Abstract: Embodiments provide a mutable CRTM schema for ensuring the integrity of a client workload on a single system as updates are made to the firmware used to initialize and run that system by booting a computing system in a secure mode; when successfully validating a boot image for the computing system via a secure verification code that is blocked from write access when the system is booted in a unsecure mode, allowing write access to the secure verification code; and continuing to boot the computing system in the secure mode according to the boot image. When booting the system and unseccessfully validating the boot image at the third time, the system boot is failed.

Abstract: Aspects described herein disclose devices, systems, and methods for use in contexts such as minimally invasive surgery (MIS). A device is provided herein having a proximal portion and a distal portion, and an ultrasound transducer may be disposed within the distal portion and configured to scan tissue and identify certain portions of a patent's anatomy during the scanning process. The results of the detection may be presented to an operator of the device aurally and/or visually, such as in a 3-D volumetric image. By scanning the tissue, identifying the anatomy, and presenting the results to an operator, unnecessary damage to elements of the patients anatomy may be avoided or lessened. In some aspects, multiple transducers may be positioned on the device to increase the scanning range and/or scanning accuracy of the device. The device may provide an inner channel for the passage of surgical tools while scanning tissue.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system of pause and replay of media content through bookmarks on a server device are disclosed.

Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods and apparatus for effecting a demand response (DR) event by providing a demand response management system (DRMS) communicatively coupled to a plurality of participant sites, the DRMS including an aggregation engine having a rules-based function operative to generate an aggregation of the participant sites for a DR event using inclusion criteria that includes a custom field, wherein business objects (BOs) are used to represent the participant sites and other related entities (e.g., participants, enrollments, service delivery points (SDPs), etc.) and the BOs store core characteristics of the participant sites and the other related entities in core fields, and wherein the custom field is associated with a BO but the definition and content of the custom field is stored external to the associated BO; generating the aggregation using the inclusion criteria; and executing the DR event on the aggregation. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: An electro-hydraulic hybrid system for a vehicle utilizes both the advantages of the hydraulic hybrid system and the electric hybrid system to maximize the collection of energy lost during a braking process and to provide launch assists in an acceleration process. The electro-hydraulic hybrid system includes an ECU that controls the electro-hydraulic hybrid system, a hydraulic drive pump, an accumulator, a hydraulic reservoir, a hydraulic pump, an electric motor, a power converter, and a battery. The hydraulic reservoir is in fluid communication with the accumulator through the hydraulic drive pump that functions as the main component of the hydraulic regenerative braking system. The hydraulic reservoir is also in fluid communication with the accumulator through the hydraulic pump that acts as the main component of the electro-hydraulic inter-conversion unit along with the electric motor, the at least one battery, and power converter that are electrically connected to each other.

Abstract: An apparatus for grouping alerts generated by automated monitoring of at least an operating condition of a machine, represented as a configuration item in a configuration management database, in a computer network. A first event pattern is identified based on configuration items associated with an alert avalanche identified from received historical alert data stored in memory. A second event pattern is identified based on co-occurrences of configuration item pairs in the historical alert data and on at least one conditional probability parameter. At least one alert group is determined by comparing at least one configuration item associated with a current alert to the plurality of configuration items of the first event pattern and of the second event pattern stored in memory. A graphical display region for displaying the alert group is generated.

Abstract: Techniques are presented for providing misinformation detection in online content. The described techniques can identify instances of misinformation in online content and pass a misinformation result to the user. A misinformation probability analysis can be performed by applying a syntactic analysis and a semantic analysis to detect misinformation with confidence by applying featurization to a URL, text of content referenced by the URL, and metadata associated with the URL using a feature set, the feature set comprising semantic-based features and syntactic-based features, wherein the semantic features and the syntactic features are selected from the group consisting of: sentiment amplifiers, sentiment continuity disruption features, lexical features, keywords, baseline features, speech act, sensicon features, emotion detection on the obtained text, exaggerated language, strong adjectives, heuristics, bag-of-words, objectivity, colloquial-ness score, and semantic difference.

Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for time domain coexistence of RF signals. In one example, among others, a method includes obtaining access to a WLAN channel during a free period of a coexisting cellular connection, providing a RDG to allow another device to transmit for a duration corresponding to at least a portion of a TXOP, and receiving a transmission during the duration. In another example, a method includes obtaining access to a WLAN channel during a transmission period of a coexisting cellular connection and providing a protection frame to defer transmissions from another device for a duration corresponding to at least a portion of a TXOP. In another example, a method includes determining a shift of a BT transaction based at least in part upon a schedule of cellular communications and shifting at least a portion of the BT transaction based upon the determined shift.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of assisting code review comprises updating a profile to indicate types of errors in a first code base based on a first code version history maintained by a code versioning system for the first code base. The first code version history is a record of changes made to the first code base. The method also includes receiving a second code base developed by a first developer having an association with the profile and displaying the second code base on a display together with assistance data based on the profile. The assistance data indicates focus areas for code review based on the types of errors identified in the profile.

Abstract: A method for identifying a target anatomy by use of a device having an ultrasound transducer. Using the ultrasound transducer, a portion of a patient's anatomy is scanned during a scanning process. A voltage trace of the patient's anatomy is determined and compared to a predetermined trace. If the voltage trace of the patient's anatomy matches the predetermined trace, a notification may be output.
