Abstract: In some embodiments, a meta-data inspection data store may contain hierarchical components and subcomponents of an industrial asset and define points of interest. An industrial asset inspection platform may access that information and generate an inspection plan, including an association of at least one sensor type with each of the points of interest. The platform may then store information about the inspection plan in an inspection plan data store and receive inspection data (e.g., from a manual inspection, from an inspection robot, from a fixed sensor, etc.). A smart tagging algorithm may be executed to associate at least one point of interest with an appropriate portion of the received inspection data based on information in the inspection plan data store.

Abstract: A respiratory gas flow coupling includes a device connector having a female receptacle or male nipple with a side-oriented leak path. A patient accessory connector has a male nipple or female receptacle adapted to connect with the female receptacle or male nipple of the device connector.

Abstract: Embodiments are described herein for providing infrared (IR) coverage in a media system, IR codeset selection, and/or calibration of IR blasters. In one aspect, a triggering event is detected and an action to be performed by a device is determined. It is determined that the device is controllable using IR signals. An IR command signal including instructions to perform the action is transmitted to the device. In another aspect, a codeset is selected. A determination of whether a signature signal associated with a device indicates a state corresponding to a command including an IR code of an IR codeset transmitted to the device is made. If so, the IR codeset is associated with the device. Otherwise, another command including an IR code of another IR codeset is transmitted. In another aspect, an IR blaster is calibrated based on whether a signature signal indicates a state corresponding to a transmitted command.

Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein describe tokenizing data to generate a secure token that is limited in scope (e.g., directed to a specific recipient) and limited in time (e.g., valid for only a specified period of time). A detokenization process may be employed to recover encrypted data of the secure token without the need for any relational database lookup processes, thereby reducing cost while maintaining robust protection against unintended recipients that attempt to recover the encrypted data.

Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for providing a single sign-on experience for mobile applications that may or may not be managed. A first application executed in a client device sends an access request to a service provider. The first application receives a redirection response from the service provider that redirects the first application to an identity provider. The first application then receives a further redirection response from the identity provider that causes the first application to request an identity assertion from a second application executed in the client device. The first application receives the identity assertion from the second application. The first authentication then authenticates with the service provider using the identity assertion.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for static scheduling a neural network implemented in a massively parallel hardware system. The neural network may be scheduled using three different scheduling levels referred to herein as an upper level, an intermediate level, and a lower level. In one embodiment, the upper level includes a hardware or software model of the layers in the neural network that establishes a sequential order of functions that operate concurrently in the hardware system. In the intermediate level, identical processes in the functions defined in the upper level are connected to form a systolic array or mesh and balanced data flow channels are used to minimize latency. In the lower level, a compiler can assign the operations performed by the processing elements in the systolic array to different portions of the hardware system to provide a static schedule for the neural network.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described which facilitate protecting a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) session. A first communication channel is established between a first cryptographic element and a VDI service. The first cryptographic element decrypts a video stream from the VDI service and overlays the decrypted video stream on a user's display. A second communication channel is established between a second cryptographic element and the VDI service. The second cryptographic element encrypts input received at a user's input device and sends the encrypted input to the cloud VDI service.
