Abstract: Plurality of layers form a nuclear fission reactor structure, each layer having an inner segment body, an intermediate segment body, and an outer segment body (each segment body separated by an interface). The layers include a plurality of cladding arms having involute curve shapes that spirally radiate outward from a radially inner end to a radially outer end. Chambers in the involute curve shaped cladding arms contain fuel compositions (and/or other materials such as moderators and poisons). The design of the involute curve shaped cladding arms and the composition of the materials conform to neutronic and thermal management requirements for the nuclear fission reactor and are of sufficiently common design and/or have sufficiently few variations as to reduce manufacturing complexity and manufacturing variability.

Abstract: A technology for the adaptive compression of time series of complex monitoring data records is disclosed. Variants of complex monitoring data may describe multiple observations of the same type and from the same source from different timestamps, or they may describe multiple, related observations from the same source from the same timestamp. Meta-data for individual complex monitoring data records is analyzed to identify portions of the monitoring data record that can be omitted without loss of data to improve the compression rate. Different base compression methods may be applied for individual entities of monitoring data, depending on the data type used to represent the monitoring data entity, like XOR compression for floating point types. Compressed data is stored to a storage stream, where meta-data that is required to determine the omitted portions of complex data records is stored before corresponding observation payload data.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage mediums described herein enable executable code of a hardware security platform (HSP) circuit to communicate with a hypervisor in a separate processor. The hypervisor generates and manages virtual machines. The HSP code comprises trusted platform module (TPM) logic, that processes TPM commands received via the hypervisor, and in response to the processing, communicates security information (e.g., measurements, keys, authorization data) with the virtual machines via the hypervisor. The TPM logic receives security information related to a virtual machine from the hypervisor and stores the security information in non-volatile memory of the HSP circuit, where security information from a particular VM is distinguishable from security information from another VM in the HSP memory.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which is stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to determine that an entity was granted an anomalous role assignment to a managed environment. The processor may also, based on the determination that the role assignment of the entity is anomalous, identify at least one indicator associated with the role assignment, determine an indicator value corresponding to the identified at least one indicator, and determine whether the indicator value exceeds a predefined threshold value. The processor may, based on a determination that the indicator value exceeds the predefined threshold value, output an alert indicating that the role assignment is suspicious.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for using one or more gateway systems for integrating multiple load control systems running multiple versions of software such that the load control systems may appear to a user and be controlled by the user as a unified load control system. Gateways that manage or have managed the same resource may be organized into a Gateway Group. Gateway Groups names may be used for prefix attachment to facilitate routing. For example, a Composite Gateway may receive a request associated with a resource from a user. The Composite Gateway may determine which Gateway actively manages that resource and/or is the Gateway is a member of a Gateway Group. The composite Gateway may then apply one or more policies to facilitate the request. For example, if the Composite Gateway receives an information request, it may apply an authorization policy, a routing policy, and/or an aggregation policy.

Abstract: Computing devices and methods of upscaling video data are disclosed. In one example a method of upscaling video data comprises generating first resolution video data comprising a plurality of tiles that each comprise a plurality of pixels. The method determines whether a first tile of the plurality of tiles matches a previously-received version of the first tile. At least on condition that the first tile does not match the previously-received version of the first tile, the first tile is upscaled from a first resolution to a second resolution greater than the first resolution. The method determines whether a second tile of the plurality of tiles matches a previously-received version of the second tile. At least on condition that the second tile matches the previously-received version of the second tile, the method refrains from upscaling the second tile from the first resolution to the second resolution.
