Abstract: Systems and methods of performing automated shelf stock management are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a method is performed by a first network node operationally coupled to an optical sensor device having a field of view towards a shelf structure having a set of stocked items and operable to capture an image of the shelf structure. Further, the first network node is operationally coupled to a set of display devices disposed on the shelf structure with each display device being specific to and proximate a certain stocked item on the shelf structure and operable to display stocked item information. The method includes obtaining information associated with a current arrangement of the stocked items and the corresponding display devices on the shelf structure so as to determine whether the stocked item information of a certain stocked item is associated with the stocked item information displayed by the corresponding display device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a network analytic system for tracking and analysis of network infrastructure for network-based digital assets. The network analytic system can detect and track a relationship between assets based on one or more attributes related or shared between any given assets. The network analytic system can analyze network-based digital assets to determine information about a website (e.g., information about electronic documents, such as web pages) that has be used to detect phishing and other abuse of the website. The network analytic system can analyze data about network-based assets to determine whether any are being used or connected to use of unauthorized or malicious activity or known network-based assets. Based on the relationship identified, the network analytic system can associate or link assets together. The network analytic system may provide an interface to view data sets generated by the network analytic system.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel variants of KCVN2 and their use, for example, in methods of treating a subject with a retinal disorder, such as CDSRR.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to circuitry to: monitor utilization data for a plurality of processes; determine one or more priority levels associated with at least one of the plurality of processes based on policy parameters; and adjust a frequency of operation of the interface circuitry based on the monitored utilization data and the determined priority levels of the processes. In some examples, adjust the frequency of operation of the interface circuitry is to prioritize frequency of operation requested by a higher priority workload over a frequency of operations requested by a lower priority workload.
