Abstract: A micro-isolator is described. The micro-isolator may include a first isolator element, a second isolator element, and a first dielectric material separating the first isolator element from the second isolator element. A second dielectric material may completely or partly encapsulate the second isolator element, or may be present at outer corners of the second isolator element. The second dielectric material may have a larger bandgap than the first dielectric material, and its configuration may reduce electrostatic charge injection into the first dielectric material. The micro-isolator may be formed using microfabrication techniques.

Abstract: Physical Internet (PI) dynamic principal interface node (PIN) port selection includes selecting a primary maritime port as a PIN in a routing of freight aboard a sea going vessel from an origin node to a destination node in a PI model and receiving a disruption event in the PI model indicating an inability of the vessel to berth at the primary maritime port. A cluster of alternative PINs is determined in connection with the destination node of the PI model and a routing score computed for each alternative PIN based upon a cost of routing the freight through each alternative PIN. Finally, a new routing is established in the PI model utilizing an optimal alternative PIN in lieu of the selected PIN based upon a corresponding routing score, and a message is transmitted to the vessel to divert to a secondary maritime port associated with the optimal alternative PIN.

Abstract: Recursive multi-criteria Physical Internet (PI) freight orchestration includes the loading a hierarchy of connected nodes and specifying a starting node and ending node within the hierarchy. Different combinations of the connected nodes are determined which connect the starting node and the ending node, each defining a corresponding routing of the freight in a set of possible routings. Thereafter, for each corresponding routing of the freight, a route value is recursively computed from the starting node through the ending node and across different intermediate nodes of the routing for the freight connecting the starting node and the ending node. Each recursively computed route value is processed in order to select, amongst the possible routings, a selected routing for transporting the freight to the geographic destination and a record can be written with the selected routing for transporting the freight to the geographic destination.

Abstract: The optimized dynamic scheduling of barges in inland waterways includes geolocating a set of barges positioned on an inland waterway and receiving current data for the inland waterway at each geolocation of each barge in the set. An estimated time of arrival (ETA) for each barge is retrieved from a table at a location for each barge along the inland waterway at which point the barge unloads onboard freight rendering the barge available to receive transport of new freight. Each ETA is modified for each barge according to the received current data at multiple different positions along a route in the inland waterway. Finally, an availability table for the barges in the set is constructed based upon each modified ETA so that barge availability queries received from over a computer communications network can be responded to with availability information stored in the availability table.

Abstract: Critical infrastructure (CI) protection blueprint generation in an interdependent CI architecture includes constructing a digital twin of a heterogeneous collection of CI elements associated with respectively different services provided to a common community. Thereafter, hypothetical sensor data is specified in the digital twin for a target CI element in the hierarchy. In response, sensor data is read for other CI elements dependent upon the target CI element so as to identify impacted CI elements. For each impacted CI element, additional sensor data is read for further CI elements in the hierarchy dependent upon the impacted CI elements and the process repeats until no additional impacted CI elements are identified. A listing of all impacted CI elements is written to a blueprint for the hierarchy in association with the hypothetical sensor data in order to define a cascading effect of the hypothetical sensor data upon the hierarchy within the digital twin.

Abstract: Critical infrastructure (CI) blueprint selection for optimized response to state changing conditions includes defining a hierarchy of interdependent CI elements of a community in a digital twin and receiving characterization data for different nodes of the digital twin. A fingerprint is generated for the hierarchy based upon the characterization and a blueprint which corresponds to the fingerprint retrieved from a data store, the blueprint defining a set of parameters to be applied to different computing elements of different nodes in the hierarchy determined to minimize a cascading effect of a state changing condition in one of the nodes. Finally, the set of parameters of the retrieved blueprint is applied to corresponding computing elements of the digital twin and a state changing condition is simulated in the digital twin in a selected node so as to compute the cascading effect of the state changing condition to other nodes dependent upon the selected node.

Abstract: Electric vehicle charging scheduling includes receiving repeated sensor readings of a battery of an electric vehicle, the readings monitoring a charge of the battery while the electric vehicle proceeds along a contemporaneously scheduled route. Then, a geolocation of the electric vehicle is determined and a database queried with the geolocation. A charging station is then identified within geographic proximity of the geolocation of the electric vehicle. As well, a route scheduled for the electric vehicle after the contemporaneously scheduled route is determined. Thereafter, a threshold charge is computed that is requisite to complete both the contemporaneously scheduled route and also at least a portion of the route scheduled after the contemporaneously scheduled route. Finally, in response to a determination that the monitored charge on the battery is below the threshold level, an alert is displayed indicating to charge the battery at the identified charging station.

Abstract: The self-audited routing of a shipping container includes acquiring a contemporaneous location of a shipping container within location based circuitry of a computing device affixed to the shipping container and retrieving from memory of the computing device affixed to the shipping container, an expected node and a destination node from a sequence of nodes in a path from an origin node of the shipping container, to the destination node. The contemporaneous location is then compared to a location of the expected node and, on the condition that the contemporaneous location is not within a threshold distance of the location of the expected node, a message is transmitted from the computing device over a wireless computer communications network to a remotely disposed client computer indicating a fault in routing of the shipping container to the destination node.

Abstract: Internet-of-Things (IoT) prioritized sensor authentication management includes receiving in an IoT gateway different packets of data from different sensors over a computer communications network. For each received packet of data from a corresponding one of the different sensors, the received packet of data is compared to a pattern associated with the corresponding one of the different sensors.

But otherwise, the received packet of data is placed into quarantine in memory of the IoT gateway, authentication of the corresponding one of the different sensors is performed, and in response to the authentication, the packet is released from quarantine, the sensor value extracted from the received packet of data and transmitted to the sensor monitor.

Abstract: An authenticated container access method includes selecting both a destination node for a shipping container positioned at a contemporaneous node and also a next node selected on a path from the contemporaneous node to the destination node. The method additionally includes writing both the next node and the destination node in an origin token along with an identification of an authorized individual enabled to access the shipping container, and then both storing the origin token in a computing device affixed to the shipping container and also transmitting the origin token to a computer at the next node. A request to access the shipping container is later received in the computing device and the token, extracted from the request. The tokens are compared and access to the shipping container permitted on condition that an identification value in the extracted token matches the identification of the authorized individual in the origin token.
