Abstract: In one example, a processor may receive a first request to process a first task, the first request including a first estimated central processing unit utilization for the first task and a first estimated memory utilization for the first task and receive central processing unit capacities and memory capacities of a plurality of sub-data routers including at least a first sub-data router. The processor may further determine that the first sub-data router has a lowest central processing unit capacity from among the plurality of sub-data routers that is sufficient to accommodate the first estimated central processing unit utilization for the first task and determine that the first sub-data router has a memory capacity that is sufficient to accommodate the first estimated memory utilization for the first task. The processor may then assign the first task to the first sub-data router.

Abstract: A data center cooling system configured to cool one or more components of a data center thereby enabling a data center to be maintained at a higher overall temperature while still providing sufficient cooling to the components housed in the data center is disclosed. By maintaining the data center at a higher overall temperature, significant operational costs are realized due to savings in power costs. The data center cooling system may include one or more turbo-expanders having a rotary turbine positioned within a turbo-expander housing in which compressed air expands and drives the rotary turbine. The cooled expanded air is heated passing through a thermal transfer system that pulls heat from the data center component. The air is further heated passing through a brake system that generates heat by applying resistance to a shaft coupled to the rotary turbine. The heated air is exhausted outside of the data center.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An example method includes attempting to establish a remote communication path to a wireless network from a proxy, the proxy physically attached to a balloon. A determination is made as to whether an emergency procedure is to be performed. In response to a first determination that the remote communication path is established and that the emergency procedure is to be performed, a current location of the proxy is determined, and the current location of the proxy is transmitted to an emergency server.

Abstract: A system for displaying points of interest on a heads-up display is disclosed. In particular, the system may utilize vehicular cameras, a touchscreen device, and a heads-up display to provide the functionality supported by the system. The system enables a user to select a point of interest within a field of view on the touchscreen device. Based on the selection of the point of interest, the system may display information associated with the point of interest on the heads-up display. The point of interest may be determined by the location of the vehicle, the vehicle's azimuth, and the real-time measured distance to an object corresponding to the point of interest. In order to accurately display the point of interest information at the correct location on the heads-up display, the system may utilize a calibration mechanism specific to the user to determine the correct location.

Abstract: The accuracy of a location determination mechanism may be determined as compared to another location determination mechanism. Dialing 9-1-1 on a mobile communication device may trigger location determination of the device via a GPS-based mechanism. The location information may be time stamped. The location and time information may be provided to a network. The network may determine the location of the device via network infrastructure. The network may time stamp this second set of locations. The determination of the locations of the device via GPS and via the network infrastructure may occur approximately during the same time frame. The first set of locations and the second set of locations may be time aligned, and the differences between the two sets may be utilized to determine the accuracy of network-infrastructure-based location determination mechanism as compared to the GPS-based location determination mechanism.
