Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to augmented reality (AR) safety enhancement. In embodiments, an eye-gaze time indicating a period in which a user using an AR application is viewing a screen of a mobile device running the AR application can be determined. The eye-gaze time can then be compared to an eye-gaze threshold. In response to a determination that the eye-gaze time exceeds the eye-gaze threshold, an alert can be issued to the mobile device running the AR application. In embodiments, a set of proximity data can be received. The set of proximity data can be analyzed to determine a number of nearby devices. A determination can be made whether the number of nearby devices exceeds a safety threshold. When a determination is made that the number of nearby devices exceeds the safety threshold, an alert can be issued to a device having a running AR application.

Abstract: A method directs a self-driving cargo vehicle to take an alternate route based on cargo sensor readings from another cargo vehicle. One or more processors receive output from a cargo sensor and a camera, which describe an amount of movement of first cargo being transported by a first cargo vehicle on a first cargo vehicle. The processor(s) evaluate a profile of a controller on a second cargo vehicle, which is a self-driving vehicle, and which is transporting second cargo that is a same type of cargo as the first cargo. The processor(s) determine an alternate route for the second cargo vehicle, and then transmit instructions to the controller to take the second cargo vehicle on the alternate route.

Abstract: An approach is provided for detecting a malicious activity on a computer system. First process trees are identified for computer processes that have been executed on a computer system. Each of the first process trees are vectorized. The vectorized first process trees are associated with respective labels. Each label represents an amount by which a respective vectorized process tree reflects the malicious activity. An artificial neural network is trained by using the vectorized first process trees and the associated labels as training input. After the training of the artificial neural network is completed, second process trees for currently executing computer processes are vectorized and provided as input vectors to the artificial neural network.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for providing a private consolidated cloud service architecture. The mechanisms operate to implement a private consolidated cloud service (PCCS) engine. The PCCS engine generates a private consolidated cloud (PCC) for a consumer based on one or more PCC characteristics specified by a request from the consumer. The PCCS engine also generates, in the PCC, for each of a plurality of public cloud services, a private instance of the public cloud service in the PCC. The PCC receives, from a consumer device, a request for processing of consumer private data by a specified private instance of a public cloud service in the PCC. The private instance of the public cloud service in the PCC performs the requested processing of consumer private data within the PCC without exposing the consumer private data outside the PCC. The PCC provides results of the requested processing to one of the consumer device or the public cloud service.

Abstract: A tool for protecting outdoor objects from weather related damage. Responsive to a registration request, the tool registers an object and an originating location where the object is currently located. The tool determines whether a risk threshold for the object is exceeded based, at least in part, on weather conditions at the originating location. Responsive to a determination that the risk threshold for the object is exceeded, the tool instructs one or more drones to relocate the object from an originating location to a protected location that is protected from the weather conditions.
