Abstract: Various implementations relate to techniques, for controlling smart devices, that are low latency and/or that provide computational efficiencies (client and/or server) and/or network efficiencies. Those implementations relate to generating and/or utilizing cache entries, of a cache that is stored locally at an assistant client device, in control of various smart devices (e.g., smart lights, smart thermostats, smart plugs, smart appliances, smart routers, etc.). Each of the cache entries includes a mapping of text to one or more corresponding semantic representations.

Abstract: A cyber threat defense system can incorporate data from a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application hosted by a third-party operator platform to identify cyber threats related to that SaaS application. The cyber threat defense module can have a SaaS module to collect third-party event data from the third-party operator platform. The cyber threat defense system can have a comparison module to compare third-party event data for a network entity to at least one machine-learning model of a network entity using a normal behavior benchmark to spot behavior deviating from normal benign behavior. The comparison module can identify whether the network entity is in a breach state. The cyber threat defense system can have a cyber threat module to identify whether the breach state and a chain of relevant behavioral parameters correspond to a cyber threat. An autonomous response module can execute an autonomous response in response to the cyber threat.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using risk profiles for fleet management of a fleet of vehicles are disclosed. Fleet management may include determining the performance levels of particular vehicle operators. The risk profiles characterize values representing likelihoods of occurrences of vehicle events. The values are based on vehicle event information for previously detected vehicle events. Exemplary implementations may: receive, from a particular vehicle, particular vehicle event information for particular vehicle events that have been detected by the particular vehicle; determine one or more metrics that quantify a performance level of the particular vehicle operator, based on the risk profiles; compare the one or more metrics for the particular vehicle operator with aggregated metrics that quantify performance levels of a set of vehicle operators; and store, transfer, and/or present results of the comparison.

Abstract: The invention relates to a slide mechanism which can be attached to and support chair, couch or bed legs, one device per leg, to make furniture slidable. The chair, couch or bed leg fits an upward-facing leg holder for one furniture leg. The leg holder is affixed to or part of an upper base having two longitudinal grooves, wherein two screws, one extending into each of the grooves, hold the upper base to a lower base. The two screws are loose enough with respect to the upper side of the upper base to allow the upper base (carrying the leg-holder and the attached furniture leg) to slide relative to the lower base. An elastic member connects the upper base to the lower base.
