Abstract: According to an aspect of the present invention, the dependency information of software components implementing an enterprise application, is used to minimize the down time of the components when applying patches. In an embodiment, all the software components are shut down before applying patches. The patches are then applied and the components are started in a dependency order starting from an independent component. The down time is reduced as a result. According to another aspect, the shutdown also is performed in the reverse of the dependency order. The shutdown and starting are performed using recursive logic.

Abstract: Various embodiments implemented on a mobile communication device leverage the availability of multiple RATs to receive service from a combination of RATs that avoids the potential for inter-RAT coexistence interference. A mobile communication device processor may determine whether there is a likelihood of inter-RAT coexistence interference between a first RAT and a second RAT. In response to determining that there is a likelihood of interference occurring between the first RAT and the second RAT, the device processor may attempt to receive service with the first RAT and a third RAT that will not interfere with the first RAT. The device processor may monitor conditions to recognize when the likelihood of interference no longer exists between the first RAT and the second RAT, and reestablish service with the second RAT when that happens. Thus, the device processor may ensure that service is only acquired with non-interfering RATs.

The process includes placing a glass sheet on a mold having a shaping surface with a desired surface profile for the shaped glass article including a flat area and a bend area, moving a flat area plunger toward the glass sheet to compress the glass sheet, heating a portion of the glass sheet corresponding to an area above the bend area of the mold to a temperature above a forming temperature, and moving a bend area plunger toward the heated glass sheet to compress the heated glass sheet. A temperature of the glass sheet in the area above the bend area of the mold is higher than a temperature of the glass sheet in the area above the flat area of the mold when compressing the heated glass sheet with the bend area plunger.

An intersecting region of the selectively-darkenable ICF, which is located substantially along a line from the position of the light source to the eye position, is calculated. The intersecting region of the ICF is darkened, such that a reduced amount of light from the light source passes through the intersecting region.

Abstract: Techniques, systems, and devices are disclosed for analyzing a reconstructed charged particle image of a volume of interest from charged particle detector measurements to detect objects within the volume of interest and then extracting features from the detected objects based on their statistical and geometric properties. In one aspect, this technique partitions the reconstructed charged particle image of the volume into a set of voxels, wherein each voxel is associated with an intensity value. The technique next performs a segmentation operation on the said image to identify a subset of the set of voxels as object-candidate voxels for generating objects. The technique then performs a connected-component analysis on the object-candidate voxels to identify one or more objects within the said image of the volume. The technique subsequently extracts a set of object features from each identified object based at least on the statistical and geometric properties of the identified object.
