Abstract: A system determines a baseline cyberthreat-risk score for a user, and displays the baseline cyberthreat-risk score via a user interface. The system presents at least one cyberthreat-education activity via the user interface, and receives, via the user interface, at least one user input associated with the presented at least one cyberthreat-education activity. The system generates an updated cyberthreat-risk score at least in part by updating the baseline cyberthreat-risk score based at least in part on the user input, and displays the updated cyberthreat-risk score via the user interface.

Abstract: An enterprise platform may retrieve, from a collaboration data store, information about a selected enterprise team. The enterprise platform may then transmit, from a set of integration tools to a workflow tool of a remote cloud-based environment, a data payload including a notification request associated with a channel. The enterprise platform may also transmit, from a runtime environment to a business communication platform of the cloud-based environment, a request to post a notification to the channel and arrange for a member of the selected enterprise team to receive an adaptive information card, pushed by the business communication platform via the channel, containing information associated with at least one of the integration tools. The member who receives the adaptive information card may also, via selection of a graphical icon on the card, respond to the business communication platform via bi-directional communication.

Abstract: A platform may receive configuration information of individual user authorizations for outbound messaging through specification of one or more authorized vendors. The platform maintains a list of the vendors and, for each vendor, a DKIM public key associated with the vendor, without publishing the public keys to a DNS, and publishes a customized SPF policy comprising a macro mechanism for identifying a particular user that transmitted a message to the DNS. The platform logs received SPF customized queries, extracts data populated by the macro mechanism from the logged queries, and analyzes the extracted data to determine a particular user associated with the query, to determine whether the user is authorized to utilize a vendor associated with the domain based on the configuration information. Responsive to the determination that the individual is authorized to utilize the vendor, the platform publishes the DKIM public key associated with the vendor to the DNS.

Each train-mounted unit may configured to receive communicate with any wayside unit and/or train-mounted unit that comes within range, with the communicating including use of ultra-wideband (UWB) signals, and for generating control information based on the UWB signals, for use in controlling one or more functions associated with operation of the train.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media that allow a user to easily generate survey mission plans for one or more UAVs and to capture high quality survey images, including those in the near infra-red, and stitch them into an orthomosaic having reduced geometric distortion. The generation of such orthomosaics allows the systems and methods disclosed herein to be particularly useful in applications where separation from the background of high reflective near infrared surfaces is important, such as identifying plants on soil and generating vegetation indices for precision agriculture applications.

Abstract: Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is one of the most widely used methods of distinguishing electronic mail that is authorized by the purported sending domain from unauthorized mail. SPF policies are published into a domain's DNS and then looked up and evaluated by mail receivers. Due to the complexity and limitations of the SPF specification, implementation mistakes are widespread. This problem is compounded by the common practice of nesting SPF policies which introduces hidden risks, particularly exceeding DNS lookup limits. To address these issues, inline service provider designation may be configured to capture the benefits of existing techniques without their associated costs. Additionally, the domain owner may enjoy simplified SPF service provider onboarding and policy failover redundancy to protect against SPF service provider disruptions, thus improving policy availability uptime.

Abstract: A heating system for a component within a compartment of a spacecraft includes a fuel source, a gas generator, and a heat sink. The fuel source includes hydrazine. The gas generator is in fluid communication with the fuel source. The gas generator includes a catalyst. The catalyst is configured to decompose the hydrazine and generate an exhaust gas. The heat sink is thermally coupled to the gas generator and configured to receive heat from the exhaust gas of the gas generator. The heat sink is thermally coupled to the component within the compartment of the spacecraft to transfer heat from the exhaust gas to the component.

Abstract: A construction vehicle includes a panel removably coupled to a vehicle component and fastening member for removably coupling the panel to the vehicle component. The fastening member includes a main body having a lock stud that is movable to switch the fastening member between a locked position and an unlocked position. The fastening member also includes a ring assembly. The ring assembly defines a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a base portion and one or more first tabs. The one or more first tabs are inclined relative to the base portion. The first portion further includes one or more second tabs parallel to the base portion. Further, the one or more first tabs and the one or more second tabs together define a seating portion for receiving the lock stud.

Abstract: Aspects and features of this disclosure provide a high-availability storage platform employing multiple redundant sites. Replication to multiple sites can begin upon receiving content and can be completed quickly, in part through the use of a small and efficient file that can be sent to storage sites. The file enables each storage site to efficiently build appropriate entries in a reference registry for storing and indexing the content. In some examples, a registration request including the content is received and the content is stored in an instance of the centralized storage system at an initial storage site. The aforementioned file is transmitted to additional storage sites to cause the content to be stored in additional instances of the centralized storage system. The file can also be accessed at the additional storage sites to update instances of the reference registry.
