  • Publication number: 20210266330
    Abstract: A data processing system includes technology to enable implicit integrity to be used for digital communications. That technology comprises a hardware processor and an implicit integrity engine (IIE) responsive to the processor. For instance, in response to the data processing system receiving a communication that contains a message, the IIE is to automatically analyze the communication to determine whether the message was sent with implicit integrity. If the message was sent with implicit integrity, the IIE is to automatically use a pattern matching algorithm to analyze entropy characteristics of a plaintext version of the message, and to automatically determine whether the message has low entropy, based on results of the pattern matching algorithm and a predetermined entropy threshold. If the message does not have low entropy, the IIE is to automatically determine that the message has been corrupted. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20210262379
    Abstract: An exhaust header with an integrated heat shield is disclosed. In one aspect of the disclosure, the exhaust header comprises a body including an inner wall that defines a cavity through which exhaust gases can be routed. An outer wall is integrally formed with, and radially offset from, the inner wall to define an air gap through which an airflow can be received at an input of the exhaust header and passed along a periphery of the body to collect thermal radiation and route it through an outlet duct. In some embodiments, the exhaust header is coupled to a turbocharger, which itself is coupled to an exhaust outlet of the body and separately, the air gap for effecting an airflow about the turbocharger's perimeter. Further, in various embodiments, the exhaust header is additively manufactured to produce the integrated heat shield and other header components.

  • Publication number: 20210264493
    Abstract: Techniques described in this application are direct to facilitating curation of dish items. For example, a plurality of dish items (e.g., entre, appetizer, chicken dish, rice, drinks, etc.) may be received by a plurality of merchants that offer dish items for ordering in a network communication environment. The system can parse and analyze dish information to identify positive or negative indicators with respect to a plurality of ingredient-based lenses (e.g., only show dish items that are vegetarian, gluten-free, or spicy, or only show items based on a historical user preference, etc.). When a user selects a particular ingredient-based lens, the system can determine a subset of available dish items from the plurality of merchants by removing dish items from all available dish items. The resulting dish items that correspond with the selected ingredient-based lens can be provided to a graphical user interface (GUI) at a user device of the user.
