Abstract: A computing device may receive data associated with an event from an originating apparatus in the form of a data item. The computing device may then apply an evaluation function to the data item, wherein applying the evaluation function generates a processing result characterizing an aspect of the data item. The computing device may generate a tag based on the processing result. The computing device may associate the generated tag with the data, wherein the tag is transmitted with the data outside the network environment where the data item is not accessible for processing outside the network environment, but the data tag is accessible. The computing device may provide the data and the tag for transmission.

The method also includes determining, for at least a subset of the loading cycles, a loading energy based on data from the fatigue testing data. The method also includes determining an indication of fatigue in the hair fibre sample based on the loading energy of the at least a subset of the loading cycles.

Abstract: In an example, a computing device includes a processor which in a reimaging operation of the computing device, may determine if a backup image to be used in the reimaging operation is available from a memory device connected to a local area network of the computing device. When the backup image is available from the memory device, the processor may acquire the backup image over the local area network. When the backup image is not available from the memory device, the processor may determine if a backup image is available from a wide area network of the computing device.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to authentication invirtual reality systems. For example, a device comprising a generator engine can generate a stimulus, and display the stimulus to the user in a virtual environment. The device can receive an input from the user in response to the stimulus, via a receiver engine, and authenticate the user based on the input received via an authentication engine. Additionally, the device can obfuscate the received input from the user by preventing the input from being displayed in the virtual environment via an obfuscation engine.

Abstract: A method for regulating access to a system BIOS comprises generating an access token for a user providing selected BIOS access privileges according to a system policy for the user.

Abstract: In an example, there is provided a method for tracking domain name server (DNS) requests, wherein the method comprises determining whether a DNS request has resolved; and for each non-resolving DNS request decomposing the domain name of the request into multiple components, determining, for each component, a value of a metric representing the occurrence of the component in a corpus, generating a scaling factor for the request on the basis of the values for each component, and incrementing a count of the total number of non-resolving DNS requests by a scaled value on the basis of the scaling factor.
