The plurality of representative data records is segmented into two or more clusters based on the values of the second number of representatives. The representative data records in the two or more clusters are partitioned to form a predefined number of representative data subsets.

Abstract: A security assessment scheduling tool uses a configuration file that is configurable via a user interface, to specify one or more elements of an application to be analyzed during the scoping process. Further, the security assessment scheduling tool may automatically schedule assessments for large numbers of applications using one or more constraining optimization techniques and/or via modeling the scheduling problem as an RCPSP problem. The security assessment scheduling tool processes the RCPSP problem for a defined period of time and then schedules remaining unscheduled applications within a specified time period thereby allowing the security assessment scheduling tool to schedule assessments of tens of thousands of applications.

Abstract: A powered shearing mechanism or cutter is disclosed that comprises an asynchronous double class 1 lever and a linear actuator that uses two ganged wheels to pry the effort portion of both levers open and close the jaws. The wheels move linearly—with the distance between them kept constant—and roll along—and exert force against—parts of the levers called “bearing surfaces.” The bearing surfaces are non-planar and reflectively symmetric and their profile is customized to provide any desired ideal mechanical advantage for the cutter. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment, the profile of the bearing surfaces is a circular arc, which provides a bearing surface which is easy to precisely fabricate and that provides a fairly constant ideal mechanical advantage at each point as the cutter's blades cut through the material.
