Abstract: A bearing provides a vibration-insulating mount on a first component with a hole through which a central longitudinal axis extends. The bearing includes a first bearing part with a first fixing structure that can be arranged on one side of the first component, and a second bearing part with a second fixing structure that can be arranged on the other side of the first component. In embodiments, the first fixing structure comprises first pins that can protrude into the hole, and the second fixing structure comprises second pins that can protrude into the hole. In embodiments, at least one of the pins of each fixing structure is biased or is able to be biased radially outwards with respect to the central longitudinal axis.

Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium comprising monitoring, by a control panel, an ambient noise via one or more microphones in the control panel. The implementations further include determining, by the control panel, whether the ambient noise includes an acoustic signature associated with a security event. In some implementations, the security event may comprise a glass break event. In some implementations, the acoustic signature may comprise a first sound followed by subsequent sounds. The first sound may comprise a thump sound, and the subsequent sounds may comprise crashing sounds.

Abstract: There is provided mechanisms for precoded transmission of data. A method is performed by a network node. The method comprises obtaining an indication that a CSI report as received from a user equipment served by the network node is of a quality below a quality threshold. The method comprises, in response thereto, transmitting, whilst applying at least one precoder, data towards the user equipment. The at least one precoder is a function of at least one CSI value reported from the user equipment earlier than the CSI report with quality being below the quality threshold was received.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides systems and methods for detecting malware, including receiving thermal images of an integrated circuit, and generating a power density profile using at least one of the thermal images. The present disclosure further includes comparing the power density profile to an expected power density profile of the integrated circuit, and determining, based on the comparison, if the integrated circuit is in an abnormal operating state.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for intelligently blending inverse kinematic (IK) solutions to more naturally depict joint positioning and/or movement of digital animated characters. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the character animation system can blend two IK solutions for an elbow joint based on a shoulder angle. For example, the character animation system can utilize a blending region to dynamically blend IK solutions as the shoulder angle moves through the blending region, thereby smoothly modifying bend direction and elbow position of the animated character arm. Based on the modified elbow position relative to a wrist position and a shoulder position, the animated character system can simulate more accurate, natural arm movements while reducing time and interactions needed to generate realistic animation sequences.

Abstract: The system implements a hybrid marketplace model that takes the best attributes of both “push” and “pull” based marketplace platforms. Ride requests are submitted by ride organizers and prioritized based on driver preferences and qualifications. These are then presented to drivers in an app where they can build their daily and weekly schedule, claiming the trips most desirable for them. This gives drivers the flexibility they are looking for and gives ride organizers the ability to share driver/vehicle information with their children ahead of time (giving kids comfort on who is picking them up). Meanwhile, there is also an automated system that monitors unclaimed trips (or trips that had a last-minute driver cancel), automatically adjusts the payout to a driver, and sends automated outbound messages informing drivers of a family in need. This “push” portion of the platform ensures the system will not leave a child stranded without a ride.

Abstract: The system is an integrated solution that provides end-to-end visibility for 3rd party observers (parents, school administrators, socials workers, etc.), and system safety personnel (“Safe Ride Support Specialists”) to monitor each trip in real-time for safety related anomalies. These incidents generate alerts that are prioritized and distributed to the appropriate party to take action through a combination of automated and manual processes. An advantage of the system is that it does not require the passenger to have a cell phone or other mobile device. In addition, the system is active instead of passive, with alerts being issued to observers in response to certain triggers. In addition, the system can take automated actions to preserve passenger safety.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer usable program product for token caching in a trust chain processing are provided in the illustrative embodiments. An information in a token associated with a first request is mapped. A determination is made whether a requester of the first request has provided a constraint in the first request, the constraint concerning the token, the constraint forming a client constraint. The client constraint is stored. The information and the mapped information is stored, forming stored information. The token is received in a second request. The stored information is reused if the client constraint allows reusing the stored information. A further determination may be made whether a target system receiving the mapped information has provided a server constraint, the second constraint concerning the mapped information, the second constraint forming a server constraint. The stored information may be reused if the server constraint allows reusing the stored information.
