Abstract: To address the issue of securely joining thin sections of magnesium housing, a computing device with a housing, a metal strip, and a plastic interlock structure is provided. The housing may include adjacently arranged first and second metal sections separated by a void. The metal strip may have a hole with an undercut region formed therein, and it may be joined to a surface of one of the metal sections. The plastic interlock structure may be positioned at least partially in the void, and the metal strip may be embedded in the plastic interlock structure to strengthen the joint between the metal sections of the housing. The plastic interlock structure may physically and electrically isolate adjacent metal sections from one another to form an antenna that permits transmission of radio waves.

Abstract: Some examples include a plurality of secure low-power compressive sensing sensor blocks able to communicate with each other and with a computing device to perform spatial and/or temporal compressive sensing. As one example, a first sensor block may obtain data by randomly sampling a sensor signal from a first sensor coupled to the first sensor block. The first sensor block may send the data obtained from the randomly sampled sensor signal to at least one other sensor block of the plurality of sensor blocks, wherein the data is distributed to the plurality of sensor blocks. In addition, at least one of the first sensor block or another sensor block may process the data to at least one of packetize or encrypt the data. The first sensor block and/or the other sensor block may send the processed data to the computing device.

Abstract: A single centralized metadata repository for an entire enterprise can maintain the metadata pertaining to various different web service applications on application servers of heterogeneous types within the enterprise. The metadata items stored in the centralized repository all can be stored in a same canonical format that can be expected and understood by all metadata accessors. The metadata maintained within the central repository can be given a life span that is linked with the life span of the web service application to which that metadata pertains. When a web service application is deployed on an application server, metadata pertaining to that webservice can be pushed automatically to the central repository for storage. When such a web service application is undeployed from an application server, the metadata pertaining to that webservice can be removed automatically from the central repository so as not to waste storage space.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for generating and using a spatio-temporal model that defines pose values for a plurality of objects in an environment and corresponding times associated with the pose values. Some implementations relate to using observations for one or more robots in an environment to generate a spatio-temporal model that defines pose values and corresponding times for multiple objects in the environment. In some of those implementations, the model is generated based on uncertainty measures associated with the pose values. Some implementations relate to utilizing a generated spatio-temporal model to determine the pose for each of one or more objects an environment at a target time. The pose for an object at a target time is determined based on one or more pose values for the object selected based on a corresponding measurement time, uncertainty measure, and/or source associated with the pose values.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a processor accesses a metrics dataset, which includes metrics whose values indicate data network activity. The metrics dataset has segments. Each segment is a respective subset of the data items having a common feature. The processor identifies anomalous segments in the metrics dataset. Each anomalous segment has a segment trend that is different from a trend associated with the larger metrics dataset. The processor generates a data graph that includes nodes, which represent anomalous segments, and edges connecting the nodes. The processor applies weights to the edges. Each weight indicates (i) a similarity between a pair of anomalous segments represented by the nodes connected by the weighted edge and (ii) a relationship between the anomalous segments and the metrics dataset. The processor ranks the anomalous segments based on the applied weights and selects one or more segments with sufficiently high ranks.

Abstract: A first user associated with a structure (e.g., a home, a building, etc.) may authorize a second user to access the structure when the first user is not present. The second user may request to access the structure via a website associated with a URL that was previously provided. The second user may be verified/authenticated based on an access code input via the web site, a proximity of a device to the structure, and/or times in which the second user is authorized to access the structure. The second user may indicate, via the website, a desire to lock/unlock a structure entrance (e.g., a door) to the structure that contains a smart lock. Upon receiving a selection to lock/unlock the structure entrance, a service provider sends an instruction to the smart lock, causing the structure entrance to become locked/unlocked, and allowing the second user to access or secure the structure.
