Abstract: The present design is directed to a cognitive system including a receiver configured to receive a set of actors and associated actor information and receive assets and their associated asset information, a creation apparatus configured to create data dictionary entries for a taxonomy based on the set of actors and the assets and create a cognitive model using the data dictionary entries for a time period, and a computing apparatus configured to compute trust of the cognitive model as a fuzzy number and activate the cognitive model if trust of the cognitive model is above a cognitive model trust threshold. When the cognitive model is activated, the cognitive modeling system is configured to schedule a collection of tasks to run that perform regular extraction of actions from an original data source and perform at least one anomaly analysis associated with the cognitive model.

Abstract: Secondary gaming functionality is implemented relative to a casino gaming machine by a secondary controller which is associated with the gaming machine. In this manner, primary gaming functionality, such as primary wagering games and the award of primary awards and/or player reward points, may be implemented by the main game controller of the gaming machine. In addition, however, secondary gaming functionality may also be implemented at the gaming machine, such as secondary wagering games, secondary awards such as bonus and progressive awards and/or player reward points, via the secondary controller. The secondary controller may only implement secondary gaming functionality in response to a secondary wager placed by a player beyond a primary wager which enables the primary gaming functionality.

Abstract: The system may be a device that allows for mixture of an additive to a substance in a line of flow. The system may include a hydration pack with a reservoir that may contain a first substance, such as water. The system may include a cartridge with an additive that is mixed to the line of flow through a Venturi which may include a rolling seal that is manipulated with a dial a user manipulates to adjust the amount of additive added to the line of flow. The mixed liquid may then be accessed through a hose from the system to a mouth piece. The system may be modular to allow a user to replace the cartridge by disengaging a first component and a second component of the system through a buckling mechanism and replacing the cartridge within the second component. The cartridges may be reusable, recyclable or disposable.

Performance of a remediation action is triggered that comprises an action, identified by the information in the information repository, taken to respond to the given alert.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure include at least one processor that receives electronic messages, each associated with a respective originating entity. Message metadata of each electronic message is extracted and list subscriptions are determined based on the message metadata. User interaction commands relative to each electronic message are tracked. Record similarity values for user activity records are determined based on a measure of similarity between the originating entity and each activity record. An engagement model is utilized to determine an engagement score indicative of a degree of user engagement with each originating entity based on the user activities and the user interaction metrics to generate a prediction indicative of the degree of user engagement. An unsubscribe condition is determined based on the engagement score being below a threshold score, and an unsubscribe command is automatically issued.

Abstract: A method of performing backup for a group of virtual machines (VMs) is provided. The method identifies at least a first VM of the group of VMs based on a threshold and removes the at least first VM from the group of VMs such that the group of VMs includes first remaining VMs. The method also initiates creating a first snapshot for the first remaining VMs at the first level of consistency and identifies a failure of creating the first snapshot for at least a second VM of the first remaining VMs. The method further removes the at least second VM from the first remaining VMs such that the group of VMs includes one or more second remaining VMs and creates a second snapshot for the one or more second remaining VMs at the first level of consistency.

Abstract: A method is disclosed comprising: generating a first snapshot of a first storage subsystem; detecting, by a management node, that all in-flight data storage requests recorded in drain tables of storage nodes in the first storage subsystem have been completed, the in-flight data storage requests recorded in the drain tables of the storage nodes being replicated in a second storage subsystem; causing, by the management node, each of the storage nodes to flip the respective designations of the tracking tables in the node's respective pair of tracking tables; and transmitting, from the management node to the second storage subsystem, an instruction which when received by the second storage subsystem causes the second storage subsystem to generate a second snapshot of the second storage subsystem.
