Abstract: A network of wireless remote climate sensors in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system permits the creation of personalized microclimates within an enclosed space. In addition to collecting temperature and humidity data, the wireless remote climate sensors can detect whether the enclosed space is occupied by a human. Human detection is made possible by optional cameras, microphones, and gas sensors on the wireless remote climate sensors. As the human moves throughout the enclosed space, the HVAC system is able to track the human's movement using the wireless remote climate sensors. The HVAC system may adjust airflow to different portions of the enclosed space based on the human's location. The result is an efficient use of system resources to keep users at their ideal temperature.

Abstract: A system and method that given one or more input molecules, produces a contextualized summary of characteristics of related target molecules, e.g., proteins. Using a knowledge graph which is populated with all known molecules, input molecules are analyzed according to various similarity indexes which relate the input molecules to target proteins or other biological entities. The knowledge graph may also comprise scientific literature, governmental data (FDA clinical phase data), private research endeavors (general assays, etc.), and other related biological data. The summary produced may comprise target proteins that satisfy certain biological properties, general assay results (ADMET characteristics), related diseases, off-target molecule interactions (non-targeted molecules involved in a specific pathway or cascade), market opportunities, patents, experiments, and new hypothesis.

Abstract: A processing service of a provider network may protect media content from being tampered with when it is transmitted from the provider network/transcoder to untrusted networks (e.g., third-party networks/CDNs) and to a media player. The processing service (e.g., the transcoder) generates a public and a private key. The service uses the private key to digitally sign content portions (e.g., video frames) before distribution to untrusted CDNs. The provider network creates a manifest that includes the public key. To play the media content, the media player obtains a manifest that includes the public key (via a secure/trusted connection with the provider network). The media player may then obtain the media content from an untrusted edge server/CDN and validate it using the public key that was separately obtained from the manifest (to verify the content was not tampered with).

Abstract: The present technology relates to identifying an artificial intelligence model based on a received first key value to write a received first block of data associated with a file. The received first key value is applied to the identified artificial intelligence model which is trained to output one of a plurality of actual index values where the identified artificial intelligence model and the plurality of data blocks are stored as a neural tree. The one of the actual index values is compared to a range within the actual index values to determine when the one of the actual index value points to a first data block of the plurality of data. The received first block of data associated with the file is written into the determined first data block.
