Abstract: Various examples of methods and systems are provided for improved predictive analytics. In one example, a method of managing operation of an asset or group of assets of interest includes comparing a generated prediction with one or more prediction range associated with a risk profile assigned to an operational outcome of interest, presenting a notification to an operator in response to the comparison, and incorporating operator-generated input as updated source data for the generation of subsequent predictions. The operator-generated input can comprise an operator-defined selection such as, e.g.,.; acceptance of the notification, or rejection of the notification. The operator-generated input can provide real time or near real time information based upon context-specific knowledge that the operator holds that is substantially independent of historical source data.

Abstract: Techniques provided herein employ a device monitoring service to provide task to content consumption devices that are steaming digital media from the streaming infrastructure. The tasks, when implemented by the content consumption devices, may reveal differences in task performance between authorized devices, which have the authorization to access the digital media, and imposter devices, which exploit vulnerabilities in the streaming pipeline to access the digital media. In addition, the techniques provided herein may include a machine learning/artificial intelligence model that is trained to recognize authorized and imposter content consumption devices based on their task performance.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method of cryptographically binding content to a QUIC connection is performed by a first device. The method includes: generating a key based on at least one identifier corresponding to the QUIC connection; encrypting the content using the key based on the at least one identifier corresponding to the QUIC connection; and providing the encrypted content for transmission to a second device over the QUIC connection.

Abstract: A method of providing data communication between a first device and a second device includes, establishing a first communication link with a downstream device connected to the second device using a first mode via a USB-type interface, wherein in the first mode the USB-type interface utilizes a first set of USB communication lanes; establishing a second communication link with the first device via the USB-C port using an Alternate mode wherein the Alt-mode utilizes the first set of USB communication lanes; and, in accordance with establishing the second communication link, changing a mode of the first communication link so that the first communication link does not communicate via the first set of USB communication lanes.

Abstract: First information associating a first unique master identifier with multiple different aliases is obtained from a first database accessible to an enrichment-content delivery system. The first unique master identifier is assigned to a first primary content item. Second information, which links the first unique master identifier to first enrichment content is obtained from a second database accessible to the enrichment-content delivery system. First playout information, which includes a first alias identifying a first media item scheduled for playout by a first media station is received from the first media station. A determination is made based on the first information and the second information, that the first alias is associated with the first unique master identifier assigned to the first primary content item. In response to that determination, the first enrichment content is transmitted to the first media station.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for providing users of services provided by network-based service platforms with additional control for approving patches that are to be deployed to computing resources that support their services. In some examples, the techniques include generating and using a “snapshot,” or list, of patches that are preliminarily approved for deployment. Prior to deploying the patches to the computing resources, users are provided with access to the snapshot and are able to modify the snapshot. For example, users can modify the snapshot by adding patches, removing patches, specifying a sequence in which the patches are to be deployed, and so forth. The snapshot of patches may be “frozen” for a period of time, meaning that patches that during the period of time, only patches in the snapshot are deployed, and patches that are not included in the snapshot are not permitted to be deployed to computing resources.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein facilitate the search and presentation of historical data for wireless network usage and provide a mechanism for high-redundancy, low-latency record retrieval of data from large data sets. Network devices divide data for a historical data store into separate record type groups, store metadata for each record type in an application database, partition each record type group by date in a historical record database that is different from the application database, and form, within each date partition, buckets of common hash values of a key parameter from each record. When a user performs a query, the network devices generate a record-specific query form based on the record type metadata to obtain lookup parameters; generate a search hash value using a key parameter from the lookup parameters; and generate a query expression based on the record type, lookup parameters, and the search hash value.

Abstract: An example method for implementing a charitable giving experience can include: receiving a scanned image of a logo of a charity at an augmented reality (AR) electronic device, the logo including a graphic associated with the charity; after receiving the scanned image, displaying at least the logo and details related to the charity on the AR electronic device; displaying a control on the AR electronic device, wherein the control corresponds to one or more charitable giving opportunities associated with the charity; receiving a selection of the control on the AR electronic device; and initiating a charitable giving to the charity from the AR electronic device.

Abstract: A transmission configuration and/or configuration errors and recovery may be determined or implemented by temporal interpretation of one or more signals. A transmitter may interpret one or more signals a first way during one or more time windows and a second way during one or more other time windows. Video resolution may be indicated in a V-by-One® interface by temporal interpretation of HPD and/or CDR lock. Transmission format may be indicated before or after transmission begins. Transmitter configuration error detection and recovery may be implemented by temporal interpretation. A transmitter may transmit data in an assumed/default format. A receiver may indicate the assumed transmission format is incompatible with the receiver configuration. A receiver may indicate a compatible transmission format, for example, based on timing or pulsing transitions in a temporally repurposed signal. A transmitter may respond to the repurposed signal indication by transmitting a different (e.g., compatible) format.

Abstract: A method includes assigning different unique identifiers to each of a plurality of different instances of a content item, wherein the different unique identifiers have values included in different ranges of unique identifier values. First information linking particular subscriber identifiers used by particular subscribers to refer to particular instances of the content items is stored. Second information associating an enrichment identifier with a collection of enrichment content is stored. Third information associating the enrichment identifier with a particular range of unique identifier values is stored. Enhanced content is delivered to subscribers based on the first information, the second information, and the third information.

Abstract: A method implemented on an augmented reality electronic device includes establishing a wireless connection with an automated teller machine (ATM). The AR electronic device is used to authenticate a user of the AR electronic device at the ATM. An initiation is permitted of a financial transaction through user interface functionality for the ATM that is displayed on the AR electronic device. Financial information for the financial transaction is displayed on a display screen of the AR electronic device, instead of displaying the financial information at the ATM.
