Abstract: A computer system operates to determine a traction value for each of a plurality of regions of the road network. A region of the road network for which the traction value is unknown is identified. A vehicle is directed to operate over the region of the road network to obtain additional data that is indicative of a current traction value.

Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein facilitate the use of the primary work queue within an information management application as a centralized access point for creating and viewing multiple types of new draft items such as a note, to-do, or message item. An information management application can receive a new item request through its user interface and initiate a new draft item in response to the new item request. A view of new draft item can then be surfaced in a primary work queue of the information management application. The item type of the new draft item may be different than other item types in the primary work queue.

Abstract: Technologies are described for modification of conversation presentation for enhanced user experience. Parts of the conversation may be detected and analyzed for their properties such as who sent a message, who received, when, was anyone left out from or added to the conversation, etc. The extracted properties and analyzed information may then be used to reverse a chronological order of the conversation and present it using interactive features such as collapsing and expanding parts of the presented information, providing a summary, removing unnecessary content, and comparable features.

Abstract: The application discloses integrated air suspension and platform lifting systems that utilize an existing air supply for lifting one or more platforms installed in a trailer or hauling vehicle. An apparatus for lifting a rear gate or platform of a trailer or a hauling vehicle is disclosed that includes an actuating mechanism operable to pivot the platform between a lowered position (e.g., where the end of the platform is in contact with the ground) and a range of raised positions (e.g., where the platform is raised to meet an elevated platform such as a loading dock). The lifting mechanisms for raising and lowering the platform(s) may utilize a pressurized gas supply from a compressor. In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism may be supplied with pressurized air from a compressor of a brake system of a tractor. In some embodiments a separate locking mechanism is provided to hold the platform in place after the lifting system has moved it into a desired position.

Abstract: Techniques to manage collaborative documents are described. An application program may comprise a document render component to render a first document instance of a collaborative document, a document share component to receive a document update list comprising a set of change records for a second document instance of the collaborative document, and modify properties of one or more constructs for the first document instance based on the change records to form a merged document instance of the collaborative document, and an undo manager component to manage a local undo stack for the first document instance, the local undo stack comprising a set of undo records, and determine whether to preserve one or more of the undo records of the local undo stack after formation of the merged document instance based on one or more of the change records. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: In representative embodiments, systems and methods to calculate the likelihood that presented cryptographic key material is untrustworthy are disclosed. A predictive model based on a debasing condition and a dataset is created by evaluating the dataset relative to the debasing condition. For example, if certificate revocation is selected as the debasing condition, the dataset is analyzed to produce a predictive model that determines the likelihood that a presented certificate is untrustworthy based on similarity to already revoked certificates. The predictive model can include a supervised learning model like a logistic regression model or a deep neural network model. The system can be used in conjunction with existing security infrastructures or can be used as a separate infrastructure. Based on the likelihood score calculated by the model, a relying system can reject the cryptographic key material, accept the cryptographic key material or take other further action.

Abstract: Provided herein are vinylogous thioester compounds and methods for using the compounds.

Abstract: In representative embodiments, a system and method to calculate a security reliance score is illustrated. The security reliance score is calculated from an aggregation of property sub-scores. The property sub-scores are, in turn, based on scores for attributes that make up the properties. A learning model is employed to adjust scores over time based on collected information. Additionally, statistical sampling can adjust scores based on context, including geo-location context. Security reliance scores can be used to identify weaknesses that should be fixed in cryptographic material and/or configurations. The system can also make recommendations for changes that will have the biggest impact on security reliance scores. Additional uses are also identified.

Abstract: A pallet includes a cargo layer and a base layer, and a plurality of support block assemblies separating the cargo and base layers. Each support block assembly includes a first support block with a first opening extending therethrough in a horizontal direction, and a second support block inserted into the first opening of the first support block.

Abstract: Techniques for an electronic montage system are described. An apparatus may comprise a logic device arranged to execute a montage application comprising a presentation component. The presentation component may be operative to detect when a display size or resolution has changed from one used for an original layout of a montage. The presentation component may reposition, or reflow, the tiles in the montage in the changed display in a way that preserves the spatial characteristics of the tiles to each other. An authoring component may reflow tiles automatically when a tile is deleted from a montage to minimize blank space between tiles. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Each support block assembly includes first and second support blocks. The first support block has a first opening extending therethrough in a horizontal direction, and the second support block has a second opening extending therethrough in the horizontal direction. The second support block is inserted into the first opening of the first support block.
