Abstract: Thermoplastic compounds in the form of a pellet include thermoplastic resin and conductive fibers. The conductive fibers are enveloped by the thermoplastic resin and distributed within the pellet such that each of at least a portion of the conductive fibers is substantially surrounded by the thermoplastic resin and thereby substantially separated from physical contact with any other of the conductive fibers. Additionally, at least a portion of the conductive fibers includes long fibers. The thermoplastic compound, when molded at a thickness of about 3.2 mm, has an electromagnetic shielding effectiveness across a range of frequencies from about 0.5 GHz to about 2.0 GHz of at least about 60 dB according to ASTM D4935, which makes the thermoplastic compound useful for molding thermoplastic articles for shielding against electromagnetic interference.

Abstract: An autonomous controller for SDN, virtual, and/or physical networks can be used to optimize a network automatically and determine new optimizations as a network scales. The controller trains models that can determine in real-time the optimal path for the flow of data from node A to B in an arbitrary network. The controller processes a network topology to determine relative importance of nodes in the network. The controller reduces a search space for a machine learning model by selecting pivotal nodes based on the determined relative importance. When a demand to transfer traffic between two hosts is detected, the controller utilizes an AI model to determine one or more of the pivotal nodes to be used in routing the traffic between the two hosts. The controller determines a path between the two hosts which comprises the selected pivotal nodes and deploys a routing configuration for the path to the network.

Abstract: A multivariate clustering-based anomaly detector can generate an event for consumption by an APM manager that indicates detection of an anomaly based on multivariate clustering analysis after topology-based feature selection. The anomaly detector accumulates time-series data across a series of time instants to form a multivariate time-series data slice or multivariate data slice. The anomaly detector then performs multivariate clustering analysis with the multivariate data slice. The anomaly detector determines whether a multivariate data slice is within a cluster of multivariate data slices. If the multivariate data slice is within the cluster and the cluster is a known anomaly cluster, then the anomaly detector generates an anomaly detection event indicating detection of the known anomaly. The anomaly detector can also determine that a multivariate data slice is within an unknown cluster and generate an event indicating detection of an unknown anomaly.

Abstract: Dynamic Trust Manager (DTM) having an interface coupled to an embedded system including an Application Processor (AP), boot media, and security processor. The security processor, at a start of a boot sequence of the AP, prevents the AP from proceeding with the boot sequence, verifies bootloader code stored in the boot media via boot media access, and if the bootloader code verification is successful, allows the AP to proceed using the verified bootloader code. The security processor may also be configured to activate an interrupt request of the AP during runtime, request the AP to execute a Security Monitor Driver (SMD) of the embedded system to measure an integrity information of code/data stored in an embedded system memory, receive from the SMD the measured integrity information of code/data, and verify whether the measured integrity information equals a reference integrity information stored in an integrity table of a DTM memory.
