Abstract: In response to determining that a graphical user interface displayed on the display device of a mobile device at the time a screenshot capture request is received is being generated at least in part by an enterprise application executing within a protected workspace container in the mobile device, a secure screenshot save operation is performed. The secure screenshot save operation includes i) storing, within the mobile device, a screenshot image of the graphical user interface displayed on the display device of the mobile device at the time the screenshot capture request is received, and ii) preventing the screenshot image from being accessed by any personal application executing on the mobile device outside of the protected workspace container.

Abstract: A last task view is captured for an application executing on a user device, in response to detecting that the user has stopped using the application. The user device may be a mobile device, and the application executing on the user device may be a native application. The last task view may be an image of the contents of a user interface displayed on the user device by the application when the user stopped using the application, and is transmitted from the user device to a server computer for storage in a repository storing views of applications most recently used by the user. A viewer application executing on the server computer may then display the views of applications most recently used by the user to the user on a user device other than the user device on which the last task view was captured.

Abstract: Starting execution of a mobile application on a mobile device includes creating a process that is used by the operating system of the mobile device to execute the mobile application on the mobile device. An initialization method is invoked by the mobile application that i) instantiates a replacement instrumentation object, and ii) assigns the replacement instrumentation object to the process used by the operating system to execute the mobile application on the mobile device. The replacement instrumentation object processes calls from the operating system to the mobile application and redirects at least one call made by the operating system to the mobile application to at least one call to mobile application management logic executing on the mobile device.

Abstract: Starting execution of a mobile application on a mobile device causes the mobile application to invoke an initialization method that i) creates a substitute application class loader, and ii) replaces a default application class loader for the mobile application with the substitute application class loader. The substitute application class loader processes a request for a requested object class defined by the mobile application by returning, instead of the requested object class, an alternate object class that is different from the requested object class and that is defined by mobile application management logic also executing on the mobile device. Continued execution of the mobile application on the mobile device includes performing at least one mobile application management action using the alternate object class returned by the substitute application class loader.

Abstract: Initialization is performed based on the commands received at the command queue. To perform initialization, a bank touch count list that includes a list of banks being accessed by the commands and a bank touch count for each of the banks in the list is updated. The bank touch count identifies the number of commands accessing each of the banks. The bank touch count list is updated by assigning a bank priority rank to each of the banks based on their bank touch count, respectively. Once initialized, the commands in the command queue are scheduled by inserting each of the commands into priority queues based on the bank touch count list.

Abstract: A first non-deterministic read command from a command queue is selected to be issued. The command queue includes non-deterministic read commands including the first non-deterministic read command that are outstanding and placed in the wait state simultaneously. A first intermediate response from a non-volatile memory component is received that indicates that data associated with one of the outstanding non-deterministic read commands is available. A first send command is inserted into a send queue when the first intermediate response is received. The first send command is selected from the send queue to be issued and removed from the send queue. A response to a corresponding non-deterministic read command is received. The corresponding non-deterministic read command is one of the outstanding non-deterministic read commands. The response indicates the corresponding non-deterministic read command and includes data associated with corresponding non-deterministic read command.

Abstract: An internal processor of a memory device configured to selectively execute instructions in parallel, for example. One such internal processor includes a plurality of arithmetic logic units (ALUs), each connected to conditional masking logic, and each configured to process conditional instructions. A condition instruction may be received by a sequencer of the memory device. Once the condition instruction is received, the sequencer may enable the conditional masking logic of the ALUs. The sequencer may toggle a signal to the conditional masking logic such that the masking logic masks certain instructions if a condition of the condition instruction has been met, and masks other instructions if the condition has not been met. In one embodiment, each ALU in the internal processor may selectively perform instructions in parallel.

Abstract: A secure control system includes a network of multiplexers that control end/field devices of an infrastructure system, such as an electric power grid. The multiplexers have a default secure lockdown state that prevents remote access to data on the multiplexers and prevents modification of software or firmware of the multiplexer. One or more of the multiplexers include a physical authentication device that confirms the physical proximity of a trusted individual when remote access is requested. A user accesses the network and one of the multiplexers remotely by way of login credentials. The trusted individual confirms the identity of the remote user and operates the physical authentication device connected with and in proximity to that multiplexer, thereby confirming that the remote user can be trusted to access data and reconfigure the multiplexers.

Natural language processing is performed on the primary text representation to determine a plurality of candidate actionable intents, including a primary actionable intent and one or more alternative actionable intents. A result is determined based on the primary actionable intent. The result is provided to the user. A recognition correction trigger is detected. In response to detecting the recognition correction trigger, a set of alternative intent affordances and a set of alternative text affordances are concurrently displayed.

Abstract: A simulation engine models interactions between a simulated character and real-world objects to produce a physically realistic augmented reality (AR) simulation. The simulation engine recognizes a given real-world object and then identifies, within a library of object models, an object model corresponding to that object. The simulation engine projects the object model onto the real-world object such that the object model is geometrically aligned with the real-world object. When the simulated character encounters the real-world object, the simulation engine models interactions between the simulated character and the real-world object by adjusting the kinematics of the simulated character relative to the object model associated with the real-world object.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing conversion path performance measures and reports. In one aspect, user interaction data are obtained, were the user interaction data specify user interactions for a plurality of conversions. User interactions that are associated with each conversion are selected from the user interaction data, where the associated user interactions for each conversion are user interactions with a converting user during the conversion cycle for the conversion. Using the user interaction data for the selected user interactions, a quantity of user interactions that are associated with each conversion and occurred during the conversion cycle for the conversion are determined. In turn, conversion path performance measures are computed and reports specifying the conversion path performance measures are generated.
