Abstract: Described herein are methods and a system for that monitors the performance, and provides reporting including replacement of IoT edge devices in an edge computing network. Data is received by an AI/ML model from multiple IoT edge devices which is process in time series. Analysis services and engines determine the performance of the multiple IoT edge devices. Severity and weightage are applied to the data, and algorithms determine performance and replacement recommendations.

Abstract: A method and system for contraindicating firmware and driver updates. Specifically, the disclosed method and system entail discerning whether installation of a hardware device firmware and/or device driver update, targeting a hardware device on a host device, would succeed or fail given a set of features (or indicators) reflective of the current host device state and metadata respective to the hardware device update. Further, the determination may employ predictive machine learning techniques.

Abstract: An improved in-wall speaker assembly providing better performance and less intrusion than prior art speakers. The speaker assembly is oriented such that the driver fires vertically, parallel to the wall studs, rather than horizontally and perpendicular to the wall studs. The cone and surround of the speaker assembly are generally rectangular and/or conform to the area available between studs. Additionally, the cone is not attached to the voice coil, but is connected to the voice coil by a shaft which transmits the energy from the voice coil to the cone. In another aspect of the invention, the cabinet or housing includes two housings.
