    Abstract: A method for reconfiguring a bus device from a first configuration into a second configuration, wherein the second configuration is not visible to, and is not selectable by, an unauthorized host device that connects to the bus device through a peripheral port of the bus device is described. In the bus device, a received message transmitted by the authorized host device through the peripheral port of the bus device to which the authorized host device is connected is parsed and an instruction to reconfigure the bus device from the first configuration into the second configuration is detected. Responsive to detecting the instruction, a daemon signals reconfiguration of the bus device into the second configuration, and responsive to the daemon signaling, the bus device is reconfigured into the second configuration. Other embodiments are also described.

    Abstract: A bridge element is provided for establishing clock synchronization across network elements including a first network element using a first clock synchronization transport protocol and a second network element using a second clock synchronization transport protocol different from the first clock synchronization transport protocol. The bridge element includes a port, a protocol translation port and an interconnect structure. The port may receive a clock synchronization signal from the first network element using the first clock synchronization protocol. The interconnect structure may receive the clock synchronization signal from the port. The protocol translation port may receive the clock synchronization signal from the interconnect structure, translate the clock synchronization signal between the first clock synchronization transport protocol and the second clock synchronization transport protocol, and provide the translated clock synchronization signal to the second network element using the second clock synchronization protocol.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes a processor, and a memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to learn a sound emitted by a legacy device and to issue an output when the electronic device subsequently hears the sound. For example, the electronic device can receive a training input and extract a compact representation of a sound in the training input, which the device stores. The device can receive an audio signal corresponding to an observed acoustic scene and extract a representation of the observed acoustic scene from the audio signal. The electronic device can determine whether the sound is present in the observed acoustic scene at least in part from a comparison of the representation of the observed acoustic scene with the representation of the sound. The electronic device emits a selected output responsive to determining that the sound is present in the acoustic scene.
