    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for interacting with an Application Programming Interface (API) using a digital signature. In one embodiment, a system comprises one or more processors that execute the instructions to perform operations. The operations comprise receiving a digital signature from a requesting device, the digital signature comprising an array of one or more bits, wherein each position in the array is associated with a field in the database and with the data stored in the field of an API; identifying one or more requested fields; accessing the database to retrieve the information associated with the one or more requested fields, the information being associated with at least one API; and providing instructions to the requesting device, based on the retrieved information, causing the requesting application to use the API.

  • Publication number: 20230086083
    Abstract: A method for generating a physical model of a path from GPS data. The method involves receiving GPS data defining a path from a GPS-enabled device and receiving a digital terrain model for an area that includes the path. An area of interest along the path is then identified and the GPS data associated with the area of interest is smoothed. The digital terrain model is sampled along the path and an elevation of the path is smoothed using a weighted average of the digital terrain model and the GPS data to create modified path data that is scaled to produce a first ribbon that is printed.

  • Patent number: 11528215
    Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable systems to perform ordered reconvergence operations following a change to a topology of a communications network. To perform ordered reconvergence, a system detects a change to network topology such as a link failure or node addition. In response, the system determines a global delay based on a maximum distance between two nodes within the network, a local delay for each node within the network, and an ordered delay for each node based on the global delay and the local delay. Upon detecting that the ordered delay for a node has elapsed, the system can then update a routing table for the node. After updating routing tables for every node, the system can route data in the changed network topology using the updated routing tables.

  • Patent number: 11491296
    Abstract: An autonomous aerial vehicle for ventilating persons. The ventilation becomes necessary as a result of fires, accidents, or medical emergencies. In these and comparable cases, the aerial vehicle aids for ventilating a person quickly and independently of the transport links of a location or the traffic situation at the time so the state of the person is stabilized until the arrival of an emergency doctor or other rescue workers and the chances of survival improves. The aerial vehicle provides positional determination inside and/or outside buildings, recording of the surrounding area, ventilation of at least one person, and a communication method or mechanism.

  • Patent number: 11468359
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to a failure policy. For example, in an implementation, storage device status data is encoded into storage device states. An action is chosen based on the storage device state according to a failure policy, where the failure policy prescribes, based on a probabilistic model, whether for a particular storage device state a corresponding action is to take no action or to initiate a failure mitigation procedure on a storage device. The failure policy is rewarded according to a timeliness of choosing to initiate the failure mitigation procedure relative to a failure of the storage device.
