Abstract: An electronic device includes at least one external surface comprised of a material whose texture can be dynamically changed by a device-generated trigger. The device includes: at least one sensor that detects a support condition of the device; and a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor and to a component that provides the device-generated trigger. The controller: receives, from the sensor, sensor input corresponding to the support condition; and evaluates the received sensor input to determine whether a current support condition is one that triggers the controller to cause a change in the texture of the external surface material. In response to the current support condition being one that triggers the change in the texture of the external surface material, the controller transmits a signal to the component, which activates the component to provide the device-generated trigger, causing the change in the texture of the external surface material.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for performing an instant recovery of data associated with a locked snapshot. In various examples, the amount of time for performing a recovery of data associated with a locked snapshot is significantly reduced by making use of enhanced volume cloning functionality instead of making an actual copy of the data to be recovered. In one embodiment, the resulting volume clone representing the recovery volume is cleared of all data protection information (e.g., WORM flags and/or lock metafiles) that was previously used to protect the content from being changed when stored on the data protection volume so as allow the recovery volume to be used in read-write mode.

Abstract: An artificial intelligence (AI) system for use by a business to process multiple channels of user feedback data. User experience feedback data is provided via multiple channels—including structured feedback in the form of surveys, and unstructured and unsolicited feedback provided by people who wish to provide ad hoc feedback. The unstructured feedback may be from social media posts, calls to a service center, emails, and other sources. The feedback is aggregated as text data in a data pool. A natural language processing machine learning system is used to analyze the feedback and extract the meaning in human-understandable terms. Clustering techniques are used to identify commonalities in the feedback data even when issues are found in different data channels using different terminology. The commonalities are analyzed to identify actionable insights which address the underlying issues. Labeled sample data is used to perform supervised learning of the AI system.

Abstract: The invention solves the problem of lack of consistency in the policy handling of cellular devices and non-cellular devices. Security credentials that are acceptable to the core network are enabled by the invention to be used for devices that do not have access to such security credentials. This results in consistency in how policy is handled, as it enables the core network to handle policy for all devices, regardless of whether they have access to acceptable security credentials. Acceptable security credentials may be SIM-based credentials or certificate-based credentials, or any acceptable type of security credentials.
