  • Publication number: 20230391284
    Abstract: Technologies and techniques for combating drowsiness of a driver of a motor vehicle. A calculation rule is used in which a fatigue progression curve, that represents a fatigue development of the driver over time, can be generated based on a parameter set, and specific values for the parameter set are determined for a route ahead. The fatigue progression curve for the route ahead may be determined via the calculation rule using the determined values for the parameter set, and the fatigue progression curve is analyzed. A countermeasure may be initiated depending on a result of the analysis, in which countermeasure at least one value of a variable parameter of the parameter set is specifically changed.

  • Patent number: 11714898
    Abstract: Embodiments provide automated security scanning of incoming images for use in creating containers such as a Virtual Machines. Based upon attribute(s) of metadata of the incoming image, a security engine chooses from amongst stored scripts for mounting and execution by installation logic. Such scripts can relate to the scanning itself, and/or pre-scanning considerations (such as scan frequency). In one example, the meta data attribute identifies a relevant Operating System (OS) of the incoming image. Other meta data attributes such as •scan frequency, •most recent passed scan, •log information, and •contact information (for issuance of a possible alert), may also be considered as part of the processing of an incoming image. Embodiments may enhance security by avoiding introduction of vulnerabilities through image instantiation. Embodiments may also impart flexibility to conserve resources by selectively scanning according to a frequency and/or date of last successful passage of the image.

  • Patent number: 11569006
    Abstract: A cover for a cable harness including: (i) a first layer comprising a first color; (ii) a second layer layered adjacent to the first layer, the second layer comprising a second color that is different than the first color; and (iii) an adhesive layer adhered to the first layer, at least a portion of the adhesive is not covered by the second layer. The first color can black, while the second color is white. The second layer comprises fibers that can be substantially free of dye. At least one of the first layer and the second layer can be polyethylene terephthalate. The cover can cover a plurality of cables of a cable harness. If wear forms a hole through the first layer, the second color of the second layer is visible from an environment external to the covered cable harness through the hole through the first layer.

  • Patent number: 11496443
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, method, and computer program product embodiments for securing inter-network communications. An embodiment operates by generating a task request to be performed in a first network environment. The embodiment further operates by transmitting the task request to an application located in a second network environment. The embodiment further operates by receiving a task package from the application. The embodiment further operates by determining whether the task package includes a positive task value and, if so, calling a task in the first network environment based on the task package. The embodiment further operates by generating a creation status associated with an execution of the task in the first environment and transmitting the creation status to the application. Subsequently, the embodiment further operates by generating a final status associated with the execution of the task and transmitting the final status to the application.

  • Publication number: 20220156096
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for enhancing parameter-less exit-calls from a command line interface (CLI). An embodiment operates by obtaining a parameter and a name for a task script, and then generating a shell script including the name of the task script and an instruction to execute the task script based on the parameter. Then, an execution request for a task including an exit-call is sent to the CLI. The execution request includes a name of the shell script for the exit-call. The CLI calls the shell script in response to the exit-call during execution of the task. Further, the task script is executed based on the parameter in response to the CLI calling the shell script.
