Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating presumptively incompatible elements in a digital network are provided. A method may include receiving an access request from a client node in the network. The access request may be requesting access to an application in the network. The access request may be associated with a uniform resource identifier (“URI”). The method may include extracting a target application from the URI. The method may include determining an authentication protocol that is supported by the target application. The method may include generating, based on the authentication protocol, a series of one or more authentication tests that, in combination, satisfy the authentication protocol. The authentication tests may satisfy the authentication protocol even when the client node natively supports a different authentication protocol. The method may include executing the series of authentication tests to authenticate the client node vis-à-vis the target application.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for management of a centralized service for transaction handling across multiple processes that sends connections to a parent process that determines the multiple processes that are used to provide data or upgrade to a user database. Reference identifiers are generated for the connections. The reference identifiers are mapped. Connection of the multiple processes is performed using the reference identifiers to the database to provide data or upgrade to the user database. An abort or rollback is received if all of the other processes are not successful in providing the data or upgrading user database. A commit is received if all of the multiple processes are successful in providing the data or upgrading the user database.

Abstract: Provided are a method and an apparatus for determining an optimal rotation angle during compression of a spherical multimedia content where the processor may receive first multimedia content corresponding to the spherical multimedia content, generate a plurality of second multimedia contents based on the first multimedia content by rotating the first multimedia content to a plurality of rotation angles, perform an edge analysis on each of the plurality of the second multimedia contents, identify the number of edges aligned to one of a vertical axis or a horizontal axis based on the edge analysis, select second multimedia content with the maximum number of edges, and determine an optimal rotation angle.

Abstract: A system may monitor transaction data pertaining to a plurality of transaction types received by a network order fulfillment system. The system may classify the transaction data into a plurality of alarm types based on pre-defined impact of an alarm type to a given transaction type.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for validation of speech commands from an aircraft pilot. The method comprises receiving a speech command from the aircraft pilot with a voice communication device that is part of a cockpit system. Next, the speech command is decoded into a computer readable format. The decoded speech command is then checked against the present aircraft state as indicated by avionic sensors of the aircraft and against an approved pre-condition that is stored in a pre-condition database. The decoded speech command is validated if the decoded speech command is consistent with the present aircraft state and consistent with the approved pre-condition. An input to the cockpit system is updated to execute the speech command from the aircraft pilot if the decoded speech command is validated.
