Abstract: A load control system may be provided including control devices and a system controller. The system controller may be configured to broadcast a service set identifier (SSID) and provide a wireless network connection to a network device. The system controller may provide a web page to the network device, wherein the web page may include an indication of target system controllers. The target system controllers may be used for configuring (e.g., associating) the control devices. The system controller may receive an indication of a target system controller selected to associate the control devices. The system controller may determine an address and port number of the target system controller identified by the network device. The system controller may provide, to the network device, the web page from the target system controller while the network device is connected to the system controller via the wireless network connection.

Abstract: A resilient security agent determines a cyber and/or physical health of a control system by, inter alia, communicating cyber-physical key data through cyber-physical control paths of the system, and determining error introduced by the communication. The resilient security agent may be further configured to verify the integrity of acquired cyber-physical state information. The cyber health of the control system may be evaluated by comparing the acquired cyber state information to one or more cyber state profiles. The physical health of the control system may be evaluated by comparing the acquired physical state information to one or more physical state profiles.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for facilitating installation of cables within datacenters without signals being sent/received from outside the datacenter buildings. In particular, the mechanism for facilitating installation of cables within datacenters may include scanning cable codes (e.g., QR codes, bar codes, near field communication (NFC) codes, radio frequency identification (RFID) codes, etc.) and retrieving path information for scanned cable codes. The mechanism then proceeds to track the installation process by scanning codes located throughout a datacenter to verify that the cable installation is proceeding correctly. In instances where a scanned code does not match a code that is expected, based on an order within the path information, an error message is generated indicating that there may be a problem with the cable installation.

Abstract: Implementations are directed to aspect(s) of a fast feedback control system that actively stabilizes a geographically dispersed power grid by e.g., providing capabilities to match supply and demand at a high update rate. Implementations enable fast measurements of properties of the power grid and fast control parameter(s) back to controllable resource(s) in the power grid, such as control parameter(s) back to battery storage units, solar generation curtailment, wind generation curtailment, EV charging systems, and/or HVAC systems. In various implementations, the fast measurements and/or the fast control parameters can continuously occur at an update rate that is faster than once per second, such as at an update rate greater than 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60 Hz. For example, measurements from a controllable resource can be transmitted to a geographically remote parent controller at 60 Hz and responsive control parameters can be received at the controllable resource at 60 Hz.

Abstract: This document describes techniques for expanding user groups while preserving user privacy and data security. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, by a content platform and from a client device of a user, a request for a digital component that also includes a user identifier. A determination is made that the user identifier is included in a user list that includes multiple user identifiers respectively corresponding to multiple users in a user action group. In response to determining that the unique identifier is included in the user list, a digital component of the entity for which the user list is generated is selected and provided to the client device of the user for display to the user of the client device.

Abstract: An image of users of an application may be received from a computing device on a home network. The image may comprise representations of a group of users. Recognition techniques may be applied to the image. Unclaimed profiles may be created for users who are not recognized. The unclaimed profiles may be utilized by applications prior to being claimed by a user or group. Access to the unclaimed profiles may be controlled based on the identity of the network gateway used in the transmission of the image used as the basis for forming the profile.

In one example, a computing device comprises a force sensing touchpad, a processor, and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to receive a first contact on the touchpad. An area of touch of the first contact is determined, and an adjusted force threshold for touch input is determined based at least on the area of the touch. A second contact is received on the touchpad, and a touch force of the second contact is determined. Based at least on determining that the touch force exceeds the adjusted force threshold, a touch input on the touchpad is registered.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable improved content filtering by determining a profile state of the user profile based at least in part on at least one attribute of the user profile and determining a user profile criterion associated with the user profile based on the profile state including a threshold value to trigger a filter parameter associated with the profile objective, where the filter parameter comprises a content type to be processed so as to facilitate achieving the profile objective. The filter parameter is determined based on the profile state surpassing the user profile criterion. A content recognition model is used to identify a message content of each message. An electronic message that matches the content type is identified and filtered at the electronic messaging client to prevent the content from being presented.
