  • Publication number: 20240169089
    Abstract: Techniques for leveraging a distributed Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure for preserving Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data for distributed resolvers using a hash to policy pair (HPP) database are described. A DNS security service receives metadata including PII associated with a client. A cryptographic hash function is applied to the metadata including PII associated with the client to generate a client hash value. A client HPP is created by mapping the client hash value to a set of DNS policy instructions associated with the client. The client HPP is stored in a HPP database. A distributed resolver is authorized to provide DNS services to the client. Finally, the HPP database is published to the distributed resolver.

  • Patent number: 11991500
    Abstract: A speaker comprises a housing, a transducer residing inside the housing, and at least one sound guiding hole located on the housing. The transducer generates vibrations. The vibrations produce a sound wave inside the housing and cause a leaked sound wave spreading outside the housing from a portion of the housing. The at least one sound guiding hole guides the sound wave inside the housing through the at least one sound guiding hole to an outside of the housing. The guided sound wave interferes with the leaked sound wave in a target region. The interference at a specific frequency relates to a distance between the at least one sound guiding hole and the portion of the housing.
