| 20090182525 | EXPLOSIVE DEVICE COUNTERMEASURES - A method and system for mitigating the effectiveness of IEDs are disclosed. The method can include detecting IEDs by sensing the presence of a non-linear electronic component of an IED. The presence of a non-linear electronic component of the IED can be detected by illuminating the device with a high power microwave signal containing a plurality of radio frequencies of electromagnetic radiation and receiving sum and/or difference frequency components that are produced by interaction of the illuminating signals with a non-linear IED component and subsequently re-radiated. | 07-16-2009 |

| 20110180768 | CAMOUFLAGE IN THE NEAR ULTRAVIOLET SPECTRUM - A UV camouflaging substance, in the form of a solid, powder, paste, film, or liquid, can be applied to objects such as fabrics to match the ultraviolet reflectivity of the objects with their immediate surroundings. Embodiments are transparent to visible and IR light, and can be applied without changing the visible appearance of the objects. Other embodiments visibly match the surrounding environment, such as a white substance used near snow. Different embodiments can be layered on top of each other to form UV camouflage textures and to adapt to changing environments. Some embodiments can be washed off, to avoid a build-up of camouflage layers. Embodiments include UV-interactive micro- or nano-particles suspended in a binding agent which transmit, reflect, absorb and/or scatter ultraviolet rays. Some particles are absorbent, while others are approximately one-quarter wavelength thick, and suppress UV light by inducing half-wavelength phase shifts between light reflected from opposing surfaces. | 07-28-2011 |

| 20090157441 | AUTOMATED SLA PERFORMANCE TARGETING AND OPTIMIZATION - Methods relating to the generation of service level agreement (SLA) performance report include measuring, over a service period, at least one service level measurement related to a provision of service. A measurable SLA commitment may include service level goals, with each goal containing a performance criterion, a target, and a comparison technique. A performance report may be generated based on the measurable SLA commitment and the at least one service level measurement and may include a goal analysis for each service level goal of the measurable SLA commitment. A system including a database and a report processor may be configured to generating a performance report including determining an actual level of service provided, comparing the measurable SLA commitment to the actual level of service provided, and determining a missed goal based on the actual level of service provided not realizing the SLA goal. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090157674 | DEVICE LEVEL PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND ANALYSIS - Methods relating to device level performance monitoring and analysis include accessing device data including a listing of network devices, with each network device having a device profile. The methods further include accessing service reports, with each report related to a service issue. A set of devices profiles from the listing of network devices may be identified based on a particular device being associated with a particular service issue. The method further includes determining a set of problem prone device profiles from the set of devices profiles. A system including at least one database and a report processor may be configured to associate device data with service reports, identify service issue trends from service reports, identify at least one at risk device susceptible to future service issues related to service issue trends, and provide preventative support to the identified at least one at risk device. | 06-18-2009 |

| 20110224841 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MONITORING A VEHICLE'S ENERGY SOURCE - One or more embodiments may include a method for remotely obtaining information about an energy source of a vehicle. Information identifying one or more vehicles and one or more drivers of the vehicles may be received at one or more computing devices remote from a vehicle. Instructions from the one or more remote computing devices may be transmitted requesting information from the identified vehicle(s) about a status of an energy source for the identified vehicle(s). The status information may be received at the remote computing device(s). Based on the energy source status information and the driver identifying information, a vehicle energy source status with respect to one or more attributes of the vehicle drivers may be calculated. Additionally, the vehicle energy source status may be displayed at the one or more devices. | 09-15-2011 |
