Abstract: Methods are disclosed that, in some aspects, provide for the determination of alarm events or non-alarm events based on data received from various sensors monitoring one or more entry points of a premises. Non-alarm events may, for example, include a seismic event or a knock event. Determining whether the data received from the various sensors is an alarm or non-alarm event may be based on data received from two or more sensors monitoring two or more entry points of the premises. Further, data related to the non-alarm event that occurred at the premise may be compared to data related to non-alarm events that occurred at other premises and, based on the comparison, one or more authorities may be alerted to the non-alarm event.

Abstract: A base station transmits configuration parameters indicating a plurality of slot format combinations of a cell and a slot format indicator (SFI)-radio network temporary identifier (RNTI). The base station transmits, during a slot and based on the SFI-RNTI, downlink control information (DCI) indicating a slot format combination of the plurality of slot format combinations. The slot format combination indicates a channel occupancy time (COT) duration for the cell. The base station receives, from a wireless device and via the cell, a transport block during the COT duration, wherein the COT duration starts from the slot.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system for generating risk scores in near real-time. The system includes a processor and a memory coupled with and readable by the processor and storing therein a set of instructions. When executed by the processor, the processor is caused to generate risk scores in near real-time by receiving near real-time application events associated with an application in near real-time and identifying anomalies from the near real-time application events. The processor is further caused to generate risk scores in near real-time by generating an intermediate near real-time risk score for the identified anomalies and combining the intermediate near real-time risk score with a batch risk score generated from a batch process executed prior to receiving the near real-time application events to generate a near real-time risk score.

Abstract: A bone insert includes a cap having a convex top surface, an elongated stem, and a barrier between the cap and the stem. The stem of the bone insert is inserted into a hole formed in a host bone until the barrier is pressed against the exposed bone.

Abstract: A computing system may determine that a change has occurred in a software application or a document object model associated with a software application. The computing system may obtain a current copy of a document object model (DOM) associated with the application and a current screenshot of a screen displaying the application (e.g., in response to determining that the change in the DOM has occurred). If the current copy of the DOM is determined to be similar to the screenshot, the computing system may save storage space by storing the current copy of the DOM and discarding the screenshot. The computing system may store the current copy of the DOM in a memory buffer. The computing system may send the DOM copies or screenshots stored in the memory buffer to the monitoring system, for example, if an error in the application is detected.

Abstract: Computer-readable media, systems and methods may improve an ability to validate a multipart transaction involving multiple parties and sub-transactions and securely store and access multipart transaction data through a peer-to-peer computer network and a distributed ledger. A multipart transaction, such as a Murabaha transaction, may refer to a transaction having multiple parts involving multiple parties in connection with an agreement between two or more of the parties in which a commodity sale or other vehicle is created based on the agreement. The commodity may be tokenized for transfer in the multipart transaction. Validation of digitally signed data relating to the sub-transactions may provide secure authentication of the sub-transactions and atomic transfers of the tokenized commodity between relevant parties of sub-transactions in connection with the agreement.

Abstract: The description relates to cameras, and camera calibration for enhancing user experiences. One example can receive a first image of a user at a first location relative to a camera. The first image can include the user's upper body but does not include the user from head to toe. The example can receive a second image of the user at a second location relative to a camera. The second image can include the user's upper body but does not include the user from head to toe. The example can estimate a distance of the second location from the first location relative to the camera and calibrate a height and tilt angle of the camera from the first image, the second image, and the estimated distance and without a full body image of the user.

Abstract: Biometric data are obtained from biometric sensors on a stand-alone computing device, which may contain an ASIC, connected to or incorporated within it. The computing device and ASIC, in combination or individually, capture biometric samples, extract biometric features and match them to one or more locally stored, encrypted templates. The biometric matching may be enhanced by the use of an entered PIN. The biometric templates and other sensitive data at rest are encrypted using hardware elements of the computing device and ASIC, and/or a PIN hash. A stored obfuscated Password is de-obfuscated and may be released to the authentication mechanism in response to successfully decrypted templates and matching biometric samples. A different de-obfuscated password may be released to authenticate the user to a remote or local computer and to encrypt data in transit. This eliminates the need for the user to remember and enter complex passwords on the device.
