Abstract: Methods of controlling an in-line heater for an energy storage device are provided. A determination is made that a pump is running. When running, the pump circulates a thermal management fluid through a thermal management conditioning loop, which includes the in-line heater and a heat transfer hardware configured to transfer heat between the thermal management fluid and the energy storage device, wherein the in-line heater is in thermal communication with the thermal management fluid. The in-line heater is turned on in response to the determination that the pump is running and a temperature of the thermal management fluid is below a lower control limit.

Abstract: Techniques described herein can perform obfuscation detection on command lines used at computing devices in a network. In response to detecting obfuscation in a command line, the disclosed techniques can output a notification for use in connection with network security analysis. The command line obfuscation detection techniques include pre-processing command line input data and converting command lines into token groups. The token groups are then provided as an input to a natural language processor or other machine learned model, which is trained to identify obfuscation probabilities associated with token groups can corresponding command lines. A notification is generated to trigger further analysis in response to an obfuscation probability exceeding a threshold obfuscation probability.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems, devices, and methods for performing optical multianalyte detection in a sample, such as a human blood sample.
