Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for generating time-preserving embeddings are provided. User trails of user activities performed by users are generated. Frequencies at which the activities were performed are identified. Indices are assigned to a set of activities identified from the activities as having frequencies above a threshold. Activity descriptions of the set of activities are mapped to the indices to generate a vocabulary. A model is trained using the user trails, timestamps of the activities, and the vocabulary to learn a set of time-preserving embeddings.

Abstract: A method for securing a service implemented on a computer network includes identifying network assets in the computer network used by the service. The method further includes identifying vulnerabilities in one or more of the network assets, determining an asset risk score for each of the network assets, and determining a service risk score for the service. The method involves implementing one or more vulnerability remediation actions on the computer network to reduce the service risk score and secure the service.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for per-device authentication. A hardware serial number associated with a hardware component of a computing device may be received. The hardware serial number may be converted to a hardware key check. A hardware key associated with a certificate from the computing device may be received. The hardware key may be compared to the hardware check key to obtain a verification of the certificate. The certificate may be verified when the hardware key check matches the hardware key and the certificate may not be verified when the hardware key check does not match the hardware key. A signature associated with the certificate may be verified. Access to the data processing apparatus by the computing device may be permitted when the certificate is verified and the signature is determined to be authentic.

Abstract: A method includes outputting, by an information system of a vehicle, for display at a first portion of a display device located at a center console of the information system, a first graphical user interface (GUI) associated with an active application from a plurality of applications. The method includes determining, by the information system, respective relevancy scores of two or more applications from the plurality of applications other than the active application. Each respective relevancy scores indicates a probability that the application will be of interest to a driver of the vehicle while the first GUI is being output for display. The method includes determining, by the information system, based on the respective relevancy scores, a highest ranked application from the two or more applications, and outputting, by the information system, for display at a second portion of the display device, a second GUI associated with the highest ranked application.

Abstract: The disclosed techniques provide systems and methods for deletion of end-user messages, message threads, attachments, and/or other message information. More specifically, a key-value store residing in computer memory on the storage system is described. Each value in the key-value store is indexed by a key and structured to include multiple column portions associated with multiple column families. In one embodiment, a deletion column family having an associated retention policy for data stored therein is defined.

Abstract: An alignment data structure is used to map a logical data block start address to a physical data block start address dynamically, to service a client data access request. A separate alignment data structure can be provided for each data object managed by the storage system. Each such alignment data structure can be stored in, or referenced by a pointer in, the inode of the corresponding data object. A consequence of the mapping is that certain physical storage medium regions are not mapped to any logical data blocks. These unmapped regions may be visible only to the file system layer and layers that reside between the file system layer and the mass storage subsystem. They can be used, if desired, to store system information, i.e., information that is not visible to any storage client.

Abstract: An intermediary device may be utilized to form a communication bridge between a vehicle infotainment system and a remote device. The computing device forming the bridge may send and receive the data sent between the motor vehicle infotainment system and the remote device. The intermediary device may mimic the infotainment system or the remote device and/or an instruction sent by the infotainment system and/or the remote device.

Abstract: I/O bandwidth reduction using storage-level common page information is implemented by a storage server. In response to receiving a request from a client for a page stored at a first virtual address, the storage server determines that the first virtual address maps to a page that is a duplicate of a page stored at a second virtual address. Or the storage server determines that the first and second virtual addresses map to a deduplicated page within a storage system. The storage server then transmits metadata to the client. The metadata maps the first virtual address to a second virtual address that also maps to the deduplicated page.

Abstract: A message tracking engine facilitates processing of a message through a determined workflow. In particular, the message tracking engine may route the message to various services in an order specified by the workflow. During processing, the message tracking engine tracks the progress of the message through the workflow. If any issues are encountered, the message tracking engine handles the encountered issues. In one aspect, the message tracking engine facilitates performance of one or more synchronous processing steps of the workflow during a first phase. Following the first phase, the message tracking engine serializes one or more asynchronous processing steps of the workflow to a storage device. After serializing the asynchronous processing steps, the message tracking engine facilitates performance of the asynchronous processing steps during a second phase.
