Abstract: Technologies are generally described for a distributed system to provide wireless energy sharing between electrically powered vehicles. In some examples, two or more vehicles traveling on a roadway may be configured to share energy while in route to a destination. The vehicles may be equipped with wireless energy transfer units to enable the vehicles to exchange energy. At least one of the vehicles may be a mobile electric charging station configured to store a large amount of charge and to provide charge to vehicles. The electric charging station may be in communication with a controller, where the controller may be configured to identify vehicles in need of recharge and to identify at least one vehicle having sufficient charge to share. The controller may schedule a time and place for the two vehicles to meet in order to share charge. Additionally, the vehicles may be self-coordinated without a controller.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for a game item management scheme. In some examples, a method performed under control of a game server may include receiving, from a player account, a request to play a game hosted on the game server; determining whether the player account has been dormant based at least in part on an amount of elapsed time between a most recent playing of the game and the receiving; and modifying at least one game item associated with the player account, when the determining indicates that the player account has been dormant.

Abstract: In at least some examples, a control center, which provides remote driving assistance service, may be configured to receive traffic data from sensors and to identify an area of congested traffic, based on the received traffic data, within a predetermined range of the sensors. When the control center receives a request for the remote driving assistance service, from a vehicle within the predetermined range of the sensor, the control center may generate and transmit remote driving commands to the vehicle.

Abstract: Implementations and techniques for asymmetrical chaotic encryption are generally disclosed. One disclosed method for asymmetrical encryption includes determining a ciphertext control block from data, where the ciphertext control block is based at least in part on one or more Chebyshev polynomials. The method also includes encrypting at least a portion of the data into an encrypted ciphertext block, where the encrypted ciphertext block is based at least in part on Logistic Mapping, and in which a final ciphertext includes the encrypted ciphertext block and the ciphertext control block.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for a failure recovery scheme for a cloud system. In some examples, the cloud system may include one or more computing nodes, and one or more network switches configured to relay one or more packets among the one or more computing nodes. A respective one of the computing nodes may include a first processor configured to process the one or more packets to communicate with at least one of the network switches, and a second processor configured to process the one or more packets to communicate with at least one of the other computing nodes in the cloud system.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for optimizing resource utilization in a collection of devices having hierarchical network layers. Some example technologies may identify packets exchanged between processes executed on collections of server computers. The hierarchical network layers may couple the collections of server computers. The technologies may determine virtual machine groups based on the identified packets. Each of the virtual machine groups may identify one or more virtual machines configured on the collections of server computers to execute one or more processes. The virtual machine groups may be configured to increase data traffic in a lower layer in the hierarchical network layers and to decrease the data traffic in a higher layer in the hierarchical network layers. The technologies may relocate the virtual machines between the collections of server computers according to the virtual machine groups.

Abstract: In an SM-MIMO wireless communication system, multiple transmitting antennae may be utilized to transmit wireless signals that carry signal sequences. A selection of the multiple transmitting antennae may be configured to represent a portion of the signal sequences so that channel state information (CSI) is not required at the receiving end of the SM-MIMO system.
