Abstract: Methods and systems for secure geolocation-based data access control include a server that captures a data access request from a remote device and determines whether the requestor geolocation corresponds to a non-restricted zone or a restricted zone. The server determines whether the requestor identity has permission to receive a full view or a masked view of data. The server retrieves data responsive to the data query and generates a response to the data access request, the response including a full view or a masked view of the retrieved data. When the generated response comprises a masked view, the server determines that the user of the remote device has requested a full view of the responsive data, authenticates the remote device using the requestor identity, and updates the generated response to comprise the full view of the retrieved data. The server device transmits the generated response to the remote device.

Abstract: A microfluidic device includes an input port for inputting a particle-containing liquidic samples into the device, a retention member, and a pressure actuator. The retention member is in communication with the input port and is configured to spatially separate particles of the particle-containing liquidic sample from a first portion of the liquid of the particle containing fluidic sample. The pressure actuator recombines at least some of the separated particles with a subset of the first portion of the liquid separated from the particles. The device can also include a lysing chamber that receives the particles and liquid from the retention member. The lysing chamber thermally lyses the particles to release contents thereof.

Abstract: A flight display is described. The flight display includes a display screen, a physical network interface, and multiple processors. The flight display interfaces with the flight deck by way of the physical network interface. The display screen displays images representative of avionics data in response to signals generated by one or more of the processors. The processors also generate command signals causing an actuator of the aircraft to control a flight control surface or a throttle. In this regard, the one or more of the processors perform various automatic flight control system (AFCS) functions. A system is further described including multiple of the flight displays. By hosting the AFCS functions across processors of the multiple flight displays, a level of command integrity may be reached. Furthermore, backups flight displays are available to be reconfigured to perform the AFCS functions.

Abstract: System and method for benchmarking a container orchestration platform in a computing environment uses data contained in a configuration file, which specifies at least one benchmark operation having benchmark actions for container orchestration resource types to be performed in the container orchestration platform, to create a resource manager for each container orchestration resource type specified in the configuration file. Using the created resource managers, a routine for each benchmark action is spawned and executed on container orchestration objects in the container orchestration platform. As the routines are executed, performance metrics are collected and at least some of the collected performance metrics are displayed.

Abstract: A sealing member for providing a seal between fluid connectors includes a tubular member defining a lumen extending between a first end and a second end. The tubular member may receive a first connector via the first end and a second connector via the second end, and includes an annular wall extending between a first annular portion adjacent the first end and a second annular portion adjacent the second end. The first annular portion may engage the first connector, and the second annular portion may engage the second connector. When a pressure within the lumen is negative, atmospheric acting inward on the annular wall compresses the sealing member to define a contact force between the second annular portion and the second connector sufficient to define a fluid seal between the sealing member and the second connector.

Abstract: A heterogeneous memory system is implemented using a low-latency near memory (NM) and a high-latency far memory (FM). Pages in the memory system include NM blocks stored in the NM and FM blocks stored in the FM. A page is assigned to a region in the memory system based on the proportion of NM blocks in the page. When accessing a block, the block address is used to determine a region of the memory system, and a block offset is used to determine whether the block is stored in NM or FM. The memory system may observe memory accesses to determine the access statistics of the page and the block. Based on a page's hotness and access density, the page may be migrated to a different region. Based on a block's hotness, the block may be migrated between NM and FM allocated to the page.
