Abstract: A transaction analysis system includes a computer-executable tool for obtaining first and second measured elapsed times to complete a transaction on at least one of the resources of an integrated computing system at first and second loading levels, respectively. The tool then generates, using a curve fitting algorithm, a function according to the first and second measured elapsed times to complete the transaction at the first and second loading level. The resulting function indicates an expected level of performance of the transaction at varying degrees of loading levels.

Abstract: A mobile robot is configured for operation in a commercial or industrial setting, such as an office building or retail store. The robot can patrol one or more routes within a building, and can detect violations of security policies by objects, building infrastructure and security systems, or individuals. In response to the detected violations, the robot can perform one or more security operations. The robot can include a removable fabric panel, enabling sensors within the robot body to capture signals that propagate through the fabric. In addition, the robot can scan RFID tags of objects within an area, for instance coupled to store inventory. Likewise, the robot can generate or update one or more semantic maps for use by the robot in navigating an area and for measuring compliance with security policies.

Abstract: A GPU filters graphics workloads to identify candidates for profiling. In response to receiving a graphics workload for the first time, the GPU determines if the graphics workload would require the GPU shaders to use fewer resources than would be spent profiling and determining a resource allocation for subsequent receipts of the same or a similar graphics workload. The GPU can further determine if the shaders are processing more than one graphics workload at the same time, such that the performance characteristics of each individual graphics workload cannot be effectively isolated. The GPU then profiles and stores resource allocations for a plurality of shaders for processing the filtered graphics workloads, and applies those stored resource allocations when the same or a similar graphics workload is received subsequently by the GPU.

Abstract: The present invention describes a method for repairing defects on a surface of an optical substrate. The method includes a step of providing a radiation curable coating and then applying the coating onto a surface of the optical substrate. The coating is then cured with a UV light source causing the refractive index of the coating to be less than ±10% of the refractive index of the substrate. The cured coating exhibits a viscosity less than about 315 CP at 25° C. The present invention also describes a novel coating composition for repairing optical substrates.

Abstract: Network address requests from candidate nodes are directed to a quarantined server rather than a network address server. The candidate node is admitted to a virtual network, enabling the candidate node to access only limited resources of the network and minimizing security risks to the network. The quarantined server determines whether the candidate node complies with a set of security criteria. If the candidate node conforms to the set of criteria, when a second request for a network address is sent by the candidate node, the second request is received by the quarantined server and relayed to the network address server. Thereafter, the network address server will issue a network address to the candidate node, enabling the candidate node to access at least a portion of the full resources of the network. If the candidate node does not comply with the security criteria and cannot be remediated, the network address server will not issue a network address to the candidate node.
