Abstract: A device is arranged for encrypting input data and protecting integrity of the input data and associated data. An encryption processor has a first hash unit arranged to compute an integrity value based on the input data, a second hash unit arranged to compute an initialization vector based on the integrity value and associated data, producing an initialization vector that is different from the integrity value. At least one of the hash units may be a keyed hash unit. An encryption unit is arranged for encrypting the input data to generate encrypted data using the initialization vector and an encryption key. As the initialization vector depends on both the integrity value and the associated data, any change therein will result in failure of the decryption and decrypted data that are substantially different from the original input data.

Supply lines connected to the reservoir wherein the supply line can be connected to the vacuum pump to supply the lubricant to the vacuum pump. Further, a return line is connected to the reservoir to return a lubricant-air mixture from the vacuum pump to the reservoir by the return line. An air filter is disposed inside the reservoir to separate lubricant from the air wherein the filter is connected to a scavenge line which is connectable to a low-pressure region of the vacuum pump such that lubricant separated from the lubricant-air mixture by the air filter is drawn via the scavenge line into the vacuum pump. In accordance to the present invention a valve is disposed in the scavenge line to selectively separate the air filter from the vacuum pump.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for incorporating fall prevention into a personalized activity plan. In various embodiments, a baseline risk of fall for a user may be estimated (302) based on baseline sensor signal(s) (203, 205, 207). Based on a prediction model (215) (which may/may not be associated with the user) and the baseline risk of fall, respective risks of falls associated with various candidate activities may be predicted (304), and then candidate activities may be determined or selected (306) based on the predicted respective risks of falls. Output indicative of the determined candidate activities may be provided (308) to the user, who may provide input (310) identifying one or more of the determined candidate activities as an exercise conducted or to be conducted by the user. Based on the exercise sensor signal(s), a subsequent risk of fall for the user may be estimated (312) and used to update (314) the prediction model.

Abstract: The disclosed data generation platform enables selection of particular machine learning models on the basis of a predicted resource allocation requirement associated with a given prompt. For example, the model validation platform can evaluate the resource use (e.g., cost) associated with processing a user's prompt with a given type of model. Based on this estimated resource use, the model validation platform can route the prompt to a suitable model to optimize a performance metric value, thereby improving the efficiency of the system. In some implementations, the data generation platform trains a model to accurately estimate resource usage based on ground-truth model-related costs, thereby improving the effectiveness of model selection for efficiency improvements.

Abstract: Methods of operating an induction geyser include drawing current through a resonant tank via a transistor, generating a changing magnetic field around the resonant tank. Owing to the strategic placement of the resonant tank in proximity to a fluid tank, the changing magnetic field envelopes the fluid tank. In a first method, the voltage across the transistor's conduction terminals is monitored, and when this voltage surpasses a predefined threshold, indicating an overvoltage condition, a corrective action is initiated in which a gate driver pulls up a gate drive signal that drives the transistor. In a second method, the current flowing between the transistor's conduction terminals is monitored, and upon detecting an overcurrent condition where the current exceeds a set threshold the gate driver is activated to pull down the gate drive signal. Both methods aim to keep operation of the geyser within desired parameters.

Abstract: A combiner system may be provided for combining, in a compressed domain, video streams of different media sources in a composite video stream by including a respective video stream as independently decodable spatial segment(s) in the composite video stream. The combiner system may generate composition metadata describing a composition of the spatial segments in the composite video stream and identification metadata comprising identifiers of the respective video streams. A receiver system may obtain decoded video data of a respective video stream based on the composition metadata and a decoding of the composite video stream, and based on the identification metadata, identify a process for handling the decoded video data. Thereby, the composition of spatial segments may dynamically change, while still allowing the receiver device to correctly handle the spatial segments.
