Abstract: A method for operating and maintaining a wind farm comprising a plurality of wind turbines includes determining an odometer for one or more components of at least one of the pluralities of wind turbines in the wind farm, the odometer representing operational usage of the component(s). The method also includes tracking the operational usage for the component(s) using the odometer and a usage threshold. Further, the method includes predicting an expected time frame for one or more preventative maintenance actions based on a comparison of the tracked operational usage and the usage threshold. Moreover, the method includes triggering scheduling of the one or more preventative maintenance actions when the prediction indicates that the tracked operational usage will exceed the usage threshold. In addition, the method includes shutting down the wind turbine or idling the wind turbine once the one or more preventative maintenance actions are scheduled.

Abstract: Devices and methods for dynamic power configuration (e.g., reduction) for thermal management (e.g., mitigation) in a wearable electronic device such as an eyewear device. The wearable electronic device monitors its temperature and, responsive to the temperature, configures the services is provides to operate in different modes for thermal mitigation (e.g., to prevent overheating). For example, based on temperature, the wearable electronic device adjusts sensors (e.g., turns cameras on or off, changes the sampling rate, or a combination thereof) and adjusts display components (e.g., adjusted rate at which a graphical processing unit generates images and a visual display is updated). This enables the wearable electronic device to consume less power when temperatures are too high in order to provide thermal mitigation.

Abstract: A cross-coupled differential activated latch circuit with circuitry comprising a plurality of n-FETs and inverters that can be implemented completely in GaN. The circuitry prevents the digital latched values on the outputs of the latch from changing unless the digital input values on the inputs are different, thus preventing common-mode voltage on the inputs from corrupting the stored latch values.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of selectively authenticating a user using voice recognition and random representations. A credential that is received from an entity is compared to a reference credential associated with a user. The random representations are caused to be displayed to the entity based at least in part on the credential corresponding to the reference credential. Each random representation has a random entropy. A representation of speech of the entity is analyzed to determine whether a voice characterized by the speech corresponds to a voice profile that characterizes a voice of the user and to determine whether the speech includes a verbal identification of each random representation. The user is selectively authenticated based at least in part on whether the voice corresponds to the voice profile and further based at least in part on whether the speech includes the verbal identification of each random representation.

Abstract: A virtual environment system for validating executable data using authorized hash outputs is provided. In particular, the system may generate a virtual environment using a virtual environment device, where the virtual environment is logically and/or physically separated from other devices and/or environments within the network. The system may then open a specified set of executable data within the virtual environment and perform a set of commands or processes with respect to the executable data. If the system determines that the executable data is safe to run, the system may generate a hash output of the executable data and store the hash output in a database of approved executable data. In this way, the system may securely generate a repository of authorized hashes such that the system may ensure that only safely executable code is processed by the computing systems within the network environment.

Abstract: Embodiments of negative pressure wound therapy systems and methods for operating the systems are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system includes a negative pressure source, a wound dressing configured to be positioned over a wound, and optionally a canister configured to store fluid aspirated from the wound. The negative pressure source, wound dressing, and canister (when present) can be fluidically connected to facilitate delivery of negative pressure to the wound. The system can be configured to automatically detect whether the canister is positioned in the fluid flow path between the negative pressure source and the dressing while negative pressure source provides negative pressure to the wound dressing. Operation of the system can be adjusted based on whether presence of the canister has been detected. For example, a value of an operational parameter can be set to indicate that the canister is present.

Abstract: A virtual environment system for validating executable data using authorized hash outputs is provided. In particular, the system may generate a virtual environment using a virtual environment device, where the virtual environment is logically and/or physically separated from other devices and/or environments within the network. The system may then open a specified set of executable data within the virtual environment and perform a set of commands or processes with respect to the executable data.

Abstract: A system already on a network may be analyzed when the system takes an action or may be periodically reviewed. The analysis of the system may include the creation of an environment hash for the system, which is a representation of the configuration (e.g., hardware, software, or the like) of the system, and a comparison with hash requirements. The hash requirements may be stored authorized hashes, stored unauthorized hashes, past hashes for the same system, hashes for other systems with the same or similar configurations, or the like. When the environment hash of the system meets hash requirements, the system may be allowed to continue to operate on the system or may be allowed to take the action on the network. When the hash of the system fails to meet a hash requirement, the system may be isolated from the network and investigated for a non-compliant configuration.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining an Automated Vehicle (AV) trajectory are described. More particularly, a method for determining an AV trajectory proceeds by communicatively coupling an AV content generating device to an AV system controller. The AV content generating device collects target data associated with a target. The AV system controller extracts target features from the target data. The AV system controller compares the extracted target features to target model data to determine a target pose. The AV system controller compares the target pose with at least one target objective to determine an AV trajectory.

The single drain wire is located at a second side of the core insulation layer of one of the pair of insulated core wires facing away from the other of the pair of insulated core wires in a radial direction.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples, are methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums for identifying security vulnerabilities across a plurality of access control policies. An administrator of the computing resource may be alerted to these vulnerabilities to allow the administrator to craft a policy, or modify an existing policy, to close these security gaps. In other examples, the system may automatically suggest and/or apply a modification to an existing policy or a new access control policy that closes the security gaps. The vulnerabilities may be determined based upon a comparison of the access control policy criteria in the previously set access control policies and a set of possible values of access control signals to determine access scenarios that are not covered by the access control policies.
