Abstract: Embodiments for managing skills as a cluster using machine learning and a domain knowledge expert by a processor. An adjacency of one or more target skills and one or more skills of each of a plurality of entities may be determined. The adjacency of skills may be used to generate one or more skill clusters. One or more domain knowledge experts may be used to correct the one or more skill clusters. The skill clusters corrected by the domain knowledge experts may be used to correct the skill adjacencies. The corrected skill adjacencies may be used to select candidates for reskilling. A skill demand of the one or more skill clusters may be forecasted.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for providing a local computation service on client device authorized by a remote service provider while keeping local data private from the remote service provider. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises transmitting, by a device operatively coupled to a processor, a homomorphic encryption public key and homomorphically encrypted input data to a service provider. The computer-implemented method also comprises receiving, by the device from the service provider, a homomorphically encrypted signature generated based on the homomorphic encryption public key, the homomorphically encrypted input data, and a homomorphic encryption equivalent defined function.

Abstract: Embodiments for estimating substitutability between skills by combining skill similarities from one or more data sources by a processor. An adjacency of skill similarity of one or more skills of one or more entities may be determined. The adjacency of skill similarity may be used to generate one or more skill clusters. Skill demand of the one or more skill clusters may be forecasted.

Abstract: A web browser executes on a device that has controllable operational features, such as sensor, actuator, and process-related features, and that is connected to other devices via a network. The web browser receives a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) document including HTML device tags. Each of the HTML device tags includes a command configured to control a corresponding one of the operational features of the device. The web browser determines, based on each HTML device tag, the command therein to control the corresponding operational feature. The web browser issues the determined command to the corresponding operational feature so as to control the operational feature.

Abstract: Polypyrrole/carbon (PPy/C) composite doped with organic anion p-toluenesulfonate (pTS) is utilized as an electrode in supercapacitor for energy storage application. The surface initiated in-situ chemical oxidative polymerization yields a composite material PPy/C in the presence of varying concentrations of pTS. The novelty of the present invention lies in the doping of PPy/C composite with organic anion pTS and consequent enhancement of its electrochemical activity and stability. The conjugation length and electrical conductivity of pTS doped PPy/C composites increase with the increase in dopant concentration. The pTS doped PPy/C composite synthesized using equimolar concentration (0.1 M) of pTS to pyrrole shows the maximum specific capacitance of ˜395 F/g in 0.5 M Na2SO4 aqueous solution with significant stability ˜95% capacitance retention after ˜500 cycles.

Abstract: A web browser configured to execute on a network element receives a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) document including HTML network service tags. The network service tags include commands to cause a corresponding network action to be taken in connection with the network element, such as configuring and/or causing information to be read from the network element. The web browser determines, based on each HTML network service tag, the command to cause the network action to be taken in connection with the network element. The web browser issues the determined command for each HTML network service tag to a corresponding application program interface (API), which in turn cause the network action to be taken in connection with the network element.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a switch. The switch includes a storage and a lookup mechanism. The storage stores a first table that contains an entry corresponding to a media access control (MAC) address of a device and an identifier of a remote switch associated with the device. The storage also stores a second table that contains an entry indicating a local outgoing interface corresponding to the remote switch. The lookup mechanism identifies the local outgoing interface corresponding to the device based on the first table and the second table.

Abstract: An online protection suite provides password management and a dashboard set of services combining single-click access to user accounts and a simple browser window automatically filled with offers for a variety of related products and services targeted especially for particular users. Each user is identified to a business partner server with a unique customer automatically sent from a simple browser embedded in the password management dashboard. The business partner server returns a webpage back to the simple browser that has been constructed especially for this user by leveraging sensitive and proprietary information collected by the business partner. Such customer information is not directly accessible to the password manager.

Abstract: A security system for defending online users against fraudsters and malicious websites comprises a back-end network server and appropriate apps for each protected user device. An otherwise conventional network server is enhanced with application software instructions for a centralized software-as-a-service (SaaS) to respond to network requests from user devices operating variously under ANDROID-type, APPLE IOS-type, and MICROSOFT WINDOWS-type operating systems. The SaaS investigates, surveys, and watches websites. It calculates confidence scores related to financial fraud and the acceptability and risk to said users of visiting particular websites. It maintains a trusted network database of website URL's calculated to belong to financial websites that can be trusted and present acceptable levels of fraud and financial risk to its visitors. Each user device application provides for secure password management and access via a security browser to websites in the trusted network.
