Abstract: Embodiments for rendering a 2D image of a dynamic 3D scene from different view angles using a neural radiance field (NeRF) are provided. In this regard, an AI image processing system is configured to process coordinates of a point in a dynamic 3D scene with an RNN over a number of time steps indicated by a time instance of interest to produce motion information of the point at the time instance of interest, process the motion information with a fully connected neural network to produce a displacement of the point from the coordinates in the dynamic 3D scene, and process a displaced point from a view angle of interest with the NeRF to render the point on the 2D image of the dynamic 3D scene at the time instance of interest. The displaced point is generated based on an estimate of the displacement of the point by leveraging motion cues.

Abstract: A dynamic security monitor for a backup storage system is provided. A system determines risk factors, based on security parameters received from a backup storage system. The risk factors are associated with data at rest, access control, digital certificates, and encryption keys. The system determines factor scores, corresponding to the risk factors, based on values of the security parameters, wherein each factor score is inversely related to a corresponding level of security risk. The system outputs a security health score based on a product of each of the factor scores. If the security health score is less than a threshold, the system outputs an alert which enables a system user to identify and resolve a security risk, then outputs an updated security health score based on any change in any value of any parameter used to determine any of the factor scores.

The system can recommend a penetration test for discovered weaknesses associated with the input feature and help make changes to the client computer system to improve security and reduce risk overall.

Abstract: A power management system for a display light emitting diode (LED) driver for an augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) device mitigates (e.g., attenuates) an input peak power delivered to the LED driver from a DC source and decreases a voltage ramp rate of the LED driver while maintaining the default current ramp rate or vice versa. A liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) digital process is used to provide a current reference with a slow ramp rate and/or to provide an offset. The offset (e.g., a delay) may be implemented between the voltage ramp and the current ramp to achieve a non-overlapping output voltage and output current.

Abstract: The present inventors devised techniques and technologies that streamline the protection of data stored on shared file storage e.g., on file servers, network-attached storage (NAS), share drives, network shares, etc., in a data storage management system. Some embodiments feature a proxy-less backup configuration in which backup services hosts are assigned to perform a secondary copy job, at job runtime, based on host attributes relative to the data source. Some embodiments are configured to, at job runtime, automatically resolve data paths to the source data, and automatically mount the data paths, rather than requiring data paths to be expressly pre-administered on all possible candidate backup machines. Some embodiments automatically protect data from shared file storage that was not expressly given a backup plan (“undefined” data) by applying default preferences for protecting undefined data.
