Abstract: A method for data aggregation of declassified sensitive data may include obtaining a policy associated with an isolated region of a service provider. The policy may identify a plurality of rules for declassifying sensitive data accessible within the isolated region. At least a portion of the plurality of rules identified by the policy may be obtained. A file with the sensitive data may be identified, the file being generated within the isolated region. An output file may be generated based on applying the obtained rules to the file. At least a portion of the sensitive data may be filtered out using the obtained rules. The generated output file may be provided for access outside of the isolated region. The sensitive data may be inaccessible by at least another region of the service provider.

Abstract: Described is a recombinant expression vector that enables a cell transformed to contain and express the vector to use levulinic acid as a carbon source, thereby converting levulnic acid into 2-butanne. Also described are genetically modified cells transformed to contain and express the vector and methods of using the cells to produce 2-butanone from a medium containing levulinic acid.

Abstract: Cells and methods for producing polyhydroxyalkanoates. The cells comprise one or more recombinant genes selected from an R-specific enoyl-CoA hydratase gene, a PHA polymerase gene, a thioesterase gene, and an acyl-CoA-synthetase gene. The cells further have one or more genes functionally deleted. The functionally deleted genes include such genes as an enoyl-CoA hydratase gene, a 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, and a 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase gene. The recombinant cells are capable of using producing polyhydroxyalkanoates with a high proportion of monomers having the same carbon length from non-lipid substrates, such as carbohydrates.

Abstract: Disclosed herein according to one embodiment is an object tracker for tracking an object. The object tracker includes a depth camera for acquiring a 3D depth map and a low-resolution 2D image of the object, and an image camera for acquiring a high-resolution 2D image of the object. A processor is in communication with the depth camera and the image camera. The processor is configured to: identify a region of interest within the 3D depth map; identify an approximate object silhouette within the low-resolution 2D image using information about the region of interest from the 3D depth map; identify the approximate object silhouette in the high-resolution 2D image using information about the approximate object silhouette from the low-resolution 2D image; generate a refined object silhouette within the high-resolution 2D image using a region segmentation process; and track the object using the refined object silhouette.

Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods of allocating application functions to motion-correlated devices. A processor may determine whether a first motion of a first mobile device and a second motion of a second mobile device are correlated. The processor may allocate a first application function to the first mobile device and a second application function to the second mobile device in response to determining that the first motion and the second motion are correlated.

Abstract: A distributed execution environment provides resources such as computing resources, hardware resources, and software resources. Resource action rules (“rules”) may be defined and associated with resources in the distributed execution environment. The rules may be evaluated based upon resource state data defining the state of one or more resources. The results of the evaluation of the rules may be utilized to take various actions. For example, the results of the evaluation of rules may be utilized to generate a user interface (UI) object for providing information regarding the evaluation of the rule, to initiate a workflow, and/or perform another type of action. The results might also be utilized to prohibit certain types of operations from being performed with regard to a resource. The results might be propagated to other resources. A UI might also be provided for use in defining the rules.

Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods of enabling short-range communication among wireless devices. A passive sink device may receive an encryption key and wireless device addresses from an active sink device that has established a communication link with a source device. The passive sink device may use the encryption key and wireless device addresses to receive a media stream transmitted from the source device to the active sink device. The passive sink device may send to the active sink device information to cause the active sink device to instruct the source device to take an action to improve reception of the media stream by the passive sink device. In some embodiments, the processor of the passive sink device may send to the active sink device information about the media stream to cause the active sink device to instruct the source device to retransmit a portion of the media stream.

Abstract: Entities such as resource and service providers can utilize a ticketing system to define operational actions as primitives that can be stored, combined into more complex workflows, and executed in a restricted zone wherein a portion of the resources or services are not directly accessible to those providers. These primitives can be stored in the provider environment and shared with the restricted zone, in order to provide a structured approach to the sharing of operational knowledge. When a primitive is first received to the restricted zone, a person vetted by the customer associated with the restricted zone can review and approve the primitive, and can cause the primitive to be executed in the restricted zone. When that same primitive is subsequently received to the restricted zone, a lookup can be performed to determine that an approval exists, whereby the primitive can be executed in the restricted zone without another review.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes recording one or more actions being performed by an agent using at least one resource of a resource provider environment, the at least one resource being associated with a non-restricted zone in the resource provider environment. The method includes creating a primitive that describes the one or more actions. The primitive is able to be executed on at least one different resource in a restricted zone in the resource provider environment to perform the one or more actions using the different resource. The restricted zone includes resources associated with a customer that are directly accessible only to at least one authorized entity. The method includes submitting the primitive to the restricted zone in the resource provider environment. The primitive is able to be executed by the at least one authorized entity on the at least one different resource in the restricted zone.
