Abstract: A method comprises presenting, by a server for display on a screen associated with a radiotherapy machine, a series of consecutive graphical user interfaces (GUIs), wherein a first GUI comprises: a first graphical indicator (GI) corresponding to a first attribute associated with configuration of the radiotherapy machine, and a second GI corresponding to a second attribute associated with the patient; when the server receives an indication that a user interacting with a pendant in communication with the server has inputted a first input corresponding to a first direction towards the first GI, presenting for display a second GUI comprising data associated with the first attribute; and when the server receives an indication that the user has inputted a second input corresponding to a second direction towards the second GI, presenting for display a third GUI comprising data associated with the second attribute.
Abstract: The described techniques enable a skid communicator tool to quickly change network settings to those required by a particular skid or network in a process control environment with which a user of the tool wishes to establish communication. These techniques are helpful because skids and networks in process control environments often require different network settings for any device attempting to communicate with the skids or network, and a user often must manually load these network settings every time she wants to communicate with a different network or skid. By contrast, the techniques enable the skid communicator tool to seamlessly connect to, disconnect from, and reconnect to any of the skids or other networks requiring different network settings with minimal input from the user, thus enabling a user to easily move through and interact with different areas, units, or equipment of the process control environment.

Abstract: A self-sealing container is formed from a blank comprising panels and end flaps connected along fold lines with the panels and the end flaps being foldable along the fold lines to form the container. The container includes a securing feature that seals the container in a closed position, with the securing feature providing a visual indication of opening if the container is opened from the closed position. After the container is opened, the securing feature provides a closure feature that allows the container to be closed.
Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to an apparatus, including a data storage circuit having a plurality of entries, and a load-store pipeline configured to allocate an entry in the data storage circuit in response to a determination that a first instruction includes an access to an external memory circuit. The apparatus further includes an execution pipeline configured to make a determination, while performing a second instruction and using the entry in the data storage circuit, that the second instruction uses a result of the first instruction, and cease performance of the second instruction in response to the determination.
Abstract: A system for validating a write command to a device in a process control system using biometric credentials and relationship attributes. A two user validation process may use biometric inputs of the two users to authenticate the two users and to query for associated profiles to determine whether the two users have a relationship required to release an intercepted write command to the device.
Abstract: A system for recording vehicle occupants and their immediate environment includes a driver-facing camera for capturing video data, an input that receives data from one or more sensors configured to detect vehicle related data and a processor. The processor is configured to embed, based on the sensor data, at least one indicator in a portion of the video data. The indicator designates that the portion of the video data is to be obscured during playback of the video data.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods are described that provide for detection of a metamaterial surface (metasurface) on a device or object. Multitone EM radiation is transmitted to the object having the metasurface. Two or more heterodyned tones are backscattered from the object and detected.
Abstract: Methods and systems for persisting a protocol state from a first instance of a virtual desktop application to a second instance of the virtual desktop application are described herein. In some embodiments, a computing platform may establish, by a first virtual desktop instance, a secure session with a virtual delivery agent (VDA), resulting in a protocol state of the first virtual desktop instance. Further, the computing platform may persist, using the first virtual desktop instance, the protocol state. Next, the computing platform may transmit, from the first virtual desktop instance to a second virtual desktop instance, the protocol state. Additionally, the computing platform may authenticate, using authentication tokens comprising the protocol state, a connection between the second virtual desktop instance and a gateway device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for creating local, or on-premises, secondary copies of data managed and/or stored in online repositories are described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods perform a single application programming interface (API) call to a web application level of an online repository to transfer a copy of the data stored in the online repository from the online repository to a local site of a local information management system. Via the local site, the systems and methods access the copy of the data at the site of the local information management system, generate a metadata manifest file that associates metadata files and data files within the copy of the data of the site of the local information management system, and transfer the data files and the metadata manifest file to a media agent for storage to a secondary storage device of the local information management system.
