Abstract: A data item is searched for in first and/or second data sets of a data store. If it is found in the first data set and if it was updated in the first data set after the second data set became an overlay of the first data set, first data stored in association with the data item in the first data set is returned. If it is found in the first and second data sets and if the second data set became an overlay of the first data set after the data item was updated in the first data set, second data stored in association with the data item in the second data set is returned. The second data set is identified based on overlay metadata, indicative of the second data set being an overlay of the first data set.

Abstract: A method of controlling access to machine learning model data in a multi-tenant machine learning system having a machine learning model data access hierarchy. The hierarchy comprises: (i) a tenant level comprising first and second tenants associated with first and second tenant machine learning model data respectively; and (ii) a tenant group level comprising a tenant group to which the first and second tenants belong. The tenant group is associated with tenant group machine learning model data. The tenant group machine learning model data is based on the first and/or second tenant machine learning model data. The method comprises, for a machine learning model being applied in respect of the first tenant at the tenant group level: (i) allowing access to the tenant group machine learning model data and the first tenant machine learning model data; and (ii) inhibiting access to the second tenant machine learning model data.

Abstract: A machine learning system for processing incoming event data associated with a transaction. A state delta generator retrieves a version of the state data from a database and receives incoming event data. The generator processes the event data and the state data using a model to generate a state delta comprising a set of pending updates to the state data which is stored in a queue. An updater retrieves the event state deltas from the queue and the state data from the database. The updater applies the pending updates from each state delta to generate updated state data used to update the database. A cache stores a copy of each of the state deltas, where the copies of the state deltas are stored in the cache together with a value indicative of the version of the state data used to generate the state delta.

Abstract: Measurement apparatus includes a garment (24, 26) including an elastic fabric (27) having a predefined pattern (28) extending across a surface thereof and configured to be worn over a part of a body of a subject, such that the elastic fabric stretches across the part of the body. An imaging module (30) includes a fastener (40) configured for attachment to a mobile electronic device (32) having a camera module and a conical extension (41) having a rear opening (46), which is configured to be held by the fastener in alignment with the camera module, and a front opening (48), which is larger than the rear opening and is configured to contact and traverse across the fabric. The camera module captures through the front opening images that are indicative of local deformations of the pattern of the fabric.

Abstract: Measurement apparatus (20) includes a garment (24, 26, 140, 160) including an elastic fabric (27) having a predefined pattern (28) extending across a surface thereof and configured to be worn over a part of a body of a subject (22), such that the elastic fabric stretches across the part of the body. A camera (30, 80) is configured to capture images of the pattern while contacting and traversing across the surface of the fabric while the subject wears the garment. At least one processor (32, 36, 60) is configured to process the images captured by the camera at multiple locations on the surface of the fabric so as measure a local deformation of the pattern at the multiple locations due to stretching of the fabric, and to compute a dimension of the part of the body responsively to the measured deformation.

Abstract: A system for treatment of a multi-layered cushioning product includes at least one web layer and at least one expandable layer including a water-based heat-expandable adhesive (WBHEA), comprising: (a) at least one radiator module for irradiating the multi-layered cushioning product including at least one emitter, such as a filament, panel or the like, emitting infrared radiation at an operative temperature of at least 600° C. and at most 3000° C. wherein the at least one radiator module having a power output density of at least 10 kW/m2 and/or at most 300 kW/m2 and (b) a conveyor for moving the, cushioning product relative to the at least one radiator module.

Abstract: A filling head (20) for filling a container (22) includes a receptacle (24). The receptacle (24) includes an interior surface (26) configured to receive a powder (28) and having a plurality of openings (34) disposed therein to allow passage of the powder (28); and an exterior surface (52). The exterior surface (52) of the receptacle (24) has a plurality of raised surfaces (54), each of the plurality of raised surfaces having a plurality of openings (56) aligned with at least one of the plurality of openings (34) of the interior surface (26) to allow passage of the powder (28) from the receptacle (24) to the container (22).

Abstract: Technology is described for creating a video access anchor for an application interface. A server may send application data for the application interface to a first client. The server may receive a virtual object identifier from the first client, and the virtual object identifier may be associated with a virtual object in the application interface. The server may receive a video identifier from the first client, and the video identifier may be associated with the virtual object. The server may create the video access anchor for the application interface based on the virtual object identifier and the video identifier, as received from the first client. The video access anchor may enable a second client to access a video having the video identifier when the second client initiates an event that corresponds to the virtual object.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing layered protective packaging materials and a protective packaging product is described. In an embodiment the method comprises the steps of: selecting one or more layers of a substrate; treating at least one surface of at least one of said layers with a coating composition; drying the layers to substantially remove the water content from the coating composition; and applying heat and/or radiation to the coating composition to volumetrically expand the coating composition to transform the treated layer into a protective layer. The step of treating the layer with the coating composition uses a flexographic coating technique.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for upgrades and synchronization of applications installed on a device, such as a mobile device. In one embodiment, a device may include applications purchased and downloaded via a content management system. The device maintains a list or database of applications that are authorized for each device. This list is also replicated in a remote cache that is maintained by an archive host. The device may then synchronize and upgrade these applications across multiple platforms, such as one or more computers that can be coupled to the device or the archive host. The archive host allows for files of the application be provided back to the device. Upon installation, the device can then confirm the authorization and identity of the newly installed application.

Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for authorizing software code to be executed or access capabilities in secure operating environments. Profiles may be issued by trusted entities to extend trust to other entities to allow those other entities to provide or control execution of applications in a secure operating environment such as on particular computing devices. The profiles allow entities to add software code to the device without reauthorizing each distribution by a trusted authority such as testing, quality assurance, or to limited groups of devices controlled or authorized by the other entities.
