Abstract: An example computing device includes a first storage device storing a firmware. The computing device also includes a second storage device storing an operating system of the computing device. The computing device further includes a processor. The processor is to retrieve a recovery agent from another computing device via the firmware; validate the recovery agent; execute the recovery agent to retrieve recovery data; validate the recovery data; and repair the operating system using the recovery data via the recovery agent.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to storage of network credentials. In an example, a computing apparatus for storage of network credentials includes a processor, a first memory to store an operating system of the computing apparatus, a second memory to store firmware for initiating the computing apparatus, a third memory, and a controller. Responsive to power-on of the computing apparatus, the operating system of the computing apparatus can access an agent application in the first memory, provision a wireless network credential using the agent application, and encrypt the wireless network credential using the agent application. The firmware stored by the second memory can, in response to receiving the encrypted wireless network credential from the first memory, store the encrypted wireless network credential in the third memory.

Abstract: An automatic animal processing device for automatically processing a domestic animal from its stall the animal while restraining the animal and without impeding passage in the aisle. The animal processing device, while operating, allows a person to walk-by the system with minimal constraints. The animal processing device may be a milking machine may be a milking machine having a milking head assembly and a cleaning system. The animal processing device may be mounted on a movable platform, such that the processing device may be automatically moved from one stall to the next. For installations in which the processing device is installed on tracks in the middle of two rows of animals, the processing device may be rotatable on its movable platform, such that it may process the animals of both sides of the aisle.

Abstract: In an example implementation, a method of controlling activity of a device includes concurrently detecting multiple unique device identifier (UDIDs) within proximity of a primary device, and determining that the multiple UDIDs are associated with a primary device activity. The method includes performing the activity while the concurrent detection of the multiple UDIDs persists, and stopping the activity when the concurrent detection of the multiple UDIDs stops.

Abstract: Examples disclose a cable to secure data transmission. Examples of the cable include a connector to connect to a computing device for data transmission. Further, the examples of the cable include an active component coupled to the connector and embedded in the cable. The active component is to at least perform one of encrypt and decrypt the data transmitted on the cable.
