sets are again associated with the more conservative policy. Performance may be measured based the number of cache misses associated with each policy.

Abstract: Technologies for supporting large pages in hardware prefetchers are described. A processor includes a processor core comprising a pipeline, cache memory and a hardware prefetcher coupled to the processor core and the cache memory. The hardware prefetcher is a region-based hardware prefetcher to track memory regions of a predefined region size that is defined by software to be executed by the processor. The hardware prefetcher is operative to receive incoming requests and track different memory regions of predefined size with multiple streams in a stream table with stream entries. The hardware prefetcher generates a prefetch request and determines whether the prefetch request goes beyond a page boundary of the one memory region. The hardware prefetcher creates a new stream entry to track a successive memory region when the prefetch request goes beyond the page boundary of the one memory region, allowing subsequent prefetch requests to the successive memory region.

Abstract: The electronic digitizers at the scanning center produce a raw file. The raw file (comprising the three-dimensional information) is further processed and an enhanced output file is produced. The enhanced file is sent to a fulfillment center where the actual conversion into a replica physical object takes place. To allow for faster turnaround times, electronic means are used to send the file to the fulfillment center. The replica is enhanced by additional hand carving or sculpting. The physical replica is further enhanced by mounting the replica on structures that enhance the artistic presentation of the replica. The physical replica can be used as a pattern in casting, investment casting, and casting for mass production. Thus, by coordinating disparate technologies (e.g.
