Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a memory, a user interface, and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to determine an optimal domain from a plurality of domains based on a current context, combine the current context and a historical context of the optimal domain to determine a combined context, determine an optimal feature from a plurality of features based on the combined context and a parameter of the optimal domain, and control the user interface to output a recommendation message for the optimal feature.

Abstract: A power plant control system includes a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to process events in the processor according to a method. The system identifies an adjustable component of a power plant based on an image of at least a portion of the adjustable component, the adjustable component controlling at least one operational parameter of the power plant. An operational instruction is generated for the adjustable component from a database based on the image, the operational instruction capable of being rendered visually in an augmented reality (AR) system. The operational instruction is transmitted to the AR system for implementing by a user; and real-time operational data is transmitted to the AR system. The real-time operational data including a change to the at least one operational parameter based on an adjustment made to the adjustable component.

Abstract: A method for purifying rebaudioside A, which method comprises: (a) providing a solution comprising rebaudioside A; (b) concentrating the said solution; and (c) crystallizing from the solution a high purity composition comprising rebaudioside A, thereby to purify rebaudioside A.

Abstract: A system includes a security server including a memory and a processor configured to receive a first set of communications from a human machine interface (HMI) device, wherein the first set of communications relates to HMI device security events. The security server is also configured to receive a second set of communications from an industrial controller, wherein the second set of communications relates to industrial controller security events. The security server is further configured to package and send the received first and second sets of communications to a remote managed security service provider (MSSP) for analysis.

Abstract: A system includes a build system processor configured to generate a private encryption key and configured to add the private encryption key to at least one of a plurality of source files. Each of the plurality of source files includes instructions configured to be executed by an industrial controller processor. The processor is also configured to generate a plurality of binary files from the plurality of source files. The processor is further configured to construct a whitelist file including first hash key values determined for the plurality of binary files and configured to encrypt the whitelist file using the private key to provide an encrypted whitelist file.

Abstract: A system includes a controller configured to control a process, and store at least one binary file, wherein the at least one binary files is generated from at least one source file, wherein the at least one source file comprises instructions configured to be executed by a processor in the controller. The controller may also be configured to retrieve a whitelist file comprising a first hash key value derived from the at least one binary file, and execute an executable file based on the whitelist file, wherein the executable file comprises the source file.

Abstract: A system includes a control system having a plurality of controllers configured to control a process. Each controller of the plurality of controllers further includes a secure repository configured to store a login credential. The control system is configured to authorize a user action by comparing a user credential against the login credential of each of the plurality of controllers.

Abstract: A simulation system includes a simulation interface and a virtual controller coupled to the simulation interface. The virtual controller includes an application layer that receives application layer inputs and provides outputs to the simulation interface and an input/output (I/O) layer coupled to the system model and the application layer. The I/O layer includes one or more I/O module models that receive the system model outputs and creates the application layer inputs in the same or similar manner as an I/O module in the system being simulated.
