A privacy system can implement a number of anti-stalking features to protect against such unauthorized tracking devices. The privacy system, upon determining that an unauthorized tracking device is mirroring a user's movements, can enable the user to “ring” the tracking device in order to allow the user to locate the unauthorized device. The privacy system, in response to determining that the tracking device or the owner of the tracking device satisfy one or more stalking conditions, can notify a user that the tracking device satisfies the stalking conditions. Finally, the privacy system enables users to disable access to location information from the tracking device to owners of the tracking device in the event that the tracking device is deemed unauthorized by the user. |

Creation of a digital twin from a mechanical model
An industrial CAD system is supplemented with features that allow a developer to easily convert a mechanical CAD model of an automation system to a dynamic digital twin capable of simulation within a simulation platform. The features allow the user to label selected elements of a mechanical CAD drawing with “aspects” within the CAD environment. These aspect markups label the selected mechanical elements as being specific types of industrial assets or control elements. Based on these markups, the CAD platform associates mechatronic metadata with the selected elements based on the type of aspect with which each element is labeled. This mechatronic metadata defines the behavior (e.g., movements, speeds, forces, etc.) of the selected element within the context of a virtual simulation, transforming the mechanical CAD model into a dynamic digital twin that can be exported to a simulation and testing platform. |

Unmapping logical block addresses of remote asynchronously replicated volumes
Unmap extents transmitted in delta sets are used to unmap LBAs on remote replicas of asynchronously replicated storage objects. A host server sends a SCSI unmap command to a production storage array to unmap a range of logical block addresses. In response, the production storage array creates an unmap extent that identifies the local and remote replicas, starting LBA, and number of LBAs to be unmapped. At the end of each asynchronous replication cycle, unmap extents and updated data are sent to a disaster recovery storage array in a delta set that preserves chronological ordering. The disaster recovery storage array receives the delta set and discards cached data corresponding to the unmapped LBAs indicated in the unmap extents and de-allocates the backend storage space. Integrating unmap extents with updated data in delta sets maintains point-in-time consistency and is more efficient than sending zero data. |

Optical acquisition system and probing method for object matching
This invention presents a system and method to acquire object measurements with and optical device and axial scanning mechanism, and to subsequently implement a digital processing algorithm to establish a match between similar object measurements acquired in the past. The digital processing algorithm consists of a probe-and-match strategy. It is generally challenging to determine whether or not an object, such as a work of art (e.g., a painting, drawing, sculpture, or collectable item), is the exact same object as something viewed previously with an extremely high degree of confidence. There is the potential for one object to look very similar to another object, but not be the same (i.e., to be a forgery). There is also the potential for one object to be the same object as viewed previously, but have changed significantly over time (e.g., aged or damaged). Being able to distinguish between these two cases is a difficult yet important task. This invention aims to address the challenge of identifying object uniqueness by considering it as a matching problem between optical measurements, wherein multiple acquired measurements from many objects must be sifted through to establish how similar they are, if at all, to any new measurements. |

Embodiments enforce user access rights to a data view, by initially generating a replication table of the view. The replication table may include all view data to which any user is entitled. This replication table may be generated during a first database session having a first value for a session variable. Next, a data access control structure is applied to the replication table to produce output comprising a subset of the view data for a specific user. This output may be produced during a second database session having a second value for the session variable. By initially generating the view replication table up front, processing resources are conserved in later stages when access control structures are applied to grant view access rights to particular users. Alternative embodiments may implement access control to data views, through the creation and storage of derived views. |

Systems and methods for increasing robustness of machine-learned models and other software systems against adversarial attacks
The present disclosure provides systems and methods that reduce vulnerability of software systems (e.g., machine-learned models) to adversarial attacks by increasing variety within the software system. In particular, a software system can include a number of subcomponents that interoperate using predefined interfaces. To increase variety within the software system, multiple, different versions of one or more of the subcomponents of the software system can be generated. In particular, the different versions of the subcomponent(s) can be different from each other in some way, while still remaining functionally equivalent (e.g., able to perform the same functions with comparable accuracy/success). A plurality of different variants of the software system can be constructed by mixing and matching different versions of the subcomponents. A large amount of variety can be exhibited by the variants of the software system deployed at a given time, thereby leading to increased robustness against adversarial attacks. |
