Abstract: A cross-domain device includes a memory with a shared memory region. The device further includes a first interface to couple to a first device over a first interconnect, where the first device implements a first domain, and includes a second interface to couple to a second device over a second interconnect, where the second device implements a second domain, and the first domain is independent of the second domain. The cross-domain device is to create a buffer in the shared memory region to allow writes by a first software module in the first domain and reads by a second software module in the second domain, and use the buffer to implement a memory-based communication link between the first software module and the second software module.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device executing a first portion of a distributed application extracts label information from sensor data sent to the device by a sensor that indicates the sensor as a source of the sensor data and one or more data governance policies applicable to the sensor data. The device performs, based on the label information, a first data transformation of the distributed application on the sensor data using stored data, to form transformed data. The device forms combined label information for the transformed data by appending the label information with additional label information associated with the stored data and adding an indication of the first data transformation. The device provides the transformed data and combined label information to a remote device executing another portion of the distributed application.

Abstract: A patient interface can have a first body that rests on a first portion of a face of a patient, a second body that rests on a second portion of the face of the patient, and a bridge linking the first and second bodies. The patient interface can have an attachment structure that couples with a complementary fixation structure positioned on the face of the patient to secure the patient interface to the face. The fixation structure can include an adhesive to adhere the fixation structure, and thus the attached patient interface, to the face. The fixation structure can have an edge that is shaped to reduce the tendency for the fixation structure to be lifted off the face when the patient interface is detached from the face.

Abstract: A system and method that manages charging of Electric Vehicles (EVs) at a depot equipped with EV chargers. For each EV arriving at the depot, data is collected from the EV including a current state of charge (SoC), an SoC goal, a route estimate, and a charging schedule. A depot controller determines from the collected data a charging priority for the EV relative to other EVs at the depot. When charging is required to meet the SoC goal of the EV, a charger is selected for charging the EV and a charging start time and charging duration is determined by an optimization algorithm that concurrently optimizes a minimal total cost of electricity for total power transferred to the EV during charging while maximizing a probability of the EV leaving the depot with its SoC goal satisfied.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer programs for selecting candidate images for a power line inspection process are proposed. The method comprises receiving an image of an infrastructure acquired by a camera included in a flying object; tagging the received image with GNSS metadata including a GPS location of the camera and a pose of the camera based on IMU values of the flying object; executing a first-decision criterion that determines whether a GPS location of a power tower is comprised within a 2D projection captured in the image using a list of possible GPS power tower locations and a FOV, the pose, and/or the GPS location of the camera; executing a second-decision criterion that determines whether a power tower is included in the tagged image using the tagged image; selecting/discarding the received image as candidate image by executing a ruled based fuzzy decision system that combines the result of the two criterions.

Abstract: A method for changing a vertical lifted-out state of a carrier vehicle parked on a ground surface, for a lifting device having a supporting system with support legs and a controller for controlling drives of the support legs. The method including calculating a sequence of control commands for sequential and time-limited control of the drives for changing the vertical lifted-out state while maintaining the instantaneous inclination of the carrier vehicle and/or the lifting device within a predetermined range for an inclination deviation.
