A matched array technology system and method for displaying in a two-dimensional array the structured interactions between management and a plurality of employees in an organization. Axes contain proxy values of employee and manager expectations scaled to yield a matched array and an alignment vector containing cells representing target alignment between employee and manager expectations. A scatter plot of multiple employee positions portrays the pattern of talent alignment and distribution, representing the talent architecture for the organization. The talent architecture is characterized by multiple static and dynamic metrics that identify normative opportunities to improve organization alignment, and measure organization talent management performance, especially in relation to the reference and general alignment vectors of the array.

Technologies and techniques for reconfiguring an autonomous vehicle in the event of a fault, wherein application entities are executed in a distributed manner across a plurality of computing nodes in accordance with a predefined configuration. A fault in an application entity and/or in an operating system and/or in a piece of hardware is detected via the at least one monitor device, wherein the detected fault is isolated via a switching device by switching to application entities which are redundant with respect to the affected application entities, and wherein predefined redundancy conditions and/or segregation conditions are restored for the application entities by the reconfiguration, by an application placement device of the configuration, wherein the reconfiguration is carried out such that the number of times application entities are switched to other computing nodes to establish the predefined redundancy conditions and/or segregation conditions will be or is minimized.

A system for representing attributes in a transportation system digital twin includes a digital twin datastore and one or more processors. The digital twin datastore stores a transportation-system digital twin including real-world-element digital twins embedded therein. The transportation system digital twin corresponds to a transportation system. Each real-world-element digital twin provides a digital twin of a respective real-world element that is disposed within the transportation system. The real-world-element digital twins include mobile-element digital twins. Each mobile-element digital twin provides a digital twin of a respective mobile element within the real-world elements. The one or more processors are configured to, for each mobile element, determine, in response to an occurrence of a triggering condition, a position of the mobile element, and update, in response to determining the position of the mobile element, the mobile-element digital twin corresponding to the mobile element to reflect the position of the mobile element.

A delay measurement device that is to be connected, via a communication network, to a rendering server that performs rendering processing on an image, includes: transmission means for transmitting, to the rendering server, sensor information acquired from a sensor included in the delay measurement device and trigger information acquired in a predetermined time period; receiving means for receiving a rendered image generated through the rendering processing performed in the rendering server based on the sensor information and the trigger information; and measurement means for measuring a predetermined delay based on a difference between a first time indicating a time when the trigger information was transmitted to the rendering server and a second time indicating a time when the rendered image or a predetermined image was displayed.

Distributed systems, controllers and methods for processing information from a plurality of devices are provided. A distributed system includes a plurality of devices distributed in an environment. Each device has at least a communication capability for interchanging information with others of the devices and/or with a communication system. Each of at least some of the devices has one or more sensors for acquiring sensor data related to the environment proximate to the device. At least one of the communication system or one or more of the devices is configured as a controller configured to: select a subset of devices from among the plurality of devices, receive information based on the acquired sensor data of the selected subset, and combine the received information from the selected subset to determine a characteristic of the environment proximate to one or more of the devices.

Indexes having local features are automatically selected from sensor data of a plurality of sensors. Sensor data of the plurality of sensors, each associated with the plurality of indexes, is partitioned into a plurality of blocks. A principal component analysis is applied to the sensor data of each of the partitioned blocks and a plurality of principal components are extracted from each of the blocks. A migration distance evaluation unit extracts, from two different blocks, two principal components that form a principal component pair, and calculates a migration distance between each of the principal components regarding the extracted principal component pair. A migration factor index detection unit detects, as a migration factor index, an index among the plurality of indexes configuring the principal components having a large migration distance among the migration distances between each of the principal components calculated by the migration distance evaluation unit.

A tool verification system and a method of verifying an unqualified component includes receiving communications between a tool and an unverified component, comparing the communications with a previously-qualified set of communications, and determining whether the unqualified component can be qualified based on the comparison.

Systems and methods are provided for implementing soft model assertions (SMA) system and techniques designed to monitor and improve Machine Learning (ML) model quality by to detecting errors within the one or more ML models. SMA techniques and systems are distinctly designed to leverage: 1) a user's ability to specify features over data; and 2) large, existing datasets of organizations, in a manner that can improve the accuracy and quality of predicting potential errors in Machine Learning (ML) models. A SMA system can include a controller device receiving predictions generated based on the ML models and output from the SMA system. The controller performs autonomous operations of the system in response to determining that the one or more detected errors within the one or more ML models yield a high certainty of errors in the predictions. The SMA system also includes a domain specific language and a severity score module.

Behavior data associated with a user is obtained. The behavior data is generated when the user uses an Internet service and includes a user identification and identification information indicating the Internet service. At least one predefined carbon-saving quantity quantization algorithm is determined based on the identification information related to the Internet service. A carbon-saving quantity associated with the user is calculated based on the obtained behavior data and the determined at least one predefined carbon-saving quantity quantization algorithm. Based on the calculated carbon-saving quantity associated with the user and the user identification, user data is processed. The user data is related to the carbon-saving quantity associated with the user.
