Abstract: A method for a gradual credential disablement is provided. The method includes receiving, at data processing hardware, a request for access to a resource. The request includes a request authenticator. The method also includes comparing, by the data processing hardware, the request authenticator against a security credential associated with the resource.

Abstract: Systems and methods for editing and generating digital ink. The present technology may provide systems and methods for training a handwriting model to generate digital ink that is stylistically and visually consistent with an original handwriting input, but which incorporates one or more changes to the text of the original handwriting input. In some examples, training may be performed using training examples that include an original handwriting sample and an original label representing the sequence of characters in the original handwriting sample. In such a case, the original handwriting sample may be processed to generate a style vector that is randomly masked, and the handwriting model may then be trained to generate a predicted handwriting sample that closely matches the original handwriting sample using the masked style vector and the original label as inputs.

Abstract: A method (600) for tuning a tunable laser (310) includes delivering a bias current (IDBR) to an anode of a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) section diode (D2) disposed on a shared substrate of the tunable laser and receiving a burst mode signal (440) indicative of a burst-on state or a burst-off state. When the burst mode signal is indicative of the burst-off state, the method includes offsetting the bias current at the anode of the DBR section diode by one of sourcing a push current with the bias current to the anode of the DBR section diode or sinking a pull current away from the bias current at the anode of the DBR section diode. When the burst mode signal is indicative of the burst-on state, the method also includes ceasing any offsetting of the bias current at the anode of the DBR section diode.

Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques for spatially and temporally dynamic illumination for fingerprint authentication. In aspects, a method is disclosed that involves receiving user input at a display of an electronic device, initiating biometric authentication, and instructing a display-driver integrated circuit (DDIC) to implement a local high-brightness mode, which causes a predetermined portion of the display to increase in luminance to a target luminance for at least a first interval and a second interval. The DDIC is also instructed to cause a variable portion of the display to increase in luminance for the first interval and, at the expiration of the first interval, decrease luminance. During the first and/or second interval, an under-display fingerprint sensor captures one or more images. It is then determined, based on analysis of the one or more images, whether the user input is indicative of an authorized user.
