Described herein is a system for executing distributed transactions. A coordinator and one or more participants cooperate to execute a distributed transaction, the distributed transaction including for each participant a transaction executed by the participant. To manage the transaction, the coordinator and the participant communicate over a network using, for example, a stateless protocol. Before each participant commits the transaction, the participants determine that the coordinator has committed the transaction. The coordinator commits the transaction after receiving acknowledgment from all the participants that they will commit the transaction. To determine whether the coordinator has committed the transaction, a participant transmits a message to the coordinator to acknowledge that it will commit the distributed transaction. The participant commits its respective transaction if it receives an acknowledgement from the coordinator. For the particular transaction being executed by a participant, the participant prevents other transactions from modifying a data item affected by the particular transaction. The participant will prevent such modifications until termination criteria for the particular transaction is satisfied, in which case the participant terminates the transaction.

Described herein is a system for executing distributed transactions. A participant and a coordinator cooperate to execute a distributed transaction, the distributed transaction including a transaction executed by the participant. To manage the transaction, the coordinator and the participant communicate over a network using, for example, a stateless protocol. The distributed transaction may be terminated when communication between the participant and coordinator regarding the transaction does not occur within a time period. The time period may reflect the time required for a coordinator to send a message and a participant to acknowledge receipt of the message, and the time for the participant to perform operations executed for the transaction. The latency of network traffic between the participant and the coordinator is monitored, and the time periods adjusted accordingly. In addition, the amount of time required for the participant to execute operations for the transaction is monitored, and the time periods adjusted accordingly.

A computer-implemented method, system, and program product comprises a gesture processing system for capturing a three-dimensional movement of a user, wherein the three-dimensional movement is determined using at least one stereoscopic image device aimed at the user to identify and track at least one particular three-dimensional movement of the user. The gesture processing system predicts at least one defined movement within the captured three-dimensional movement matching at least one gesture definition of at least one gesture type from among a plurality of gesture definitions. A resource control system receives a request to access a resource based on the predicted at least one gesture type. The resource control system only allows user access to the resource by matching the predicted at least one gesture type with at least one required gesture type.

A vehicle environment monitoring device identifies objects from an image taken by an infrared camera. Object extraction from images is performed in accordance with the state of the environment as determined by measurements extracted from the images as follows: N1 binarized objects are extracted from a single frame. Height of a grayscale objects corresponding to one of the binarized objects are calculated. If a ratio of the number of binarized objects C, where the absolute value of the height difference is less than the predetermined value ΔH, to the total number N1 of binarized objects, is greater than a predetermined value X1, the image frame is determined to be rainfall-affected. If the ratio is less than the predetermined value X1, the image frame is determined to be a normal frame. A warning is provided if it is determined that the object is a pedestrian and if a collision is likely.

The invention relates to a cloud computing resource scheduling method based on dynamic reconfiguration virtual resources. The method comprises the steps of: using cloud application load information collected by a cloud application monitor as a basis; making a dynamic decision based on the load capacity of the virtual resources for running cloud application and the current load of the cloud application; and dynamically reconfiguring virtual resources for cloud application based on the decision result. Dynamic adjustment of resources is realized by a method for reconfiguring virtual resources for cloud application, without needing dynamic redistribution of physical resources or stopping executing cloud application. The method can dynamically reconfigure the virtual resources according to the load variation of the cloud application, optimize allocation of the cloud computing resources, realize effective use of the cloud computing resources, and meet the requirements on dynamic scalability of cloud application. In addition, the method can avoid waste of the cloud computing resources, and save the cost for using resources for cloud application users.

Information is obtained from an application monitoring system which monitors the execution of an application and a traffic monitoring system which monitors traffic between clients and the application. The clients interact with the application to perform transactions or other tasks. Traffic monitoring data, such as information regarding defects and incidents, and application runtime data, such as traces of invoked application components, can be integrated in an output such as an interface to provide an enhanced understanding of system performance. Related traffic monitoring data and application runtime data can be linked by a request-response pair identifier associated with a request provided to the application and a response provided by the application.

An audio signal synthesizer generates a synthesis audio signal having a first frequency band and a second synthesized frequency band derived from the first frequency band and comprises a patch generator, a spectral converter, a raw signal processor and a combiner. The patch generator performs at least two different patching algorithms, each patching algorithm generating a raw signal. The patch generator is adapted to select one of the at least two different patching algorithms in response to a control information. The spectral converter converts the raw signal into a raw signal spectral representation. The raw signal processor processes the raw signal spectral representation in response to spectral domain spectral band replication parameters to obtain an adjusted raw signal spectral representation.

A method, system and program for preventing intrusion in a communications network. A source node initiates a request for network services, such as session establishment, database access, or application access. Known network resources and authorized user information is stored in a database at a network portal along with access policy rules that are device and user dependent. Identification of the source node is required before the source node can construct a transformed packet header that is included with a synchronization packet before transmission to a destination node. An appliance or firewall in the communications network receives and authenticates the synchronization packet before releasing the packet to its, intended destination. The authentication process includes verification of the access policy associated with the source node. Once received at the destination node, the transformed packet header is reformed by extracting a key index value. The extracted key index is subsequently used to transform the packet header in the response transmitted to the source node.

A method for identifying and choosing a shortest path segment that has an alternate edge disjoint path segment. While routing Unidirectional Path Switched Ring (UPSR) path segments in a graph, there may be several equal distance paths to choose the shortest path from. Choosing a certain path as the shortest path may minimize or eliminate the chance of finding an alternative path segment. A method is provided such that if multiple shortest paths from the source node to a particular destination node exist, the method selects the shortest path which has an alternate edge disjoint path, and which can be used for path protection. The particular shortest path chosen by the method is not necessarily the first shortest path constructed.

Embodiments of the present invention includes a handover processing method, a source eNB, a neighboring eNB and a network communication system. In one embodiment of the handover processing method, a source eNB selects a target eNB from neighboring eNBs that can accept a handover request from a mobile terminal, and notifies a selection result to the mobile terminal; if handover information corresponding to the mobile terminal is received by an neighboring eNB that can accept the handover request of the mobile terminal within a preset handover waiting time, the neighboring eNB determines that it is a target eNB and cooperates with the mobile terminal to perform a handover; otherwise, the neighboring eNB determines that it is a prepared eNB and reduces its resources reserved for the mobile terminal. The present invention can effectively improve the successful handover probability.

A method determines iteratively a motion of the vehicle from an initial location and a target location. An iteration of the method determines a location between the initial location and the target location that satisfies spatial constraints on locations of the vehicle and determines state transitions of the vehicle moved to the location from a set of neighboring locations determined during previous iterations. The method selects a neighboring location resulting in an optimal state transition of the vehicle and updates a graph of state transitions of the vehicle determined during previous iterations with the optimal state transition. The motion of the vehicle is determined a sequence of state transitions connecting the initial location with the target location and the vehicle is controlled according to the determined motion.
