  • Patent number: 10719706
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprise an analytic server, which provides a terrain segmentation and classification tool for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. The server accurately segments and classifies terrain types in SAR imagery and automatically adapts to new radar sensors data. The server receives a first SAR imagery and trains an autoencoder based on the first SAR imagery to generate learned representations of the first SAR imagery. The server trains a classifier based on labeled data of the first SAR imagery data to recognize terrain types from the learned representations of the first SAR imagery. The server receives a terrain query for a second SAR imagery. The server translates the second imagery data into the first imagery data and classifies the second SAR imagery terrain types using the classifier trained for the first SAR imagery. By reusing the original classifier, the server improves system efficiency.

  • Patent number: 10721213
    Abstract: A method of obfuscating a source of a multicast packet is provided. The method includes receiving a plurality of multicast packets at a first device from one or more second devices, the multicast packets received over one or more network links. A source internet protocol (IP) address of each multicast packet of the plurality of multicast packets is an IP address of the one or more second devices that sent the multicast packet. The source IP address of each of the plurality of multicast packets is changed to an IP address other than an IP address of the first device or an IP address of the one or more second devices. The plurality of multicast packets can then be sent.

  • Patent number: 10674446
    Abstract: Embodiments for a module for scheduling sleep/wake intervals for a first one or more communication devices are disclosed. The module includes a computer readable medium having instructions thereon. The instructions, when executed by one or more processing devices, cause the one or more processing devices to obtain a coverage prediction for the first one or more communication devices. The coverage prediction indicates intervals during which a second one or more communication devices are predicted to be within range of the first one or more communication devices. The instructions also cause the one or more processing devices to generate sleep intervals and wake intervals for the first one or more communication devices based on the coverage predictions.

  • Patent number: 10656940
    Abstract: Described herein are various computing technologies for various reverse engineering platforms capable of outputting (e.g., creating, generating) a human readable and high level source code (e.g., C formatted text, Fortran formatted text, LISP formatted text, BASIC formatted text) from various binary files (e.g., application binary file, executable binary file, data binary file) in its original language, as developed before compilation. For example, some of such reverse engineering platforms can be programmed to disassemble binary files from different process architectures, identify various code optimizations as compiler introduced, reverse or unwind various compiler optimizations (de-optimize), and generate a human readable and high-level source code from de-optimized data. These techniques can be technically beneficial for design recovery purposes (e.g., security auditing, digital rights management, driver engineering).

  • Patent number: 10652220
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprise a computing device, which provides a secure data transport service (SecureX) for data packets traversing from an end user device (EUD) to a mission network over untrusted networks. The disclosed SecureX module may be software product running on the EUD and on a SecureX appliance fronting the mission network. The SecureX module on the EUD compresses the data packets by removing header fields that are constant over the same packet flow and double encrypts the data packets with different cryptographic keys. The SecureX on the EUD transmits the double compressed encrypted data packets over the untrusted network. The SecureX appliance receives the double compressed encrypted data packets, decrypts the data packets and decompresses the data packets to recreate the original data packets. The SecureX appliance transmits the original data packets to the mission network.

  • Patent number: 10619359
    Abstract: A vented and water control paneling has improved drainage and integrated ventilation air space. The water control paneling may be fabricated with an omnidirectional relief pattern formed on its back surface. The relief pattern spaces the vented and water control paneling away from a structure to which it is secured, thereby providing an omnidirectional drainage plane between the back surface of the paneling and the structure. The omnidirectional drainage plane provides an unimpeded ventilation and drainage path of water and/or water vapor.

  • Patent number: 10547679
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a cloud data synchronization system enabling an user operating a mobile client device to download mission-specific data sets from a fixed cloud-based server system to a database of the mobile client device, and then use the downloaded data sets independently on the mobile client device when the mobile client device is disconnected from a network connecting to the fixed cloud-based server system. When connectivity to the fixed cloud-based server system is re-established by the mobile client device in an intermittent and bandwidth-limited communication network environment, the fixed cloud-based server system may provide bi-directional data synchronization between records of the fixed cloud-based server system and the mobile client device to update the data sets on the fixed cloud-based server system and the mobile client device while operating in the intermittent and bandwidth-limited communication network environment.
