Systems and methods for a connected computing resource and event/activity identification information infrastructure using near existential or existential biometric identification of humans
Connected computing enables the use of highly diverse environments that support operating frameworks for contemporary civilization.

Such an infrastructure provides ubiquitously available identification information that can be used universally for identification processes. Such biometrically and liveness-based identification information can be contemporaneously acquired and securely fused with or otherwise bound to associated entity identification information sets. Such sets are used to identify and assess entity suitability and/or authenticity, and/or establish user identity (specific human entity) for personal, societal, and organizational activities. |

High frequency snapshot technique for improving data replication in disaster recovery environment
A high frequency snapshot technique improves data replication in a disaster recovery (DR) environment. A base snapshot is generated from failover data at a primary site and replicated to a placeholder file at a secondary site. Upon commencement of the base snapshot generation and replication, incremental light weight snapshots (LWSs) of the failover data are captured and replicated to the secondary site. A staging file at the secondary site accumulates the replicated LWSs (“high-frequency snapshots”). The staging file is populated with the LWSs in parallel with the replication of the base snapshot at the placeholder file. At a subsequent predetermined time interval, the accumulated LWSs are synthesized to capture a “checkpoint” snapshot by applying and pruning the accumulated LWSs at the staging file. Once the base snapshot is fully replicated, the pruned LWSs are merged to the base snapshot to synchronize the replicated failover data. |

Fault detection in an electric power system
A fault protection system is configured to detect a fault in an electric power system. The fault protection system obtains a differential measurement signal. The differential measurement signal may, for example, indicate, as a function of time, the difference between currents or voltages measured at two or more terminals or boundaries of a fault protection zone of the electric power system. Regardless, the fault protection system generates a fault detection signal by cross-correlating the differential measurement signal with a reference signal. The reference signal may for instance be the differential measurement signal that is expected upon occurrence of a fault. The fault protection system performs fault detection, for detecting a fault internal to the fault protection zone, as a function of the fault detection signal. |
