Title: Group server performance correction via actions to server subset
Inventor: CARMEL IDO
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2014-07-30
Abstract: Business transactions and the nodes processing the transactions are monitored and actions are applied to one or more nodes when a performance issue is detected. A performance issue may relate to a metric associated with a transaction or node that processes the transaction. If a performance metric does not satisfy a threshold/health rule, the policy determines which action should be performed to correct the performance of the node. A performance metric may be CPU usage or response time. When a problem is detected for multiple nodes, the present technology may address a subset of the multiple nodes rather than apply an action to each node experiencing the problem so fewer nodes are offline in order to find a solution. When a solution is found to correct the problem with the subset of nodes, the solution may be applied to the other nodes experiencing the same problem.

Inventor: Jon thomas mullen
IPC: G01C21/34
Filed: 2016-10-21
Abstract: A system that predicts the workload a driver may experience on a given route 502 and suggests an alternative route with a lower driver workload 504, 506. The driver workload may be quantified by a function of location; number of turns, lane changes, acceleration events; speed; traffic conditions; sun-load; road type; time of day that travelling will take place; and map geometry. Information on driver workload may also be gathered from a wireless network, or uploaded by a wireless network and stored in a workload database. The system may also determine a most probable route a driver may take using a driving history, calendar, a day of the week or the time of the day. The system may perform a cost comparison between alternative routes based on factors such as route length or attention demands to select the most appropriate suggested route. The system may also delay alerts when it detected that the announcement may coincide with a period where the driver is concentrating.

Title: Method of splicing together two audio sections and computer program product therefor
Inventor: JOSEPH MICHAEL WILLIAM LYSKE
IPC: G11B27/038
Filed: 2017-08-08
Abstract: A potential splice between two audio sections, each having metadata indicating their associated contextual themes, is assessed for compatible timing. A first time base for each audio section is produced by partitioning them into rhythmic beats each having an identified tempo. A second time base is produced by partitioning each beat of each audio section into measureable fractions by dividing each beat into at least a plurality of equal and evenly-spaced time divisions within each beat. At least one entry anacrusis is determined in a destination audio section that is proposed to follow a first audio section, each entry anacrusis providing a first timing displacement relative to the start point for the destination audio section. At least one exit anacrusis in the first audio section is then determined, each exit anacrusis providing a second timing displacement relative to the end point for the first audio section. The first and second timing displacements are compared and a potential splice is rejected if there is no correspondence between the first and second timing displacement. A third time base may be established to compensate for varying time signatures between the two audio sections.
