An invention for comparing utility and warranty of services in an information (IT) stack is provided. Embodiments of this invention are directed to comparing utility and warranty of services in an information technology (IT) stack comprising a plurality of layers, at least one of the plurality of layers having a set of services. In these embodiments, a utility and warranty tool provides this capability. Specifically, the utility and warranty tool comprises a determination component configured to determine, at each layer of the IT stack, a required utility and warranty (RUW) value for each of the set of services, wherein the RUW value represents a desired solution for implementing a business process; and determine, at each layer of the IT stack, an available utility and warranty (AUW) value for each of the set of services, wherein the AUW value is a measure of an ability of each of the set of services to satisfy the RUW at each layer of the IT stack. The utility and warranty tool further comprises a comparison component configured to compare the RUW value against the AUW value at each layer of the IT stack to determine whether each of the set of services satisfies the desired solution for implementing the business process.

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer-usable program product for identifying marketing trends in unique cohort groups. Information describing a plurality of unique cohort groups associated with a public environment is retrieved. Each member of a cohort group in the plurality of unique cohort groups shares at least one common attribute. Sets of attributes associated with the plurality of unique cohort groups are identified. The sets of attributes are analyzed by a cohort trend detection engine to identify attribute trends associated with the sets of attributes and a frequency of occurrence of the attribute trends in the plurality of unique cohort groups to form current attribute trends. In response to a query to an inference engine requesting inferences associated with the marketing trends, inferences describing future occurrences of the attributes in the plurality of cohort groups are received to form a set of future attribute trends. A set of marketing trends are generated using the current attribute trends and the set of future attribute trends. The set of marketing trends describes probable future marketing trends in the given environment.

The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for generating retail cohorts. In an illustrative embodiment, retail data derived from a population of retail customers is received and processed to form digital retail data. The digital retail data includes metadata describing a set of retail patterns associated with one or more customers in the population of retail customers. The set of retail patterns form a set of retail attributes for cohort generation. The digital retail data is analyzed using cohort criteria to identify a set of retail cohorts based on the set of retail attributes. The cohort criteria specify at least one retail attribute from the set of retail attributes for each cohort in the set of retail cohorts. Thereafter, a set of retail cohorts are generated. The retail cohorts have members selected from the population of retail customers, and have the at least one retail attribute in common.

A computer hardware-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product identifies a null set of synthetic event containing electronic files in a database of electronic files. A synthetic event, which is a non-executable descriptor of a set of context-related factors, is created. A context-based search of a database of electronic files is performed to identify a synthetic event containing electronic file that includes the synthetic event. In response to determining that there are no electronic files in the database of electronic files that contain the synthetic event, a set of binary data is transmitted/broadcast. The set of binary data includes a notice that there are no synthetic event electronic files in the database of electronic files.

Biometric data, which identifies a set of biometric patterns, is received from a set of biometric sensors. The biometric data is processed to form digital biometric data that identifies attributes of the biometric data. Thereafter, a biometric cohort is generated using the digital biometric data. Each member of the set of biometric cohorts shares at least one biometric attribute in common.

A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product navigates through a database. A non-contextual data object, which ambiguously relates to multiple subject-matters, is associated with a context object to define a synthetic context-based object. The context object provides a context that identifies a specific subject-matter, from the multiple subject-matters, of the non-contextual data object. The synthetic context-based object is associated with a first data node and a second data node within a database. In response to receiving a request for identifying and retrieving data from a data node that has a same context as the first data node, data from the second data node is retrieved.

A computer-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product detects contaminants in a pipe that is transporting a known fluid. A baseline vibration pattern is established from readings generated by a smart sensor that is affixed to the pipe. This baseline vibration pattern is caused by a flow of the known fluid as the known fluid travels through the pipe in an unadulterated form. Subsequent readings from the smart sensor are taken to generate a new vibration pattern. In response to the new vibration pattern being different, beyond a predefined range, from the baseline vibration pattern, the new vibration pattern is matched to a known vibration pattern in order to identify a specific contaminant of the known fluid.

A computer-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product evaluates a real-time condition of a construct of an airport runway. A processor receives a set of temporally-spaced runway vibrations. This set of temporally-spaced runway vibrations is measured by a set of smart sensors on an airport runway after a landing aircraft touches down on the airport runway. Using data that describes the set of temporally-spaced runway vibrations as inputs to an analysis algorithm, a real-time physical condition of a construct of the airport runway is determined.

A device for generating a born encrypted optical file includes a photovoltaic matrix for converting an optical image into a digital file. The digital file is a collection of digital data that has not been processed by any image processing logic and thus cannot be used to directly generate a reproduced image of the object. An encryption logic converts the digital file into an encrypted digital file that can be exported from the device to an authorized device to create a decrypted digital file. This decrypted digital file is capable of being used by a display logic to display an image of the object.

A Lab On a Chip (LOC) has a Sample Preparation Module (SPM) coupled to a sample inlet, a microchannel coupled to the SPM, and an optic module optically proximate to the microchannel. The optic module holds multiple lenses, each of which has a different effective focal length, such that all fields of focus within the microchannel are covered as objects suspended within the liquid sample pass through the microchannel.
