An agent, of a distributed intelligence application, generates feature data for a feature. A baseline configuration of parameters is processed, associated with the distributed intelligence application, to determine a first set of parameters. The baseline configuration of parameters and a modified configuration of parameters are processed to determine a second set of parameters. The modified configuration is associated with the distributed intelligence application and indicates a difference from the baseline configuration. A snapshot of dynamic data is processed according to an algorithm using the first set of parameters to determine a first result and using the second set of parameters to determine a second result. The first result and the second result are each provided with a respective indication of the configuration used to generate the result.

Parameterized distributed intelligence agents

Techniques are directed to controlling access to resources on a message bus of a network communication device. The techniques may include, by the network communication device, processing a message bus access policy file uniquely corresponding to a process. The message bus access policy file may include a certificate securely associating the message bus access policy file with the process. The techniques may further include, by the network communication device, based at least in part on the processing the message bus access policy file, exposing one or more resources of the network communication device to the process on the message bus, in a manner corresponding to at least one resource access permission indication contained within the message bus access policy file.

Enforcing access to endpoint resources

A device and method for locally authenticating an accessor device to access an operable device. The method comprises receiving reservation information at a validation device from an access granting device, the reservation information identifying one or more accessor devices as having permission to utilize the operable device, where the operable device is local to (e.g., within a predetermined proximity) of the validation device. The method further comprises receiving a request from an accessor device requesting permission to utilize the operable device, the request including an identifier of the requesting accessor device, validating the request based on the reservation information and the identifier, and when validation is successful, granting to the requesting accessor device permission to utilize the operable device. The method may further include receiving an instruction from the access granting device to revoke such permission from the requesting accessor device, and revoking such permission from the requesting accessor device.

Local authentication of communications device

Techniques for transmitting messages to send configuration information, and/or commands, to features, agents, applications and/or other aspects of endpoints and/or networked computing devices. In an example, server, a host of an analytics platform, or other computing device may send messages within a network to an endpoint that is remote from the computing device. In the example, a first message may be sent to a first agent operating on the endpoint, wherein the first message directs configuration of a first feature of the first agent. The computing device may receive consumption data from the endpoint, which may be monitored and/or analyzed by the analytics platform of the computing device. In the example, a second message may be sent to a second agent operating on the endpoint, wherein the second message has a parameter that allows free-format data, and wherein a command is encoded within the parameter.

Downstream messaging to configure endpoints and transmit commands

A filter incorporating a vessel defining an interior space, the vessel having a ceiling and a floor; filter media contained within the interior space; a helically threaded port which opens the vessel's interior space at the ceiling; a turn plate having a an outer edge; a retainer ring and snap ridges combination which interconnects the turn plate and the vessel, positions the plate beneath the floor, and facilitates circumferential motion of the plate's outer edge; a turn handle connected operatively to the plate, the turn handle being adapted for impelling the turn plate's circumferential motion; and ratcheting hook and ridge combinations which further interconnect the turn plate and the vessel, the hooks and ridges being adapted for, upon turning of the handle, translating a limited screw tightening torque to the ceiling's helically threaded port.

Overtightening protected fluids filter

A hybrid bermudagrass cultivar, named Champion Dwarf, is distinguished by high rate and density of lateral stem development, low vertical growth characteristic, high density, fine leaf width, and lack of seedhead development. The cultivar is especially suited to golf greens.
