The processor also sets user interface state according to project migration state; queues the project for processing; transforms the project to a standardized line of business (LOB) configuration; determines that a validation environment is in a clean configuration; migrates, based on determining that the validation environment is in a clean configuration, the transformed project to the validation environment; and receives user input to approve the migrated project.

Abstract: An orchestration system and method are described for at least in part orchestrating a multidevice video session in which a plurality of devices each transmit a video, for example of a user, via a network and in which a composition system receives said transmitted videos and composites, for a respective device from the plurality of devices, videos of other devices into one or more video streams and transmits the one or more video streams via the network to the device. A grouping of the users/devices may be determined to allow the video stream(s) to be generated for respective devices in a manner which may be dependent on the group to which they are deemed to belong. In particular, the video stream(s) may be generated by the composition system such that the videos of devices within a same group are shown in a better quality than the videos of devices from another group, as a user of a device may prefer to see the users from the same group in a better quality than the users from another group.

Abstract: Composite biometric authentication is provided to multiple users that share a financial account. The users can enroll the account for composite biometric authentication. The enrollment can include recording multiple biometrics of each user and storing them as a composite to use in authenticating user requests to authorize transactions involving the shared financial account. A unique combination of biometrics can be generated including a biometric of the multiple biometrics of each of the users and stored such that the unique combination must be provided to authenticate a future user request. To proceed with a transaction, a user of the multiple users initiates the transaction and provides their part of the unique combination. The other users provide their part of the unique combination by providing the specific biometric of the multiple biometrics they have previously provided. The transaction proceeds when all shares of the unique combination are provided and authenticated.

Abstract: A device include on-board memory, an applications processor, a digital signal processor (DSP) cluster, a configurable accelerator framework (CAF), and a communication bus architecture. The communication bus communicatively couples the applications processor, the DSP cluster, and the CAF to the on-board memory. The CAF includes a reconfigurable stream switch and data volume sculpting circuitry, which has an input and an output coupled to the reconfigurable stream switch. The data volume sculpting circuitry receives a series of frames, each frame formed as a two dimensional (2D) data structure, and determines a first dimension and a second dimension of each frame of the series of frames. Based on the first and second dimensions, the data volume sculpting circuitry determines for each frame a position and a size of a region-of-interest to be extracted from the respective frame, and extracts from each frame, data in the frame that is within the region-of-interest.
