Abstract: A device may receive information that identifies a set of rules for analyzing network traffic associated with a cloud computing environment. The device may receive network traffic information associated with the cloud computing environment. The network traffic information may be associated with network traffic transmitted to or transmitted from the cloud computing environment. The device may analyze the network traffic information using the set of rules, and may identify an action to be performed based on analyzing the network traffic information using the set of rules. The device may identify a layer of the cloud computing environment, at which to perform the action, based on analyzing the network traffic information using the set of rules. The device may cause the action to be performed to modify a configuration associated with the layer of the cloud computing environment.

Abstract: A security device may receive a request, associated with a user, to access a particular device. The security device may authenticate the user based on the request. The security device may determine a key, from a set of keys stored by the security device, that is unassigned, and may assign the key to the user. The security device may mark the key as assigned. The security device may provide the key to the particular device, which may cause the particular device to validate the key by comparing the key to a set of valid keys. The set of valid keys may be stored in a memory accessible by the particular device based on having been previously provided to the particular device by the security device. The security device may establish a session with the particular device, and may provide the user with access to the particular device via the session.

Abstract: A device may receive, from a user device, an access request associated with a target device. The access request may include a particular level of access. The device may validate the access request based on information identifying a source of the access request. The device may request justification information based on validating the access request. The device may receive the justification information. The device may approve the access request based on the justification information. The device may configure a connection to the target device based on approving the access request. The device may provide, to the user device and without revealing credential information associated with the particular level of access to the source of the access request, information associated with the connection to the target device based on configuring the connection to the target device.

Abstract: A system for holding a portable computer device is provided. The system includes a platform configured to hold the portable computer device. Also, a port replicator is provided that replicates one or more computer ports of the portable computing device. The port replicator is configured to attach to the platform. In this embodiment, the port replicator may be connected to the portable computing device such that the ports of the port replicator may be used to connect to peripheral devices instead of the ports of the portable computing device. Thus, the ports of the port replicator act as if they were ports of the portable computing device. Additionally, the port replicator is configured to be detached from the platform. The port replicator, in this embodiment, can be used to support the portable computing device when the portable computing device is not being held by the platform. Accordingly, the port replicator may be used as a stand for the portable computing device.

Abstract: A coding scheme is provided that relates to a dimension of a user. The dimension may be a hand size. Depending on the dimension, a code in the coding scheme may be determined. The code indicates an optimal ergonomic setup for a user. A user may thus use the determined code to adjust the product to a position corresponding to the code. At this position, the product may be in an optimal ergonomic setup for the user. Alternatively, the user may select a product according to the determined code.

Abstract: A keyboard holder apparatus is disclosed. The keyboard holder apparatus includes a panel for supporting a keyboard, and an adjustment mechanism associated with the keyboard. A plurality of codes is associated with the adjustment mechanism, where the codes within the plurality of codes correspond to dimensions of body parts of different users.

Abstract: A wrist rest having height adjustability. The height adjustable wrist rest is a simple two-piece construction. The wrist rest includes a planar member having a first portion defining a first cavity having a first depth and a second portion defining a second cavity having a second depth greater than the first depth; and a support member adapted to be inserted into and removed from the cavities.

Abstract: High quality epitaxial layers of monocrystalline materials can be grown overlying monocrystalline substrates such as large silicon wafers by forming a compliant substrate for growing the monocrystalline layers. An accommodating buffer layer comprises a layer of monocrystalline oxide spaced apart from a silicon wafer by an amorphous interface layer of silicone oxide. The amorphous interface layer dissipates strain and permits the growth of a high quality monocrystalline oxide accommodating buffer layer. The accommodating buffer layer is lattice matched to both the underlying silicon wafer and the overlying monocrystalline material layer. Any lattice mismatch between the accommodating buffer layer and the underlying silicon substrate is taken care of by the amorphous interface layer. In addition, formation of a compliant substrate may include utilizing surfactant enhanced epitaxy, epitaxial growth of single crystal silicon onto single crystal oxide, and epitaxial growth of Zintl phase materials.

Abstract: Optical signal delay apparatus and method may delay the progress of an optical signal through a semiconductor structure for a predetermined period of time. An optical delay device comprising a directional coupler and an optical signal loop may be used to delay optical signals. If desired, at least part of a directional coupler in an optical delay device may be formed from electro-optical materials so that the optical signals may be selectively transferred from the directional coupler to an optical Signal loop. Selective transfer may be provided through the application of a voltage. Optical signals with differing wavelengths may be differentiated by using a plurality of optical delay devices that each delay an optical signal having a different wavelength.
