Abstract: A method includes acquiring blockchain data that includes transactions between a plurality of blockchain addresses. The method includes labeling a set of the blockchain addresses as fraudulent and generating a graph data structure based on the blockchain data. The method includes calculating a set of scoring features for each blockchain address, where each set of scoring features includes a graph-based scoring feature. Calculating the graph-based scoring feature includes calculating a number of transactions associated with the blockchain address in the graph data structure. The method includes generating a scoring model using sets of scoring features for the blockchain addresses that are labeled as fraudulent and generating a trust score for each blockchain address using the scoring features and the scoring model. The trust score indicates a likelihood that the blockchain address is involved in fraudulent activity. Additionally, the method includes sending a requested trust score to a requesting device.

Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein for semi receiver side write training in a non-volatile memory system. The transmitting device has delay taps that control the delay between a data strobe signal and data signals sent on the communication bus. The delay taps on the transmitting device are more precise that can typically be fabricated on the receiving device (e.g., NAND memory die). However, the receiving device performs the comparisons between test data and expected data, which alleviates the need to read back the test data. After the different delays have been tested, the receiving device informs the transmitting device of the shortest and longest delays for which data was validly received. The transmitting device then sets the delay taps based on this information. Moreover, the write training can be performed in parallel on many receiving devices, which is very efficient.

Abstract: A PVC-based cover strip designed to bond to non-PVC materials as well as PVC materials includes a PVC layer coated with a barrier effective to prevent migration of plasticizers from the PVC layer. The barrier layer, in turn, is coated with a primer and subsequently a pressure-sensitive adhesive. The barrier layer is generally a polar polymer, such as acrylonitrile rubber which resists migration of phthalate plasticizers. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is a pressure-sensitive adhesive suitable for use in roofing applications.
Abstract: A floating shelf system for a desk provides floating shelf brackets with plates mounted to both sides of a stud in a wall. A beam extends from the plates and have a fork with a pair of prongs secured along side the plates. The beam and the prongs are formed by a pair of outer square tubes and a center rectangular tube. The tubes form a rectangular and oblong cross-section with a pair of webs.
Abstract: A trailer maneuver assistance system and method provide for alerting a vehicle operator to possible obstacles within a predicted path of trailer. The predicted path is determined based on at least one sensor system mounted to the trailer and a determination that a detected obstacle is within the predicted path.
Abstract: An autonomous delivery system for a vehicle is described and includes a plurality of cubbies for retaining items for delivery to users, wherein each of the cubbies comprises a door for selectively enabling access to contents of the cubby, wherein each of the doors comprises a selectively transparent display and wherein upon arrival at a delivery destination, the selectively transparent displays communicate to a recipient associated with the delivery destination in which one of the cubbies a delivery associated with the recipient is retained; and an authentication system for authenticating the recipient and, subsequent to successful authentication of the recipient, permitting access to contents of the one of the cubbies in which the delivery associated with the recipient is retained.
Abstract: A system, comprising a harness configured to be releasably attached to a portion of an animal; a retractable leash assembly comprising at least one structural feature; a receptacle coupled with the harness, the receptacle comprising at least one structural feature; wherein the at least one structural feature of the retractable leash assembly is configured to be releasably mated with the at least one structural feature of the receptacle upon application of a force on the retractable leash assembly causing at least a portion of the retractable leash assembly to be releasably mated with the at least one structural feature of the receptacle.
Abstract: An IBC storage box assembly is elevated from a railcar. A vertical beam is used to elevate the storage box off the railcar so that the storage box is more easily accessed from a rail platform. Additionally, the vertical beam may provide some clearance for the storage box so that the storage box is not impacted by the railcar coupler during transport.
Abstract: An autonomous vehicle including a sensor system configured to detect an environment in a field of view of the autonomous vehicle and to output data of the detected environment. A computing system of the autonomous vehicle can detect that a portion of a roadway along a route of the autonomous vehicle in the field of view of the autonomous vehicle is obscured. Responsive to the detection of the obscured portion of the roadway, the computing system can transmit a request for a second autonomous vehicle to view the portion of the roadway. The computing system can receive fill data representative of an output of a second sensor system of the second autonomous vehicle detecting the portion of the roadway in a field of view of the second autonomous vehicle.
Abstract: A system and method for identifying relevant content from other documents and presenting candidate documents in a document authoring application is described. The system identifies a pattern of events from the document authoring application. The system receives a request to identify candidate documents pertinent to a document present in the document authoring application. A set of candidate documents is identified from a document library based on the pattern of events, a reuse score for each candidate document, a similarity score for each candidate document, and content in the document present in the document authoring application. The set of candidate documents is provided in a user interface element of the document authoring application.

Abstract: A method is provided for synchronizing timing in phase and frequency of clocks associated with a plurality of radio nodes (RNs) in a small cell radio access network (RAN) having an access controller operatively coupled to each of the RNs. In accordance with the method, a donor list is generated for each given RN in the RAN. The donor list represents an ordered list of potential wireless access points that are able to serve as a source of a wireless sync signal for the given RN. The donor lists are distributed to the respective RNs. An access point is selected by each of the RNs from their respective donor lists to use as a sync signal source. Each of the RNs synchronize their respective clocks in phase and frequency using wireless sync signals received from the respective selected access points.
