Abstract: An enterprise organization may operate a central network and one or more remote networks, each comprising a plurality of computing devices. For protection against malicious actors, the central network may be configured to filter network traffic associated with the computing devices based on identified threats. Traffic corresponding to computing devices connected to the remote network may be tunneled to the central network for filtering by the central network. A tunnel gateway device, associated with the remote network, may efficiently identify which communications are associated with Internet threats, and tunnel such identified traffic to the central network, where actions may be taken to protect the enterprise network.

Abstract: A method includes a first computing device generating a signal having an oscillating component and driving the signal on a first touch sense element of the first computing device. The method continues with the first computing device detecting a touch on the first touch sense element based on the signal. While the touch is detected, the method continues by the first computing device modulating the signal with data to produce a modulated data signal. The method continues with a second computing device receiving the modulated data signal via a transmission medium and a second touch sense element of the second computing device, where the transmission medium includes at least one of a human body and a close proximity between the first and second computing devices. The method continues with by the second computing device demodulating the modulated data signal to recover the data.

Abstract: A radar system includes antenna elements and receive channels. An adaptive switch couples the receive channels to a subset of the antenna elements as selected antenna elements. The selected antenna elements receive reflected signals from reflection by objects and each of the receive channels outputs the digital signal based on the reflected signal from the coupled selected antenna element. A controller processes the digital signal from each receive channel to estimate a direction of arrival (DOA) to each object and generate candidate configurations of the switch. Assessing the candidate configurations includes performing a multi-step assessment using a decision tree with each candidate configuration as a root and examining accuracy of an output at a last step in the decision tree to select a selected candidate configuration based on the accuracy. The switch is configured according to the selected candidate configuration prior to receiving the reflected signals for a next iteration.

Abstract: Systems and methods develop a natural language interface. Conversational data including user utterances is received for a plurality of conversations from a natural language interface. Each of the conversations is classified to determine intents for each user utterance, and for each of the conversations, a control flow diagram showing the intents and sequential flow of the conversation is generated. Each of the control flow diagrams is processed to generate a graph embedding representative of the conversation. A previous conversation that is similar to the current conversation is identified from a previous graph embedding that is nearest to a current graph embedding of a most recent utterance in a current conversation. A previous outcome of the previous conversation is used to predict an outcome of the current conversation, which, when not positive, may control response outputs of the natural language interface to steer the current conversation towards a positive result.

Abstract: A facility for proxying NFT is described. The facility intercepts a request directed to a user to prove possession of a particular NFT. In response to this intercepting, the facility determined that the NFT is a shared NFT, and that the user is among a group of users entitled to use the shared NFT. In response to this determining, the facility automatically uses information available by virtue of possession of the shared NFT to satisfy the intercepted request on behalf of the distinguished user.
