Abstract: A purlin connection assembly including a purlin, a frame segment and a spring. The purlin has a protrusion that is receivable in a first end of a slot of the frame segment. The purlin is slidable to a smaller second end of the frame segment. Locking engagement is achieved in a direction parallel to the frame segment by a pair of push buttons projecting from the frame segment that flank the purlin when in the second end, and in a direction perpendicular to the frame segment by constraining of a flared head of the protrusion in an interior of the frame segment when in the second end. The push buttons are part of a spring compressingly disposed in the interior of the frame segment, wherein the first button and the second button are biased to extend outwardly through button holes of the frame segment.

There is further provided a collapsible portable containerized shelter which can be extended in height when not in transit and which is capable of being transported in carriers having limited cargo capacity such as cargo military support helicopters.

Abstract: A modular tent frame system includes a number of folding frame elements which permit the shelter to be rapidly deployed in extreme environmental conditions. Telescopically sliding legs permit the tent frame to be unfolded, and the tent fabric attached to the frame, which the frame is on the ground and the tent can then be raised by sliding the outer leg elements up the inner leg elements to thereby raise the tent to the desired height, even in high winds.

Abstract: Technologies for managing sensor malfunctions in a compute system include detecting a malfunctioning sensor of the compute system and determining a sensor function performed by the malfunctioning sensor. In response to detection of the malfunctioning sensor, a different sensor of the compute system is selected to perform the sensor function of the malfunctioning sensor. The selected sensor may be of a different sensor type relative to the sensor type of the malfunctioning sensor. The compute system subsequently performs the sensor function of the malfunctioning sensor using the selected sensor. To do so, the compute system may increase, modify, or adjust the manner in which the sensor data from the selected sensor is processed.

Abstract: Technologies for managing sensor anomalies in a compute system include determining whether sensor data received from a first sensor is anomalous based on sensor data from another sensor and a correlation rule. The correlation rule defines an excepted correlation between the first sensor data and the second sensor data. If the correlation between the first sensor data and the second sensor data is not observed, the first sensor data may be deemed anomalous. If so, the first sensor data may be verified using another sensor or other correlation. If the first sensor is determined to be malfunctioning, the compute system may mitigate the loss of the first sensor by using another sensor in its place.

Abstract: A modular tent frame system includes a number of folding frame elements which permit the shelter to be rapidly deployed. The folding elements incorporate joints with self-resetting lock mechanisms. During set up they automatically lock the joints into place and once unlocked they reset to automatically lock the joints into place on the next setup.

Abstract: Technologies for controlling degradation of a sensor mote including detecting a trigger event and initiating degradation of at least a portion of the sensor mote in response to the trigger event. The trigger event may be embodied as any type of event detectable by the sensor mote such as a trigger signal, particular sensed data, expiration of a reference time period, completion of a task, and so forth. The sensor mote may imitate the degradation by, for example, controlling a valve to release a chemical stored in the sensor mote or allow a substance into the sensor mote.

Abstract: Technologies for determining a threat assessment based on fear responses comprises monitoring sensor data received from a sensor array located at a monitored site. The sensor data may include behavioral sensor data indicative of a physical behavior of individuals within the monitored site and physiological sensor data indicative of physiological characteristics of individuals within the monitored site. The threat assessment may be based on the behavioral sensor data and physiological sensor data. In some embodiments, context data related to the monitored site may be utilized analyze the behavioral sensor data and physiological sensor data and determine a threat assessment based thereon.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed that involve providing enhanced user experiences involving the consumption and management of content. For instance, embodiments provide user interface elements that present information regarding content that overcomes barriers or silos between application and platforms. Examples of such user interface elements include a three dimensional carousel, a preview stack, a favorites button, and a My Channel user interface. Also, embodiments may provide techniques for obtaining contextual content. Such techniques include, but are not limited to, zooming mechanisms and combining (or “mashup”) mechanisms.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention includes determining a first security status for first information and a second security status for second information, the second security status being more secure than the first security status; establishing a first communication path between the system and a first local computing node via a first wireless path; conveying the first information to the first local computing node via the first wireless path based on the first security status; and withholding the second information from the first local computing node based on the second security status; wherein the first and second information are stored on at least one of the system and a remotely located computing node. Other embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: Technologies for managing sensor conflicts in a compute system include determining an implication of stimuli sensed by two or more sensors of the compute system and determining whether a conflict exists between the determined implications. If a conflict does exist, an amount of discomfort is applied to the compute device. For example, a performance characteristic of the compute device may be adversely impacted based on the determined conflict. In some embodiments, the level of applied discomfort is based on a magnitude, importance, and/or duration of the implication conflict.

In some embodiments, the bio-chemical agent may be configured to generate a bio-chemical trigger in response to exposure to a biochemical or biological characteristic of the operator. The operation of the machine may be controlled based on such bio-chemical trigger or reaction.

Abstract: Technologies for managing security threats on a computing system include detecting a security threat to the computing system, determining a plurality of mitigation scenarios to employ on the computing system to mitigate the security threat, and implementing the plurality of mitigation scenarios. Each mitigation scenario includes one or more threat mitigation actions to be taken by the computing system, one or more response systems of the computing system to perform the threat mitigation actions, and a temporal sequence in which the threat mitigation actions are to be taken. The results of each mitigation scenario is evaluated and a validated mitigation scenario is determined based on the results. A user of the computing device may be subsequently trained or habituated to mitigate the security threat by requesting interaction from the user during the implementation of the validated mitigation scenario in response to a threat scenario designed to replicate the security threat.

Abstract: Technologies for controlling a machine include a compute system configured to control operation of the machine. The compute system is configured to detect a moral conflict related to the operation of the machine and determine operational choices for operation of the machine to resolve the moral conflict. The compute system also determines a moral agent likely to be affected by each operational choice and one or more moral rules applicable to the moral conflict. The moral agents may be weighted based on a set of weighting rules, which may vary based on geographical location and/or other criteria. Each moral rule defines a goal to be achieved by the operation of the machine. The compute system is further configured to select one of the operational choices to resolve the conflict based on the determined moral agents and the moral rules and control the machine to perform the selected operational choice.
