Dynamic Nav

[Toney Talbot]

DynamicLighting provides Windows users and developers with native control of lighting devices implementing the open HID LampArray standard. By adopting an open standard, and by working with our OEM and ODM partners, Microsoft seeks to improve the RGB device and software ecosystem for users by increasing interoperability of devices and apps. Device manufacturers can use standardized firmware for the first time, enabling new native experiences across the Windows OS and apps without the high costs of proprietary firmware and software development.

Examples of experiences include synchronizing devices from different brands together in Windows Settings, applying effects intelligently across available devices, and leveraging app integrations to drive device lighting. For the first time, device manufacturers are empowered to focus purely on innovation and differentiation because their devices will be able to take advantage of a myriad of OS and app experiences.

HID LampArray devices are compatible with dynamic lighting. Devices are compatible via a native FW implementation, or through a VHF driver. The native FW implementation is also compatible with Xbox for keyboard and mouse devices.

HID LampArray devices give their LED information to Windows, including position. This allows Windows to intelligently utilize device layouts for optimal effects. Additionally, there are several types of LampArray devices addressable by Windows:

Remarketing allows you to show ads to customers who have previously visited your website or used your mobile app. Dynamic remarketing takes this a step further, and allows you to show previous visitors ads that contain products and services they viewed on your site. With messages tailored to your audience, dynamic remarketing helps you to build leads and sales by bringing previous visitors back to your site or app to complete what they started. Learn how to set up dynamic remarketing for your website visitors, and your app users.

Dynamic glass changes its opacity to reduce or increase the amount of light and heat allowed to pass through. This technology replaces high-performance static glass, which is already prevalent in commercial buildings in Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries.

Dynamic glass promises energy savings for heating and lighting in buildings and vehicles, though we focus only on architectural applications. Applications include regulating sunlight in buildings and reducing glare on rearview mirrors. Technologies that allow this include those that change in response to light, heat, or an electrical current (that is, by human control). Dynamic glass can greatly reduce the inefficiency of windows and other glazed surfaces and also can eliminate the need for shading, resulting in an increase in natural lighting in buildings. In this report, we examine the potential financial and climate impact of increased adoption of dynamic glass instead of high-performance static glass in commercial buildings.

We calculated impacts of increased adoption of dynamic glass from 2020 to 2050 by comparing two growth scenarios with a reference scenario in which the market share was fixed at current levels. We based scenarios on near-term projections and long-term targets from international organizations.

For near-term forecasts to 2022, we interpolated historical and trend data from estimates by Navigant Research (2014) with a far-future forecast guided by the World Green Buildings Council's target of 100 percent net zero buildings by 2050.

We integrated the dynamic glass solution with others in the Buildings sector by first prioritizing all solutions according to the point of impact on building energy usage (building envelope solutions such as Insulation were first, building systems such as Building Automation Systems were second, and building applications such as High-Efficiency Heat Pumps were last). We calculated the impact on building energy demand for highest-priority solutions, reducing the dynamic glass input value to represent the impact of higher-priority building envelope solutions. We then used the output from the dynamic glass model as the input in lower-priority solutions.

Scenario 1 avoids 0.34 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gas emissions compared with high-performance static glass. The net first cost to implement is US$57.79 billion (assuming that high-performance glass is purchased in the reference scenario), but this scenario saves US$113.84 billion in lifetime operating costs due to reduced energy consumption.

Dynamic glass can help commercial buildings reduce their emissions and save operating expenses, though the costs would be significant. For buildings going through a retrofit anyway, it could be financially viable to have dynamic windows installed instead of static high-performance windows. For buildings that do not need any other retrofitting, the business case for replacing high-performance windows with dynamic windows may be weak. Regional variations in weather and dynamic glass price may affect this, however. Realistically, dynamic glass will be mainly adopted in wealthier regions with high average temperatures, such as Australia and the southern and western US. It may also make sense for some residential applications.

I am trying to update a workflow to create a new report type. I am using dynamic input tool and have specified a sheet but, I am getting an error when running the workflow. I have posted a screenshot below (I edited out any sensitive information like the user on the file pathway and the data in the screenshot, hence why it is blank).

I do not need the file path in a formula as it is already present in the data beforehand. Also, I have already tried the triple pipe "" after the file extension to specify a sheet. Doing that only updates this:

The workflow works isolated on its own. I have swapped the files on your provided workflow to the ones I would need in my workflow. I am going to test this out on the actual workflow after lunch and will let you know. Thanks for your help man.

I can only get it to work in that isolated workflow. In my org's workflow, it is not working still. I have reached out to our contact at Alteryx and have some time scheduled with them next week. I have tried every solution available, but because of what the workflow is and what we need out of it, I can't use the Directory tool, nor can I use a specific file path and add "" in a formula tool.

Then the Oxford Dynamic EQ is the tool you need, providing just the required amount of processing when you need it and takes little time to set up. 5 bands of the ultra-musical Type-3 EQ curve can be overlapped to bring unparalleled control and characteristic Sonnox transparency to your single sources, instrument groups and 2-bus alike.

"Wow, an amazing plugin! The feature to set a band's sidechain frequency totally independently is the feature I was missing on all the other dynamic EQs which opens up many interesting possibilities."

I'm looking for a definitive answer on what port range "tcp/dynamic" and "udp/dynamic" uses. I would figure that it is 49152-65535, but I have not been able to locate anything in documentation or the community to confirm this.

This is due to the fact that any app-id can be made up of many different actual signatures, which all have different conditional criteria assigned to them. So looking at the App Store example downloading for instance will use a set signature and happen over dynamic ports, but browsing may happen over standard 443 and use a set signature for that identification.

One app-id doesn't necissarily mean only one signature is being utilized, and through conditional statements they can limit a signature to only identify under set ports listed within the app-id itself.

Thanks for the reply. If dynamic refered to all ports, that would not explain why many apps have specific ports listed, as well as tcp/udp dynamic. If dynamic covered all ports, it would be redundant to include others in the same app.

Since for each app some ports are explicitly listed and others are dynamic it makes me think that the dynamic range is a common range that an app could select a port from, such as 49152-65535. I believe that the app was observed using the specified ports each session, but different random port(s) established per session as well, from an upper-range that could be 49152-65535 or even 32768-61000.

I set up a test and found out a custom App-ID containing tcp/udp dynamic, and a signature looking for user-agents, will match on traffic on destination ports below 1024, 80 and 443 in this case. So it seems that dynamic refers to all ports. The question now is why the apps I mentioned specify specific ports AND a tcp/dynamic port reference at the same time, if dynamic means all ports? Doesn't make sense.

In our environment (OT, no Internet), we change Linux to use the IANA ephemeral range and only have modern OSes. We do not allow any systems to bind to the ephemeral range, so any listening services will always be below 49152 (and typically below 1024). We define Services for everything and do not allow the "application-default" or "any". One advantage to having narrowly defined Services is that there is no need to even allow the initial packet(s) required for PA to discover the App-ID and then block it; if the port isn't within the explicitly defined Service, it never is allowed. This is more work/overhead, but is the most secure approach. We only have 2 types of policy rules that have the ephemeral port range in use: those related to Microsoft Windows with App-IDs ms-wmi and msrpc-base (which list "dynamic" as their ports).
