Abstract: Traditional home-automation systems utilize a single hub for controlling secondary devices within a home. The techniques described herein, meanwhile, utilize multiple hubs within the environment and/or located remotely from the environment. For instance, an environment may include multiple electronic devices, each configured to control one or more secondary devices within the environment. In addition, a remote service may be configured to control one or more secondary devices within the environment. As such, each controlling device stores and executes an instance of a control engine, rather than relying on a single instance of a control engine located at a single controlling hub.

Abstract: A bottle comprising: a body having a closed bottom and an open neck; a plurality of protrusions extending outward radially from an outer surface of the neck; a cap having internal threads for screwing onto the open neck; wherein the internal threads engage the plurality of protrusions when the cap is screwed onto the neck.

Abstract: A system for refining one or more synthetic network traffic models is provided. The system generates synthetic network traffic data by applying a deterministic generative rule set to generate at least part of the synthetic network traffic data and applying a probabilistic generative model to generate at least part of the synthetic network traffic data. The system generates an assessment of the generated synthetic network traffic data by applying a deterministic discriminative rule set to the synthetic network traffic data and by applying a discriminative classifier model to the synthetic network traffic data. The system updates one or both of the probabilistic generative model and the discriminative classifier model based on the generated assessment.

Abstract: Systems and methods for recovering passwords from a hash value input are provided. A password space may be segmented into password sets, and a digest set may be generated for each password set. Probabilistic data structures representing the digest sets may be generated. One of the probabilistic data structures may be queried with the hash value input to determine whether the hash value input is likely included in the digest sets. In response to the hash value input being determined to be likely included in the digest set, the passwords constituting the password set corresponding to the digest set may be regenerated, and the hash values constituting the digest set may be regenerated. The generated hash values may be compared to the hash value input to determine a hash value from the digest set that matches the hash value input to recover the password associated with the matched hash value.

Abstract: A folding vehicle is adjustable between an unfolded position and a folded position. In the unfolded position, the wheels of the vehicle are in a leading and trailing relationship. In the folded position, the components of the folding vehicle have a minimal footprint allowing for compact storage. In the folded position, the wheels may be in a side-by-side relationship with the majority of the vehicle components positioned between the wheels.

Abstract: The present invention provides a patient inhalation/exhalation device such as a spirometer, respiratory inhaler or spacer, the device comprising: at least one aperture for inlet or outlet of air into/from the device; a mouthpiece for communication with the mouth of the patient; and a body defining an air flow path extending between the aperture and the mouthpiece along which air is drawn to the mouthpiece by inhalation by the patient or air is forced towards the aperture by exhalation by the patient.

Abstract: Techniques for identifying and/or classifying genomic information are provided. In some embodiments, genomic information may be identified by computing systems without access to a database of reference genomic information, instead relying on locally stored probabilistic data structures representing reference genomic information. Query genomic data, such as data taken from a read-set, may be divided into sub-strings, and each of the locally-stored probabilistic data structures may be queried by each of the extracted sub-strings, generating probabilistic outputs indicating either that (a) the sub-string is probably included in the set of data represented by the probabilistic data structure or (b) the sub-string is definitely not included in the set of data. Based on the number and/or proportion of sub-strings from a read-set that are indicated as being likely represented by a probabilistic data structure, a likely identity or classification for the genomic information in the read-set may be determined.
