Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media described herein can be operable to facilitate transitioning a device from a first state to a second state. A switch described herein allows for the use of an electronic circuit to perform the toggle and persistence functions while simultaneously giving more flexibility to the industrial design and physical switch implementation. The switch allows this preserving of the state using only a toggle on a voltage and thus allowing for a hardware only solution. The switch described herein allows for the use of smaller and less complicated mechanical switches allowing for more compact industrial designs. The switch uses a programmable voltage reference as a 1 bit non-volatile memory cell that is programmed by means of a logic pulse to the device. This allows a software independent setting of the state of the privacy switch. This state will remain through power cycles.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing access to historical data over a real-time tunnel are disclosed. The method provides a mechanism for secure communication between one or more historians. In an example, attack surfaces on historians in an industrial control system operational technology (OT) network and in an information technology (IT) networks are reduced and possibly entirely eliminated by tunneling through a DMZ (de-militarized zone) or “secured network”.

Abstract: Aspects of the technology relate to a braking assembly for a lateral propulsion system of a high altitude platform (HAP) configured to operate in the stratosphere. Power is supplied to a propeller assembly as needed during lateral propulsion so that the HAP can move to a desired location or remain on station. When lateral propulsion is not needed, power is no longer supplied to the propeller assembly and it may slowly cease rotating. However, in certain situations, it may be necessary to cause the propeller assembly to stop rotating as soon as possible. This can include an unplanned descent. Rapid braking can avoid the propeller blades from entangling in the envelope, parachute or other parts of the HAP. A reusable brake is employed to prevent uncontrolled rotation of the propeller on descent, or otherwise to prevent the propeller from spinning freely when not being used to propel the HAP laterally.

Abstract: A method for providing enhanced sonar images includes ensonifying a target column of water with sonar beams corresponding to pulses of continuous wave (CW) and pulse compression (FM) signals. Received acoustic returns are processed to generate sonar image data corresponding to the CW signals and the FM signals.

A pilot display system includes a user interface, a logic device, and a speed sensor mounted to a mobile structure. The user interface is configured to receive user input and provide user feedback, and the logic device is configured to receive a speed of the mobile structure from the speed sensor, generate corresponding situational image data, and render the situational image data via at least one display of the user interface.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for performing real-time vehicular incident risk prediction using real-time vehicle-to-everything (V2X) data. A vehicular incident risk prediction machine learning model is trained using historical V2X data such as historical incident data and historical vehicle operator driving pattern behavior data as well as third-party data such as environmental condition data and infrastructure condition data. The trained machine learning model is then used to predict the risk of an incident for a vehicle on a roadway segment based on real-time V2X data relating to the roadway segment and/or vehicle operators on the roadway segment. A notification of a high risk of incident can then be sent to a V2X communication device of the vehicle to inform an operator of the vehicle.
