Abstract: To identify the sweet spot for criteria attributes (i.e., variables) within a complex system, a data source having objectively acceptable values or ranges of values for the criteria attributes for each variant of the system is generated. The identification system used to analyze the complex system to identify the sweet spot receives measurement values from a testing system that measures values of the criteria attributes from variants of the complex system and provides the measurement values to the identification system. The criteria attributes may be prioritized for determination of the sweet spot, including a selection of a value or range of values that are to be used for the most highly prioritized criteria attribute. The prioritized criteria attributes and objectively acceptable values can be used to filter the measurement values to identify the sweet spot for the variants of the complex system.

Abstract: Described herein is a mechanism for preventing exercise devices from storing user exercise data and enabling the user to securely record that data. When a user selects an exercise device for performing an exercise, a user's device may establish a connection with the exercise device. When an exercise program is started on the exercise device, the user's device interfaces with the sensors directly while bypassing the computing device. When a direct sensor link with the sensors is created, the sensor link replaces a link between the sensors and the computing device on the exercise equipment. The user's device then receives exercise data through the sensor link directly from the sensors bypassing the computing device on the exercise equipment.

Abstract: Media, method, and system for providing encryption key management for international data residency. Organizations using a group-based communication system can designate a particular geopolitical area where that organization's data can be stored and another geopolitical area (which may be the same or different) where encryption keys used to encrypt and decrypt that data should be stored. Users of that organization can post message or access messages previously posted on the group-based communication system from any geopolitical area, causing the system to automatically store and retrieve messages and encryption keys from the appropriate regions to allow the users to transparently access the group-based communication system while maintaining security and data residency requirements.

Abstract: An intelligent target object detection and alerting platform may be provided. The platform may receive a content stream from a content source. A target object may be designated for detection within the content stream. A target object profile associated with the designated target object may be retrieved from a database of learned target object profiles. The learned target object profiles may be associated with target objects that have been trained for detection. At least one frame associated with the content stream may be analyzed to detect the designated target object. The analysis may comprise employing a neural net, for example, to detect each target object within each frame. A parameter for communicating target object detection data may be specified. In turn, when the parameter is met, the detection data may be communicated.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments may use a contactless card as a secondary form of authentication in a multi-factor authentication for a secure messaging service. The recipient party of a request to initiate a messaging service session (such as a server computing device) may be programmed to use the phone number of the originating device to look up records regarding an identity of a party and their associated phone number as a primary credential and then may require an authentication credential originating from the contactless card as a secondary credential for the initiating party. In some instances, the credential originating from the contactless card is a onetime password that is valid only for a period of time. The recipient party determines whether the onetime password is valid. If both credentials are valid, a secure messaging session may be initiated with the initiating party.

Abstract: Facilitating antivirus scan filing locking based on cluster lock mechanism in distributed file systems is provided herein. A system comprises a processor and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations. The operations comprise determining an antivirus scan status of an object, based on an open object request received from a node device of a cluster of node devices, which is determined through the use of Lock Value Blocks. The antivirus scanning of the object is a precondition for opening the object. The antivirus scan status of the object is one of an unscanned status, a queued status, or a scanned status. Further, the operations can comprise, based on the antivirus scan status being the queued status or the scanned status, selectively facilitating the opening of the object at the node device while circumventing the precondition.
