A solution for centrally managing and federating outage specific information and for rapidly providing controlled access to this information in a role tailored fashion. The information can be gathered and provided in real-time along with programmatically determined proposed actions. An information recipient can configure and dynamically change the manner in which the information is presented, so that relevant information for that recipient can be rapidly digested. For example, a manager with a moderate level of technical knowledge may want information to be presented pictorially and in summary fashion, while a highly technical troubleshooter may want to configure information presentation to show key network statistics and values. In one embodiment, outage information can be presented in a Web portal having multiple discrete and customizable portlets, which include a geography portlet and a system portlet.

A dual LED and incandescent security lighting system uses a hybrid approach to LED illumination. It combines an ambient LED illuminator with a standard incandescent lamp on a motion control sensor. The LED illuminator will activate with the onset of darkness (daylight control) and typically remain on during the course of the night (“always on”). The LED illumination, typically amber, is sufficient to provide low to moderate level lighting coverage to the wall and ground area adjacent to and under the fixture. The incandescent lamp is integrated with a motion control circuit and sensor. When movement in the field of view is detected (after darkness), the incandescent lamp is switched on, providing an increased level of illumination to the area. Instead of an “always on” LED illuminator, the LEDs may also be switched off when the incandescent lamp is switched on.

Methods and systems for performing 3-D LIDAR measurements of objects simultaneously illuminated by two or more beams of light in the far field are described herein. A 3-D LIDAR based measurement device simultaneously emits at least two beams of light into a three dimensional environment from different locations. A portion of the three dimensional environment is simultaneously illuminated by the two or more light beams at a distance of at least five meters from the LIDAR device. However, the two or more light beams do not overlap at a distance less than five meters from the LIDAR device. The beams of light are slightly divergent, having highest intensity at the device and steadily lower intensity further away. By overlapping illumination beams in the far field, but not near the LIDAR device, overall intensity is maintained at moderate levels throughout the field of view of the LIDAR device.

A one step synthetic route of polymeric compositions of a polyolefin and inorganic network consisting of components selected from Si, Zr, Ti, is disclosed. The synthetic route combines parallel reactions of free radical polymerization to form polymer, and hydrolysis of either Si, or Zr, or Ti or both of them precursors. The network consisting of Si, Zr, Ti, is chemically bonded to or within the polymer matrix. The inorganic or organic molecules can then be polymerized under conditions effective to cause the polymerized inorganic or organic molecules into macromolecular networks. The compositions of the polymeric composites can be easily controlled by adjusting the reactant ratio and reaction rate or conditions such as temperature and pressure, wherein the inorganic compositions disperse in nanoscale within polymeric composites when their concentrations fall below moderate levels. A novel synthesis route for making polymer composites and/or polymer nanocomposites of a polyolefin and an inorganic network consisting of components selected from Si, Zr, Ti, is disclosed. The synthesis route comprises hydrolysis of either Si, or Zr, or Ti alkoxides or mixtures of these precursors within a polymer matrix in supercritical fluids.

In hardware, performing computations on a stream typically requires handshaking signals to provide flow control. Many different handshaking protocols are available, and they are typically implemented in an ad hoc manner suited to the current design. An approach according to the invention uses a subset of the possible flow-control protocols in an effort to achieve a maximum amount of flexibility and reusability, while requiring only a moderate level of overhead when compared to manually-designed systems.

In the management of a processor, logical operation activity is monitored for increases from a low level to a high level during a sampling window across multiple cores sharing a common supply rail, with at least one decoupling capacitor along the common supply rail. Responsive to detecting the increase in logical operation activity from the low level to the high level during the sampling window, the processor limits the logical operations executed on the cores during a lower activity period to a level of logical operations set between the low level and a medium level, where the medium level is an amount between the low level and the high level. Responsive to the lower activity period ending, the processor gradually decreases the limit on the logical operations to resume normal operations.

A dosage of a propofol prodrug needed for inducing mild to moderate sedation levels in a patient is calculated based on a patient's lean body mass. It has been discovered dosages based on gross body mass may result in overdosing, particularly for obese patients. In another aspect, a dosage suitable for inducing mild to moderate sedation levels in a patient who is at least 60 years of age is determined. A weight-appropriate dosage for the patient is determined and then adjusted by an age-based factor. For example, the dosage needed to produce a sedated state or other effect in a patient who is 60 years of age or older may be about 0.6-0.8 times the dosage needed to produce a corresponding effect in a younger patient of the same weight.
