Abstract: A device, system, and method for maintaining temperature control of a distribution item, or of the contents of a distribution item, as the distribution item moves through the distribution network. A container housing an item can include a cooling unit, a heating unit, or both, and control circuitry including a temperature sensor. The control circuitry activates the cooling unit or heating unit as required to maintain the item at a desired temperature or within a desired temperature range.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to information security by identifying unique or related factors in common between individuals subject to a common threat vector. Data mining and data acquisition of public and non-public user information is performed to prevent, disrupt, and/or address criminal, cyber, and fraudulent threats. The information can be normalized into template(s) to align information across disparate datasets and enable efficient storage of the big data into appropriate fields to be tracked. The information can be stored in data warehouse(s) or in multidimensional data structure(s) for investigation if a threat vector against a group of individuals is detected. The multidimensional data can be analyzed to identify direct connections, common connecting entities, and/or connectivity clusters between individuals who were attacked or who may be attacked in the future.

Abstract: A centralized network environment is provided for processing validated executable data based on authorized hash outputs. In particular, the system may generate cryptographic hash outputs of code or software that has been evaluated (e.g., within a virtual environment). The system may then store the hash outputs within a hash database which may be accessible by multiple entity networks, where multiple entities may upload hash output values to and/or retrieve hash output values from the hash database. Based on the data within the hash database, each entity may efficiently identify code that may be safe or unsafe to execute on certain computing systems within its network environment. The system may further comprise an artificial intelligence-powered component which may be configured to detect patterns within code that has been identified by the system as unsafe and provide notifications containing systems likely to be affected and recommended countermeasures.

Abstract: An electronic device, for each media content item of a plurality of media content items, receives a respective score for each of a first set of objectives and a second set of objectives and generates a respective score between a user and the media content item. The generating includes applying a first ordered weighted average to the respective scores for the first set of objectives, to produce a first combined score for the first set of objectives, applying a second ordered weighted average to the respective scores for the second set of objectives, to produce a second combined score for the second set of objectives and applying a third ordered weighted average to the combined score for the first set of objectives and the second set of objectives. The electronic device provides media content to the user based on the respective scores between the user and the media content items.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to account lineage tracking and automatically executing responsive actions upon detecting an account lineage. A computing platform may receive a first account-change message from a source-level interceptor. The first account-change message may include information identifying a source account associated with a first computing device and identifying a first target account. The first target account may be associated with a target application configured to access the target database. The computing platform may receive a second account-change message from a database-level interceptor. The second account-change message may include information identifying the first target account as a database-level source account and identifying a second target account associated with one or more target databases.

Abstract: A header assembly includes a header housing and contact modules coupled to the header housing each having a frame assembly with a signal leadframe and a dielectric frame. The dielectric frame includes mating portion extensions at a front of the dielectric frame. The signal leadframe includes mating portions extending forward from the mating portion extensions. Each contact module includes a ground shield having ground shrouds providing electrical shielding for the mating portions. Each ground shroud includes shroud walls forming a shroud cavity receiving the corresponding mating portion extension. Each ground shroud includes a shroud transition to vary a depth of the shroud cavity along a length of the ground shroud.

Abstract: An assembly provides electrical current to molten glass in a glass melting tank. The assembly includes a structure having an electrode that is in contact with the molten glass, and a fluid-cooled connection apparatus. The fluid-cooled connection apparatus includes a first connection element electrically connected to a current source and a second connection element electrically connected to the current source, where the first and second connection elements are spaced apart from each other; and an electrical cross-connect strut having a first end secured to the first connection element and a second end secured to the second connection element. The assembly also includes a bus bar electrically connected to the fluid-cooled connection apparatus and to an electrode. The current source provides a current to the molten glass via the structure and the electrode for heating the molten glass through resistive heating.

Abstract: A composite material for use as an electrode of an electrochemical cell comprises: a matrix that is provided by matrix particles that comprise an electrode active material; and a conductive fraction that is both electronically-conductive and ionically-conductive, the conductive fraction being provided by conductive particles that are distributed among the matrix particles. The conductive particles comprise either a material that is both ionically- and electronically-conductive; or a mixture of ionically-conductive particles and electronically-conductive particles, the electronically-conductive particles having a sphericity of at least 0.6. The conductive particles have a D90 value that is at least 10% of the D50 value of the matrix particles.

Abstract: A remote patient monitoring system and method collects patient healthcare information to create a digital healthcare representation. The remote patient monitoring system communicatively couples various medical devices through a remote healthcare gateway (RHG) to a cloud-base management server, so that the output of those medical devices may be integrated into the digital healthcare representation in real-time. A subset of the digital healthcare representation is used to generate a replicate model which is communicatively coupled to a third party cloud component.

Abstract: A virtual environment system for validating using accelerated time-based process execution 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. The set of commands or processes may be executed on an accelerated-time basis such that processes that would be executed on a longer timeline may be executed at a greater speed (e.g., a shorter timeline). In this way, the system may securely detect the presence of latent defects or issues that may arise from executing the code on a long-term basis.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to improving user responses to cyber security threats. A computing platform may generate a test communication to simulate a potential cyber threat activity. Then, the computing platform may send, via the communication interface, the test communication to a user device associated with a target user. Then, the computing platform may receive, via the communication interface and from the user device, a response to the test communication. Subsequently, the computing platform may determine, based on the response, a threat awareness level for the target user, where the threat awareness level is indicative of a susceptibility of the target user to the potential cyber threat activity. Then, the computing platform may send, to the target user and based on the threat awareness level, an alert notification to counter the cyber threat activity.
