Abstract: Software code optimization for specific computerized tasks is achieved by utilizing task-specific ML models that are trained to determine optimal sets of software code by intelligently assessing available hardware resources (i.e., specifically, processing devices, such as CPUs and GPUs) and, in some instances, SDKs for a specified task and, as a result, determining an optimal set of software codes for the specified task that is tied to one or more of the available hardware resources.

Abstract: A real-time, information-security, border-endpoint system and process to block a zero-day threat is disclosed. Data, traffic, patterns, and payloads for incoming and outgoing border control devices (or edge devices) delineating protected from unprotected areas of a network, or close to the border of such, can be monitored, analyzed, compared, and processed by artificial intelligence (AI), which can be used to identify suspect traffic based on differences between the two and historical information compiled from prior Advanced Persistent Threats. Mitigation, countermeasures, reporting, quarantining, blocking, patching, and other features are disclosed as well.

Abstract: An information security method to detect, validate, source, and/or remediate propagated, maliciously generated, AI content is disclosed. Search-engine spider(s) to crawl the Internet to identify posted content, which is analyzed with signature-based detection, anomaly detection, and machine learning to identify suspect content, which is compared against validated content. A malicious-AI probability score is generated based on the results of the foregoing AI analysis and the content differences. Metadata corresponding to the suspect content is extracted. A malicious activity mapping is compiled from available data. Suspect content is attempted to be recreated by publicly available online AI bots to identify the AI engine that generated the malicious content. Metadata pertaining to the origination source that accessed the source AI bot. Metadata is used to trace the malicious content back to the originator. Proofs regarding the foregoing are generated. Notifications/demands may be generated.

Abstract: A method for operating a multi-door oven apparatus is provided. In one example, the method comprises moving, by a mechanical device, a first oven door along a first path in a first direction orthogonal to a side surface of an oven, the side surface comprising an entrance to the oven. The method further comprises moving, by the mechanical device, the first oven door along a second path in a second direction parallel to the side surface, wherein moving the first oven door along the second path comprises moving the first oven door past a second oven door.

Abstract: Techniques regarding the composition and/or structure of oven walls are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise an oven with a heat source configured to heat a hollow space within the oven. The oven further can comprise an oven body that can define the hollow space. Also, the oven body can comprise a plurality of connected sides, wherein one or more of the connected sides comprise a plurality of carbon nanotubes.

Abstract: A fuse positioning fixture includes a fuse positioning template and a fuse loading block. The fuse positioning template includes a number of fuse positioning openings. Each one of the fuse positioning openings extends through the fuse positioning template and corresponds with a fuse holder in a fuse relay center. The fuse positioning template includes solid portions adjacent each one of the fuse positioning openings which provide a fuse blocking portion. The fuse loading block includes a number of fuse loading openings and is configured to slidably engage with a top surface of the fuse positioning template such that in a first position of the fuse loading block fuses placed in the fuse loading openings are held in place by the fuse blocking portion. In a second position of the fuse loading block, the fuse loading openings align with the fuse positioning openings.

Abstract: A graphical user interface for a computer includes a dial control. The control can be implemented, for example, as a touch-based, pointer-based, pen-based and/or keyboard-based mechanism. The dial control is intended for manipulating a large range of values, such as a menu of items from which a user makes a selection, or a range of continuous or discrete values. A dial control can replace other control types such as a slider, drop down menu or text field. The graphical elements of the dial control include one or more displayed rings and a handle for each ring. Inside the ring, or in another area adjacent the ring, a value can be displayed. The ring can be manipulated by the user to change the value selected by the dial control. In the case of multiple rings, each ring can be manipulated independently.

Abstract: Various technologies pertaining to instant messaging are described herein. A persistent instant messaging group is created, wherein the persistent instant messaging group comprises a plurality of members and persists over a plurality of instant messaging sessions. Instances of an instant messaging application are installed on mobile telephones, and the instant messaging application is used to transmit instant messages between members of the persistent instant messaging group. Messages directed towards offline members of the persistent instant messaging group are transmitted to such members when they come online.

Abstract: Various technologies for sharing digital images within an instant messaging (IM) session between two users. In one implementation, a first user uploads a set of images to the second user. The set of images may be displayed as thumbnails on the displays of both users. By clicking on one of the thumbnails, either user may make the associated image appear as a larger image on both users' displays. In the event that both users click on different images simultaneously, or near-simultaneously, a protocol may be employed that selects which image is displayed.
