Abstract: Data in a portable electronic device is protected by using external and internal status detection means to determine if the device is misplaced, lost, or stolen. The device then takes, singly or in combination, one of several actions to protect the data on the device, including declaring its location to an owner or service provider, locking the device or specific functions of the device to disable all data retrieval functionality, erasing or overwriting all the stored data in the device or, where the data has been stored in the device in an encrypted format, destroying an internally-stored encryption key, thereby preventing unauthorized access to the encrypted data in the device.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a vehicle having one or more computing devices that may receive instructions to pick up a passenger at a location, determine when the vehicle is within a first distance of the location, provide a first notification that the vehicle is within the first distance, and stop the vehicle. When the vehicle is stopped, the computing device may initiate a countdown. When a client computing device associated with the passenger has not been authenticated, the computing devices may provide a second notification based on a first amount of time remaining in the countdown and a third notification indicating that the trip is cancelled based on a second amount of time remaining in the countdown less than the first amount of time. Once the third notification is provided, the computing devices move the vehicle from the where the vehicle is stopped without the passenger.

Abstract: Wireless communications may comprise communications between a base station and a wireless device. A wireless device may perform beam failure recovery (BFR). Based on an indication of completion of the BFR, the wireless device may determine resources for transmission of uplink signals.

Abstract: A solar array structure, such as for a spacecraft, uses thin solar array panels that, when in a stowed configuration, are stiffened by being bent or curved in one direction to be shaped like a section of a cylinder and placed within a rigid structural frame. As a curved solar panel is not as efficient as a flat panel directly facing the sun, the solar array panels are curved in their stowed configuration for launch only, but flatten after deployment by use of a partially flexible structural frame, where a rectangular frame is made of two opposing rigid sides and two opposing flexible sides, with a thin flexible solar panel attached to rigid sides only. The rigid sides are compressed during stowage to curve the panel before hold-down tensioning. The structure and panels return to their flat free state configuration after release.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for transforming, using at least one translation library, data communicated between a radio and a virtual baseband unit having incompatible data protocols.

Abstract: In some implementations, a credit decision platform may receive a credit request from an applicant and obtain domestic historical data associated with the applicant from a credit bureau device. The credit decision platform may obtain access to an email account associated with the applicant based on determining that the domestic historical data associated with the applicant is insufficient to process the credit request. The credit decision platform may identify, using one or more machine learning models, a set of email messages included in the email account that are relevant to the credit request and may analyze content included in the set of email messages to generate non-domestic historical data associated with the applicant. The credit decision platform may generate a decision on the credit request based on an estimated creditworthiness of the applicant, which may be determined based on the non-domestic historical data.

Abstract: To selecting a lane in a multi-lane road segment for a vehicle travelling on the road segment, a system determines current traffic information for the road segment including a plurality of lanes and applies the current traffic information to a machine learning (ML) model to generate an indication of one of the plurality of lanes in which the vehicle is to travel. Subsequently to the vehicle selecting the indicated lane, the system determines an amount of time the vehicle took to travel a certain distance following the selection, and provides the determined amount of time to the ML model as a feedback signal.

Abstract: A rapid recovery grapple is described. The rapid recover grapple can be used to quick and easily be secured to a vehicle or other item that is submerged in a body of water.
