Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for improved health patches, monitoring systems, and implementations for improved capture and management of real-time health data. Embodiments facilitate receiving of real-time health data and maintaining the real-time health data in a particular manner based at least in part on one or more exception rules. Some embodiments receive real-time health data captured via a health monitor and store it to a local data store, apply the real-time health data to at least one exception rule that determines an exception indicator, and determine whether to transfer at least a portion of stored health data to an external system based at least in part on the exception indicator, for example for persistent, long-term storage and/or analysis.

Abstract: In one example, a computer implemented method may include retrieving resource definition data corresponding to an endpoint. The resource definition data includes resource type information. Further, an API response may be obtained from the endpoint by querying the endpoint using an API call. Furthermore, the API response may be parsed and a resource model corresponding to the resource definition data may be populated using the parsed API response. The resource model may include resource information and associated metric information correspond to a resource type in the resource type information. Further, a resource and/or metric data associated with the resource may be determined using the populated resource model. The resource may be associated with an application being executed in the endpoint.

Abstract: In an example, a computer implemented method may include assigning credits and a credit limit to a user account. The credit limit may indicate maximum credits that can be used to perform each operation in a data center. Further, the method may include receiving a request to perform an operation on a data center resource from a user associated with the user account. Upon receiving the request, a value corresponding to the requested operation may be retrieved from an attribute associated with the data center resource. Furthermore, the method may include determining whether the user is permitted to perform the requested operation on the data center resource based on available credits of the assigned credits, the credit limit, and the retrieved value. Further, the method may include controlling an access to perform the requested operation based on the determination.

The standalone tool for certificate management is provided between a plurality of computing nodes and a management node. The standalone tool determines a certificate status for each of the plurality of computing nodes in the computing system. The standalone tool also determines any certificate operations for each of the plurality of computing nodes in the computing system. The certificate status and any of the certificate operations are presented in a consolidated view.

Abstract: A personal protection system can comprise a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag coupled to a personal protective equipment, a barometric sensor coupled to the RFID tag, and a computing device communicatively coupled to the RFID tag and the barometric sensor. The computing device can comprise a processing unit that can be configured to access radio frequency (RF) data received from the RFID tag and receive, from the barometric sensor, barometric data determined by the barometric sensor. Further, the processing unit can be configured to determine a positioning state of the personal protection equipment. The positioning state can indicate whether the personal protection equipment is being worn correctly or incorrectly by the user.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to manage resources in a hybrid workload domain are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a usage monitor to monitor resource utilization of a workload allocated within a hybrid workload domain, and an orchestrator to: determine a first type of the workload domain in the hybrid workload domain; in response to determining that under-utilized resources of the first type are not available, identify resources of a second type that are available; convert the resources from the first type to the second type; and allocate the converted resources to the workload.

Abstract: A voice controlled apparatus for performing a workflow operation is described. The voice controlled apparatus can include a microphone, a speaker, and a processor. In some examples, the voice controlled apparatus can generate, via the speaker, a voice prompt associated with a task of a workflow and identify, via the microphone, a voice response received from a worker. In this regard, the voice prompt and the voice response can be a part of a voice dialogue. Further, the processor of the voice controlled apparatus can identify a performance status associated with the execution of the task, before providing a next voice prompt subsequent to the voice prompt. In this aspect, the performance status can be identified based on analyzing the voice dialogue using a machine learning model. Furthermore, the voice controlled apparatus can generate a message including a suggestion to improve the performance status of the task.
