Abstract: An electronic control unit (ECU), or node, is configured to use a single key for generating requests from a security peripheral for a MAC. The security peripheral includes the stored shared key. The security peripheral may further include a policy enabling it to detect if a request from the V-ECU is valid, in which case it generates a MAC. The security peripheral is also used to store information in a MAC Generate Allow List (MGAL). In some embodiments, the receiving nodes in a network receive data based on a security peripheral's response to a transmit nodes requests for a MAC. The receiving nodes use this knowledge to avoid being spoofed.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a compute device having a microcontroller unit circuit, multiple processing circuits, and a backplane bus. Initial unsecured communications through the backplane bus are restricted. The microcontroller unit circuit is operational to authenticate the processing circuits with a plurality of processor attestations over a local area network bus based on a secure onboard communication protocol of an automotive open system architecture, a symmetric key, and a message authentication code. The processing circuits are operational to reply to the processor attestations over the local area network bus, and verify the microcontroller unit circuit based on the secure onboard communication protocol, the symmetric key, and the message authentication code received from the microcontroller unit circuit. Secure communications through the backplane bus among the processing circuits is enabled based on the authentications of the processing circuits and the verifications of the microcontroller unit circuit.

Abstract: A non-relational database may be emulated using a relational database with a distributed data store. A request to access the non-relational database may be received at a frontend for a relational database engine that emulates an interface for a non-relational database engine. The request may be translated into the format for the relational database engine and performed by the relational database engine. The relational database engine may access data for the non-relational database at storage nodes that store the data in a relational table column of non-relational data type.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for light-based communication are described. VLC may be used to communicate video content, an electronic program guide (EPG), location information, an advertisement, and/or any other data, content, and/or content item to a user device. VLC may be used to communicate data/information associated with a wireless network, provision a service, navigate an area, track content and/or content item consumption, and more. Light (e.g., VLC, etc.) may be used to communicate any information/data.

Abstract: A system comprises a computer including a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions such that the processor is programmed to: receive, at a device driver, an Ethernet frame from an Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) communication stack, determine, at the device driver, whether the Ethernet frame is a spoofed Ethernet frame, and transmit a cancelation command to at least one layer of the AUTOSAR communication stack when the device driver determines the Ethernet frame is spoofed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for dynamically monitoring and filtering data packets associated with accessing one or more entity resources. The system is configured for identifying a data packet in a network comprising at least a first data unit and a second data unit, determining that the first data unit and the second data unit of the data packet are attempting to access an entity resource, determining that first data associated with the first data unit and second data associated with the second data unit cannot access the entity resource at a same instance based on a first signature bit associated with the first data unit and a second signature bit associated with the second data unit, and attenuating the first data unit or the second data unit from the data packet based on the first signature bit and the second signature bit.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition, which is an oral solid dosage form, containing a pharmaceutical agent comprising a dialkylamino- or a trialkylamino-group and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipient(s), wherein over a period of 2 weeks at 60° C. under open exposure (at any humidity between 30 and 75% rH), or 6 months at 40° C./75% rH in the primary packaging, or 6 months at 25° C./60% rH in the primary packaging the concentration of the corresponding N-nitroso-derivative of the pharmaceutical agent remains below 50 ppm (relative to the weight of the free base of the pharmaceutical agent in the pharmaceutical composition).

Abstract: A system includes a narrative repository which stores a plurality of narratives and, for each narrative, a corresponding outcome. A narrative evaluator receives the plurality of narratives and the outcome for each narrative. For each received narrative, a subset of the narrative is determined to retain based on rules. For each determined subset, a entropy matrix is determined which includes, for each word in the subset, a measure associated with whether the word is expected to appear in a sentence with another word in the subset. For each entropy matrix, a distance matrix is determined which includes, for each word in the subset, a numerical representation of a difference in meaning of the word and another word. Using one or more distance matrix(es), a first threshold distance is determined for a first word of the subset. The first word and first threshold are stored as a first word-threshold pair associated with the first outcome.

Abstract: Examples provide a system and method for optimizing single piece versus multi-piece shipment for source-carrier combinations. A manager component calculates an estimated shipping cost for all possible combinations of source-carrier associated with delivery of items from the source to a destination. The system iteratively calculates a cost for shipping the item with every combination of carriers and sources as a single piece only packaging, as well as a multi-piece packaging where applicable based on rate cards for the carriers. The combination of source-carrier and boxing method providing the lowest estimated shipping cost in a plurality of calculated shipping costs is selected for order fulfillment. The selected carrier is assigned to deliver the ordered items from the source location to the destination location. A notification can be sent to the user identifying the selected carrier and estimated date of delivery of the items.
