Abstract: Folding knives have an elongated frame, a blade holder pivotally connected to the elongated frame to move between a closed position and an open position, the blade holder having a blade mount facility configured to removably receive a blade, and an ejector movably connected to the blade holder and operable to detach the blade when the blade is received on the blade mount facility. The blade holder may be operable to move to an intermediate position between the open and closed position, and the ejector may be operable to detach a blade only in the intermediate position. The ejector may be constrained to render the ejector inoperable to detach a blade in the open position. The ejector may be constrained to render the ejector inoperable to detach a blade in the closed position. The ejector may be an elongated bar.

Abstract: A computing system for recovery of lost access points in a distributed wireless local area network, including: (a) a host controller, (b) a plurality of access point, and (c) a plurality of stations. When setting up the network, the host controller is configured to register the plurality of access points, instruct the access points to send beacons to the plurality of stations, and perform a handshake to generate a unique encryption key for each of the plurality of stations.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method (CIM) according to one embodiment includes obtaining first endpoint data associated with first actions performed by one or more first user devices of a network environment. The CIM further includes inputting the first endpoint data into a predetermined artificial intelligence (AI)-based decision making engine, where the predetermined AI-based decision making engine is configured to determine, based on endpoint data, whether actions constitute an AI attack event. In response to a determination that an output of the predetermined AI-based decision making engine indicates that at least some of the first actions constitute an AI attack event, an alert that indicates that the at least some of the first actions likely constitute an AI attack event is output.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of detecting an algorithmic attack against a hosted artificial intelligence (AI) system based on inputs (e.g., queries) and outputs of the hosted AI system. In a first example, a feature-based classifier model is used to generate a classification score based on features that are derived from numerical representations of the queries and the outputs, and an algorithmic attack is detected based on the classification score being greater than or equal to a score threshold. In a second example, a transformer-based model is used to generate a vector by providing a multivariate time series, which is based on attribute(s) of the inputs and attribute(s) of the outputs, as an input to the transformer-based model, and an algorithmic attack is detected based on a distance between the vector and a point corresponding to a reference vector being less than or equal to a distance threshold.

Abstract: An apparatus configured to provide portioned instances of a compressible material includes a channel assembly, a gas source, a cutting assembly, and a discharge assembly. The channel assembly holds a bulk instance of the material extending through upper and lower channels of a continuous channel. The gas source supplies gas to compress the bulk instance. The cutting assembly moves in relation to the channel assembly to isolate the upper and lower channels, severing upper and lower material portions of the bulk instance. The discharge assembly directs gas to impinge on a lower face of the cutting assembly to discharge the lower material portion as a portioned instance. The channel assembly may be moveable, where operation of the gas source, cutting assembly, and/or discharge assembly are based on moving the channel assembly between various positions. The gas supply may be controlled based on a determined property of the portioned instance.

Abstract: A computerized method for determining impact of an incident, during the incident, using an AI engine is provided. A stream of transactions is received, and traffic patterns are generated over a predefined time period from the stream of transactions. The traffic patterns are compared with data stored in a historical data warehouse, the data being from a time period that is statistically similar to the current incident time period yet prior to the incident occurring. A running impact count of transactions is determined based on the comparison. The running impact count is dynamically updated as the incident is occurring and displayed in a dashboard. Thus, aspects of the disclosure provide a real-time assessment of the predicted impact of the incident.
