Abstract: A method for storing a cryptocurrency private key offline, including: encrypting the cryptocurrency private key using a primary encryption key; sharding the encrypted cryptocurrency private key into a plurality of alpha shards; generating beta shards by encrypting the alpha shards with secondary encryption keys; and storing representations of the beta shards offline. The method can additionally or alternatively include: retrieving the representations of the beta shards from the offline storage; decrypting the beta shards into the alpha shards based on the secondary encryption keys; reconstructing the encrypted cryptocurrency private key by recombining the alpha shards; and decrypting the encrypted cryptocurrency private key with the primary encryption key.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable mediums are disclosed for generating health reports. Pet data associated with an entity is received from one or more data sources. Genetic test results data is received from a genetic test results database. The pet data received from the one or more data sources is analyzed with the genetic test results data received from the genetic test results database using an interpretation logic data structure. A result value associated with the pet data and the genetic test results data is determined based on the analysis. One or more result statements associated with the result value are determined and one or more health reports based on the one or more result statements are generated.

Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided that detect malicious network tunneling. For example, VPN logs and data connection logs may be accessed. The VPN logs may list client IP addresses that have established a VPN connection with an enterprise network. The data connection logs may list client IP addresses that have requested connections external to the enterprise network and remote IP addresses to which connections are requested. The VPN logs and the data connection logs may be parsed to identify IP addresses that are present in the VPN logs as a client IP address and in the data connection logs as a remote IP address. If an IP address is so present, user data and traffic data associated with the IP address may be retrieved to generate a risk score. If the risk score exceeds a threshold, an alert to be displayed in a GUI is generated.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for providing pet health diagnostic and aftercare information. Pet metadata associated with an activation code is received from a pet profile server, wherein the pet metadata and the activation code have been input by a first user using a first user device. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) results associated with the activation code are then received from a qPCR results server. A correlation is determined between the pet metadata and the qPCR results based on the activation code. One or more reports containing a diagnosis and/or a health recommendation are generated based on processing the pet metadata and the qPCR results. The generated one or more reports are transmitted to at least the pet profile server, the first user device, or a veterinarian device for display.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for directing cash flows associated with a mortgage-backed security to back other securities without collapsing the original mortgage-backed security. A mortgage-backed security /an/or a set of loans is analyzed to identify cash flows from mortgages having specific desirable characteristics, and the cash flows are directed to subgroups or pools that support new mortgage-backed securities. The new securities make the desirable cash flows available to an issuer or prospective investor without collapsing the original mortgage-backed security.

Abstract: A distributed systems and methods for generating composite media including receiving a media context that defines media that is to be generated, the media context including: a definition of a sequence of media segment specifications and, an identification of a set of remote devices. For each media segment specification, a reference segment may be generated and transmitted to at least one remote device. A media segment may be received from each of the remote device, the media segment having been recorded by a camera. Verified media sequences may replace the corresponding reference segment. The media segments may be aggregated and an updated sequence of media segments may be defined. An instance of the media context that includes a subset of the updated sequence of media segments may then be generated.

Abstract: Examples relate to a system comprising a cluster of worker nodes communicatively connected to a control plane. The control plane includes a first control switch and a second control switch. The control switches are configured with a virtual IP address. The IP address is associated with a control switch operating in an active mode. The control switches communicate with a cluster of worker nodes via the virtual IP address. A single instance of a key-value database is deployed on one of the first control switch and the second control switch that is operating in active mode, and the first control switch and the second control switch are functionally coupled by a distributed block system for data synchronization.

Abstract: Features described herein generally relate to content production. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to facilitating video generation. Using machine-learning models, a storyboard can be generated from an inspirational video, video attributes can be determined for the storyboard, editing scores and actions can be determined for candidate videos, candidate videos can be edited based on the editing scores and actions, and the edited candidate videos can be combined to generate a video.

Abstract: In some examples, as part of implementing a service on a communication infrastructure that includes multiple different types of network domains, a system creates a distributed cloud of network functions, where the network functions are executable in virtualized environments on the physical resources to perform respective tasks. The system establishes a connection between the network functions to provide the service as part of service orchestration in the communication infrastructure, the service including the respective tasks of the network functions. Communication of data between the network functions includes translating, at an edge of the distributed cloud, domain-specific data packets according to protocols used in the multiple different types of network domains to domain-agnostic data packets comprising labels to support label-based forwarding of data packets between the network functions in the virtualized environments.

Abstract: A verifiable, redactable log, which, in some embodiments, may contain multiple hash values per entry in order to sever confidentiality of a log from verifiability. Logs may be verified using recalculation of hashes and verification of trusted digital signatures. In some embodiments, the log may be divided into segments, each signed by a time server or self-signed using a system of ephemeral keys. In some embodiments, log messages regarding specific objects or events may be nested within the log to prevent reporting omission. The logging system may receive events or messages to enter into the log.

Abstract: A perforating gun for use in a well casing, the gun having a gun carrier extending along a longitudinal axis; plural shaped charges located inside the gun carrier, in a plurality of groups, a first group being positioned in a first single plane, transverse to the longitudinal axis, and a second group being positioned in a second single plane, transverse to the longitudinal axis. The first and second groups of charges are spaced along the longitudinal axis so that a third single plane, transverse to the longitudinal axis, intersects each of the shaped charges of the first and second groups of charges.
