  • Detecting and recovering from fatal storage errors
    Patent number: 11182232
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for identifying and responding to a panic condition on a storage system on a computing node. For example, systems disclosed herein may include establishing recovery instructions between a host system and a storage system in responding to a future instance of a panic condition. The storage system may provide an indication of a self-detected panic condition in a variety of ways. In response to identifying the panic condition, the host system may perform one or more recovery actions in accordance with recovery instructions accessible to the host system. This may include performing resets of specific components and reinitializing communication between the host system and storage system in less invasive ways than slower and more expensive conventional approaches for responding to panic conditions on computing nodes.

  • Identification of malware
    Patent number: 11182480
    Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for a system that can be configured to identify cryptomining malware. The electronic device can be configured to identify a website, determine one or more uniform resource locators associated with the website, determine scripts associated with the website, obtain a string format of each of the determined scripts associated with the website, analyze each of the of the string formats to determine if a specific script is related to malware, and block the website if the specific script is related to malware. In an example, the system can also be configured to determine if usage of the computer processing unit and/or system resources increase more than a threshold amount during access to the website and send the one or more uniform resource locators associated with the website to a network security engine for further analysis.

  • Ranking clusters based on facial image analysis
    Patent number: 11182643
    Abstract: A user's collection of images may be analyzed to identify people's faces within the images, then create clusters of similar faces, where each of the clusters may represent a person. The clusters may be ranked in order of size to determine a relative importance of the associated person to the user. The ranking may be used in many social networking applications to filter and present content that may be of interest to the user. In one use scenario, the clusters may be used to identify images from a second user's image collection, where the identified images may be pertinent or interesting to the first user. The ranking may also be a function of user interactions with the images, as well as other input not related to the images. The ranking may be incrementally updated when new images are added to the user's collection.

  • Generating maps of private spaces using mobile computing device sensors
    Patent number: 11181382
    Abstract: Digital maps of private spaces may be implemented using mobile computing device sensors. Sensor data may be received from one or more mobile computing devices to determine a digital signature describing a private space. Scheduling data may also be received from the one or more mobile devices. The scheduling data may describe a location associated with the private space to be mapped. A digital map of the private space may then be generated from the digital signature and the location associated with the private space in the scheduling data.

  • Methods and arrangements in a wireless communications system
    Patent number: 11184884
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and arrangements that make it possible to control the delay for the UEs to access the EUL resources in the Enhanced Uplink in CELL_FACH state procedure, independently from the delay for the UEs to access ordinary UL resources in the RACH procedure. This is achieved by a solution where the timing of entering (or re-entering) a transmission procedure for Enhanced Uplink in CELL_FACH state is controlled with the help of a transmission control parameter defined specifically for this transmission procedure, instead of using the same parameter as for the RACH procedure.
