Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for Internet of Things (IoT) network-connected devices. Embodiments include methods and systems for registering one or more listener devices (e.g., mobile phones or tablets, etc.) to receive messages from one or more notification devices (e.g., web cameras, etc.). A notification server is selected from among multiple notification servers to receive notification messages from the notification devices and then to forward (e.g., through a push service, etc.) portions of or variations of the notification messages to the listener devices. In some embodiments, the selection of the notification server is based on load balancing between the multiple notification servers and/or push servers. In some embodiments, the selection of a notification server and/or push server is based on a provisioning file.

Abstract: A lighting system is provided with a device for emitting light in response to receiving electrical current, a microprocessor and a current source. The microprocessor is programmed to provide a color control signal and an intensity control signal that are independently controllable relative to each other. The current source is adapted to provide the electrical current to the device at an amplitude based on the color control signal and at an on-off timing based on the intensity control signal.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for Internet-connected device deployment, and to techniques for secure device deployment using a partially-encrypted provisioning file.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic data masking are disclosed. The disclosed methods and systems can be used to dynamically mask data in cryptographic operations, such as advanced encryption standard (AES) operations, data encryption standard (DES) operations or triple DES operations. Specifically, data in cryptographic operations can be covered with unlimited and continuously changing masks. As an example, the Substitution table, key schedule, and state register in AES, or key schedule and selection functions in a DES or triple DES can be covered with unlimited and constantly changing masks. In an aspect, dynamic masking operations can be combined with orbital RAM algorithm and no-operation clocks to make power signature analysis in cryptographic attacks even more difficult.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for establishing secured connections between trusted users and a plurality of networkable consumer devices In different embodiments, various features may be further incorporated in association with the system, method, and computer program product, for improvement purposes.

Abstract: A computer system tracks litigation cases at an insurance company. The computer system provides centralized storage for litigation case data, and causes display devices to display data related to the litigation cases. The data may relate to amounts recovered by the insurance company in subrogation actions, amounts recovered by the insurance company in connection with frivolous claims that it is forced to defend, and/or costs incurred by the insurance company in bringing an interpleader action. The computer system may limit access to retrieved litigation data to authorized individuals and/or to authorized subject areas.

Abstract: A machine for distributing blowing wool from a bag of compressed blowing wool is provided. The machine includes a chute having an inlet end configured to receive the bag of compressed blowing wool. A shredding chamber is positioned downstream from the chute and configured to shred and pick apart the blowing wool. The shredding chamber includes a plurality of shredders configured for rotation. Each shredder includes a plurality of paddle assemblies mounted to a shredder shaft. Each paddle assembly has a plurality of paddles. The paddles have a hardness within the range of 60 A to 70 A Durometer to better grip the blowing wool for shredding and prevent jamming of the blowing wool within the shredder.
