Abstract: Systems and methods associated with distributing an application's network interface over nodes of a networking fabric are presented. Nodes of the fabric can operate as interface modules, each taking on a role or responsibility for a portion of the application's network address including IP address, port assignments, or other portions of the network address. Interface modules of the networking nodes can then spoof or cloak the application to provide security against internal or external threats.

Abstract: Systems and methods for instantiating collaboration interfaces via object recognition are disclosed. An object recognition engine communicatively coupled to a database and an electronic device receives sensor data related to an object and identifies an object characteristic. A component is selected having criteria satisfied by the object characteristic and a collaboration interface is instantiated on the electronic device. This can allow a user to edit content related to an object. A substantially identical collaboration interface can be instantiated on a second electronic device to allow collaboration among user with respect to content related to the object.

Abstract: A sensor-based leading indicator management ecosystem is described. Sensor data associated with the individual, possibly within a Personal Area Network (PAN) and related to the healthcare of the individual, is compiled and converted to a one or more sets of leading indicators with respect to one or more possible future healthcare actions. Leading indicators may then be compiled into one or more condition state vectors that represent encoded inputs into one or more trained action prediction agents. The trained action prediction agents then generate, possibly in real-time or based on time-series data, predicted actions that may be required at a predicted point-of-care or a moment-of-care. Further, action prediction agents may be context or domain specific.

Abstract: Techniques (e.g., systems, apparatus, methods) for context-based management of tokens are described. In an example, a geographical location of a device is used as one possible context. This location can correspond to a physical location associated with an AR virtual object container. This container can be associated with a set of virtual object container information applicable to the context, such as to the device's location. Based on separately maintained virtual object information, virtual objects to be shown as being available from the container are determined. Each of such virtual objects can be associated with a set of tokens. In an AR session, the container and the virtual objects are presented. An interaction with the container or a virtual object can result in associating a relevant set of tokens with a user account by recording information about the container, the virtual object, the user account, and/or the context(s).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture to improve image recognition searching are disclosed. In some embodiments, a first document image of a known object is used to generate one or more other document images of the same object by applying one or more techniques for synthetically generating images. The synthetically generated images correspond to different variations in conditions under which a potential query image might be captured. Extracted features from an initial image of a known object and features extracted from the one or more synthetically generated images are stored, along with their locations, as part of a common model of the known object. In other embodiments, image recognition search effectiveness is improved by transforming the location of features of multiple images of a same known object into a common coordinate system. This can enhance the accuracy of certain aspects of existing image search/recognition techniques including, for example, geometric verification.

Abstract: Interference-based augmented reality hosting platforms are presented. Hosting platforms can include networking nodes capable of analyzing a digital representation of scene to derive interference among elements of the scene. The hosting platform utilizes the interference to adjust the presence of augmented reality objects within an augmented reality experience. Elements of a scene can constructively interfere, enhancing presence of augmented reality objects; or destructively interfere, suppressing presence of augmented reality objects.

Abstract: A hybrid-fabric apparatus comprises a black box memory configured to store a plurality of behavior metrics and an anomaly agent coupled to the black box. The anomaly agent determines a baseline vector corresponding to nominal behavior of the fabric, wherein the baseline vector comprises at least two different behavior metrics that are correlated with each other. The anomaly agent disaggregates anomaly detection criteria into a plurality of anomaly criterion to be distributed among network nodes in the fabric, the anomaly detection criteria characterizing a variation from the baseline vector, and each of the plurality of anomaly criterion comprising a function of a measured vector of behavior metrics. The variation can be calculated based on a variation function applied to a vector of measured behavior metrics having elements corresponding to member elements of the baseline vector. Anomaly criterion statuses calculated by at least some of the network nodes are aggregated.
