Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining focus of a user is provided. User input is received. An intention image of a scene including a plurality of interactive objects is generated. The intention image includes pixels encoded with intention values determined based on the user input. An intention value indicates a likelihood that the user intends to focus on the pixel. An intention score is determined for each interactive object based on the intention values of pixels that correspond to the interactive object. An interactive object of the plurality of interactive objects is determined to be a focused object that has the user's focus based on the intention scores of the plurality of interactive objects.

Abstract: Executable memory space is protected by receiving, from a process, a request to configure a portion of memory with a memory protection attribute that allows the process to perform at least one memory operation on the portion of the memory. Thereafter, the request is responded to with a grant, configuring the portion of memory with a different memory protection attribute than the requested memory protection attribute. The different memory protection attribute restricting the at least one memory operation from being performed by the process on the portion of the memory. In addition, it is detected when the process attempts, in accordance with the grant, the at least one memory operation at the configured portion of memory. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system for calculating a fingerprint across a data set by identifying a data set to hash, the data set comprising a set of data blocks, generating, by a first hash engine, a first hash for each data block in the set of data blocks within the data set, and generating, by a second hash engine, a second hash for each data block in the set of data blocks within the data set.

Abstract: A system for hashing a data set by identifying a data set to deduplicate based on a hash block size and to compress based on a compression block size, where the hash block size is smaller than the compression block size, defining a set of data blocks within the data set based on the hash block size, generating a hash for each data block in the set of data blocks within the data set, deduplicating a data block in the data set based on a respective hash for the data block, and compressing the data set based on the compression block size.

Abstract: Flow path assemblies having features for positioning the assemblies within a gas turbine engine are provided. For example, a flow path assembly comprises an inner wall and a unitary outer wall that includes an integral combustion portion and turbine portion, the combustor portion extending through a combustion section of the gas turbine engine and the turbine portion extending through at least a first turbine stage of a turbine section of the gas turbine engine. The flow path assembly further comprises at least two positioning members for radially centering the flow path assembly within the gas turbine engine. The positioning members extend to the flow path assembly from one or more structures external to the flow path assembly, constrain the flow path assembly tangentially, and allow radial and axial movement of the flow path assembly. Other embodiments for positioning flow path assemblies also are provided.

Abstract: Bypass detection modules associated with a device are provided. The bypass detection module is configured to determine if one of more switches have been opened to remove service from a customer; monitor electrical characteristic associated with both a line side of the device and a load side of the device responsive to determining that one of more of the one or more switches have been opened to remove service from the customer; and determine a state of the device based on the monitored electrical characteristics.

Abstract: Methods and systems for operating a moving platform to determine data associated with a target person or object are disclosed. In an example method to determine at least one of an object or an activity associated with the target, a first moving platform, configured with a first type of sensor, is caused to move to an area associated with the target. The target is located at the area. An attempt is made to determine, via the first moving platform and the first type of sensor, the at least one of the object or activity. Based on the attempt, a second moving platform, configured with a second type of sensor, is caused to move to the area. The at least one of the object or activity associated with the target is determined via the second moving platform and the second type of sensor.

Abstract: Methods and systems for operating a moving platform to determine an identity of an unidentified target are disclosed. In an example method to determine the identity of the unidentified target, a first moving platform, configured with a first type of sensor, is caused to move to an area associated with the target. An attempt is made to determine, via the first moving platform and the first type of sensor, the identity of the target. Based on the attempt, a second moving platform, configured with a second type of sensor, is caused to move to the area. The identity of the target is determined via the second moving platform and the second type of sensor.

Abstract: A system may be configured to provide a main body, configured to house a plugin card, and a card connector, including a first printed circuit board (PCB) having a backplane configured to electrically couple to the plugin card, a third PCB having a plurality of ruggedized connectors configured to couple to an external system, and a second PCB interposed between the first and third PCBs. The processor may be mounted on the second PCB and may determine a state of at least a portion of the system based on a sensor output, an input signal and/or an output signal, and an internal data value. The state may comprise at least one of operational, less than operational, tampered, needing maintenance, needing repair, and not working. And the determination may be performed via one or more criteria being satisfied.

Abstract: A system may include a plurality of rack-mountable, ruggedized drawers, each comprising a main body, a set of fans, a power supply, and a card connector. Connections may be provided, via a backplane of each of the card connectors, to a set of plugin cards each installed in the respective main body. A processor of the card connector of one of the drawers may represent the drawers by communicating information with an external third party.

Abstract: A card connector that is removably fixable to a main body of a carrier system. For example, an outer flange of the card connector may be removably fixed (e.g., with fasteners, such as bolts) to the main body of the carrier system. A protrusion of the card connector may include a connector configured to electrically couple to the plugin card. The protrusion may extend into an interior of the main body when the card connector is removably fixed to the main body, such that the plugin card is disposed entirely within the main body. The card connector provides for a user to easily remove the card connector from the main body (e.g. by unfastening bolts and sliding the card connector out of the main body) and removably fix a new card connector to the main body. The new card connector may include different internal electronics or external porting than the original card connector.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detecting user-object interaction in mixed-reality environments. A mixed-reality system detects a controller gesture with an associated controller orientation in the mixed-reality environment. The mixed-reality system then determines an interaction region for the controller gesture and identifies one or more virtual objects within the interaction region. The virtual objects each have an associated orientation affinity. Subsequently, the mixed-reality system determines an orientation similarity score between the controller orientation and the orientation affinity for each virtual object within the interaction region. In response to determining that at least one orientation similarity score exceeds a predetermined threshold, the mixed-reality system executes an interaction between the controller and the virtual object that has the greatest orientation similarity score.

The first and second mating features may be dovetail elements.
