Abstract: In one embodiment, a method by a site router agent at an edge site includes receiving a first message from a message router at an edge backend, where a destination field of the first message includes a destination information, determining that the first message is destined to a first application instance by comparing a first unique identifying information associated with the first application instance with the destination information, storing the first message into a storage communicatively connected to the site router agent, establishing a network connection with the first application instance, and sending the first message to the first application instance upon establishing the network connection.

Abstract: A high-speed connector system includes a male connector and a female connector which are configured to be coupled together. Each connector includes a housing and a module. Each housing houses a plurality of electrical terminals in terminal receiving passageways and has walls defining a module receiving passage in which the module is seated. Each module is configured to receive an electrical terminal, and has a plurality of rounded nubs on walls forming the module which are engaged with walls forming the module receiving passage. The nubs space the module from the walls of the module receiving passage and form a ball joint to allow floating of the module relative to the housing.

The method may determine, using the cluster level security policy and the permission level, an updated cluster level security policy. In response to determining the permission level is privileged, the method may perform, using a first secure agent, an edge cluster, and the updated clustered level security policy, the storage related operation associated with the edge application on the edge site of the IoT network.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method may receive a first notification message associated with an instance of an edge application at an edge site of an edge network. The method may receive a subset of a unique identifier associated with the instance of the edge application from an application processing interface (API) router agent associated with the edge application. The method may use the subset of the unique identifier to determine a complete unique identifier associated with the instance of the edge application. The method may generate a second notification message corresponding to an API call using the complete unique identifier. The method may determine a network connection with the API router agent associated with the edge application. In response to determining the network connection is stable, the method may expose the second notification message to the API router agent associated with the edge application.

Abstract: A digital image representation may be created by a distributed platform system for a site based on each of the plurality of user-specific actions. The digital image representation may be created by determining a current state of the site from one or more application components of the site, computing a desired state for the site to reach from the current state at some point in time, and creating the digital image representation for the site using the computed desired state to be reached by the site at some point in time. The distributed platform system uses one or more digital models for creating the digital image representation for the site. The distributed platform system may be configured to update the site to reach the desired state based on the digital image representation of the site, at some point in time.

Abstract: An article transfer device includes a rotating structure bearing cantilevered gripping tongs, each including two jaws each on one side of a longitudinal axis of the tongs and movable relative to each other to maintain a central axis of the cylindrical portion of the articles intersecting with the longitudinal axis of the tongs regardless of the transverse dimension. The jaws have ends in the same plane, provided with bearing surfaces facing one another to form together a centring V of the cylindrical portion and a length such that they extend back from a transverse axis of the cylindrical portion perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tongs and to a central axis of the cylindrical portion. The end of one of the jaws is extended by a first finger extending offset from the plane and is supported on the cylindrical portion beyond the transverse axis. A system includes such devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking certain activities of a plurality of animals in a feedlot involve a plurality of RF asset tags attached to the plurality of animals and a plurality of RF detector stations that are operable to read unique identifier codes associated with each of the plurality of RF asset tags. Members of the plurality of RF detector stations are positioned, at least for some, proximate to at least one water trough and at least one feed trough, and are operable to transmit data concerning the RF asset tags detected over a communication link to an asset management subsystem. Duplicate signals may be reduced, signal filtered and smoothed, and energy conserved with certain approaches taken with the RF detector stations. Other systems and devices are presented.

Abstract: Subterranean gas capture wellbores are used to capture lost produced gas. Produced gas can be injected into a subterranean for gas enhanced hydrocarbon recovery and rise in the subterranean formation toward a production wellbore. A first portion is effective for enhanced hydrocarbon recovery and a second portion rises past the production wellbore to become the lost produced gas that is converted to captured produced gas in the subterranean gas capture wellbore. The captured produced gas can then flow in the subterranean gas capture wellbore to the surface for recovery.

Abstract: Devices and techniques for host accelerated operations in managed NAND devices are described herein. A host logical-to-physical (L2P) table of the NAND device has an associated map. Entries in the map correspond to one or more logical addresses (LA) and indicate whether the host L2P table is current for those LAs. If the table is not current, then a request will bypass the host L2P table, using a standard device L2P lookup instead. Otherwise, the host L2P table can be used.

The system comprises an API providing a user with a set of primitives providing instantiation capability of respective generic networking resources, the primitives being configured to be invoked and assembled by the user so as to provide an abstracted view of the overlay configuration. The system further comprises a Workflow engine to compute the overlay configuration according to the abstracted view, and an Overlay configuration builder to push the overlay configuration to the ToR switch and the edge. The pushed overlay configuration configures a NVE in the datacenter network as one of the ToR switch, depending on the business use case of the datacenter associated with the identity of the user.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are systems, methods, memory devices, and machine readable mediums for a fast secure data destruction for NAND memory devices that renders data in a memory cell unreadable. Instead of going through all the erase phases, the memory device may remove sensitive data by performing only the pre-programming phase of the erase process. Thus, the NAND doesn't perform the second and third phases of the erase process. This is much faster and results in data that cannot be reconstructed. In some examples, because the erase pulse is not actually applied and because this is simply a programming operation, data may be rendered unreadable at a per-page level rather than a per-block level as in traditional erases.
