Abstract: An apparatus for activating a physical card in a virtual environment comprises a processor associated with a server. The processor is configured to receive a request to issue a physical card to a first user and to generate a first non-fungible token (NFT) for storage in the physical card, wherein the first NFT is then displayed as a digital card in a virtual environment. The processor is further configured to receive the digital card in an interaction and to generate a second NFT. The processor is further configured to combine the first NFT and the second NFT to generate an activation NFT that allows the physical card to access a profile corresponding to the first user during an interaction. The processor is further configured to transmit the activation NFT and an instruction to the first user device to store the activation NFT in the physical card.

Abstract: A sign bit of a low-density parity-check (LDPC) codeword associated with a translation unit (TU) can be generated by performing an XOR operation on a RAIN drop corresponding to the TU and a raw read of the TU. The LDPC codeword can include a hard bit and three soft bits that include the sign bit. The LDPC codeword can be decoded using the hard bit and the three soft bits.

Abstract: A three-tiered content notification system that trifurcates the content notification system into a message consumption component, a message filtering component, and a message delivery component. The message queue comprises content published to an event application programming interface (“API”) for the content notification system. By generating this queue of available content, the message filtering component may apply a batch filter on the available content as opposed to conventional per item filtering. During batch filtering, filtering criteria may be applied to all content currently in the queue. The system may rank this content such that only the highest priority and/or relevance ranking may remain in the batch. Content that is not filtered out by the system may then be sent to the message delivery component. At the message delivery component, the system may select delivery channels for the remaining content.

Abstract: Methods and systems for connecting data with non-standardized schemas in connected graph data exchanges. For example, the system generates a custom data structure corresponding to a user identifier for a user profile that includes pointers between user profile attributes (e.g., individual fields/categories within the user profile) and existing assets in a connected graph (e.g., an existing application, software profile for an application, data set, connections, etc.). The system then connects the custom data structure corresponding to the user identifier to the existing assets in the connected graph.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises at least one processing device configured to implement a multi-path layer in a host device, wherein the multi-path layer controls delivery of input-output (IO) operations from the host device to a storage system over selected ones of a plurality of paths through a network. The multi-path layer is configured, for each of at least a subset of the IO operations, to store at least a process identifier, a user identifier and an access type for the IO operation. The multi-path layer is further configured to perform analytics on the stored process identifiers, user identifiers and access types to detect an access pattern, and responsive to the detected access pattern having one or more designated characteristics associated with malware, to generate an alert. The alert may be generated by inserting security alert indicators into respective ones of the IO operations, for extraction therefrom by the storage system.

A scaling factor is determined using the indicator of data integrity and a number of program erase cycles for the portion of memory. The set size of read operations is adjusted to a second number of read operations using the scaling factor for a subsequent set.
