Abstract: An embodiment includes a method to increase the efficiency of security checkpoint operations. A security checkpoint kiosk serves as a Relying Party System (RPS). The RPS establishes a secure local connection between the RPS and a User Mobile-Identification-Credential Device (UMD). The RPS sends a user information request to the UMD, via the secure local connection, seeking release of user information associated with a Mobile Identification Credential (MIC). The RPS obtains authentication of the user information received in response to the user information request. The RPS retrieves user travel information based on the user information. The RPS determines that the user travel information matches the user information. When the user travel information matches the user information, the RPS approves the user to proceed past the security checkpoint kiosk.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automated remediation of issues arising in a data management storage system are provided. Deployed assets of a storage solution vendor may deliver telemetry data to the vendor on a regular basis. The received telemetry data may be processed by an AIOps platform to perform predictive analytics and arrive at “community wisdom” from the vendor's installed user base. In one embodiment, an insight-based approach is used to facilitate risk detection and remediation including proactively addressing issues before they turn into more serious problems. For example, based on continuous learning based on the community wisdom and making one or both of a rule set and a remediation set derived therefrom available for use by cognitive computing co-located with a customer's storage system, a risk to which the storage system is exposed may be determined and a corresponding remediation may be deployed to address or mitigate the risk.

Abstract: A system includes a millimeter (MM) wave radar detector, where the MM wave radar detector generates signal data associated with a person of interest (POI) within a field of view of the MM wave radar detector. The system further includes an Access Point (AP) coupled with the MM wave radar detector. The AP includes a computing device to receive and analyze the signal data provided by the MM wave radar detector to determine a movement of the POI within an environment, and facilitate generation of a feedback response in response to the determined movement or action of the POI within the environment.

Abstract: A panel assembly for installation onto a track beam including a beam flange having a non-linear edge is disclosed. The panel assembly includes a panel and a lockable catch moveably connected to the panel. The lockable catch includes a lockable mating edge configured to selectively mate with the non-linear edge of the beam flange of the track beam. The lockable catch also includes a lockable catch edge extending beyond the lockable mating edge. The lockable catch is moveable on a lower surface of the panel between an unlocked position and a locked position. In the unlocked position the lockable catch edge is retracted. In the locked position, the lockable mating edge mates with the non-linear edge of the beam flange and the lockable catch edge retains the panel on the track beam.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for advanced electrode management in neurological monitoring applications include receiving sockets configured to receive connectors having groups of electrodes. The physician is not required to manually map each electrode with its corresponding input channel. Electrodes are coupled to the corresponding input channels in groups through connectors having a unique identification (ID). The system is configured to read the unique ID of each connector and establish its identity. Based on the ID, the system configures itself to automatically correlate or associate each electrode with its corresponding input channel when the connectors are first inserted into the receiving sockets, and again if the connectors are removed and re-inserted into different positions in the receiving sockets, to insure the electrodes are always mapped to the same input channels.
