Abstract: A toy includes a magnetically responsive member, a fulcrum member, a printed circuit board (PCB), a lid covering the PCB, an activation switch, a touch sensor, a motion sensor, an audio transducer, a signal generator and a controller. The flexible PCB includes an electromagnetic coil, and a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs). Opening of the lid actuates the activation switch, and in response, the controller controls the signal generator to generate a coil control signal for the electromagnetic coil to produce a magnetic field that interacts with the magnetically responsive member, to induce oscillatory flapping of the PCB. In response to detecting a touch signal from the controller, or a motion signal from the motion sensor, the controller also generates a LED control signal to control illumination of the LEDs while the PCB is flapping, and an audio control signal to control the audio transducer to output sound.

Abstract: Example implementations may involve using a prompt to prevent inadvertent control or playback of audio content. When a mobile device receives input data indicating a command to play back audio content on a first playback device, the mobile device determines whether the mobile device is in proximity to the first playback device. If the mobile device determines that the mobile device within a given proximity to the first playback device, the mobile device transmits, via the network interface, one or more commands to instruct the first playback device to play back the audio content. However, if the mobile device determines that the mobile device outside the proximity, the mobile device displays a prompt indicating that the mobile device is the outside the given proximity to the first playback device and a selectable control that, when selected, transmits the one or more commands to play back the audio content.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes for generating, configuring, and implementing a data collection and analytics (DCA) pipeline to optimize the identification of anomalous or vulnerable computing assets and/or anomalous or vulnerable computing asset behavior in cybersecurity computing environments. Raw data from an agent executing on a computing asset is received. A baseline profile or a gold image associated with the computing asset is also received. A difference or delta between the raw data and the baseline profile or the gold image is identified, and an output providing context relating to the difference is generated. The difference relates to a keyed property that is common between the raw data and the base profile or the gold image, and the difference is further filtered to reduce noise in the output.
