Abstract: An optical connector has a first connection end configured to fit with a peer adapter. The electrical connector has a second connection end configured to fit with the peer adapter. The first connection end and the second connection end have a same opening direction. In addition, the first connection end may slide along a plugging direction of the peer adapter relative to the second connection end. The first connection end is configured to be connected to the peer adapter before the second connection end. The optical connector is connected to the peer adapter before the electrical connector. This ensures that a channel for transmitting an optical signal is communicated before a channel for transmitting an electrical signal is communicated, thereby avoiding fiber burning and improving security and reliability of the opto-electronic adapter during use.

Abstract: An artificial intelligence (AI) function management platform receives a request to create an AI agent and, in response, provides a graphical user interface configured to render a studio environment for creating the AI agent. The studio environment includes a drag-and-drop visual workflow builder for connecting operations across multiple functional components of a set of available functional components. The platform receives, via the studio environment, user input indicative of at least one AI component of the set of available functional components and at least one operation for performance by the at least one AI component. The platform generates the AI agent based on the user input and deploys the AI agent to a runtime environment.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to an attack and fault tolerant Internet of Things (IoT) network. Multiple handling modules of a computer system subscribe to messages from a publisher device. Each handling module receives a message from the publisher device, processes the message to generate a processed message and signs the processed message using a private key stored on the handling module to generate a signed message. Each handling module then sends the signed message to the other handling modules, subscribes to messages from the other handling modules and receives multiple signed messages from the other handling modules. Each handling module then determines a consensus upon receiving a majority number of the multiple signed messages from the other handling modules, generates a consensus message containing the multiple respective signatures of the handling modules in response to determining the consensus and sends the consensus message to the subscriber device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to authenticating items using object fingerprinting and deep learning. A system extracts visual features from an image of the item to be authenticated. Using the visual features, the system performs prefiltering by comparing the visual features from the image of the item to visual features of an image of an authentic item that is same or similar to the item. Based on the prefiltering analysis indicating that the visual features from the image of the item matches the visual features from the image of the authentic item, deep learning analysis is performed by applying the image of the item and at least two other images including the image of the authentic item to a convolutional Siamese neural network (SNN). The convolutional SNN generates image embeddings used to derive similarity scores. Based on the similarity scores, a determination is made whether the item is authentic.
