Abstract: A test system for applying a method for resource-optimized parameter variation of scenarios for testing at least one real and/or virtual system under test and/or for displaying test results. At least one scenario is provided, wherein the scenario is defined by at least one parameter and wherein the parameter is configured by at least one numeric value and/or text value, wherein the numeric value and/or the text value is configurable by additional numeric and/or text values. At least one scenario-based test is performed, wherein the scenario is defined by and is varied over configured parameters. The test results is outputted.

Abstract: A validation system for executing a method for prioritizing validation tasks, wherein the validation tasks are carried out by execution units of the validation system, wherein the execution units are divided into at least two groups and each group is assigned capabilities by the validation system and/or by a user of the validation system, so that execution units of a respective group have the capabilities of the group and, when the validation tasks are executed automatically by the validation system and/or by the user, a requirement of the respective validation task for the capability of the execution units and a priority for execution are specified and, taking into account the priorities and the capable execution units, an execution sequence is determined and the validation task is executed according to the execution sequence by the capable execution units.

Abstract: Examples of memory-efficient techniques for dynamically generating images having customizable image portions are disclosed herein. In particular embodiments, a collection of contributing images with different image information in the contributing image's channel layers is used to generate a composite result image. By combining the subimage data from each channel of the contributing image in accordance with a composite image function, a resultant composite image can be generated that has the desired customized properties selected by the user. To create the customized properties, one or more of the color channel subimages can have their values scaled (e.g., using matrix multiplication) according to the customization preferences of the user such that, when combined with the other contributing images, the desired customized result is presented to the user.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems, methods, and devices for correlating and sharing information. In particular, the invention relates to systems, methods, and devices for identifying subjects of interest suspected of involvement in one or more crimes, and sharing and correlating information relating to subjects and events. In further aspects of the invention, methods and system are provided for sharing alerts between users of electronic devices.

Abstract: A switch device is configured to receive a data unit from a virtual port from a first set of virtual ports. The switch device is configured to associate an identifier of each virtual port from the first set of virtual ports with an identifier of a first access group that is associated with an access set. The switch device is configured to prohibit the data unit from being sent to a remaining virtual port from the first set of virtual ports if the data unit is addressed to that virtual port. The switch device is configured to otherwise allow the data unit to be sent to a virtual port from a second set of virtual ports associated with a second access group when the second access group is associated with the access set. The second set of virtual ports is mutually exclusive from the first set of virtual ports.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an intake buffer module and a flow control module configured to define an available bits indicator, the available bits indicator representing a number of unallocated bits within the intake buffer module. The apparatus further includes a transceiver module configured to transmit, to a peripheral device, a credit update frame based at least in part on the available bits indicator. The transceiver module can be configured to receive a Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) frame from the peripheral device, a size of the FCoE frame being less than or equal to the number of unallocated bits. The apparatus can further include a switch fabric interface module operatively coupled to a plurality of switch fabric devices that define at least a portion of a switch fabric.
