Abstract: A photon peak event detection system accepts an analog output from a photon sensor, directly digitizes the analogy output and includes a graphics processing unit (GPU) programmed to conduct a photon peak event detection in real-time via a photon count program that analyzes the digitized photon sensor output in sampling periods each having at least three consecutive data points to determine a local maximum among the consecutive data points and compare the local maximum to one or more predetermined thresholds to determine whether or not a photon was received in each sampling period, the algorithm providing photon counts to a phasor analysis program in the GPU. The phasor analysis program calculates pixelwise fluorescence lifetime phasor data in real-time and sends the data to a central processing unit.

Abstract: A physics model of a building is linearized around an operating point. Measurements received from sensors define a system state of the HVAC system. The linearized physics model is used as an equality constraint for a model predictive controller that determines a next control input to the HVAC system based on the system state by solving an optimization problem for a time horizon of size N. A constraint matrix H of the equality constraint is decomposed into factors of U and V matrices such that UUT and VT V are both diagonal matrices. An objective function of the model predictive controller is optimized by iteratively solving a linear system of equations that includes inverses of UUT and VT V to determining a sequence of inputs for a horizon of the model predictive controller. A first input of the sequence of inputs to is used to control the HVAC system.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to preventing computer data from being usurped and exploited by individuals or organizations with nefarious intent. Methods and systems consistent with the present disclosure may store keys and keying data for each of a plurality of connections in separate memory locations. These memory locations may store data that maps a virtual address to a physical memory address associated with storing information relating to a secure connection. These separate memory locations may have a unique instance for each individual communication connection session, for example each transport layer security (TLS) connection may be assigned memory via logical addresses that are mapped to one or more physical memory addresses on a per-core basis. Such architectures decouple actual physical addresses that are used in conventional architectures that assign a single large continuous physical memory partition that may be accessed via commands that access physical memory addresses directly.

Abstract: A networking device can use sync request packets to synchronize connection objects with a peer. Real or virtual flow misses occurring in the data plane while processing a network packet indicate that synchronization is needed. A virtual flow miss occurs when a data plane connection object is obsolete. A sync request packet containing connection metadata and the network packets is sent to the peer. The peer uses the connection metadata to create or update its version of the connection object then returns a sync ack packet that contains the network packet. Receiving a sync ack packet can indicate that the locally stored version of the connection object and the peer's version of the connection object are consistent. The network packet may be processed normally when the locally stored version of the connection object and the peer's version of the connection object are consistent.
