Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to information security. A computing platform may configure a connector framework to: preconfigure identities of data production systems without involvement of a third party system, and ingest information, received from the data production systems, directly into a storage layer at each of a plurality of data recipient systems, where the information may be received in a plurality of different programming languages, and the plurality of data production systems may be located in different geographic regions. The computing platform may receive, at the connector framework and from a first data production system of the data production systems, first information. The computing platform may ingest the first information by: replicating, using the connector framework, the first information, and making available, to the plurality of data recipient systems, the first information, which may cause storage of the replicated first information in real time.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating communications amongst a plurality of mobile units in a network establishes a plurality of underlay communication cells (201, 220, 222). At least two of the plurality of mobile units are positioned in at least one of the underlay communication cells, the units being capable of communications via the underlay communication cells (201, 220, 222). An overlay communication cell (212) is established and covers the same area as at least the underlay cells (201, 220, 222) that include the at least two of the plurality of mobile units. An association between underlay cells (201, 220, 222) is established that include the at least two mobile units and the overlay communication cell (212). A group communication call is established between the at least two mobile units using the overlay cell.

Abstract: A system, and a corresponding method, for measuring a chemical concentration of a gas exhausted from exhaust ports (409, 413) of a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine (401) includes a gas sensing device. This device (419) is preferably a UEGO (Universal Exhaust Gas Oxygen) sensor. The gas exhausted is present in a substantially stable chemical concentration (706, 718) at a collection point (420) during intervals (738, 742) of engine angular rotation corresponding to the exhaust cycles. The UEGO sensor (419) measures the gas exhausted from the exhaust ports (409, 413) and provides a sensory output signal (743) that, during the intervals (738, 742) of engine angular rotation corresponding to each of the exhaust cycles, approaches (737, 741) a substantially stable value representative of the chemical concentration of the gas (706, 718) exhausted during the associated exhaust cycle.
