Abstract: An encoder receives first data encapsulating second data in a hidden compartment along with a decoder identifier corresponding to either of a first decoder or a second decoder. The encoder then generates an embedding corresponding to the first data. The first decoder decodes the embedding to result in a representation of the first data when the decoder identifier corresponds to the first decoder. The second decoder decodes the embedding to result in a representation of the second data when the decoder identifier corresponds to the second decoder. The decoded embedding can be provided to a consuming application or process. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: First data is received which encapsulates second data in a hidden compartment. Thereafter, a password is received by a password encoder which uses such password to generate a key. The first data and the key are combined to generate the second data (i.e., the hidden data). The second data is then provided to a consuming application or process. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: Data is received that characterizes artefacts associated with each of a plurality of layers of a first machine learning model. Fingerprints are then generated for each of the artefacts in the layers of the first machine learning model. These generated fingerprints collectively form a model indicator for the first machine learning model. It is then determined whether the first machine learning model is derived from another machine learning model by performing a similarity analysis between the model indicator for the first machine learning model and model indicators generated for each of a plurality of reference machine learning models each comprising a respective set of fingerprints. Data characterizing the determination can be provided to a consuming application or process. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: A media terminal includes two integrated currency devices, each device providing at least one feature/operation that is similar to or is the same as the other device. Two independent sessions to each device are made and presented to a transaction application of the terminal as a single aggregated session. When the transaction application issues a command through the single aggregated session, a decision is made that is transparent to the application as to which device should process the command on behalf of the application and the command is issued to the selected device over the corresponding independent session. Results or notifications provided by the selected device are aggregated and provided to the application over the single aggregated session. In an embodiment, the two integrated currency devices are different types of devices from one another.

Abstract: A method and system for generating two or three dimensional computer graphics images using multisample antialiasing (MSAA) is provided, which enables memory bandwidth to be conserved. For each of one or more pixels it is determined whether all of a plurality of sample areas of that pixel are located within a particular primitive. For those pixels where it is determined that all the sample areas of that pixel are located within that primitive, a value is stored in a multisample memory for a smaller number of the sample areas of that pixel than the total number of the sample areas of that pixel and data is stored indicating that all the sample areas of that pixel are located within that primitive.

Abstract: A cloud security control platform and method enforces security controls across multiple cloud environments, services and disparate teams while providing a frictionless “Permissions on Demand” mechanism for approvals and exceptions. In contrast to the prior art, security is evaluated on a permission by permission basis, with the default being that all permissions are denied and then only given to a particular identity on an as-needed basis. This approach reduces the security risks associated with the vast capabilities available in Public Cloud environments and permits an organization that uses the platform to grant access, approve exceptions and delegate approvals with the appropriate compliance.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to pyrophoric pellets that break apart into individual particulates or agglomerates when exposed to air and emit infrared radiation. The pyrophoric pellets include: (a) about 35 to about 95 wt. % of pyrophoric particles; (b) about 0.05 to about 30 wt. % of one or more thermally expandable particles; (c) about 1 to about 40 wt. % of one or more additives that modify IR signature; and (d) optionally, one or more additives that produce smoke at a temperature of 150° C. or greater. The pyrophoric pellets are particularly useful as countermeasures to protect against incoming missiles.

Abstract: A method comprises obtaining geology data of a subsurface formation and generating a subsurface model of the subsurface formation, the subsurface model including one or more age-attributed geometries of a first age scheme. The method comprises obtaining a first contextual information dataset of a target age scheme and converting each of the one or more age-attributed geometries to a target age-attributed geometry based on the target age scheme. The method comprises integrating the first contextual information dataset into the subsurface model, via the one or more target age-attributed geometries, to generate a context volume. The method comprises performing a subsurface operation based on the context volume.

Abstract: A conference table includes a base and a worksurface supported by the base. The worksurface has a peripheral edge and an aperture having a node and at least three branches extending radially outwardly from the node. The base has a peripheral wall defining an interior space, an opening and a panel moveable between an open position wherein the interior space is accessible through the opening and a closed position wherein the panel is disposed over the opening.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium includes a set of instructions that in operation cause a processor to determine at least one modelled parameter of a feature of interest in petroleum exploration. The instructions also cause a processor to assign a likelihood value to each modelled parameter of the at least one modelled parameter and to generate an initial chance map for each modelled parameter of the at least one modelled parameter. Further, the instructions cause a processor to assign a weighting factor for each modelled parameter of the at least one modelled parameter, and to combine the initial chance maps using the weighting factor for each modelled parameter of the at least one modelled parameter to generate a first simulation chance map.

Data characterizing the determination is provided to a consuming application or process. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
