Abstract:
An apparatus for a hypervisor to obtain a faulting instruction, wherein the hypervisor runs between a physical machine including a central processing unit (CPU) and a virtual machine includes a content addressable memory (CAM); a special-purpose register (SPR) which is accessible by the hypervisor; and a control logic circuit with an input terminal connected to the CPU and an output terminal connected to the CAM, the input terminal receiving data from an instruction fetching (IF) stage and a write-back (WB) stage of a CPU instruction pipeline respectively, the output terminal causing instructions from the IF stage of the CPU instruction pipeline to be stored into the CAM and triggering the CAM to output a faulting instruction among the instructions stored therein to the SPR.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for distributing a copy of event data recorder (EDR) data of a vehicle includes sending index information uniquely identifying respective member vehicles of a dynamic vehicle network that include candidate vehicles located within a predetermined geo distance of a host vehicle, sending a fragment of a private key associated with EDR data of the host vehicle to the respective member vehicles of the dynamic vehicle network, distributing segments of replicated EDR data from the host vehicle among the respective member vehicles, and responsive to an expiration of a predetermined lifecycle duration associated with the dynamic vehicle network and an absence of an incident of the host vehicle: disbanding the dynamic vehicle network, and initiating a next dynamic vehicle network including a set of next candidate vehicles.

Abstract:
Automatically detecting and cataloging items or assets at a location or property, using a computer, to capture, using multiple techniques and corresponding devices, data about an item of a plurality of items in a defined location, for cataloging the item. Using the computer to determine when the data meets threshold criteria for identification of the item and completing an identification of the item when the data meets the threshold criteria. Using the computer to determine when the item meets asset criteria for being cataloged as an asset, in response to the item meeting the threshold criteria for identification of the item and thereby the identification being completed. Metadata about the asset is gathered, in response to meeting the asset criteria, and the asset is cataloged with the data and the metadata.
Abstract:
An apparatus for a personal call center assistant includes a receiver that receives a query from a call center over a communication channel during a communication session between the call center and a user. A security checker that determines whether text from the query matches an entry in a user profile of the user and an inference engine identifies one or more query responses in response to the security checker determining that the text from the query matches an entry in the user profile. Each query response is assigned a confidence level and each confidence level includes a likelihood that the query response matches information requested in the query. An outputter converts a query response with a highest confidence level to an answer to the query and a responder communicates the answer to the query to the call center in a format compatible with the query.
Abstract:
A method and system for generating an automated Internet connection is provided. The method includes receiving from a first communication hardware device of a first user, a first telephone number and a first Internet protocol (IP) address. A second telephone number and a second Internet protocol (IP) address are received from a second communication hardware device of a second user. A request for connecting the first communication hardware device to the second communication hardware device via an Internet connection is received and it is determined that the second communication hardware device is currently connected the first communication hardware device. The request is transmitted to the second communication hardware device. Based on the second user approving the request, the second IP address is automatically transmitted to the first communication device and a secure private Internet link between the first communication hardware device and the second communication hardware device is generated.
Abstract:
An example operation may include one or more of generating an initial seed and allocating one or more authorized bits of the initial seed to a plurality of blocks in a distributed ledger, storing the initial seed and an identification of which authorized bits of the initial seed are allocated to each block of the distributed ledger, receiving a final seed value that is partially generated by each of a plurality of nodes configured to access the distributed ledger based on authorized bits of respective blocks updated by each respective node, and generating a random sequence value based on the final seed value and storing the random sequence value in a block of the distributed ledger.
