Abstract: Cyber threat defense systems and methods are provided. The system includes a network module, an analyzer module and a classifier. The network module ingests network data, which is provided to one or more machine learning models included in the analyzer module. Each machine learning model identifies metrics associated with the network data and outputs a score indicative of whether anomalous network data metrics are caused by a cyber threat. These output scores are provided to the classifier, which determines a probability that a cybersecurity breach has occurred.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to deduplication operations in a storage system. An example includes receiving a stream of data units to be stored in a persistent storage of a deduplication storage system; loading a first container index into the memory to index one or more data units included in the stream; updating the first container index to indicate a storage location of a first data unit included in the stream; reading a manifest list in the first container index to identify a first manifest indexed by the first container index; and, while the first container index remains loaded in the memory to index the one or more data units, in response to a determination that the identified first manifest is included in the first backup item that has been marked for deletion, decrementing a reference count of a second data unit.

Abstract: A double flexible optical circuit includes: a flexible substrate supporting a plurality of optical fibers; a first connector terminating the optical fibers at a first end of the double flexible optical circuit; and a second connector terminating the optical fibers at a second end of the double flexible optical circuit. Each of the optical fibers is positioned in one of a plurality of separate extensions formed by the flexible substrate as the optical fibers extend from the first connector to the second connector. The first and second connectors are configured to be tested when the first and second connectors are connected through the double flexible optical circuit. The double flexible optical circuit is configured to be divided in half once the testing is complete to form two separate flexible optical circuits.

Abstract: An automated guided vehicle (AGV) including a frame, ground-contacting elements connected to the frame for supporting the AGV and a heat shield is used in an automated sow casting facility. AGVs are adapted to get hold of, to move and to release moulds used for producing sows. A method of operating the casting facility involving AGVs to move moulds between stations is also described.

Abstract: A method for coating an optical substrate with an anti-reflection multilayered stack is provided. The method includes depositing a stack of dielectric layers having alternate index of refraction over a substrate, to form an anti-reflective coating. The method also includes depositing a first layer of low refractive index material on top of the stack of dielectric layers, etching the first layer of low refractive index material with a solvent at a selected temperature, and conformally depositing a sealant material over the first layer of low refractive index material to complete the anti-reflective coating. A headset for virtual reality, augmented reality, or mixed reality applications including optical components having an anti-reflection coating fabricated per the above method is also provided.

Abstract: An induction feed through system for treating a flow of material is disclosed, including a high voltage energy source energizing a low-turn coil wrapped about an outer wall of a reaction chamber. The flow of electricity through the low-turn coil in turn energizes a high-turn coil wrapped about an inner wall disposed within the outer wall of the reaction chamber. An electrode assembly disposed within the reaction chamber is electrically coupled to and energized by the high-turn coil, in turn generating plasma in the reaction chamber. The plasma is used to excite a flow of material through the induction feed through system. The electromagnetic properties of the plasma further provide direct feedback to the low-turn and high-turn coils.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of rinse-off conditioner compositions; in particular, relates to rinse-off conditioner compositions with improved conditioning benefits. Silicones are a commonly used conditioning agent and thus improved deposition of silicones is always desired. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide improved silicone deposition and also improved sensory of hair. It has been found that the above objects can be achieved by a conditioner composition comprising a specific combination of silicones.

Abstract: A device for treating tissue includes a clip including clip arms and a coupler. Each of the clip arms extends from a proximal end to a distal end. Proximal ends of the clip arms are slidably received within a channel of a capsule. A proximal end of the capsule includes openings extending through a wall. The coupler is mounted over the proximal end of the capsule via deployment arms including engaging features extending laterally inward from an interior surface thereof to engage the openings of the capsule. The coupler includes retention arms configured to engage a corresponding portion of an applicator. When a pre-determined compressive force is applied to the coupler, the deployment arms are proximally slidable along the corresponding portion of the applicator to deflect the deployment arms out of engagement with the capsule so that the coupler is separable from the capsule.

Also included is a second laminate sheet including an outer paper layer and a middle barrier layer joined with the outer layer, the middle barrier layer joined with an inner layer formed of a plastic material. The first laminate sheet is joined to the second laminate sheet to define a seal and a cavity. Recycled materials may be used in all of the layers of the laminate.

An example includes generating a housekeeping work map to delete a backup item stored in a deduplication storage system; selecting a first work entry of the housekeeping work map, where the first work entry identifies a first container index and a first manifest; in response to a selection of the first work entry, loading the first container index into the memory, the first container index comprising a back-reference data structure; identifying, in the back-reference data structure, a back-reference entry indexed to the first manifest; determining, using the back-reference entry indexed to the first manifest, a first set of data units included in the first manifest and that are indexed in the first container index; and decrementing, in the first container index, a set of reference counts for the determined first set of data units.

Abstract: Approaches are provided for a prediction model determining a prediction indicative of the authorized user being associated with at least one anomaly event. In one example, a computer system may receive data from different sources. For example, the system may receive data associated with use of one or more monitored units of an automated storage and retrieval location. The system may also receive request data associated with a request for execution of the monitored controlled unit by an authorized user to a target user. The prediction model of the system may utilize the received data to determine the prediction that the authorized user is associated with at least one anomaly event associated with a diversion of a monitored unit away from the target user. The system may then provide the prediction for presentation.
