  • Publication number: 20230075828
    Abstract: In one example, a neural network model may be generated for a computing network having a plurality of computing resources. Performance metrics and historical usage patterns are the basis for learning current utilization patterns of the computing resources. A workload capacity for each one of the computing resources may be determined, and a neural path may be generated for execution of a specified workload.

  • Patent number: 10185844
    Abstract: A security device for preventing the use of a data sending/receiving component having a connector and positioned in a computer housing includes a locking member. The locking member has a sidewall defining an interior space. A plurality of tabs extends from the sidewall towards an end of the locking member. The tabs are deflectable relative to the sidewall. The tabs of the locking member have a deflected condition in which the tabs extend a first angle from the sidewall to allow for movement of the locking member into the data sending/receiving component in a first direction and an installed condition in which the tabs extend a second angle greater than the first angle to prevent removal of the locking member from the data sending/receiving component. The locking member is incapable of returning to the deflected condition once in the installed condition by accessing the end of the locking member.

  • Publication number: 20140100920
    Abstract: An instrument for measuring and presenting customer impressions of a company uses weighted response values of survey questions to develop a customer experience score and a customer interaction score. The two scores are added to produce a composite score. The three scores for a company may be presented with other score sets for other companies to provide a simple and consistent comparison of companies. When different businesses or even different industries have different customer experiences and interactions, weighting of response values can be adjusted to more accurately reflect the importance of that factor on the overall customer experience, which models customer satisfaction.
