Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for a Trust Score Engine are directed to providing a user interface for identifying datasets collected into a dataset inventory wherein the dataset inventory may be displayed within the user interface. The Trust Score Engine determines social curation activities by respective user accounts that have been applied the datasets in the dataset inventory and validates the datasets in the dataset inventory according to pre-defined attributes applied to any of the respective datasets. The Trust Score Engine generates a first trust score for a first dataset according to any determined social curation activities and any pre-defined attributes that correspond to the first dataset. The Trust Score Engine receives a selection of a trust score visualization functionality, via the user interface, with respect to the first dataset.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for confidentially processing the kinematic data of a vehicle (210), in particular a method for classifying this data in order to determine the driving style of the vehicle while respecting the confidentiality of the data in question. The data is encrypted (254) by the vehicle by means of a symmetric encryption algorithm using a secret key generated (251) by the vehicle. This secret key is encrypted (252) by the vehicle by means of a homomorphic asymmetric encryption algorithm by using the public key of a vehicle service provider (240). The data encrypted by means of the secret key, and the homomorphically encrypted secret key, are transmitted (253, 255) by the vehicle to an access point that transcrypts (261) them and transmits (262) the homomorphically encrypted data to a calculation platform (230).

Abstract: The present invention relates to highly efficient suction and compression rotating mechanisms, particularly the compression mechanism with piston blocks mounted on two axes and driven by a pair of matching gears in the field of compressors and vacuums or hydraulic system such as oil pump, hydraulic motor, hydraulic gearbox, specifically there is application that uses this mechanism to create one rotary motor with multi compression stages, force-generating stages and continuous fuel burning regime. The new rotary lobe structure in this invention provides a close contact between curved surfaces with the same radius, which is a “Surface -to-surface” contact, whith much better tightness than “line” contact.

Abstract: A method and system provide the ability to orchestrate a media workflow using a computer system. A payload for an application programming interface (API) to be utilized to process media content is determined. The payload is parsed to display one or more variables of the payload in a graphical user interface. The variables are mapped to webform user interface elements. A job of the media workflow is executed. During execution, a webform of the user interface elements is programmatically generated and presented to an operator, data for the payload is received via the webform, and the received data is provided to the API to process the media content.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are provided to securely and wirelessly connect a medical device to a controller or smartphone with medical device control app, and to wirelessly connect the controller or smartphone with medical device control app to other devices providing additional integrated disease management (IDM) functions. At least two different wireless communication protocols are used depending on level of security needed, with greater security needed for exchange of medical device control operation commands and related data between the medical device and its controller or smartphone with medical device control app to avoid nefarious or unintended changes in medical device control. Exchanges of historical data or notifications relating to the medical device and requiring less security can be transmitted to the controller and/or the smartphone or other IDM devices using a different and more commonly used wireless communication protocol that may afford less security.

Abstract: A spatial search may be performed using representations of geometric shapes stored in a key-value store. A request to perform a spatial search may be received, the request including a geometric shape composed of one or more points. The points of the geometrical shape may be translated into one or more spatial indexes representing spatial cells using a space-filling curve. A key-value store may then be incrementally searched for each spatial index to identify spatial cells intersecting the geometric shape for which other known geometric shapes exist. The key-value store may then be searched to identify the known geometric shapes intersecting the geometric shape included in the search.
