Abstract: In one embodiment, a device makes a prediction regarding service level agreement violations by a network transport available between a site and an online application. The device associates a risk metric with the prediction, based in part on a type of the network transport. The device computes a longevity metric for the prediction that indicates an expected validity period for the prediction. The device cause traffic to be routed between the site and the online application using the network transport, based on the prediction and its associated risk metric and its longevity metric.

Abstract: A hydraulic piston machine including a housing, a shaft that is able to rotate relative to the housing, and a cam secured to one of the housing or the shaft. A cylinder block includes pistons that are able to move in the cylinder block opposite the cam in order to generate relative rotation between the cylinder block and the cam. The cylinder block is linked in rotation to the other of the shaft or the housing. A mechanism forms rotation guide bearings for guiding the rotation of the shaft relative to the housing, which mechanism includes a tapered plain bushing interposed between a housing element and an element linked in rotation with the shaft and in which the tapered plain bushing includes a radial through-slit extending through the entire radial dimension of the bushing.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a device classification service forms a device cluster by applying clustering to attributes of endpoint devices observed in one or more networks. The device classification service applies an initial device classification rule to the endpoint devices in the device cluster, based on one or more of the endpoint devices in the device cluster matching the initial device classification rule. The device classification service computes metrics for the initial device classification rule that quantify how well the attributes of the endpoint devices in the device cluster match the initial device classification rule. The device classification service decides, based on the metrics, whether to associate the initial device classification rule with the device cluster or generate a new device classification rule based on the device cluster.

Abstract: A precombustor system (300) including an ignition chamber (301) having a front wall (308), a central axis, a diameter Dic, and an outlet (313) configured to discharge a product gas (315). The ignition chamber (301) includes a central ignition oxygen injector (307) configured to inject a first oxygen stream from the front wall (308) substantially parallel to the central axis, and a tangential primary fuel injector (303) configured to inject a primary fuel stream tangential to the central axis at a location an axial distance Xpf downstream of the front wall (308). The ratio Xpf/Dic is from 0.25 to 4.0. The central axis forms an angle a with a vertical line of less than or equal to about 45 degrees. The trajectory of the primary fuel stream forms an angle ? with a plane that is perpendicular to the central axis of less than or equal to about 20 degrees. A method for combustion is also disclosed.
