Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure relate to the optical identification of telecommunications equipment. In examples, a user interacts with an application to capture image data relating to a device according to instructions presented to the user. The application may further generate metadata, such as user responses to one or more questions. The image data and/or metadata are evaluated using a machine learning model to generate an equipment classification for devices pictured therein. The data may also be used to generate an equipment configuration for the device, as well as an operational state (e.g., based on one or more indicators present on the device, log data, etc.). Accordingly, such information may be used to update a pre-existing inventory record for the device, or generate a new inventory record. In other examples, such information is used to generate one or more predicted issues and associated actions to troubleshoot the device.

Abstract: A method for determining a profile of an entity of interest, comprising interrogating a social media platform to determine a social media account corresponding to the entity of interest and generating a linked social network data structure linking the social media account corresponding to the entity of interest to one or more other social media accounts on the social media platform corresponding to other entities. The method further involves assigning an individual link measure to one or more of the individual links of the linked network data structure, the individual link measure based on an assessment of the one or more social media interactions upon which the individual link is based on and a profile of the entity of interest based on an aggregated measure based on the linked social network data structure comprising the individual link measures.

Abstract: The present invention relates to phenylsulfonylureas and phenylsulfonylthioureas, wherein the phenyl ring is substituted with a monovalent group comprising either (i) an aryl or a heteroaryl group, or (ii) a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group, and wherein the group attached to the terminal nitrogen atom of the urea group is a 6-membered cyclic group substituted at the 2- and 4-positions. The present invention further relates to salts, solvates and prodrugs of such compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and to the use of such compounds in the treatment and prevention of medical disorders and diseases, most especially by NLRP3 inhibition.

Abstract: Systems and other embodiments described herein relate to vehicle collision energy absorption with increased airflow towards an engine compartment of a vehicle. In one embodiment, the system includes a front energy absorber with a first top surface having an angle and a rear energy absorber with a second top surface that is curved. The rear energy absorber is separated from the front energy absorber by a gap and a plane of the first top surface is tangential to the second top surface.

Abstract: A filter assembly for a refrigerator includes a filter, a port, and a cam. The filter has a protrusion extending therefrom. The port is configured to engage the filter. The port is configured to move to transition the filter to an activated position. The port is configured to move to transition the filter to a deactivated position. The cam is configured to interfere with the protrusion in response to a partial connection between the filter and the port to prevent the filter from transitioning to the activated position. The cam is configured to provide clearance for the protrusion in response to a full connection between the filter and the port to facilitate the filter transitioning to the activated position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to new immunogenic compositions comprising conjugated Streptococcus pneumoniae capsular saccharide antigens (glycoconjugates) and uses thereof. Immunogenic compositions of the present invention will typically comprise at least one glycoconjugate from a S. pneumoniae serotype not found in PREVNAR®, SYNFLORIX® and/or PREVNAR 13®. The invention also relates to vaccination of human subjects, in particular infants and elderly, against pneumococcal infections using said novel immunogenic compositions.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes a filter, a receiver, a manifold, and a cam. The filter has a handle extending therefrom. The receiver defines a cavity configured to receive the filter. The manifold is configured to engage an opposing end of the filter relative to the handle via axial rotation of the filter. The manifold is configured to pivot upward to transition the filter to an activated position. The manifold is configured to pivot downward to transition the filter to a deactivated position. The cam is configured to interfere with the handle in response to partial axial rotation of the filter to prevent the filter from pivoting upward to the activated position. The cam is configured to provide clearance for the handle in response to full axial rotation of the filter to facilitate the filter pivoting upward to the activated position.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems for providing multiple egress routes from a telecommunications network for a client of the network. In general, the system provides for a client of the network to receive intended packets of information through multiple connections to the network such that load balancing and failover services for traffic to the customer are provided. The process and system allow for telecommunications network to utilize a common next-hop value of announced border gateway protocol (BGP) routes to advertise multiple routes to reach a destination customer network or address. By utilizing a common next-hop value in the announced BGP information, the devices of the network may load balance communication packets to the destination customer or address among the multiple egress locations from the network, as well as providing fast failover to alternate routes when a failure at the network or customer occurs.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for an optical domain controller for managing and maintaining a record of network component configuration and interconnections. The optical domain controller detects changes in a configuration of optical network elements in response to a requested service from the network, coordinates additional changes in configurations to optical network elements that may be affected by the detected change, communicates with the optical network elements to incorporate the changes to the configurations of the network element, and stores the configurations and states of the network elements. The use of the optical domain controller may thus replace or supplement a database storing network configuration information by automatically managing changes to the network as new services are instantiated directly on the optical network elements.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for a configurable optical peering fabric to dynamically create a connection between participant sites without any physical site limitations or necessity of specialized client and network provider equipment being located within such a facility. Client sites to a network may connect to a configurable switching element to be interconnected to other client sites in response to a request to connect the first client site with a second site, also connected to network, via the switching element. A request may trigger verification of the requested and, upon validation, transmission of an instruction to the switching element to enable the cross connect within the switching element. The first site and the second site may thus be interconnected via the switching element in response to the request, without the need to co-locate equipment or to manually install a jumper between client equipment.

Abstract: A computer system is provided. The computer system includes a memory and at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to deploy public key enumeration code and private key enumeration code to a plurality of endpoint devices for execution on the endpoint devices. The at least one processor is further configured to collect public keys and associated public key metadata from the endpoint devices, and to collect private key metadata from the endpoint devices. The public keys and associated public key metadata are generated by the public key enumeration code and the private key metadata is generated by the private key enumeration code. The at least one processor is further configured to generate a graph illustrating trust relationships between user accounts on the endpoint devices. The graph is based on the collected public keys, the collected public key metadata, and the collected private key metadata.
