Abstract: A method and apparatus for minimizing a time that a camera field of view is not being monitored while the camera is undergoing a software or firmware update is provided herein. During operation a determination is made that a camera needs a software or firmware update. The location of a security asset (e.g., a mobile camera, a security guard, a drone, . . . , etc.) is determined. The update is performed based on the security asset being within a predetermined distance from the camera. More particularly, in one embodiment, the update is performed only when the security asset is within the predetermined distance from the camera.

Abstract: A plurality of control devices include a master control device and a slave control device. The master control device transmits, when software stored in a storage area different from the start storage area is updated in the slave control device, to the slave control device, a switching instruction for setting the storage area that stores the updated software as the start storage area. The slave control device implements, when receiving the switching instruction, setting of the storage area as the start storage area at a time of a next start, and requests, at every start, the master control device to execute consistency determination processing for determining whether pieces of identification information of the software stored in the start storage areas are consistent between the control devices. The master control device executes, when receiving the request from the slave control device, the consistency determination processing.

Abstract: Solutions for evaluating source code generators use offline and online evaluation stages. Offline evaluation includes separating each of a plurality of input passages of software code into a plurality of constituent blocks. Each code generator (of a plurality of code generators) generates an equivalent block corresponding to each constituent block. A coding score is determined for each equivalent block (for each code generator), and the coding scores are aggregated across the equivalent blocks to provide an aggregate score for each code generator. A ranking of the aggregate scores is used to down-select to a fewer number of code generators for online evaluation. For this stage, the code generators output passages of software code, and user acceptance of the code generators' outputs may be used for further ranking and down-selection. Some examples weight the coding score according to a code utility estimate of the constituent blocks for which equivalent blocks are generated.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a security model to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The security approach may dedicate a frame to each live application, serving the frame from a different domain than a document in which the live application is embedded. This approach ensures that more stringent security requirements may be required of the live application and allows the data presented to the live application to be narrowly tailored. The security model may further leverage sandbox attributes and content-security policies to restrict the behavior of sandboxed and non-sandboxed live applications in accordance with best security practices.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for a launcher on a user device that allow users to choose between multiple launcher modes. In an example, a user can log in to a management application on a user device that manages the user device. The management application can send the credentials to a server.

The build system comprises a build container and a build proxy server. The build container receives a set of initial inputs for performing a build and generates a build output (e.g., a target artifact) as a consequence of performing the build.
