    Abstract: Recent location and control information received from “lead” vehicles that traveled over a segment of land, sea, or air is captured to inform, via aggregated data, subsequent “trailing” vehicles that travel over that same segment of land, sea, or air. The aggregated data may provide the trailing vehicles with annotated road information that identifies obstacles. In some embodiments, at least some sensor control data may be provided to the subsequent vehicles to assist those vehicles in identifying the obstacles and/or performing other tasks. Besides, obstacles, the location and control information may enable determining areas traveled by vehicles that are not included in conventional maps, as well as vehicle actions associated with particular locations, such as places where vehicles park or make other maneuvers.

    Abstract: Autonomous vehicles may be deployed to areas where an item is in demand, and configured to fulfill orders for the item received from the areas. The autonomous vehicles are loaded with the item and dispatched to the area under their own power or in a carrier. When an order for the item is received, an autonomous vehicle delivers the item to a location in the area. Autonomous vehicles may also be equipped with a 3D printer or other equipment and loaded with materials for manufacturing the item. When an order for the item is received, the autonomous vehicle manufactures the item from such materials, and delivers the item. Autonomous vehicles may be configured for collaboration, such as to deliver or manufacture items in multiple stages and to transfer the items between vehicles. Autonomous vehicles may also be configured to automatically access locations in the area, e.g., using wireless access codes.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for a network address block treatment server. The network address block treatment server identifies blocks of network addresses, associates them with treatments, and generates compact representations of the network address blocks. Blocks may be identified based on network activity data or on the treatment of individual network addresses, and treatments may be associated with address blocks based on address-level and/or block-level criteria. Treatments may include, for example, denying service requests, throttling, queueing, issuing a challenge-response, or limiting the number or scope of services. The network address block treatment server may review treatments periodically or upon receipt of additional network activity data. The server may implement treatments in connection with firewall or routing services, or may transmit address block representations and associated treatments to network service providers for implementation.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for preventing a software module from executing in an unauthorized environment. A software module may be configured to collect context information that describes an environment in which the software module is executing. If the context information indicates that the environment is unauthorized for executing the software module, the software module may alter its behavior(s) or its binary signature to simulate a threat. Threat detection module(s), such as anti-virus software, anti-malware software, and so forth, may then identify the software module as a threat and disable its execution or perform other actions. In some cases, the analysis of the context information may be performed on server device(s), which may send a signal to cause the software module to alter its behavior(s) or its binary signature.

    Abstract: A resource owner or administrator submits a request to a permissions management service to create a permissions grant which may include a listing of actions a user may perform on a resource. Accordingly, the permissions management service may create the permissions grant and use a private cryptographic key to digitally sign the created permissions grant. The permissions management service may transmit this digitally signed permissions grant, as well as a digital certificate comprising a public cryptographic key for validating the permissions grant, to a target resource. The target resource may use the public cryptographic key to validate the digital signature of the permissions grant and determine whether a user is authorized to perform one or more actions based at least in part on a request from the user to perform these one or more actions on the resource.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to autonomous vehicles, such as autonomous ground vehicles (“AGVs”) that may be utilized to transport items to specified locations (e.g., residences, dormitory rooms, etc.), operate as a safety escort for a human moving from one location to another (e.g., from a campus library to a dormitory room), form ad-hoc wireless networks with other autonomous vehicles, and/or to operate as a mobile security station that can provide direct connection between a person at the location of the autonomous vehicle and security, rescue, and/or other personnel.
