Abstract: In a method of facilitating interaction between a user of an augmented reality (AR) mobile device and a first real-world object, a display device is caused to superimpose digital information on portions of a process control environment within a field of view of a camera of the device. The superimposed information is associated with nodes in a map of the environment, and the nodes correspond to other objects in the environment. The display is caused to indicate a direction to the first object. After detecting a user input that indicates selection of the first object, the display is caused to superimpose, on a portion of the process control environment currently within the field of view, a digital model or image of the first object. A user interface is caused to provide one or more virtual controls and/or one or more displays associated with the first object.

Abstract: A system for securing electronic devices includes a processor, non-transitory machine readable storage medium communicatively coupled to the processor, security applications, and a security controller. The security controller includes computer-executable instructions on the medium that are readable by the processor. The security application is configured to determine a suspicious file from a client using the security applications, identify whether the suspicious file has been encountered by other clients using the security applications, calculate a time range for which the suspicious file has been present on the clients, determine resources accessed by the suspicious file during the time range, and create a visualization of the suspicious file, a relationship between the suspicious file and the clients, the time range, and the resources accessed by the suspicious file during the time range.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods to perform coordinated blocking of source addresses, such as an Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, across a plurality of network appliances (e.g., gateways). In one disclosed embodiment the method and system temporarily alter a configuration of one or more network appliances (based on user defined configuration parameters) to allow communication from a “blocked” IP address for a period of time. A network appliance can then “receive” an email and perform analysis and provide results of the analysis to a reputation service. Thereby, the temporarily allowed communication can be used to learn information about a threat which would not have been available if all communication from that IP address had actually been blocked at the network appliance.

Abstract: Distribution and management of services in virtual environments is described herein. In one or more implementations, a service distribution and management model is implemented in which system services and applications are seamlessly distributed across multiple containers which each implement a different runtime environment. In one or more implementations, a system for distributing access to services in a host operating system of a computing device includes a host operating system configured to implement a host runtime environment, and one or more services implemented by the host operating system. The system further includes a service control manager configured to enable communication between a client stub of a service implemented in a client runtime environment and a service provider of the service that is implemented in a service runtime environment that is separate from the first client runtime environment.

Abstract: In some embodiments of the present disclosure, systems and methods for monitoring operation of a pump are provided. In some embodiments, a system comprises: a pressure switch, comprising: a PCB within a housing; a power supply; a wireless gateway module configured to establishes a wireless connection to a wireless network; a pressure sensor; a microcontroller that: establishes a second wireless connection to a mobile device; receives instructions from the mobile device; connect to the first wireless network based on the instructions; determine pressure; control operation of the pump based on the pressure; determine that a fault has occurred, automatically stop operation of the pump, and send a message to a server over the first wireless network; and receive instructions from the mobile device via the server and the first wireless network to change a setting of the pressure switch.

Abstract: A tone mapping unit applies tone mapping to a block of pixel values. In each of a plurality of iterations, one or more lines of pixel values are processed based on information relating to pixel values of at least one previous line of the block which have been processed in at least one previous iteration. The information is used to determine one or more tone mapping relationships which is/are used to map the pixel values of the current line to tone-mapped pixel values. Furthermore, the information is updated based on the pixel values of the current line and stored for use in processing pixel values of a subsequent line of pixel values of the block in a subsequent iteration.

Abstract: Methods of fixing defective pixels are described wherein a predicted value for a target pixel in a target color channel is determined based on the values of nearby pixels, wherein the target pixel value can be selectively replaced with the predicted value. The predicted value is determined by determining a candidate value for each of a plurality of directions using: (i) a gradient of pixel values in one color channel along the respective direction and (ii) a pixel value of a pixel in the target color channel which is aligned with the target pixel along the respective direction. Using gradients can provide better predicted values than averaging nearby pixel values since rates of change of pixel values are taken into account. The median of the candidate values may be used in order to reduce the impact of other defective pixels on the predicted value for the target pixel.

Abstract: An image processing system is described herein in which a multi-line processing block has multiple inputs and multiple outputs. In order to provide the multiple outputs the multi-line processing block has multiple processing units operating in parallel on the multiple inputs. The multiple outputs of the multi-line processing block are coupled to corresponding multiple inputs of a subsequent multi-line processing block in the image processing system.

Abstract: A system, a shelf, and a high density platform optimize the physical arrangement of cards to maximize cooling effectiveness and line card pitch while minimizing backplane trace lengths between line interface and switch fabric cards. The shelf and system and associated card arrangement supports scaling to a larger, double-size system that maintains the required length of backplane traces for card communications without compromising card cooling. Advantageously, the shelf and system maintains full NEBS compliance through an arrangement supporting full air intake/outtake through a front and/or back of the shelf or system, i.e. no side ventilation, and includes a false front to ensure all cards (switch fabric and line interface cards) are substantially flush with one another.
