Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for communication in a network. The apparatus sends a multicast message to a network device. The multicast message facilitates discovery of an unknown IP address of the network device. The apparatus determines whether a first response message is received from the network device in response to the multicast message and determines the IP address of the network device from the first response message when the first response message is received from the network device. The apparatus establishes a secure connection with the network device using the determined IP address. The apparatus sends a link status check message to the network device to detect a failed end-to-end link between the apparatus and the network device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating a polymer make use of a workflow request identifying input data and a workflow instance. The workflow instance comprises a plurality of actors, each having one or more input and output ports. The workflow instance defines an acyclic directed graph comprising nodes and edges. Each node is an actor in the plurality of actors and each edge corresponds to at least one of (i) an input port of an actor in the plurality of actors and (ii) an output port of an actor in the plurality of actors. Graph parsing produces an ordered list of job requests. Each job request corresponds to an actor in the plurality of actors. An actor in the plurality of actors is executed in an order specified by the ordered list and contributes an output to another actor in the plurality of actors that is specified by the graph.

Abstract: Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) can have errors which can affect their performance. To improve the performance, many techniques have been used to compensate or correct for the errors. When the ADCs are being implemented with sub-micron technology, ADCs can be readily and easily equipped with an on-chip microprocessor for performing a variety of digital functions. The on-chip microprocessor and any suitable digital circuitry can implement functions for reducing those errors, enabling certain undesirable artifacts to be reduced, and providing a flexible platform for a highly configurable ADC. The on-chip microprocessor is particularly useful for a randomized time-interleaved ADC. Moreover, a randomly sampling ADC can be added in parallel to a main ADC for calibration purposes. Furthermore, the overall system can include an efficient implementation for correcting errors in an ADC.

Abstract: The present embodiments provide system and methods for deploying an endoluminal prosthesis. In one example, the system comprises a sheath, and a stent-graft disposed within the sheath in a delivery state. A pusher having proximal and distal sections is disposed at least partially within the sheath in the delivery state. An orientation marker is disposed on the pusher.

Abstract: An introducer for an endoluminal prosthesis and a methods for delivering a prosthesis within a body vessel are described. The introducer comprises pusher catheter having a lumen extending therethrough, the lumen being in communication with an opening formed in the sidewall of the pusher. A sheath is disposed over the pusher catheter and also has an opening formed in its sidewall. The sheath is longitudinally movable relative to the pusher catheter between a prosthesis delivery position and a prosthesis deployment position. When the sheath is in the deployment position, the opening formed in the sidewall of the pusher catheter is at least partially longitudinally aligned with the opening formed in the sidewall of the sheath. A wire may extend though the opening in the sheath, the opening in the pusher, through the lumen of the pusher and through a fenestration in a prosthesis to cannulate a branch vessel.

Abstract: Homes, enterprises, and other facilities often have routers that receive internet connectivity through wired remote network connections, and this connectivity is provided to locally connected client devices. Smart phones and other wireless devices can serve as mobile access points that receive internet connectivity through different remote network connections (e.g., cellular networks). The mobile access points may also service client devices that may be different from those serviced by the routers. When a mobile access point is placed in a facility having a router, the local networks of the mobile access point and the router may be merged. Disclosed are systems and methods for dynamically selecting from multiple host devices (e.g., the router and the mobile access point) to provide internet connectivity for merged networks.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to providing enhanced database editing and reporting capabilities. In one scenario, a computer system receives a data item request that identifies which data items are to be reported. The computer system accesses a relational data store to determine which information sets are to be used for reporting the requested data items. Based on the determination, the computer system accesses those information sets that are to be used in the reporting the requested data items. The computer system then determines that metadata has been provided for at least one of the accessed information sets. The metadata includes instructions at least partially indicating how the data items are to be reported. The computer system also reports the data items according to the instructions in the provided metadata, regardless of how the data items are to be reported using the existing information sets.

Abstract: A system that processes trade events is provided. The system receives events associated with a supply chain financial orchestration flow, where a supply chain financial orchestration flow defines a trade relationship between a first entity and a second entity. The system further determines whether at least one event indicates an ownership change of an item between a first entity and a second entity. The system further generates trade events where at least one event indicates an ownership change. The system further sends the trade events to a cost accounting system. The cost accounting system further performs accounting based on the trade events and generates trade accounting events.
