Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for privacy protection of records based on attribute-based determination of quasi-identifiers within the records is provided. The method receives a first set of records containing a first set of attributes for a set of individuals. The method receives a second set of records for the set of individuals, with the second set of records containing a second set of attributes. A first set of quasi-identifiers, based on the first set of attributes, is accessed for the first set of records. The method determines a set of new attributes of the second set of attributes based on the first set of attributes. A second set of quasi-identifiers is generated based on the first set of quasi-identifiers and the set of new attributes. The method generates an anonymized set of records from the second set of records based on the second set of quasi-identifiers.

Abstract: Responsive to a user instruction or a security breach occurring in an enterprise computing environment, an emergency shutdown and restore module is adapted to obtain and evaluate an identity population definition to determine a population of identities (e.g., a forensic team) associated with accounts distributed across applications in the enterprise computing environment. The emergency shutdown and restore module is further adapted to determine source systems of such accounts and communicate with those source systems via source-specific connectors. The emergency shutdown and restore module can respectively request the source systems to shut down access to the applications by the accounts associated with the population of identities, or to exclude the accounts associated with the population of identities in shutting down access to the applications.

Abstract: Cord blood or peripheral blood NK cells are prepared from whole blood mononuclear cells without the need to isolate CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells or NK cells, and without the need for a feeder layer. Advantageously, the methods presented herein use an enrichment process that uses antiCD16 agonist antibodies, antiCD3 antibodies, and N-803. Moreover, contemplated processes are suitable for adaptation into a fully automated production process (GMP in a box).

A method can include determining an ambient temperature around a vehicle or a road relative to a temperature threshold, determining lateral acceleration of the vehicle due to steering input, determining a slippery condition based on the ambient temperature being below the temperature threshold and the expected lateral acceleration exceeding the measured lateral acceleration by more than a threshold, and selectively adjusting a vehicle operating parameter when the slippery condition is present.

Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. An example process includes initiating a virtual assistant session responsive to receiving user input. In accordance with initiating the virtual assistant session, the process includes determining, based on data obtained using one or more sensors of the electronic device, whether one or more criteria representing expressed user disinterest are satisfied. In accordance with determining that the one or more criteria representing expressed user disinterest are satisfied prior to a first time, the process includes automatically deactivating the virtual assistant session prior to the first time. The first time is defined by a setting of the electronic device. In accordance with determining that the one or more criteria representing expressed user disinterest are not satisfied prior to the first time, the process includes automatically deactivating the virtual assistant session at the first time.

Abstract: Methods, non-transitory machine readable media, and computing devices that manage storage operations directed to dual-port solid state disks (SSDs) coupled to multiple hosts are disclosed. With this technology, context metadata comprising a checksum is retrieved based on a first physical address mapped, in a cached zoned namespace (ZNS) mapping table, to a logical address. The logical address is extracted from a request to read a portion of a file. A determination is made when the checksum is valid based on a comparison to identification information extracted from the request and associated with the file portion. At least the first physical address is replaced in the cached ZNS mapping table with a second physical address retrieved from an on-disk ZNS mapping table, when the determination indicates the checksum is invalid. The file portion retrieved from a dual-port SSD using the second physical address is returned to service the request.

Abstract: Systems and methods for operating an engine that includes two throttles that are arranged in parallel to deliver air into a single intake manifold are described. In one example, a first throttle and a second throttle are opened according to a value of a variable that changes as a function of a requested engine air flow.

Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to provide beamforming scheme selection and signaling in wireless communication systems.

Abstract: Systems and methods for operating an engine that includes two throttles that are arranged in parallel to deliver air into a single intake manifold are described. In one example, a first throttle is opened before a second throttle during a first condition and the second throttle is opened before the first throttle during a second condition. The throttles may be operated in this way to ensure even operation of the throttles.

Abstract: Systems and methods for the positioning and imaging of sample slides are provided, such as in a microscope. A positioning system comprises a cassette. The sample is provided on the cassette. The cassette may be placed in and movable within a cut-out portion of a pusher component. The pusher component is disposed above a stage. When the cassette is placed in the cut-out portion of the pusher component, a bottom surface of the cassette interfaces with a top surface of the stage. An actuator coupled to the pusher component can cause movement of the pusher component and the cassette for imaging different portions of the sample. A processing unit can send one or more signals to control actuation provided to the actuator to move the pusher component.
