Abstract: Identifying an indistinct entity within an image can include generating by an image filter multiple gradients, each of which corresponds to one of a plurality of pixels of an image captured by an imager. The image can be searched for a likely repeating pattern. Responsive to detecting, based on the multiple gradients, a likely repeating pattern within the image, data structures can be generated, the data structures comprising a set of probabilistically weighted feature vectors corresponding to the likely repeating pattern. A machine learning model can classify each of the set of probabilistically weighted feature vectors. An identity of the likely repeating pattern can be output, the identity based on the machine learning model classifications of the probabilistically weighted feature vectors.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention provides a method for reverse proxy inspection (RPI) of encrypted traffic in an edge-based network. The method comprises sharing a first certificate from an RPI instance to an edge-based network gateway. The first certificate is issued to the RPI instance. The method further comprises receiving, at the RPI instance, an encrypted message with an initial layer of encryption and a subsequent layer of encryption. The initial layer is encrypted using a second certificate issued to an edge-based network device. The subsequent layer is encrypted using the first certificate. The method further comprises, at the RPI instance, authenticating the first certificate, and decrypting the subsequent layer using the first certificate, resulting in the encrypted message with the initial layer intact. The method further comprises, at the RPI instance, inspecting the encrypted message, and forwarding the encrypted message to a centralized hub.

Abstract: Hydrocarbon composition plays vital role in fuel quality. For gasoline/motor spirit applications the hydrocarbon should have more octane-possessing molecules from the groups of aromatics, naphthenics and isoparaffins, while n-paraffins are not preferred due to their poor octane. Among the high-octane groups, again aromatics occupy the top but not more than 35 vol % aromatics can be mixed in gasoline for engine applications to avoid harmful emission, But there is no single process that addresses so far the issue of co-producing all the desired hydrocarbon components in a single process. Thus, it is interesting to have a single once-through process working on single catalyst system to produce mixture of all three high-octane molecules namely, aromatics, naphthenics and isoparaffins directly from low-value, low-octane n-paraffin feed. Herein, we report a novel single-step catalytic process for the simultaneous production of aromatics, naphthenics and isoparaffins for gasoline and petrochemical applications.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a single step catalytic process for the conversion of n-paraffins and naphtha to diesel range hydrocarbons. A bi-metallic Pt—Sn/ZSM-5 catalyst has been developed for the direct conversion of n-heptane as well as naphtha into diesel range hydrocarbons in a single step process.
