Abstract: A system and a method to determine a technology used by a user is disclosed. The system receives user data comprising job titles, skills, and job summaries. Further, technology categorization data is generated based on the user data. The technology categorization data comprises technology category and technology subcategory mapped to a user department and a user division. The system further extracts a keyword and a set of buffer keywords from the user data. Subsequently, the system determines a context of the user data based on the set of buffer keywords of the keyword. The technology used by the user may be determined upon comparing the keyword and the context with a predefined pattern sheet. The system validates the technology with the technology categorization data.

Abstract: Disclosed are a fibrinogen solution and a thrombin solution. The fibrinogen solution comprises fibrinogen at a concentration of at least 40 mg/ml, factor XIII, pharmaceutically acceptable additives and water. The dynamic viscosity of the fibrinogen solution measured at 20° C. increases at most by 35% after storing the solution at 20° C. for 30 days. The thrombin solution comprises thrombin, pharmaceutically acceptable additives and water.

Also disclosed is a fibrin sealant kit with a first container comprising the fibrinogen solution and a second container comprising the thrombin solution. Further, methods for preparing a fibrin sealant and methods for treating a wound are disclosed.

Abstract: An example method of upgrading an application in a software-defined data center (SDDC) includes: deploying, by lifecycle management software executing in the SDDC, a second appliance, a first appliance executing services of the application at a first version, the second appliance having services of the application at a second version, the services in the first appliance being active and the services in the second appliance being inactive; setting, by the lifecycle management software, the first and second appliances as a preemptive pair, where the first appliance is protected and the second appliance is unprotected by fault domain management (FDM) software executing in the SDDC; performing, by the lifecycle management software, a switchover to stop the services of the first appliance and start the services of the second appliance; and setting, by the lifecycle management software, the first appliance as unprotected and the second appliance as protected by the FDM software.

Abstract: An apparatus disclosed herein includes memory; computer readable instructions; and programmable circuitry to be programmed by the computer readable instructions to: generate a reclamation recommendation based on a subset of entities eligible for reclamation, the subset of the entities meeting a resource requirement of a failed entity; reconfigure the subset of the entities to reclaim resources of the subset of the entities based on the reclamation recommendation; and execute the failed entity using the reclaimed resources of the subset of the entities.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage configuration attempts for a service following a failure associated with the service according to an implementation. In one example, a management service monitors hosts in a computing environment and identifies a failure associated with a service on a first host. In response to identifying the failure, the management service identifies one or more criteria to initiate an attempt to configure the service based on the type of failure and initiates the attempt to configure the service when the one or more criteria are satisfied. Additional attempts can be initiated by the management service if the initial configuration attempt fails after a timeout interval.

Abstract: A plug-in based framework provides high availability (HA), including fault tolerance, in a distributed system, such as provided by a virtualized computing environment. The framework uses blueprints that define entities to be monitored, failure conditions, failover actions, restoration actions, and other aspects associated with HA. Microservices execute the blueprints, and a load balancer may balance the execution of the blueprints amongst microservices.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for transitioning a supplicant from one virtual local area network (VLAN) to another using a change of authorization (COA) message. This may be accomplished by an authentication server notifying a network device that a host should be granted access to the network, wherein the authentication server authenticates the host using MAC based authentication. Based on this notification and the MAC address of the host, the network device assigns the host to a first VLAN. If the authentication server determines that the host needs to change from the first VLAN to a second VLAN the authentication server generates a COA message, associated with the host, wherein the COA message comprises a VLAN identifier related to the second VLAN. The authentication server transmits the COA message to the network device causing the network device to route traffic to and from the host using the second VLAN.

Abstract: A processor-implemented method and system for detecting objects in a media file using a block based histogram of oriented gradients methodology is described. At least one image representing at least one frame of a video sequence comprising one or more objects of at least one desired object type is received. A region of interest contained in a block of frame is considered. An array containing magnitude and angle values is calculated, normalized for each pixel in the block in the internal memory. The normalized array is aggregated, ported and stored in an external memory. A value or block of values of the aggregated array in the external memory along with the specific feature vector is transferred to the internal memory. Based on a comparison of each value in the aggregated array and the specific feature vector, a desired object type is detected.
