  • Autonomous vehicle maneuvering based upon risk associated with occluded regions
    Patent number: 11433883
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle (AV) is described herein. The AV is configured to identify an occluded region where a portion of a field of view of a sensor is occluded by an object. The AV is further configured to hypothesize that an object exists in the occluded region and is moving in the occluded region. The AV is still further configured to perform a driving maneuver based upon the hypothesized object existing in the occluded region.

  • Method, device, and program product for transmitting data between multiple processes
    Patent number: 11438423
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to transmitting data between multiple processes. An example method includes: establishing, in response to receiving a request to transmit data between a client terminal process and a server process in a computing device, a communication connection between the client terminal process and the server process, allocating shared storage blocks to the communication connection in response to determining that available shared storage blocks exist in the computing device, and transmitting data between the client terminal process and the server process using the shared storage blocks. Corresponding devices and program products are also described. Beneficially, shared storage blocks can provide higher bandwidth for inter-process data transmission, thereby improving the performance of data transmission.

  • Apparatus and methods for spatial and operational differentiation and optimization in a wireless system
    Patent number: 11438769
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing multi-tier quasi-licensed spectrum wireless service via a common wireless access node such as a small-cell. In one embodiment, the quasi-licensed system utilizes multi-sector antennae to create antenna lobes adaptively according to parameters associated with different cell sectors, such as user traffic, random access requests, and/or interference. In one variant, when the user traffic or interference is determined to be very high in a particular sector, the sector is configured and activated based on the availability of low-noise spectrum. In another variant, when a new sector is created, the electrical power resources available for that sector are checked, and based on the amount of power available at that sector, either CBSD Category A or B status is allocated to that sector.

  • System and method for reducing client-server network traffic for internet database queries
    Patent number: 11436239
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for improvements for reducing client-server network traffic. For example, methods and systems allow for the reduction of client-server network traffic by altering search filters based on their respective rank and/or frequencies of being searched with other search filters included in a search query. In this way, users do not have to resubmit queries that are illogical or would return a null set of search results. For example, a first query may be received. A first search may be performed based on the first query. A first search filter may be selected based on a hierarchical tree structure of search filters. A second query may be generated comprising the first search filter and one or more other search filters, wherein the second query comprises fewer search filters than the first query, and a second search may be performed based on the second query.

  • Cross-tenant people search in a multi-tenant computing system
    Patent number: 11436230
    Abstract: In a multi-tenant computing system, a cross-tenant user search system receives a user search input from a user using a client of a first tenant. The cross-tenant user search system accesses a policy that identifies one or more related tenants that are related to the first tenant. The policy also identifies directory records of users in the related tenant that can be searched by users of the first tenant. The cross-tenant user search system executes a search against a directory for the first tenant and executes a separate search against the directory records in the related tenants, identified in the policy. The search results from searching the directory for the first tenant and the related search results from searching the directory records in the tenant are aggregated into an aggregated set of search results which are then returned to the client.

  • Local cache-based identification system
    Patent number: 11436888
    Abstract: An identification system uses a local cache for performing identifications. An identity system device may store identity information and identification information. An electronic device stores a cache of a portion of the identity information and a part of the identification information. The electronic device receives user input, determines an identity by comparing the user input to the cached identification information (such as by comparing a received digital representation of a biometric with cached biometric identification information), and performs an action using information in the cached identity information that is associated with the identity. The electronic device may update the identity information stored by the identity system device based on the action.
