Abstract: A secure private network connectivity system (SNCS) within a cloud service provider infrastructure (CSPI) is described that provides secure private network connectivity between external resources residing in a customer's on-premise environment and the customer's resources residing in the cloud. The SNCS provides secure private bi-directional network connectivity between external resources residing in a customer's external site representation and resources and services residing in the customer's VCN in the cloud without a user (e.g., an administrator) of the enterprise having to explicitly configure the external resources, advertise routes or set up site-to-site network connectivity.

Abstract: An application that is running on a first computing device can receive personal information from a personal information manager that is running on a second computing device. The first computing device can operate using a first platform and the second computing device can operate using a second platform that is different from the first platform. The first computing device can include a first broker, and the second computing device can include a second broker. The first broker and the second broker can be configured to establish a trusted connection between the first computing device and the second computing device. The first broker can additionally be configured to request personal information from the personal information manager via the second broker. The first broker can be configured to automatically request the personal information in response to determining that the application on the first computing device has requested the personal information.

Abstract: Communications involving one or more people wearing face coverings are enhanced over one or more modalities using sensor integrations. In one particular example, a face covering device according to the implementations of this disclosure may include one or more microphones and one or more cameras which capture input directly from the wearer of the face covering device. The input is processed to produce output representing the input in the same modality or in a different modality, and in particular is scaled to, for example, increase a volume of audio and introduce a visual representation of an expression of the wearer's face which is at least partially obscured by the face covering device.

Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for executing a computing skill are provided.

Abstract: Presented here is a system and method for creating easy-to-understand notifications of the vehicle state. The notification can be visual or can be auditory and can indicate to the user the vehicle state even when the user's attention is directed elsewhere. The indication can serve to attract the user's attention before more involved information is presented to the user, such as text, or the indication can serve to communicate to the user the vehicle state in an easy-to-understand way such as using color-coded displays or audio indications. The intensity of the indication can be adjusted based on the likelihood that indication will be perceived by the user by, for example, measuring ambient light and/or ambient noise. Reducing the intensity of the indication conserves energy of an energy source associated with the vehicle.

Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for providing cross-device access to one-time passwords are presented. A user may provide sign-in credentials to a secure service via an application or website user interface. The user may be prompted to authenticate the user's identity by confirming a one-time-password sent from the secure service to a secondary device via an electronic message. The secondary device may analyze received messages, or message notifications, to determine whether they include a one-time-password. If a one-time-password is identified in a received message, the one-time-password may be automatically sent from the secondary device to a target computing device. The one-time-password may be sent securely to the target computing device via Bluetooth, a public-private key process, and/or a cloud-based authentication mechanism. The one-time-password may be automatically inserted into a one-time-password field or copied to a notepad or password manager.

The method comprises: receiving raw APU data from an electronic control unit associated with an APU; downloading one or more tuning parameters from a cloud-based health monitoring system, wherein the one or more tuning parameters includes a threshold level that is adjustable by the cloud-based health monitoring system based on analyzed APU health information; analyzing the raw APU data using the one or more tuning parameters to capture elements of the raw APU data that indicate an APU health concern; reducing the amount of raw APU data in the captured elements by removing raw APU data indicating intermittent or false-positive APU health concerns; and transmitting the captured elements indicating an APU heath concern using an Internet of things protocol to the cloud-based health monitoring system.

Abstract: A system that generates a visualization user interface. The system receives a selection of a data source, and receives a selection of a visualization template that includes metadata. The system further receives a selection of data attributes corresponding to the data source. The system parses the visualization template for the metadata, and replaces the metadata with binding between a visualization component and the data source. The system then generates the visualization user interface using the visualization component.
