Abstract: A method for writing with a DIRE (data integration and routing engine) controller may comprise receiving, by an application protocol interface (API) server, data from an end-user, and splitting, by the API server, the data in multiple ways based on directives contained in a data privacy and handling policy of a user, wherein the splitting includes using a hashing algorithm to create a key representing a document of the data. The data may be processed through the DIRE controller. For example, the DIRE controller may tag the key with geolocation information for future retrieval; the DIRE controller may route the data to a server in a geolocation based on the geolocation information; and the DIRE controller may maintain a key-value pair database that maps the key to the geolocation of the document for later retrieval. The disclosure also includes a system or method for reading with a DIRE controller.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods relating to the offline protection of secrets. A secret may be encrypted using a public key provided by the client. The client may have obtained the public key from a cryptographic hardware device, wherein the private key of the cryptographic key pair may be bound to the cryptographic hardware device. The encrypted secret may be transmitted by a service to the client using a secured or an unsecured transmission method. In some examples, the service may transmit a subsequent encrypted secret, which may invalidate a previously encrypted secret. In order to authenticate with the service, the client may select an encrypted secret for decryption. The client may access the private key stored by the cryptographic device and decrypt the encrypted secret with the private key. The client may then use the decrypted secret to authenticate with the service.

Abstract: The technology relates to identifying and addressing aberrant driver behavior. Various driving operations may be evaluated over different time scales and driving distances. The system can detect driving errors and suboptimal maneuvering, which are evaluated by an onboard driver assistance system and compared against a model of expected driver behavior. The result of this comparison can be used to alert the driver or take immediate corrective driving action. It may also be used for real-time or offline training or sensor calibration purposes. The behavior model may be driver-specific, or may be a nominal driver model based on aggregated information from many drivers. These approaches can be employed with drivers of passenger vehicles, busses, cargo trucks and other vehicles.

Abstract: Computing and communication systems and methods include one or more servers communicatively coupled with a computing device through a telecommunications network. In implementations one or more data stores are communicatively coupled with the server(s). One or more user interfaces displayed on the computing device display a website provided by the server(s) and accessed using a browser. A file selector is displayed on the website.

Abstract: A method of video decoding performed in a video decoder is disclosed. A syntax element can be received from a bitstream of a coded video. The syntax element can indicate that residual blocks of a current coding unit (CU) are processed with a color space conversion. The residual blocks of the current CU can include a luma residual block, a first chroma residual block, and a second chroma residual block. In response to receiving the syntax element indicating that the residual blocks of the current CU are processed with the color space conversion, one of two options of color space conversion equations can be selected. An inverse color space conversion using the selected option of color space conversion equations can be applied to the residual blocks of the current CU to generate modified versions of the residual blocks of the current CU.

Abstract: The present invention is a cannabidiol oral dosage form including predominantly or exclusively hemp pomace that has been co-fermented with a complex fungi, compounded as a tablet or formulated within a capsule. The dosage forms contain dietary fiber, important to activity as the desired delivery system, having a ratio of at least one part soluble dietary fiber to 30 parts insoluble dietary fiber, and delivers desirable/non hallucinogenic cannabinoids (CBD, CBG) in a ratio of 60:1 up to 120:1 to hallucinogenic cannabinoids (THC).

Abstract: The present invention is a novel and enhanced co-fermentation product of hemp and Cannabis, in which 1 part shredded or divided hemp stems, leaves and flowers are admixed into a slurry with 2 parts water and the slurry is sterilized prior to inoculation with solid or liquid mycelium culture. After inoculation, fermentation takes place at 66-70 degrees F. for 14-28 days, followed by drying of the fermented admixture at 110-165 degrees F. for 24-48 hours, prior to co-minuting or powdering the dried end product for incorporation in oral dosage forms such as pressed tablets, manufactured capsules or powder or as an ingredient in functional foods. By following these method steps including the initial creation of the 2:1 aqueous:hemp slurry, both hemp and mushroom component conversions occur to an unexpected degree.

The load control system is operable to automatically return to the energy-savings mode at a time after the load control system entered the manual mode.

Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to dynamically and temporarily adjusting power to an NFC reader of a computing device from a first power level to a second power level based on a feedback mechanism between a contactless card and the computing device. The contactless card may provide a message containing a checksum. The computing device may receive the message and calculate a checksum based on the received message. By comparing these two checksums, it may be determined whether the entire message has been correctly received. If not, the power to the NFC reader may be temporarily increased to allow better communication between the contactless card and the computing device.
