  • Patent number: 10979380
    Abstract: Security provisioning is enabled at a communication device. A method can include: executing a high security application on a communication device based, at least, on detecting that high security is enabled for the communication device and detecting execution of a low security application; outputting, via a user interface (UI), information configured to detect an entry to the communication device; detecting an entry at the UI of the communication device; determining whether the entry corresponds to security access information stored in the communication device; and providing access to the communication device based, at least, on determining that the entry corresponds to the security access information.

  • Patent number: 10974758
    Abstract: A method and apparatus that control lateral movement of the vehicle during backward motion are provided. The method includes loading a desired backward path of vehicle, the backward path comprising waypoints to be traveled along during a rearward motion of the vehicle, reflecting the waypoints along a reflection axis perpendicular to a longitudinal axis that runs from front to back of the vehicle such that the reflected waypoints define virtual forward path; and controlling lateral movement of the vehicle to follow the waypoints along the forward path while the vehicle is traveling in a backward direction.

  • Patent number: 10977106
    Abstract: Examples for detecting anomalies in a dataset are provided herein. A decision tree is trained using the data set and partitions of the data set produced by the trained decision tree are identified. Further, subsets of data based at least on the partitions of the data set are identified and z-scores are computed for the subsets of data. Based at least on the subsets of data, a subset of data with a highest z-score is identified as an anomalous subset of data, and the anomalous subset of data is provided for display.

  • Patent number: 10974460
    Abstract: Tracking of measured depth with intervening depositing of one or more layers provides a way of improving the accuracy of surface reconstruction. For example, knowledge of the desired or expected thickness of each layer, in combination with the scan data is combined to yield higher accuracy than is available from scan data of a single scan alone. One application of such an accurate surface reconstruction is in a feedback arrangement in which the desired thickness of one or more subsequent layers to be deposited after scanning is determined from the estimate of the surface depth and a model of the object that is being fabricated, and by increasing accuracy of the surface depth estimate, the precision of the fabrication of the object may be increased.

  • Patent number: 10977557
    Abstract: A system for training a neural network. A switch is linked to feature detectors in at least some of the layers of the neural network. For each training case, the switch randomly selectively disables each of the feature detectors in accordance with a preconfigured probability. The weights from each training case are then normalized for applying the neural network to test data.

  • Patent number: 10979499
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for managed object replication and delivery redirects, directly or indirectly, a client's request for an object that is not available at a best or optimal handling edge server of a network to a parent server that has the requested object. So, where the requested object is not available at the handling edge server, the client's request is redirected directly to the parent server that can provide the requested object to the client or indirectly via one or more parent servers to a parent server that can provide the requested object to the client. The method, system and computer program product further intelligently replicates the object to the edge server if the object is popular enough. Likewise, an object is removed from an edge server when it is no longer popular. All redirection and replication operations are preferably transparent to the end-user and do not degrade the quality of service.

  • Patent number: 10978807
    Abstract: The disclosed technology provides an antenna structure located in the metal casing of a computing device. A first open slot radiating structure radiates at a radiating wavelength and is located on a surface of the metal casing of the computing device. A second open slot radiating structure radiates at the radiating wavelength and is located on the surface of the metal casing of the computing device. At least one closed slot radiator element is located between the first open slot radiating structure and the second open slot radiating structure on the surface of the metal casing of the computing device. The closed slot radiator element is approximately half the length of the radiating wavelength.

  • Patent number: 10979879
    Abstract: An M2M/IoT resource directory entity may discover and register to other resource directory entities by including criteria attributes in discovery broadcasts and then processing link and metadata that may be included in responses. The resource directory with registrations to other resource directories may service a client request by selecting other resources directories to query based on the request or a query criteria contained therein, and then process link and metadata in responses from the other resource directory entities to aggregate a response to the client. Directory-to-directory registrations may be facilitated via using hierarchical parent-child resource directory identifiers, a peer-to-peer identifier regime, or a combination of the two. Observe notifications may include indicia registrations states, e.g., via change and delete response codes.
