Methods for insurance of online presence (202) and / or data (200) are described. An insurer (302) contracts with an insured entity (304) in an agreement (308) under which a premium (310) is paid for insurance coverage. The premium is calculated (306) using a pure premium method (400) or a loss ratio premium method (402), in a manner that depends on factors such as expected virus scan results (404), expected data recovery time (406), expected geographic spread (408), use of multiple recovery methods (410), and other information regarding the insured entity's business and the technical protection services (206) to be used. In some embodiments, the technical protection services are provided under the agreement by a third party technical services provider (300). Systems, signals, and configured media are also described.

Measured data, such as WLAN data, are received. The measured data are compared with expected data, such as expected WLAN data. Expected WLAN data can be generated from various sources, for example floor plan data and access point data (e.g., quantity, placement, and / or configuration). Based on such measured data, WLAN features can be changed, such as floor plan and / or access point data (e.g., quantity, placement, and / or configuration).

A wake-and-go mechanism is provided for a data processing system. The wake-and-go mechanism recognizes a programming idiom, specialized instruction, operating system call, or application programming interface call that indicates that a thread is waiting for an event. The wake-and-go mechanism updates a wake-and-go array with a target address, expected data value, and comparison type associated with the event. The thread then goes to sleep until the event occurs. The wake-and-go array may be a content addressable memory (CAM). When a transaction appears on the symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) fabric that modifies the value at a target address in the CAM, logic associated with the CAM performs a comparison based on the data value being written, expected data value, and comparison type.

A method, mechanism, and computer program product for managing, referencing, and accessing centrally managed information are disclosed. Transparency is provided to the centrally managed data by introducing a mapping system between locally expected data and the central data repository. This allows, for example, local relational database systems to transparently access information from a central LDAP directory.

An enterprise test system includes a plurality of probes inserted at various locations in the enterprise system for recording data from system components during teach mode. During playback mode, the recorded data is used to exercise the system as probes collect actual data for comparison to expected data. In one embodiment, data from actual user transactions is recorded by the probes. The recorded data can be expanded to load test a component using recorded transaction data. In one embodiment, the recorded data can be used to load test a component under test without compiling test code.

A user equipment (UE) device may be configured to effectively manage coexistence of multiple radio access technologies (RATs) on the device. Respective controllers responsible for at least partially managing wireless communications according to corresponding respective RATs may communicate to each other expected data transfer patterns that take place over their respective communications links, including application-specific data transfer patterns and data-transfer-mechanism-specific data transfer patterns. The RAT controllers may manage their respective data transfers according to the expected data-transfer pattern information associated with the other RATs received from each in order to prevent data transmission by the device over one RAT link interfering with data transmission of the device over another RAT link. The expected data pattern information may be sent in messaging of a specific type with indexes determined based at least on a status of the data transfer mechanism and a connectivity status of the UE device.

A distributed, multistage agent for monitoring, diagnosis and maintenance of network devices comprises an input / output interface for receiving input monitoring and diagnostic data relevant to operation of a first neighboring agent and transmitting output monitoring and diagnostic data relevant to operation of the host network device to a second neighboring agent. An agent process analyzes the input data and generates processed data characterizing operation of the host network device, using a local database which stores expected performance data on operation of said network device. The processed data is correlated with the expected data any error is signaled to the network operator. The agents may be designed as a multiple stage process, the stages being triggered by the data output by an earlier stage only when needed.

A receiving apparatus and method for performing carrier detection in a frequency domain for a digital wavelet multi-carrier transmission. A wavelet transform of received data is performed to output complex data and then the complex data is delayed for one sampling period. Subsequently, the delayed complex data and delayed complex data are divided. A number of the divided complex data present within each of plural quadrants on orthogonal coordinates is calculated and a maximum number of data present within one of the quadrants is selected and compared with a threshold in order to decide whether the received data is intended data.

A method and apparatus for detecting and segmenting anomalous data in an input data set such as an image is described, which makes use of a normalised distance measure referred to as a zeta distance score. A test data point from an input test data set is compared with its corresponding nearest neighbouring standard data points in standard data sets representing variation in normal or expected data values, and the average distance from the test data point to the standard data points is found. An additional average distance measure representing the average distance between the different nearest neighbouring corresponding standard data points is also found, and a normalised distance measure obtained by finding the difference between the average distance from the test data point to the standard points and the average distance between the nearest neighbouring standard data points themselves. Where the input test data set is an image then a zeta distance score map can be found. By then thresholding the zeta distance scores obtained for the input data set using an appropriate threshold, anomalous data in the data set with a high zeta distance score can be identified, and segmented.

The invention relates to a road matching method based on the fusion of a probe vehicle movement track and an electronic map. The method is characterized in that an urban road network is divided by adopting a mesh division technology, so that the road section search complexity can be greatly reduced; a map matching method fusing a three-section matching concept of reference historical data and prospective data and an improved weight model concept is adopted for overcoming the weaknesses by acquiring strong points, the matching degree calculated by adopting the weight model is adopted as the evidence, and the three-section matching concept is used for making the decision, so that the reliability of the decision evidence and the reasonability of a result decision can be improved, and the relatively high matching precision can be achieved by virtue of the minimum complexity.

