Abstract: In a general aspect, a multiple-entity root of trust is constructed and maintained for use in a cryptography system. In some aspects, a genesis data block includes genesis block data entries representing respective member entities of a root of trust consortium. A genesis block is generated by digitally signing the genesis data block. The genesis block is provided for use by end entities as a root of trust in a cryptography system. In some aspects, a hash of an existing block of a chain is obtained, and a data block comprising a data entry is generated. The data entry identifies an action by one or more member entities of the root of trust consortium. A new block of the chain is generated by digitally signing a combination of the data block and the hash of the existing block. The new block is provided for use by end entities as the root of trust in the cryptography system.

Abstract: A text search query including one or more words may be received. An ASR index created for an audio recording may be searched over using the query to produce ASR search results including words, each word associated with a confidence score. For each of the words in the ASR search results associated with a confidence score below a threshold (and in some cases having one or more preceding words in the ASR index and one or more subsequent words in the ASR index), a phonetic representation of the audio recording may be searched for the word having the confidence score below the threshold, where it occurs in the audio recording, possibly after the one or more preceding words and in the audio recording before the one or more subsequent words, to produce phonetic search results. Search results may be returned include ASR and phonetic results.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to an independent manual control system of an all-electric cabin pressure control system (CPCS).

Abstract: A gateway device configured to receive, from an integrated development environment (IDE), a system configuration for a target device including application code for execution on the target device, the configuration being received via an encrypted network connection. The gateway device provisions the target device with the application code, receives, from the IDE, instructions via the encrypted network connection to execute the application code on the remote device and instructs the application code to execute on the remote device.

Abstract: Force-independent release systems are disclosed. Releasable links are designed for use in connection with inflatable safety devices. Particular examples for use include evacuation slides and/or life rafts on board a passenger transportation vehicle, such as an aircraft or marine vessel, or any other inflatable safety device that requires a rapid inflation. In one example, the force-independent release system separates when a certain inflatable pressure is achieved. In another example, the force-independent release system separates at a certain predetermined time. It is possible for the force-independent release system to also include current force-dependent technology as a redundant backup.
