Abstract: In an implementation, a sync engine running on a computing device synchronizes a local copy of a file with a copy of the file hosted by an online file service. An application on the device receives a request/command to open the file and responsively opens a temporary copy of the file in memory. The application populates the temporary file with content from the local copy of the file and also establishes a connection between the application and a co-authoring service. Note that the connection between the application and the co-authoring session bypasses the sync engine such, when connected to the co-authoring service, the application is able to synchronize the content in the temporary copy of the file with content in the hosted copy of the file over the connection.

Abstract: Detecting voltage-based attacks on an integrated circuit (IC) is difficult in the presence of clock jitter. Propagating signals can exhibit a total delay that is due to a delay component resulting from a voltage-based attack and a delay characteristic resulting from clock fluctuation. Voltage-variation detection circuitry includes first and second voltage-dependent circuits and a voltage analysis circuit. The voltage-dependent circuits produce first and second signals that are indicative of a voltage level responsive to a clock signal and based on different first and second voltage sensitivities. The voltage analysis circuit generates a voltage alert signal based on the first and second signals. A combined signal neutralizes the delay characteristic in the first and second signals, but the delay component due to the voltage variation can be at least partially maintained. Thus, a voltage-based attack is detectable in the presence of clock fluctuation by using two voltage-dependent circuits.

Abstract: A method for securing a networked computer system executing an application includes identifying a vulnerable computer resource in the networked computer system, determining all computer resources in the networked computer system that are accessible from, or are accessed by, the vulnerable computer resource, and prioritizing implementation of a remediation action to secure the vulnerable computer resource if a vulnerability path extends from the vulnerable computer resource to a critical computer resource that contains sensitive information. The remediation action to secure the vulnerable computer resource is a safe remediation action that does not impact availability of the application executing on the networked computer system.

Abstract: A central system, or server, may store information for determining the schedules of drivers. For example, the information may include loads assigned to the drivers, training, lunch breaks, time off, and/or other commitments. The central system may centrally store the information to efficiently and conveniently determine and update schedules. The central system may allow drivers and/or carriers to manage driver onboarding, training, compliance, scheduling, work assignment, and reporting, as well as build monthly, weekly, and daily schedules. The central system may also automate matching drivers to loads, balances work distribution, reduce human errors, and assist in audits.

Abstract: Techniques discussed herein describe an example system for verifying the identity and location of a customer in a bank branch parking lot. A server determines whether to provision a service for a vehicle based on telemetry data received from a telemetry module on the vehicle in a fleet of vehicles. The telemetry data includes a first location and status information of the vehicle. The server identifies a vendor to provide the service and directs the vehicle to a second location of the vendor from the first location of the vehicle. The server provides authorization to the vehicle for an on-board transaction module to initiate a request for the service when the vehicle is at the second location of the vendor.

User controls are received to remotely control a target device comprising one of the determined devices for which information is rendered in the gaze tracking device. The received user controls are transmitted to the target device to control the target device.

Abstract: Planning granularities can be stored for data elements including a first granularity for a first data combination, the first data combination including a combination of multiple dimensions of data. A comparison metric can be calculated between planned data at the first granularity for the first data combination and actual data observed for the first data combination, wherein the observed data is stored at a different granularity than the planned data. Based on the calculated comparison, the planning granularity for the first data combination can be adjusted from the first granularity to a second granularity. A selection of a cross-section of data spanning multiple dimensions can be received, the selection including the first data combination, wherein a user interface is configured to display data for the first data element at the second granularity based on the adjusting.

Abstract: Connecting agent to customers is the cornerstone of contact center operations. When a customer is connected to an agent for real-time communications (e.g., voice), they can be particular sensitive to any delay, such as the delay to establish a media channel between the agent's endpoint and the customer's device. By establishing a media channel between the agent's device and a server having initially received the communication, the communication may be attached to the existing media channel without requiring the time and resources otherwise necessary to establish the media channel. Additionally, if a problem or failure occurs, a server utilized for the connection may seek to establish the media channel with a second network, such as a telephone network, or a second agent endpoint or endpoint component.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to facilitating concurrent forecasting associating with multiple time series data sets. In accordance with aspects of the present disclosure, a request to perform a predictive analysis in association with multiple time series data sets is received. Thereafter, the request is parsed to identify each of the time series data sets to use in predictive analysis. For each time series data set, an object is initiated to perform the predictive analysis for the corresponding time series data set. Generally, the predictive analysis predicts expected outcomes based on the corresponding time series data set. Each object is concurrently executed to generate expected outcomes associated with the corresponding time series data set, and the expected outcomes associated with each of the corresponding time series data sets are provided for display.

Abstract: A transaction is pre-staged by providing transaction preferences, such as a financial instrument, a transaction type, and a transaction amount, to a user device. The user device captures a visual code at a terminal, such as an ATM. The visual code includes terminal attributes, including a signed hash and call-back URI. The user device authenticates the visual code using the signed hash and requests the transaction through the issuer server. The issuer server creates and sends the card data to the call-back URI. The terminal uses the card data to create a transaction request it routes to through its acquirer server.
