Abstract: Techniques that enable a shared library to perform self-version verification at the time of being dynamically loaded by a software application are provided. Self-version verification in this context refers to the process of verifying by the shared library that it is the library version the software application intends to use, without any intervention or involvement by the application.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I). The compounds may be used to antagonise the Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) protein and may thereby treat liver fibrosis, fatty liver disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), pulmonary fibrosis, lupus, sepsis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), type I diabetes, STING-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI), Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome (AGS), familial chilblain lupus (FCL), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), retinal vasculopathy, neuroinflammation, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, pancreatitis, cardiovascular disease, renal fibrosis, stroke and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Abstract: This application is directed to presenting a unified user interface on a network-connected television device. The unified user interface displays media content recommendations selected and organized based on knowledge of a user (e.g., search queries, search results, watch history, purchase history, physical activities). The unified user interface also includes a focus area for displaying a series of media content items (e.g., an advertisement) sequentially according to a temporal order for the purposes of promoting a media content item, product, event or service. In some implementations, playback of a media content item presented on the unified user interface relies on a collaborative implementation of a corresponding media player application and a media content casting application, particularly when the play involves a restricted mode. The content casting application is enabled to play the media content item at the restrict mode when the media player application does not operate in the restricted mode.

Abstract: Techniques for suppressing the flooding of link-local multicast and broadcast traffic are provided. In certain embodiments, these techniques include receiving, by a network device, a link-local multicast or broadcast message from an endpoint, where the message pertains to a networking protocol that uses link-local multicast and/or broadcast transmissions; dropping, by a data plane of the network device, the message in hardware, such that the message is not flooded on the local network segment of the endpoint; copying, by the data plane, the message to the device's central processing unit (CPU); and processing, by software running on the CPU, the message in accordance with the message's networking protocol (and in a manner that eliminates the need to flood the message).

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I). The compounds may be used to modulate activity of the HPK-1 protein, and thereby treat cancer, viral infection and immune-mediated disorders.

Abstract: Provided herein are battery cells comprising artificial solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers used as protective coatings on electrodes. The SEI layers are produced by liquid-phase deposition (LDP). The battery cell may comprise an anode, a cathode, an electrolyte disposed between the anode and the cathode, a polymer separator disposed between the anode and the cathode, and a casing containing the anode, the cathode, the electrolyte, and the polymer separator, wherein at least one or the anode or cathode comprises an SEI layer produced by an LDP method.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for acknowledgement-based retirement of expired secure association keys (SAK). A new SAK is generated by a key server. The new SAK is transmitted to members of a connectivity association (CA). The new SAK for key server ingress traffic is installed. An ingress SAK installation acknowledgement is received from the members of the CA. The new SAK for key server egress traffic is installed at the key server, based on receiving the ingress SAK installation acknowledgement from the members of the CA. A key server egress SAK installation notification is transmitted to the members of the CA A prior secure association key is retired after a configurable SAK retirement buffer delay in response to an earlier occurrence of either: receipt of an egress SAK installation acknowledgement from the members of the CA and expiration of a SAK retirement buffer delay, or expiration of a SAK retirement timeout.

Abstract: A method for managing a group of secured network devices. The method includes detecting, by a switchover agent operating in a secured network device of the group of secured network devices, a switchover between two supervisors operating in the secured network device, based on the detecting: generating a modified heartbeat packet, wherein the modified heartbeat packet comprises a suspension time that is significantly larger than a heartbeat interval, and sending the modified heartbeat packet to a second secured network device of the group of secured network devices.

Abstract: A vault encryption abstraction framework computing system provides interface functionality to facilitate integration of client applications with vaulting solutions. The vault encryption abstraction framework manages custom authentication and authorization using the vaulting solution application for one or more client applications such as by periodically rotating or renewing any authentication tokens. The vault encryption abstraction framework includes a scheduler to manage timing requirements and to configure the client application to the schedule by setting the renewed token value to an API endpoint (e.g., a function return) and/or a configuration file for access by one or more client applications. This event triggers the client application to update to the latest token value. The vault encryption abstraction framework then triggers the vaulting solution to create and return the new key. The new key is then returned to the client application.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for operation of a media device in an obfuscated entry mode. A method for entry of personal information on a media device may include receiving a request from an external device to enter personal information. An interface screen is generated, including a first section including a plurality of characters, and a second section including directional buttons and a select button. Manipulation of the directional buttons and/or the select button causes selection of characters from the first section of the interface screen to be entered into the personal information entry field displayed by the media device in an obfuscated manner.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and compositions for the liquid-phase deposition (LPD) of thin films. The thin films can be coated onto the surface of porous components of electrochemical devices, such as battery electrodes. Embodiments of the present disclosure achieve a faster, safer, and more cost-effective means for forming uniform, conformal layers on non-planar microstructures than known methods. In one aspect, the methods and systems involve exposing the component to be coated to different liquid reagents in sequential processing steps, with optional intervening rinsing and drying steps. Processing may occur in a single reaction chamber or multiple reaction chambers.