A method and apparatus for verification of coherence for shared cache components in a system verification environment are provided. With the method and apparatus, stores to the cache are applied to a cache functional simulator in the order that they occur in the trace information from the canonical tracers. However, rather than updating the cache simulator with the actual data stored, the performed time of the store event is applied to the simulator as data. The cache simulator stores the latest performed time for each byte of each cache line in the simulated cache, in an associated data structure. For each load event that is encountered in the trace information for a byte, a comparison is made between a global expected data age of the data in the cache and the performed time associated with the byte. If the data age in the simulated cache for the byte is less than the global expected data age, i.e. a latest previously encountered data age, then a cache coherence violation has occurred.

In some embodiments, the one or more indications may be based on the combined performance data.

In a computing system environment, a data recipient manages entropy data supplied from an external data source despite not knowing or being certain about their trustworthiness or if such varies over time. Features relate to scoring the data and determining whether it meets or exceeds a predetermined policy score. One or more initial or updated reputation values of the data source are contemplated and used for scoring. Logging of the scoring, reputation values or other matters is provided for historical purposes and to identify possible future corrective actions. Other embodiments contemplate enhancing the score of the entropy data. In some instances, use of less than all the data by the recipient occurs to increase attack-resistance. Whether such occurs or how much occurs remains substantially unbeknownst to all parties other than the data recipient. Still other embodiments contemplate computer-readable media.

Data is stored on a tag unit. The tag unit provides for alert monitoring capabilities and monitoring of events, these capabilities allow for supply chain plans to be restructured and for events to be rescheduled. The tag unit is attached to an item for tracking purposes. The tag unit monitors and stores a status of the item. Then the item is sent to a destination. The tag unit is scanned when the item has been sent to a destination. The data on the tag unit is updated as a function of scanning. The data is updated when the tag unit is scanned at a destination. Then the data on the tag unit is validated. The data is validated for security purposes. The data on the tag unit is scanned to identify conditions to trigger actions. The system recovers from failure to read data on the tag unit by reconstructing the expected data from a history of the tag unit. Failure may be a result of identified or unidentified tempering of tag units, failure of the tag unit mechanism, or violation of the tag unit access limitations.

Disclosed is a method and mechanism for accessing XML data. In one approach, in the case of a schema based document, the structure of the XML document is known apriori and this information can be exploited to store and retrieve the data more efficiently. A Named Access interface or procedure can be defined and associated with elements of the schema. The need for datatype conversions can be eliminated by allowing direct mapping to the intended datatype or the closest matching datatype in the system to which the invention is directed. The storage information can be exploited to provide “direct” access to data based on offset in lieu of a linear traversal. Another aspect is that only the relevant portions need to be even loaded into memory.

Interaction between a client and a service in which the service responds to requests from the client. In addition to responding to specific client requests, the service also anticipates or speculates about what the client may request in the future. Rather than await the client request (that may or may not ultimately be made), the service provides the unrequested anticipatory data to the client in the same data stream as the response data that actual responds to the specific client requests. The client may then use the anticipatory data to fully or partially respond to future requests from the client, if the client does make the request anticipated by the service. Thus, in some cases, latency may be reduced when responding to requests in which anticipatory data has already been provided. The service may give priority to the actual requested data, and gives secondary priority to the anticipatory data.

A system for monitoring data-access behavior is provided. The system may derive a behavioral pattern based on at least one of historic data access by a user or expected data access by the user. The system may also generate a behavioral model for the user based on the behavioral pattern for the user. In response to detecting a data access activity by the user, the system may compare the data access activity to the behavioral model to determine the data access activity is unusual for the user. The system may further trigger a remediation action in response to determining the data access activity is unusual for the user.

An approach is provided for adjusting a characteristic of a data stream. A rate of data usage provided by one or more data streams within a time period that has not ended is determined. An amount of time remaining in the time period is determined. Based at least in part on the amount of time remaining in the time period and the rate of data usage, an expected amount of data usage within the entire time period is determined. Whether the expected amount of data usage exceeds a limit on data usage within the entire time period is determined. If the expected amount of data usage exceeds the limit, the characteristic of the data stream is adjusted so that actual data usage within the entire time period does not exceed the limit. The actual data usage is based in part on the adjusted characteristic.

A technique for concurrently accessing a data set includes initializing a shared cache with a column data store configured to store an expected data set in columns and creating a memory map for accessing the physical memory location in the shared cache. Other operations include mapping the applications' data access requests to the shared cache with the memory map. One advantage of the disclosed technique is that only one instance of the expected data set is stored in memory, so each application is not required to create additional instances of the expected data set in the applications memory address space. Therefore, larger expected data sets may be entirely stored in memory without limiting the number of applications running concurrently.

A method by a network device for generating audit logs. The method includes obtaining a first set of application programming interface (API) responses from an endpoint of an API, generating a profile for the endpoint of the API based on analyzing the first set of API responses, where the profile of the endpoint indicates an expected structure of API responses and expected data types associated with data fields included in API responses, obtaining a second set of API responses, using the API profile to determine, for each API response in the second set of API responses, data types of data values included in that API response, and generating an audit log that logs information regarding the data types of the data values included in the second set of API responses.

Video data is transcoded on the fly to produce a progressive download viewed while the data is being received while streaming and / or may be downloaded and played later. An analyser analyses a portion of an input video data file to determine coded characteristics of encoded input video and determines an expected data volume. A generator generates a file header for output video data that includes an indication of the expected volume thereof. A transcoder transcodes the input video data to produce encoded output video data. The output interface supplies the encoded output video data with the file header as a stream to a receiving device. In a first embodiment, the expected volume of data in the header is overestimated and blank video chunks added. In an alternative embodiment, the expected data of volume is underestimated and compression parameters are modified during the transcoding process.
