    摘要: A method for protecting against mass NF deregistration attacks can be performed at an NRF or SCP. The method includes receiving an NFDeregister request for deregistering an NF. The method further includes classifying the NFDeregister request as suspect based on application of suspect NFDeregister request classification rules. The method further includes in response to classifying the NFDeregister request as suspect, queueing the NFDeregister request. The method further includes receiving an NF heart-beat message concerning the NF. The method further includes determining that the NF heart-beat message is received within an NF heart-beat time interval for the NF. The method further includes in response to determining that the NF heart-beat message is received within the NF heart-beat time interval for the NF, preventing processing of the NF Deregister request and blacklisting a sender of the NFDeregister request.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for performing metadata-driven data collection are disclosed. In some examples, a method includes receiving a request for system status data for components of a distributed computing system while the distributed computing system is in operation. The request includes metadata specifying a data collection sequence for collecting component-level system status data. The components include compute components, network components, and storage components. The method includes obtaining, using the metadata, the component-level system status data by querying protocol-based data collectors in an order, one after the other, as specified by the data collection sequence specified by the metadata. The method includes assembling the component-level system status data into assembled status data and storing the assembled status data in memory and/or a repository.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for hiding network function (NF) instance identifiers (IDs) in communications networks are disclosed. One method for hiding NF instance IDs in a communications network occurs at an NF repository function (NRF) comprising at least one processor. The method comprises: receiving, from a first NF, an NF registration request message for registering a first NF instance of the first NF, wherein the NF registration request message includes a first NF instance ID for identifying the first NF instance; storing, in a data store, a mapping between the first NF instance ID and at least one pseudo NF instance ID, wherein the data store includes mappings between NF instance IDs and related pseudo NF instance IDs; and generating and sending, to the first NF, an NF registration response message including the at least one pseudo NF instance ID for identifying the first NF instance.

    摘要: Compliant mounting systems, devices, and methods for mounting a vehicle engine to a vehicle structure or base include a top mount, a lower mount, a center trunnion mount, and an aft mount which are configured to react forces transmitted by the engine to the vehicle structure. Metallic and elastomeric elements can provide vibrational and force isolation characteristics. Stops (e.g., snubbing elements) allow for a specific range of motion before internal mount structures contact each other to act as a conventional hard mount. Fluid elements and compressible gas-filled spaces/bladders may be incorporated to provide fluid damping behaviors to complement the metallic and elastomeric elements.

    摘要: A robot skin apparatus includes polymer membranes encapsulating a pressure sensor. The sensor includes piezo-sensitive material in contact with a pair of electrodes in spaced relationship to form a circuit. The apparatus may include a flexible substrate, with the electrodes thereon. The piezo-sensitive material may be piezoresistive film. The electrodes may be symmetrically patterned on the substrate to form a substantially circular peripheral boundary. The apparatus may include pressure sensors on opposite sides of a plane for temperature compensation, a plurality of pressure sensors arrayed on the substrate, and a data acquisition system. A method of fabricating the apparatus includes a wet lithography process for patterning the piezoresistive film. A system includes a pair of gripper fingers, an actuator connected to the fingers, a robot skin apparatus positioned on one of the fingers, and an electronic unit for receiving data from the robot skin and controlling the fingers.
