Abstract: A multiple spot vaporizing foil actuator weld (VFAW) system includes a target sheet layer secured relative to a stabilizing component, such that standoff components may be arranged sandwichably between the target and a flier sheet layer. An electrically insulating layer separates the flier from a vaporizing component sheet layer, which may comprise at least two vaporizing subsections configured to have less conductive material than at least three dividing subsections that separate the vaporizing subsections. The geometry and/or other features of the vaporizing subsections may be varied to optimize the vaporization. A second electrically insulated stabilizing component may sandwichably secure the above components between the first stabilizing component in order to control the forces generated in the VFAW process. The method involves loading the vaporizable component sheet layer with electrons via applied voltage such that the vaporizing subsections sublimate.

Abstract: A disclosed method includes receiving at least an indication of audio data generated based on sound captured by a microphone of a monitoring device. A set of audio event labels are generated by processing the received audio data with a model that includes audio recognition patterns. Each audio event label is generated by matching an audio pattern in the received audio data with an audio pattern of the audio recognition patterns. The method further includes identifying a hazard event type occurring within a time window of the time period by processing the set of audio event labels with a hazard detection model. In response to detecting the hazard event type, a hazard alert is generated and at least an indication of the hazard alert is communicated to an electronic device other than the monitoring device, which is authorized to receive communications from the monitoring device.

Abstract: In some implementations, a first network device that hosts a bridge domain (BD) may receive inter-subnet multicast traffic associated with the BD. The BD may forward, using a supplemental bridge domain (SBD) interface of the first network device, and via an SBD, a first copy of the inter-subnet multicast traffic to a second network device that hosts the BD. The first network device may forward, using the SBD interface and via the SBD, a second copy of the inter-subnet multicast traffic to a third network device that does not host the BD. The first network device may forward, using an integrated routing and bridging (IRB) interface of the first network device associated with the BD, a third copy of the inter-subnet multicast traffic to a fourth network device that hosts the BD (e.g., when the fourth network device is a multihoming peer of the first network device).

Abstract: A device may receive event data identifying events associated with user devices utilizing a video conferencing system, and may utilize the event data to train one or more fraud detection models. The device may receive, from a user device, user traffic including at least one of API traffic or media traffic, and may identify characteristics of the user traffic, such as activity related features, application-specific features, and dial-in number-specific features. The device may process at least one of the activity related features, the application-specific features, or the dial-in number-specific features, with the one or more fraud detection models, to determine whether the user traffic from the user device is anomalous or normal, and may block at least one of an IP address of the user device, a telephone number of the user device, or a meeting of the user device, based on determining that the user traffic is anomalous.

Abstract: Provided are computing systems, methods, and platforms that train query processing models, such as large language models, to perform query intent classification tasks by using retrieval augmentation and multi-stage distillation. Unlabeled training examples of queries may be obtained, and a set of the training examples may be augmented with additional feature annotations to generate augmented training examples. A first query processing model may annotate the retrieval augmented queries to generate inferred labels for the augmented training examples. A second query processing model may be trained on the inferred labels, distilling the query processing model that was trained with retrieval augmentation into a non-retrieval augmented query processing model. The second query processing model may annotate the entire set of unlabeled training examples. Another stage of distillation may train a third query processing model using the entire set of unlabeled training examples without retrieval augmentation.
