Abstract: Provided are devices, compositions, and methods for surface disinfection and decontamination; the devices generally adapted to contain a single or multi-component indicator composition, and optionally a disinfectant composition, and to dispense the indicator composition and optional disinfectant composition to a disinfectant solution, a surface, or a disinfectant article upon actuation of the device; also provided is an article of manufacture in the form of a removable cartridge adapted to fit a device described here, which may be pre-filled with a single or multi-component indicator composition as described here, and/or with a disinfectant composition, and one or more optional additives.

Abstract: An improved search operation includes receiving, by a server computing device, an encrypted search query and cleartext metadata associated with the encrypted search query from a client computing device; performing a search using the encrypted search query to generate encrypted search results; and sending the encrypted search results to the client computing device.

Abstract: An apparatus to facilitate optimization of a convolutional neural network (CNN) is disclosed. The apparatus includes optimization logic to receive a CNN model having a list of instructions and including pruning logic to optimize the list of instructions by eliminating branches in the list of instructions that comprise a weight value of 0.

Abstract: A method comprises receiving, from an input device, an input speech signal, encoding the input speech signal to generate a first homomorphically encrypted string, sending the homomorphically encrypted string to a remote device via communication link, receiving, from the remote device, a reply comprising a second homomorphically encrypted string, decoding the second homomorphically encrypted string into an output speech signal, and outputting the output speech signal on an audio output device.

Abstract: A method comprises receiving, from a remote device, a first encrypted data set encrypted using a first encryption scheme, performing a set of computations on the first encrypted data set to generate a first set of encrypted results, encrypting the first set of encrypted results using a second encryption scheme to generate a second set of encrypted results, sending the second set of encrypted results to the remote device, receiving, from the remote device, third set of encrypted results in which the first encryption scheme has been decrypted, and generating a set of decrypted results by applying a decryption algorithm to the third set of encrypted results to decrypt the second encryption scheme.

Abstract: An apparatus to facilitate workload scheduling is disclosed. The apparatus includes one or more clients, one or more processing units to processes workloads received from the one or more clients, including hardware resources and scheduling logic to schedule direct access of the hardware resources to the one or more clients to process the workloads.

Abstract: A system and method of interfacing a drilling machine with one of a number of different walk-over guidance systems involves receiving an ID signal from a particular walk-over guidance system selected for use with the drilling machine. A protocol library associated with the particular walk-over guidance system is accessed in response to the ID signal. The protocol library is used to effect communication between the particular walk-over guidance system and a control system of the drilling machine during cooperative use of the particular walk-over guidance system and drilling machine. Using the protocol library involves converting, as prescribed by the protocol library, locator signals received from the particular walk-over guidance system from a locator protocol to a common protocol used by the control system of the drilling machine. Locator and drilling machine data of various types can be presented to a drilling machine operator via an on-board display.
