Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to monitor media are disclosed. An example apparatus includes at least one memory, machine-readable instructions, and at least one processor to execute the machine-readable instructions to at least establish a direct media network as a Group Owner after performance of a negotiation process with a streaming client device. The at least one processor is to add a client device to the direct media network based on a beacon response from the streaming client device and, after metadata is extracted from first media at the apparatus, cause transmission of the first media to a media presentation device via the direct media network, the metadata representative of an identification of the media, and cause transmission of a message including the identification of the media to a server via a network to credit the media as having been accessed based on the identification.

The customizable interactive planogram software helps operating room staff arrange the instrument trays on the vertical rack assembly according to a predetermined customizable location ID, and create/load/access information related to the surgical procedure/trays/instruments before, during, and after the surgery.
Abstract: An anchor includes a frame assembly and a removable cover plug. The frame assembly includes an access frame having a bottom and a wall defining an upper opening and a cavity therein, a first flexible seal extends above the upper opening of the wall, and at least one vertical member is in communication with the cavity of the access frame. The plug is operable for covering opening in the access frame. The plug includes a platform for supporting synthetic turf on the platform. When the plug is removed, at least one stanchion of a base, a home plate, a double base, or a pitcher's rubber is engageable with the vertical member.

Abstract: An electrical junction box cover plate assembly with an electrical junction box and a cover attachment bar. Each end of the cover attachment bar has an attachment screw aperture that aligns with a mounting screw aperture of the electrical junction box. A cover plate has an upper side with a cavity, an annular lip extending inward into the cavity, and at least two entry ports extending through the annular lip, each configured to receive one of the two ends of the cover attachment bar. When the ends of the cover attachment bar are inserted into the entry ports, the cover plate is rotatable with respect to the cover attachment bar and the electrical junction box to interlock extensions of the two ends with the annular lip of the cover plate to conceal the electrical junction box, the cover attachment bar, and the screws.

Abstract: According to implementations of the present disclosure, there is provided a solution for auto-formatting of a data table. A computer-implemented method comprises obtaining values of at least one attribute for a plurality of cells in a data table, the values of the at least one attribute indicating at least one of a semantic meaning of data filled in the cells or a structure of the data table, the cells being arranged in rows and columns in the data table; extracting a feature representation of the values of the at least one attribute In using a first learning network; and determining respective formats for the cells based on the feature representation using at least the first learning network. In this way, it is possible to implement automatic mapping from attribute settings of cells to cell formats by using a learning network, thereby achieving auto-formatting of the data table.

Abstract: A potty training system includes a base, a platform, a basin and a topper. In a first configuration, the platform is installed on top of the base, the basin is supported by its support flange on the platform so as to occupy a central hole of the platform, and the topper is installed on top of the platform and basin. The platform, basin and topper are keyed to each other. An inner surface of a basin pour spout intentionally is spaced from an outer surface of a downwardly depending topper ring. Instead of keying to the inner surface of the basin pour spout, the topper has a downwardly extending blade that is received in a blade receptacle spaced from an inner margin of the platform. In a second configuration, the base is inverted and used as a step, the basin and platform are not used and the topper is placed to span an adult toilet seat.

Abstract: A PON system includes both a PON via which optical services are delivered and a wireless network overlaying the PON. The wireless network may be a self-organizing wireless mesh network, and may generally operate as a logical signaling pathway via which information regarding optical states/statuses of PON components and/or related information is delivered from the field to back-end servers of the PON system. Accordingly, the system may include multiple in-common nodes (e.g., OLTs, LMTUs, etc.) which are included in both the PON and the wireless network. Based on optical information received via the wireless network, the servers can localize the physical location of a PON fault to a particular geographical region of multiple regions serviced by the PON (in some cases narrowing the fault's physical location to a particular span, FDH, or optical terminal), and may dispatch a technician directly to the localized physical location to address the fault.

Abstract: A system and method for intrusion detection on automotive controller area networks. The system and method can detect various CAN attacks, such as attacks that cause unintended acceleration, deactivation of vehicle's brakes, or steering the vehicle. The system and method detects changes in nuanced correlations of CAN timeseries signals and how they cluster together. The system reverse engineers CAN signals and detect masquerade attacks by analyzing timeseries extracted from raw CAN frames. Specifically, anomalies in the CAN data can be detected by computing timeseries clustering similarity using hierarchical clustering on the vehicle's CAN signals and comparing the clustering similarity across CAN captures with and without attacks.

Abstract: An access point that provides a transition recommendation is described. This access point may provide a first WLAN having a first capability. During operation, the access point may associate with the electronic device. Moreover, the access point may determine that the electronic device has a second capability that is different from the first capability. For example, the first capability may include compatibility with a first IEEE 802.11 standard and the second capability may include compatibility with a second IEEE 802.11 standard. Next, the access point may provide the transition recommendation addressed to the electronic device based at least in part on the difference in the first capability and the second capability, where the transition recommendation recommends that the electronic device transition from the first WLAN to a second WLAN that has the second capability.
