Publication number: 20230370245Abstract: Described systems and methods allow carrying out privacy-preserving DNS exchanges. In some embodiments, a client machine engages in a private information retrieval (PIR) exchange with a nameserver. In response to receiving an encrypted query from the client, the query formulated according to a domain name, the nameserver may extract a record (e.g., an IP address) from a domain name database without decrypting the respective query. Some embodiments achieve such information retrieval by the use of homomorphic encryption.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Inventors: Bogdan C. CEBERE, Elena BURCEANU, Madalina BOLBOCEANU, Emanuela HALLER, Georgiana M. ROSCA, Radu TITIU

Publication number: 20230306106Abstract: Some embodiments employ a consensus-building procedure to train a multitask graph comprising a plurality of nodes interconnected by a plurality of edges, wherein each node is associated with a task of determining a set of node-specific attributes of a set of input data, and each edge comprises an AI module (e.g., neural network) configured to determine attributes of an end node according to attributes of a start node of the respective edge. Training fosters consensus between all edges converging to a node. The trained multitask graph may then be deployed in a threat detector configured to determine whether an input set of data is indicative of malice (e.g., malware, intrusion, online threat, etc.).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2022Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Elena BURCEANU, Emanuela HALLER, Marius LEORDEANU, Razvan PREJBEANU, Constantin D.

Patent number: 11600013Abstract: Tracking units for facial features with advanced training for natural rendering of human faces in real-time are provided. An example device receives a video stream, and upon detecting a visual face, selects a 3D model from a comprehensive set of head orientation classes. The device determines modifications to the selected 3D model to describe the face, then projects a 2D model of tracking points of facial features based on the 3D model, and controls, actuates, or animates hardware based on the facial features tracking points. The device can switch among an example comprehensive set of 35 different head orientation classes for each video frame, based on suggestions computed from a previous video frame or from yaw and pitch angles of the visual head orientation. Each class of the comprehensive set is trained separately based on a respective collection of automatically marked images for that head orientation class.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2020Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Inventors: Mihai Ciuc, Stefan Petrescu, Emanuela Haller, Florin Oprea, Alexandru Nicolaescu, Florin Nanu, Iulian Palade

Patent number: 10740633Abstract: Method for monitoring eyelid opening values. In one embodiment video image data is acquired with a camera which data are representative of a person engaged in an activity, where the activity may be driving a vehicle, operating industrial equipment, or performing a monitoring or control function. When the person's head undergoes a change in yaw angle, such that eyelids of both eyes of the person are captured with the camera, but one eye is closer to the camera than the other eye, a weighting factor is applied, which factor varies as a function of the yaw angle such that a value representative of eyelid opening data based on both eyes is calculated.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2018Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: FotoNation LimitedInventors: Florin Nanu, Stefan Petrescu, Florin Oprea, Emanuela Haller
