Abstract: A tagging system gathers all events (tagged and untagged) generated by remote sensors at a location or facility over time. Based on the gathered events the tagging system uses machine learning to train a model to learn the sensor layout of a facility or location and the timing between the triggering of sensors. Once trained, the model can predict the movement and location of individuals and objects throughout the facility based on a starting tagged event. Given a series of tagged and untagged events, the system can use the movement predictions of the model to tag the untagged events in the series with the identification of an individual or object that triggered the generation of the untagged event.

Abstract: An autonomous surface vessel includes an elongate body, and a sampling system operatively coupled to the body and including one or more sampling modules, wherein each sampling module includes a housing including a storage container, a sampling material receivable within the storage container, an actuation system operatively coupled to the sampling material via a lead line, and an end cap operatively coupled to the lead line and matable with an open end of the storage container. A computer system is in communication with the sampling system to operate the actuation system, wherein each sampling module is actuatable between a stowed state, where the sampling material is received within the storage container and the end cap sealingly engages the open end, and a deployed state, where the end cap is disengaged from the open end and the sampling material is drawn out of the sampling container.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are provided for fingerprinting requests, such as transaction records. A transaction record or other suitable request may be parsed to identify a parameter values for a set of fields relevant to fingerprinting. A transaction record representation may be generated based on transaction input data, transaction output data, intermediate data, or combinations thereof. A fingerprint may be generated from the transaction record implementation. Fingerprints may be used to identify various test cases that can be used for regression testing.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a modular insert float system and method that can be inserted into a casing and attached to the casing internal surface by internal slips and sealing components. The system is modular in that three main components: an upper valve assembly, a lower valve assembly, and a pair of casing anchor and seal assemblies along with top and bottom shoes form a kit that can be used for virtually any casing of a given size regardless of the threads, casing material grades, length of joint, or other variations. Further, the system allows for insertion of the casing into the wellbore without damaging the formation from forcing wellbore fluid into the formation and causing the loss of wellbore fluid in the wellbore.

Abstract: Techniques for separately accounting for multiple transactions in the same data packets communicated over a network using Transport Control Protocol (TCP) include receiving an Internet Protocol (IP) data packet that includes Transport Control Protocol (TCP) payload data. The TCP payload is parsed to determine boundary data that indicates a byte location on a boundary between a first transaction and a second transaction. A byte count that indicates a number of bytes in the TCP payload associated with the first transaction is determined based on the boundary data. Accounting data for the first transaction is determined based at least in part on the byte count. These techniques allow a service gateway to bill separately for different requests and responses carried in TCP data packets, such as those for Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP).

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus for a distributed security system that provides security processing for security customers external to network edges of external systems. Each security customer is associated with one or more external systems. The security system can monitor data communications originating from or destined to the external systems and generate security-related information based on the monitored communications. For each security customer, the system can aggregate the system information from each external system associated with that customer, regardless of the geographical location of the system.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus for identifying web risks use a web risk service external to network edges of at least one system. The web risk service receives a web request from a computer within the at least one system, the web request identifying at least one network address. The web risk service determines a web risk index score for the at least one network address, and compares the determined web risk index score to at least one threshold value. Based on the comparison, the service determines how to handle the web request, e.g., by forwarding, blocking, and/or logging the web request.

Abstract: Systems and methods for insuring successful initiation of a resonating micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS). An example system includes a resonating sensor, a drive device, a charge amplifier, and a voltage gain circuit. At start up, the charge amplifier and voltage gain circuit receives signals from the resonating sensor, compensates this signal for DC offsets, and generates a clock signal for the drive, thus placing the resonating sensor in a steady state operating mode. The circuit includes a plurality of gain switches that are toggled to produce a glitch in the signal associated with the received signal. The glitch overcomes the DC offset. A comparator generates the clock signal for the drive device if a signal associated with the received signal exceeds a reference signal.
