by Kyle Bruce Wheeler Network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) are deployed near network gateways to analyze all traffic entering or leaving the network. The traffic at such locations is frequently transmitted in such volumes and speeds that a commodity computer quickly becomes overwhelmed. NIDS must be able to handle all of the traffic available. The SPANIDS platform addresses this problem w...

I present the sandpile load balancer, an application of the abelian sandpile model to dynamic load balancing. The sandpile load balancer exploits the self-organized criticality of the abelian sandpile model to distribute web traffic across a network of servers. I also propose the sandpile load balancer latency minimization problem in which the goal is to minimize the latency of packets across t...

1. BALANCING NUMBERS We call an Integer n e Z a balancing number if 1+ 2+ --+ (»l ) = (w + l) + (w + 2) +••• + (» + >•) (1) for some r e Z. Here r is called the balancer corresponding to the balancing number n. For example, 6, 35, and 204 are balancing numbers with balancers 2, 14, and 84, respectively. It follows from (1) that, if n is a balancing number with balancer r, then n2^(n + r)(n + r ...

Balancer chromosomes are critical tools for Drosophila genetics. Many useful transgenes are inserted onto balancers using a random and inefficient process. Here we describe balancer chromosomes that can be directly targeted with transgenes of interest via recombinase-mediated cassette exchange (RMCE).

The subject of this article is network management through web service calls, which allows software applications to exert an influence on network traffic. In this manner, software can make independent decisions concerning the direction of requests so that they can be served as soon as possible. This is important because only proper cooperation including all architecture layers can ensure the bes...

Cloud, fog and dew computing concepts offer elastic resources that can serve scalable services. These resources can be scaled horizontally or vertically. The former is more powerful, which increases the number of same machines (scaled out) to retain the performance of the service. However, this scaling is tightly connected with the existence of a balancer in front of the scaled resources that w...

In many industrial applications imbalance is a major cause for unwanted vibrations. One way to compensate for an unknown imbalance is the implementation of an automatic ball balancer. Oil-lubricated automatic ball balancers are applied in hand-held tools and washers. However, in applications such as optical drives fluid lubrication is highly undesirable since it may destroy the optical system u...

Abstract—This paper explain the primary balancing of single cylinder engine and optimizing the counter balancing mass to reduce the unbalanced forces coming on the crankshaft. After optimizing, the effect of primary balancing is validated. After primary balancing, the vibration is measured on the engine at various locations. Balancer shaft is designed for the unbalanced forces exist after prima...
