A first machine learning model may generate first embedding data for the first frame of image data. The first embedding data may be input into a second machine learning model associated with the camera device. The second machine learning model and the first embedding data may be used to determine that an area-of-interest represented by the first frame of image data is in a first state. State data stored in memory may be determined. The state data may indicate that the area-of-interest was previously in a second state. An alert may be sent to a device associated with the camera device indicating that the area-of-interest has changed from the second state to the first state.
An instance secrets management isolated runtime environment is launched at a virtualization server, and utilizes a subset of memory assigned to a compute instance. The subset of memory is inaccessible from entities external to the runtime environment. A secrets manager of the runtime environment provides a security artifact to an application, running at the compute instance, which has requested access to a resource. The artifact is generated by the secrets manager using a security secret associated with the compute instance; the secret is not accessible to programs external to the runtime environment. In response to a determination that the artifact is valid, the application obtains access to the resource.
G06F 21/53 - Monitoring users, programs or devices to maintain the integrity of platforms, e.g. of processors, firmware or operating systems during program execution, e.g. stack integrity, buffer overflow or preventing unwanted data erasure by executing in a restricted environment, e.g. sandbox or secure virtual machine
Systems and methods are described for implementing a distributed unit in a radio access network that synchronizes its clock with a radio unit. A distributed unit may be deployed in a location where it cannot receive timing information from a satellite or may lack the equipment to obtain and process satellite signals. The clock of the distributed unit may thus drift relative to the clocks of the radio units, which may cause the distributed unit to mistime its transmissions of data to radio units for delivery to user devices. The distributed unit may prevent clock drift by obtaining timing information from the radio units, determining an amount of clock drift that is occurring, and applying a correction factor to keep the distributed unit clock synchronized with the radio unit clock. The distributed unit may determine how often to synchronize based on the severity and variability of the clock drift.
Described are systems and methods directed to the processing of two-dimensional ("2D") images of a body to determine a physical activity performed by the body, repetitions of the physical activity, whether the body is performing the physical activity with proper form, and providing physical activity feedback. In addition, the disclosed implementations are able to determine the physical activity, repetitions, and/or form through the processing of 2D partial body images that include less than all of the body of the user.

A system for utilizing media content reference point information to perform media content encoding, and supplemental content stitching and/or insertion. Media content can be encoded and packaged based on boundaries of the media content. The boundaries can be received from a third-party and/or generated via an automated process. Target boundaries can be selected based on accuracy levels associated with the received and/or generated boundaries. Supplemental content can be stitched and/or inserted into packaged media content based on audio and video content of the packaged media content being aligned.

Methods for replicating transactional tables of a transactional database to an analytical database and maintaining updates to those transactional table representations are disclosed. Snapshots of the transactional tables are provided to the analytical database via a transport mechanism, such as a data storage service or a data streaming service, and stored at the analytical database. Then, checkpoints comprising portions of a change-data-capture log that has recorded transactional changes to the transactional tables of the transactional database are provided to the analytical database via the same or different transport mechanism and used to commit those transactional changes to the snapshot representations. The snapshot representations may be used to respond to incoming analytical queries in order to provide real-time querying results.
