Abstract: A package assembly enables a user to adjust package assembly volume and includes a first (static or dynamic) package body and a second dynamic package body. The first package body has an upper body rim. Each dynamic package body provides a dynamic lid volume and has a rim-receiving groove, a lid wall, and at least one resilient portion. The rim-receiving groove is removably attachable to the upper body rim for defining a dynamic package assembly volume with the package body when in a closed configuration with the first package body. The resilient portion extends intermediate the lid wall and the rim-receiving groove and is resiliently actuable intermediate (a) a relaxed configuration for defining a maximum package assembly volume when in the closed configuration and (b) an actuated configuration defining a minimum package assembly volume in the closed configuration.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a system receives, at a host channel manager (HCM) of a host system, a request from an application to establish a secure channel with a data processing (DP) accelerator, where the DP accelerator is coupled to the host system over a bus. In response to the request, the system generates a first session key for the secure channel based on a first private key of a first key pair associated with the HCM and a second public key of a second key pair associated with the DP accelerator. In response to a first data associated with the application to be sent to the DP accelerator, the system encrypts the first data using the first session key. The system then transmits the encrypted first data to the DP accelerator via the secure channel over the bus.

A method includes an auto provisioning server receiving CPE information for a designated CPE to initiate a bi-directional vulnerability scan, obtaining telemetry data from a cable modem termination system (CMTS) based on the CPE information, configuring switches to form a virtual local area network channel between a LAN scanner and the designated CPE using the CPE information, provisioning the LAN scanner to obtain a LAN side Internet Protocol (IP) address from the designated CPE, initiating vulnerability scans at a wide area network (WAN) scanner and the LAN scanner using a stored WAN side IP address and a stored LAN side IP address, respectively, and generating a vulnerability scan report based on results from the WAN scanner and the LAN scanner. At least one network device can be configured based on the report.

Abstract: An M2M Service Layer is expanded to access the services of third parties and exchange data with these third parties. The M2M Service Layer is then able to act as a proxy between M2M Devices and the third party services. The M2M Service Layer is able to present a single/consistent interface, or API, to the M2M Device and hide the details of the third party service provider from the M2M Device.

Abstract: Device for producing a vacuum using the Venturi effect are disclosed that have a housing defining a suction chamber, defining a motive passageway includes a tapering portion most proximate the suction chamber that convergingly tapers from a motive entrance to a motive exit into the suction chamber, the motive exit being in fluid communication with the suction chamber, and defining a discharge passageway having a discharge entrance in fluid communication with the suction chamber and divergingly tapering as it extends away from the suction chamber, and having a solid fletch centered within the tapering portion. The device can include a fletch-partition disposed in the motive passageway and dividing the motive passageway into two flow paths along opposing sides of the partition. The solid fletch divergingly tapers toward the suction chamber as it extends from the partition, thereby providing a circumferentially continuous flow of fluid around the fletch.

Abstract: An axe head is attached to a handle in a manner that utilizes the inertia of the axe head to bear against a structure that resists separation of the axe head from the handle. In one example, that structure is a key that fits within the handle after the axe head is slid onto the handle, resisting passage of the axe head past the key. In another example, at least one end piece is joined to a narrowed, toothed section of the handle, forming an assembly with a friction fitted portion and an end portion with a diameter that exceeds the diameter of the hole in the axe head, retaining the axe head on the friction fitted portion of the handle assembly.

Abstract: Techniques for mixed-precision data manipulation for neural network data computation are disclosed. A first left group comprising eight bytes of data and a first right group of eight bytes of data are obtained for computation using a processor. A second left group comprising eight bytes of data and a second right group of eight bytes of data are obtained. A sum of products is performed between the first left and right groups and the second left and right groups. The sum of products is performed on bytes of 8-bit integer data. A first result is based on a summation of eight values that are products of the first group's left eight bytes and the second group's left eight bytes. A second result is based on the summation of eight values that are products of the first group's left eight bytes and the second group's right eight bytes. Results are output.

Abstract: This document describes techniques for storing virtual disk payload data. In an exemplary configuration, each virtual disk extent can be associated with state information that indicates whether the virtual disk extent is described by a virtual disk file. Under certain conditions the space used to describe a virtual disk extent can be reclaimed and state information can be used to determine how read and/or write operations directed to the virtual disk extent are handled. In addition to the foregoing, other techniques are described in the claims, figures, and detailed description of this document.
