Abstract: A method and system of estimating human perception of audibility of audio alerts in the presence of background noise. In the audibility estimation system, a microphone generates an input signal corresponding to an audio alert. A processor receives the input signal and generates an audibility metric representing human perception of audibility of the audio alert based on a comparison between a background noise estimate and an audio alert estimate, and causes an action to be taken based on the audibility metric.

Abstract: An automatic file encryption method and device for automatically encrypting a file. A processor identifies a characteristic associated with likely sensitive content based on a usage pattern of encrypting files having the characteristic. Creation of a new file is detected and the newly-created file is analyzed to determine whether the file contains sensitive content based upon it having the characteristic. If the file is found to have the characteristic, then the file is automatically encrypted.

Abstract: A method for processing a wake-up trigger frame includes receiving, at a wake-up radio of a device and from an access point, a wake-up trigger frame, where the wake-up trigger frame includes a group receiver identity; and in response to determining that the device is associated with the group receiver identity, sending a signal to a primary radio of the device to turn on the primary radio.

Abstract: An access point advertises a management frame quality of service (MFQ) policy that defines an access category used for transmitting a first type of management frame. Each mobile station associated with the access point is to prioritize transmission of management frames according to the MFQ policy advertised by the access point, unless a policy configuration request for the mobile station to prioritize transmission of management frames according to a different MFQ policy has been accepted.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to identify functions prone to logic errors in software components using binary static analysis. In some aspects, one computer-implemented method includes identifying a function defined within a binary software component; determining one or more complexity characteristics of the function based on included instructions; determining, based on the complexity characteristics, whether the function is likely to produce errors when the instructions included in the function are executed by a processor; and in response to determining that the function is likely to contain errors, generating an indication that the function requires further review.

Abstract: A system and method enforce file system path-based access controls in a message-based operating system. The system and method enforce a list of rules that provide a grant and an access restriction to file system paths to server applications. A path manager receives client messages marked by a kernel to indicate that the client is subject to the path-based access controls. The path manager control access to the file systems served by the server applications in response to the rules that provide grants and access restrictions. The path manager exercises that control by transmitting messages to the client that establishes privileges to systems paths through an authentication protocol.

Abstract: A method at a power-limited computing station for communicating in an intelligent transport system, the method including operating the computing station in one of a non-critical radio operating state and a safety-critical radio operating state; receiving a trigger at the computing station; determining whether the trigger should cause the computing station to transition a radio operating state; and if the trigger should cause the computing station to transition the radio operating state, changing the radio operating state to the other of the non-critical radio operating state and the safety-critical radio operating state.

Abstract: Methods and devices for encoding a point cloud. A current node associated with a sub-volume is split into further sub-volumes, each further sub-volume corresponding to a child node of the current node, and, at the encoder, an occupancy pattern is determined for the current node based on occupancy status of the child nodes. A probability distribution is selected from among a plurality of probability distributions based on occupancy data for a plurality of nodes neighbouring the current node. The encoder entropy encodes the occupancy pattern based on the selected probability distribution to produce encoded data for the bitstream and updates the selected probability distribution. The decoder makes the same selection based on occupancy data for neighbouring nodes and entropy decodes the bitstream to reconstruct the occupancy pattern.

Abstract: A method disclosed herein includes displaying information associated with a first application in a display area of an electronic device, detecting a change in direction of a continuous gesture across at least a portion of the display area between a first direction and a second direction different than the first direction, the continuous gesture associated with a request to display information of a second application, the first application being different than the second application, in response to detecting the change in direction of the continuous gesture, reducing display of the first application to a first portion of the display area and presenting a preview of information associated with the second application in a second portion of the display area in which the first application was presented prior to detection of the continuous gesture, based on a first characteristic of the continuous gesture, discontinuing providing the first information and display the second application in the display area, and base

Abstract: A method implemented by a computing device having a memory and a motion sensor detection sensor is disclosed. The memory stores an input model associated with a gesture input. The method includes detecting a motion of the computing device; matching the detected motion with the input model; and determining a confidence level associated with the match. If the confidence level is above a pre-determined threshold, an action associated with the gesture input is performed automatically by the processor; and if the confidence level is below the pre-determined threshold, the action is performed by the processor responsive to receiving a positive confirmation of the gesture input.

Abstract: In some examples, a user equipment (UE) is registered with a fifth generation (5G) core network. In response to an emergency indication, the UE selects a first domain intended for a call responsive to the emergency indication. Subsequent to selecting the first domain, the UE attempts a combined registration with a second core network different from the 5G core network. In response to attempting the combined registration, the UE receives a further indication that the UE is registered for packet switched services but not circuit switched services. In response to the further indication, the UE selects an access network connected to a third core network to perform the call.

Abstract: Described are methods and computing devices for identifying potential vulnerabilities in a software package. The package includes build files that include an application file and one or more associated files. The method may include scanning the application file to identify and extract a string from the application file and determining that the string is referenced in one of the associated files and obtaining data associated with the string from the associated file. The string may then be classified based, in part, on the data obtained from the associated file, and a full context may be determined for the string based, at least in part, on the classification. A relevance rank for the string is then set based on the full context and the string and its relevance rank are output.
