  • Publication number: 20210182620
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed for training one or more machine-learned models. The method can include inputting a first image frame and a second image frame into a feature disentanglement model and receiving, as an output of the machine-learned feature disentanglement model, a state feature and a perspective feature. The method can include inputting the state feature and the perspective feature into a machine-learned decoder model and receiving, as an output of the machine-learned decoder model, the reconstructed image frame. The method can include comparing the reconstructed image frame with a third image frame corresponding with the location and the perspective orientation. The method can include adjusting one or more parameters of the machine-learned feature disentanglement model based on the comparison of the reconstructed image frame and the third image frame.

  • Patent number: 11019872
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are sports helmets having modular components. A modular component includes an eyewear adapter that is releasably attachable to the helmet and configured to interface with corresponding eyewear in an orientation that permits a wearer of the helmet to see through the eyewear. The eyewear adapter is configured such that, in use, the eyewear adapter enhances the fit or function of the eyewear relative to the use of the helmet and the eyewear without the eyewear adapter. A modular component includes electronics modules that can be mechanically and electrically coupled to the helmet. A modular component includes other functional modules that affect the aerodynamics of the helmet, the air flow of the helmet, the fit of the helmet, or the look of the helmet.

  • Publication number: 20210119794
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, devices, apparatuses, and processes that maintain data confidentiality in communications involving voice-enabled devices operating within a distributed computing environment. By way of example, an apparatus may receive, from a communications system across a public communications network, a request for an element of data generated by the computing system based on first audio content obtained at a device. The apparatus may obtain the requested data element and further, may generate acoustic data representative of at least a portion of the requested data element. The apparatus may also generate an encrypted response to the received request that includes the acoustic data, and transmit the encrypted response to the device across the public communications network.

  • Publication number: 20210117553
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, devices, apparatuses, and processes that maintain data confidentiality in communications involving voice-enabled devices in a distributed computing environment using homomorphic encryption. By way of example, an apparatus may receive encrypted command data from a computing system, decrypt the encrypted command data using a homomorphic private key, and perform operations that associate the decrypted command data with a request for an element of data. Using a public cryptographic key associated with a device, the apparatus generate an encrypted response that includes the requested data element, and transmit the encrypted response to the device. The device may decrypt the encrypted response using a private cryptographic key and to perform operations that present first audio content representative of the requested data element through an acoustic interface.

  • Publication number: 20210088137
    Abstract: A park release mechanism for a vehicle, including an upper housing and an assembleable lower housing. A cam with a projecting handle is arranged between the upper and lower housings and defines a range of pivotal rotation relative the housings. A cable is secured at one end to the cam and adapted to secure at an opposite end to a transmission of the vehicle. An unlock component is incorporated into the housing in communication with the cam and handle and, upon actuating, to shift the vehicle to and from a Park position upon actuation of the handle and displacement of the cable.

  • Publication number: 20210028945
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that dynamically manage exchanges of data using a cryptographically secure distributed ledger and homomorphic commitments. For example, and in response to an occurrence of a triggering event, an apparatus may obtain parameter values that characterize the data exchange, first commitment values representative of the parameter values, and a first digital signature. In response to a verification of the first digital signature, the apparatus may apply a second digital signature to commitment data that includes the first commitment values and a second commitment value representative of the first digital signature. The apparatus may transmit a signal that includes the commitment data and the second digital signature to a computing system, which generates an element of distributed ledger that includes the commitment data and the second digital signature in response to a verification of the second digital signature.

  • Publication number: 20210014203
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and use cases for one-touch inline cryptographic data security are discussed, including an edge computing device with a network communications circuitry (NCC), an enhanced DMA engine coupled to a memory device and including a cryptographic engine, and processing circuitry configured to perform a secure exchange with a second edge computing device to negotiate a shared symmetric encryption key, based on a request for data. An inline encryption command for communication to the enhanced DMA engine is generated. The inline encryption command includes a first address associated with a storage location storing the data, a second address associated with a memory location in the memory device, and the shared symmetric encryption key. The data is retrieved from the storage location using the first address, the data is encrypted using the shared symmetric encryption key, and the encrypted data is stored in the memory location using the second address.

  • Publication number: 20210005998
    Abstract: A quick connect assembly having a male terminal with a plurality of circumferentially arrayed and elongated beams including forward-most arcuate projecting and outer diameter defining portions. A female terminal has a housing exhibiting an inner diameter inlet communicating with an interior arcuate and expanded extending recess which matches a profile defined by the outer diameter beam portions. A forwardly spring biased plug is displaceably supported within the female terminal housing and includes a forward most projecting snout portion which, upon installation of the male to female terminals, the projecting snout portion of the plug seats between the male beams, preventing unintended collapse and remove of the male beams from within the female housing.

  • Publication number: 20200371099
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, kits and compositions for determining the absence of a systemic bacterial infection (sepsis) in patients, particularly ones presenting to hospital emergency departments (ED) as outpatients, by measurement of the host immune response using peripheral blood. The are methods, apparatus, kits and compositions can be used in mammals for diagnosing, making treatment decisions, determining the next procedure or diagnostic test, or management of patients suspected of having an infection, including those presenting with fever or other signs of systemic inflammation. More particularly, peripheral blood RNA and protein biomarkers are disclosed that are useful for distinguishing between the host immune response to bacteria compared to the host immune response to other causes of systemic inflammation including trauma, burns, autoimmune disease, asthma, anaphylaxis, arthritis, obesity and viral infections.
