Abstract: A coordinated network service that facilitates the design and implementation of a coordinated device network of IoT devices. The coordinated network service defines modules for individual IoT devices or coordinated devices that specify the necessary inputs to the device, the outputs from the device and communication protocols. Via an interface, user devices can select a set of IoT devices and specify how they are connected and the decision making logic associated with communication flow. The coordinated network service can then automatically generate mapping information that implements the decision making logic and provides necessary transformations for communications between the specified devices. The selected modules and mappings form a workflow for the coordinated device network. The coordinated network service can then generate executable code to implement the formed workflow in a coordinated device network.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to monitoring internal process memory of a computer at a time with program code executes. Methods and apparatus consistent with the present disclosure monitor the operation of program code with the intent of detecting whether received program inputs may exploit vulnerabilities that may exist in the program code at runtime. By detecting suspicious activity or malicious code that may affect internal process memory at run-time, methods and apparatus described herein identify suspected malware based on suspicious actions performed as program code executes. Runtime exploit detection may detect certain anomalous activities or chain of events in a potentially vulnerable application during execution. These events may be detected using instrumentation code when a regular code execution path of an application is deviated from.

Abstract: A system determines an interaction period during which a fuel dispensing operation is performed at a fuel dispensing terminal. The system determines a measured volume per unit time parameter associated with fuel dispensed from the fuel dispensing terminal by dividing the determined volume for fuel by the interaction period. The system compares the measured volume per unit time parameter with a threshold volume per unit time parameter. In response to determining that the measured volume per unit time parameter is less than the threshold volume per unit time parameter, the system retrieves a video feed that shows the fuel dispensing terminal during the fuel dispensing operation. The system creates a file for the fuel dispensing operation. The system stores the video feed in the created file.

Abstract: Computerized systems and methods are provided to intelligently and dynamically manage a data center comprising at least one server and at least one central manager. The central manager is programmed to access the at least one server on a predetermined schedule to determine whether at least one application is functioning properly by determining a functionality level. Alternatively, the central manager determines whether the at least one server is actively used by determining an activity level for the server. Based on the central manager's determinations, the system dynamically adjusts the power level of the server, resulting in reduced power consumption and a reduction in wasted resources and unnecessary processing power in the management of servers in a data center.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating a database schema using trained machine learning models that, in some embodiments, may include graph neural networks (GNN). A GNN may identify source to target database schema mappings using, among other features of the graph, context data associated with each node in a graph. Context data describes relationships between a particular node and some (or all) of the other nodes in the graph. The system may use this context data (and other graph data) in combination with a trained GNN model to identify a mapping between one or more source database entities to corresponding target database entities.
