Abstract: A cyber threat detection and deception system interoperates synergistically with a data storage management system. As a proxy for identifying crown jewels among many and diverse data assets in a network, the illustrative cyber threat detection and deception system uses service level information obtained from the data storage management system, e.g., RPO, RTO, append-only secondary storage, synthetic-full frequency, etc. The cyber threat detection and deception system emulates proprietary protocols used by storage management technologies such as the data storage management system, etc. By creating emulation traps and an emulation lexicon of these storage-related protocols, the illustrative cyber threat detection and deception system can create and execute cyber deception plans for the proprietary storage management assets.

Abstract: Systems and techniques may be used for real time monitoring of content of a package. An example technique may include receiving sensor data sent from a first wireless telecommunications transmitter of a sensor device inside a package in transit, located together with content in the package, identifying whether the sensor data indicates that the content in the package was subjected to a condition outside of a specified range and receiving a status request for the package sent from a second wireless telecommunications transmitter of a mobile device based on a scanned machine-readable code on or affixed via a label to an outside face of the package. In response to receiving the status request, the technique may include sending an indication for display on the mobile device.

Abstract: A portable kitchen assembly for cold storage and cooking of food items includes a housing, which defines an interior space. A power module is engaged to the housing. A cooktop is engaged to an upper facet of the housing and is operationally engaged to the power module. An oven is engaged to the housing and is positioned in the interior space so that a door of the oven is accessible from a front of the housing. Food items can be heated on the cooktop or baked or cooked in the oven. A cooling unit is engaged to the housing and is positioned in the interior space so that a door of the cooling unit is accessible from the front of the housing. The cooling unit provides cold storage for a food item. A set of wheels is engaged to a lower facet of the housing allows for locomotion of the housing across a surface.

Abstract: A system for providing a NO-containing gas flow to treat a biological object. The system includes a nozzle receptacle for receiving NO-rich air from a plasma-generated NO source, tubing coupled to the nozzle for directing the NO-rich air to a scrubber, the scrubber configured to receive a solvent for absorbing NO2, tubing coupled between the scrubber and a gas mixer for directing scrubbed NO-rich air to the gas mixer, where the gas mixer is coupled to a source of atmospheric air for selectively mixing the scrubbed NO-rich air with the atmospheric air to create diluted NO-containing air; and a manifold for distributing the diluted NO-containing air to a plurality of patient locations.

Abstract: A surface cleaning apparatus is provided with a primary fluid distributor and an auxiliary fluid distributor. Each distributor can have a separate and independent flow control actuator. The flow control actuator for the auxiliary fluid distributor is operably coupled with a push-push flow control mechanism, where push-push flow control mechanism has a push on/push off configuration such that pushing the auxiliary flow control actuator once starts fluid flow from the auxiliary fluid distributor and subsequently pushing the auxiliary flow control actuator again stops fluid flow from the auxiliary fluid distributor.

Abstract: A manufacturing tool for forming composite structures includes at least one interchangeable mold template having a plurality of incorporated part shapes, and a backbone that connects to and supports the at least one interchangeable mold template during a process of laying up prepreg composite material to form a plurality of three-dimensional structures corresponding to the plurality of incorporated part shapes.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of vehicle safety and monitoring systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cloud-based vehicle surveillance system for personal and commercial vehicles. The cloud-based vehicle surveillance system is comprised of a plurality of video cameras that may be mounted inside or outside of a vehicle, or on roadside objects such as light poles, bridges, medians, etc. Further, video, photograph, and audio content recorded by the cameras can be uploaded to a cloud based server to enable individuals, insurance companies, police departments and the like to access the uploaded data for monitoring driving practices of drivers to increase/decrease insurance premiums, issue tickets/citations, etc.

Abstract: An additive manufacturing method for improved core structure includes splitting a computational model into sequentially queued individual model segments based on a predetermined number of slices with a predetermined orientation, and building a part in layers applied sequentially to form a final part having a core portion supported with a custom in-fill pattern. An additive manufacturing system for providing an improved core structure supported by a custom in-fill pattern includes a controller having instructions for individual model segments based on slices of a solid model, and a 3D printer for sequentially printing individual model segments in adjacent layers. A 3D-printed part includes a first exterior surface separated by a gap from a second exterior surface, and an internal core structure within the gap for mechanically connecting the first exterior surface to the second exterior surface. The internal core structure includes a custom in-fill pattern of support members.
