This invention is a system, method, and apparatus for detecting compromise of IP devices that make up an IP-based network. One embodiment is a method for detecting and alerting on the following conditions: (1) Denial of Service Attack; (2) Unauthorized Usage Attack; and (3) Spoofing Attack. A survey of services running on the IP device, historical benchmark data, and traceroute information may be used to detect a possible Denial of Service Attack. A detailed log analysis and a passive DNS compromise system may be used to detect a possible unauthorized usage. Finally, a fingerprint of the IP device or its configuration settings, a watermark inserted in the data-stream, and a private key burned into the IP devices' physical memory may be used to detect a possible spoofing attack. The present invention may be used to help mitigate intrusions and vulnerabilities in IP networks.

Personality, behavior and competency assessment data is obtained for a sales person (or group of sales persons), particularly via a computer-implemented interface. The resulting overall individual (or aggregated) assessment data is then compared with high sales performer benchmark data to identify performance improvement opportunities that, in turn, are used to identify at least one specific action for the sales person (or group of sales persons). Such techniques may be use with sales management personnel as well. Reports based on the assessment results and comparisons thereof with high sales performer benchmark data may be created and provided to the individuals being assessed or persons associated with the individual sales persons. The personality, behavior and competency assessment data may also be used to identify predictive characteristics of high sales performers that may be subsequently used to predict other characteristics of individuals or groups.

First, benchmark data are collected on two thin slices of an object to get measured k-space trajectories. To find delays on different physical gradients, the root mean square error between estimated and measured k-space trajectories is minimized for different delays. To reduce the error further, an eddy current compensation is introduced along each physical gradient axis. A more accurate estimation of the k-space trajectory can be obtained to image the object.
