  • Publication number: 20210099302
    Abstract: A method includes determining a password-length threshold. The password-length threshold may comprise an integer. The method also includes obtaining, for a first user, a set of nucleotide locations. The number of nucleotide locations in the set may be greater than or equal to the integer. The method also includes obtaining a first sample of the user's DNA. The method also includes determining, in the first sample, a nucleotide at each nucleotide location in the set of nucleotide locations, resulting in a first nucleotide-password sequence. The method also includes performing a one-way hashing operation on the first nucleotide-password sequence with a first hashing algorithm, resulting in a first hashed password.

  • Publication number: 20210090294
    Abstract: In an approach to estimating product inventory count, one or more computer processors receive one or more images of one or more products residing on a product storage location from an image capturing device. Based on the received images, one or more computer processors determine a count of the one or more products. One or more computer processors determine a confidence in the count of the one or more products. In response to determining the confidence is below a threshold, one or more computer processors calculate a recommended position of the image capturing device to produce an improved image of the one or more products. One or more computer processors transmit instructions to the image capturing device to move to the recommended position. One or more computer processors determine whether the image capturing device is in the recommended position.

  • Publication number: 20210090363
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for network managed rules for machine access. A request to access a machine is received from an operator. One or more machine access rules are identified for a machine and an operator who will operate the machine for a company in a location, where each of the one or more machine access rules includes variable criteria. Data for the variable criteria of the one or more machine access rules is obtained from one or more of: a machine profile of the machine, an operator profile of the operator, a company profile of the company, and environmental data for the location. The data is applied to the variable criteria of the one or more machine access rules to determine whether to provide the operator with access to the machine at the location. An indication of whether the operator has access to the machine at the location is determined.

  • Publication number: 20210085500
    Abstract: Real-time cast sensor measurement outputs of a set of cast sensors that each measure a characteristic related to usage of an adjustable removable cast worn by a patient during treatment of congenital talipes equino varus (CTEV) are monitored. A cast usage anomaly relative to a treatment program prescribed for the patient with respect to wearing of the adjustable removable cast is identified according to the real-time cast sensor measurement outputs. Responsive to identifying the cast usage anomaly, real-time corrective treatment feedback is provided to the patient that instructs further and proper use of the adjustable removable cast to improve compliance with the treatment program prescribed for the patient.

  • Publication number: 20200309757
    Abstract: A computer receives one or more user preferences regarding a product characteristic. The computer performs, using one or more sensors, product testing of a product to gather characteristic data of the product. The computer determines, using the characteristic data of the product, a measured characteristic value of the product. The computer compares the measured characteristic value with an expected characteristic value associated with the one or more user preferences. The computer determines, based on the comparison, a product suitability value for use by a user. The computer outputs, using the product suitability value, an indication whether the product is suitable for use by the user in accordance with the one or more user preferences.
