Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed to determine when a portable electronic device is moved within an enclosed space. A processor and memory may control a sensor may store code executable by the processor to measure a parameter at an inlet of the computing device. The parameter may include an airflow rate, an air temperature at the inlet, and/or a current supply to a fan of the computing device. The processor may execute code to determine when the parameter at the inlet reaches a threshold. When the processor determines that the measured parameter has reached the threshold, a signal from the sensor to the processor and/or from the processor to an operator may be sent, indicating that the threshold has been reached.

The shutter includes a shutter body containing electrically charged light blocking particles in suspension, a first pair of electrodes positioned to move the electrically charged light blocking particles to achieve the first state in response to a first voltage being applied to the first pair of electrodes, and a second pair of electrodes positioned to move the electrically charged light blocking particles to achieve the second state in response to a second voltage being applied to the second pair of electrodes.

Abstract: Access to a system is permitted by first polling a low-power device/connection on a user device for a low-power multifactor authentication (MFA), and; refraining from polling a high-power device/connection on the user device for a high-power MFA. An indication is received from a user that the user would like to access the system. The low-power MFA is identified via the polling of the low-power device/connection, and the user is authenticated via the low-power MFA. After authenticating the user via the low-power MFA, the high-power device/connection is woken and polled for the high-power MFA. The high-power MFA is identified via the polling of the high-power device/connection, and the user is authenticated via the high-power MFA. Access to the system is permitted when the user has been authenticated using the low-power MFA and the high-power MFA.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of preparing an electronic device for transport to a destination includes activating a secure transport function for an electronic device and receiving a selection of at least two transport mode options. The transport mode options may include placing the electronic device in a shipping mode to disconnect a device battery until the device is reconnected to a power adapter, performing an encryption on selected data stored on the device, capturing a connection fingerprint of gateways upon power on during transport, and logging power on hours during transport. The method includes applying, via the secure transport mode function, the selected transport mode operations prior to transport.

Abstract: A system for preventing a voice activated response by a digital personal is provided. The system includes a digital personal assistant that has a memory storing program instructions. The system also includes one or more processors that, when executing the program instructions, are configured to identify an audible instruction based on a determined sound, and receive a block signal accompanying the determined sound. The one or more processors are also configured to prevent a response to the determined sound based on the block signal.

Abstract: A digital assistant device includes one or more microphones held by a housing, a memory, and one or more processors. The microphones receive a voice command. The one or more processors execute program instructions in the memory to interpret the voice command as instructing performance of a first function, identify a source of the voice command, and determine whether the performance of the first function would conflict with performance of a second function. In response to determining that the performance of the first function would conflict with the performance of the second function, the one or more processors determine whether the source of the voice command has authority to override the second function. The one or more processors perform the first function according to the voice command in response to determining that the source of the voice command has the authority to override the second function.
