  • Patent number: 11888987
    Abstract: Provided is a method and system for digital voting. A digital voting system includes a Voting Administration (VA), a Trusted Third Party (TTP), a Voter and a digital voting platform which implements a Voting Chain (VC) as a Blockchain containing multiple blocks that have “roles”. These blocks include a Genesis block, a Campaign block, a Voter block, a Voting block, and a Legitimacy block. The VC contains data that is linked to an operation in the voting cycle, assigns tasks to a specific entity and establishes rules to ensure a highly secure pattern of actions and roles. The VA declares itself to the TTP, enrolls voters, releases ballots, starts election cycles using different blocks, and authenticates Voter IDs. The Voter discloses its Public Key to the TTP, casts and checks votes. The TTP registers Public Keys on the VC, verifies signatures, ensures anonymity, and registers ballots and votes.

  • Patent number: 11889471
    Abstract: A core network node of a first public land mobile network (PLMN) receives, from a wireless device, a requested international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) offset value for offsetting an IMSI of the wireless device. The core network node transmits, to the wireless device, an accepted IMSI offset value for offsetting the IMSI of the wireless device. First paging occasions of the first PLMN are derived using an alternative IMSI. The alternative IMSI is determined based on a sum of the IMSI of the wireless device and the accepted IMSI offset value.

  • Patent number: 11886275
    Abstract: Systems and methods related to efficient system on chip (SoC) power delivery with adaptive voltage headroom control are described. A method for adaptively controlling voltage headroom for a system includes, in response to either a detection of a headroom violation by a per core voltage regulator headroom monitor or a detection of a voltage droop by a per core droop detector, independently throttle operating frequency of a respective core clock signal. The method further includes, in response to meeting a predetermined criterion: (1) lowering the operating frequency of the respective core clock signal, (2) monitoring headroom violation events and droop events at the lowered operating frequency, and (3) if monitored headroom violation events or monitored droop events continue to meet the predetermined criterion, changing the voltage set point associated with the motherboard voltage regulator to a second voltage set point corresponding to a higher voltage.

  • Patent number: 11887272
    Abstract: A spatial monitoring system employs a partial dimension iterative closest point analysis to provide improved accuracy for point cloud registration. The partial dimension iterative closest point analysis improves registration accuracy by performing optimization in accordance with an error magnitude of each dimension, wherein dimensions having large initial errors are significantly improved, and dimensions having high initial accuracy are further improved. The registration separately optimizes each dimension using surfaces with contributing information for the optimized dimension.

  • Patent number: 11887324
    Abstract: Among other things, techniques are described for cross-modality active learning for object detection. In an example, a first set of predicted bounding boxes and a second set of predicted bounding boxes is generated. The first set of predicted bounding boxes and the second set of predicted bounding boxes are projected into a same representation. The projections are filtered, wherein predicted bounding boxes satisfying a maximum confidence score are selected for inconsistency calculations. Inconsistencies are calculated across the projected bounding boxes based on filtering the projections. An informative scene is extracted based on the calculated inconsistencies. A first object detection neural network or a second object detection neural network is trained using the informative scenes.
