The electronic controller is configured to receive images from the cameras; calibrate the image of the driver's eye movement with the artificial driver view; create a pixel weighted heat map of the calibrated images; create a trained semantic segmentation neural network model and a trained attention neural network model using the pixel weighted heat map and the artificial driver view; and operate the vehicle using the trained semantic segmentation neural network model and the trained attention neural network model.

Abstract: A system for determining whether image data is within a predetermined range that image analysis software is configured to analyze. The system includes a camera and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive the image data from the camera and generate a prediction regarding the image data and a confidence value associated with the prediction. The electronic processor is also configured to perturb the image data using a perturbation value and generate a prediction regarding the perturbed image data and a confidence value associated with the prediction. The electronic processor is further configured to compare the confidence values and disable autonomous functionality of a vehicle when the difference between the confidence value associated with the prediction regarding the image data and the confidence value associated with the prediction regarding the image data is less than a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: Examples of granting governed privileged access to a robotic process automation (RPA) bot are described. In an example embodiment, for the RPA bot, an onboarding request is received for creating an RPA bot ID. The onboarding request is validated and, in response to the validation, the RPA bot ID is created. A directory service account, a privileged account available for bot employee type, is associated with the RPA bot ID and a target account is linked with the RPA bot ID to provision authorized privileged access of the target account to the RPA bot. An application programming interface (API) is provided for the RPA bot for reconciling the access to the target account. Furthermore, authorized privileged access to the RPA bot is granted to the target account.

Vaccine compositions with buffers of the invention are stable liquid rotavirus vaccine formulations for oral administration.

Abstract: Techniques for generating an arbitrary target electromagnetic signal with a nonlinear material, include determining a time varying target amplitude and target phase and an order n of a nonlinear material. For each time, a first set of nth roots of the target amplitude and a second set of nth roots of the target phase are determined. An input amplitude based on one value from the first set and an input phase based on one value from the second set is determined at each time. A difference between temporally successive values of phase is minimized. An electromagnetic signal is modulated to impose the input amplitude and phase to produce a modulated electromagnetic input signal that is introduced into the nonlinear material to produce a target electromagnetic signal.

Abstract: Systems and methods for updating an enrollment template having a plurality of enrollment views of a biometric input object. A determination is made as to whether a new input biometric view is a candidate view for template update based on a match criterion, and a determination is made as to whether the new input biometric view increases coverage of the biometric input object by the enrollment template. The new input biometric view is added to the enrollment template as a new enrollment view in response to determining that the new biometric view i) is a candidate view for template update, and ii) increases coverage of the biometric input object by the enrollment template.

Abstract: Techniques for chunking data in data storage systems that provide increased data storage security across multiple cloud storage providers. The techniques employ a chunking engine and a policy engine, which evaluates one or more storage policies relating to, for example, cost, security, and/or network conditions in view of services and/or requirements of the multiple cloud storage providers. Having evaluated such storage policies, the policy engine generates and provides operating parameters to the chunking engine, which uses the operating parameters when chunking and/or distributing the data across the multiple cloud storage providers, thereby satisfying the respective storage policies. In this way, users of data storage systems obtain the benefits of cloud storage resources and/or services while reducing their data security concern and optimizing the total cost of data storage.
