Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for injecting in-process agents into processes executing self-contained, statically linked binaries that do not interact with a dynamic loader mechanism that identifies and resolves required libraries at run time. System calls directed to the execution of binaries in processes are intercepted and the targeted binary is analyzed to determine whether it is statically linked. In case a statically linked binary is identified, a proxy launcher process is started instead of the binary which starts the original binary as traceable child process. After the child process has loaded the original binary into its process memory, the memory image of the child process is copied to the launcher process and the child process is terminated. An agent is loaded into the launcher process to instruments the copied memory image.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a data processing consent capture system may be configured to prompt the data subject to consent to one or more types of data processing (e.g., to provide a desired consent) in response to identifying particular cookies (e.g., or types of data processing) that a data subject has not consented to. The system may, for example, substantially automatically prompt the data subject to consent for one or more particular types of data processing in response to determining that the user (e.g., data subject) has requested that a website or other system perform one or more functions that are not possible without a particular type of consent from the data subject. The system may, for example, prompt the user to consent in time for a certain interaction with the website, application, etc.

Abstract: Computing devices are described that can reduce a hole-in-active-area (HIAA) size for flexible displays. The computing device may reduce an HIAA size for a camera without using a circular opening, which is often used on smartphones. In particular, the computing device may utilize a non-circular opening (e.g., a pill-shaped HIAA) and include a camera positioned eccentrically within the non-circular opening. In this way, the HIAA size is minimized to increase a size of an active area (e.g., comprising emissive regions) of the flexible display. Furthermore, the reduced HIAA size can reduce electrical circuitry needed within the active area. The flexible displays can include both bendable and rollable displays.

Abstract: A test system for detecting impairment aboard a motor vehicle includes an electronic control unit (ECU) and sensors in communication therewith. The sensors are positioned within a vehicle interior, and include at least a touch screen and a microphone, and possibly an eye-tracking camera. In response to receiving a start request indicative of a requested start event of the motor vehicle, the ECU executes instructions to initiate a cognitive response test via the sensors. The ECU determines a test score of a driver during the test while the motor vehicle remains off, compares the test score to baseline scores to determine a passing or failing test result, and executes a control action aboard the motor vehicle in response to the passing or failing test result. The ECU may disable or immobilize the motor vehicle in response to the failing test result.

Abstract: The methods and systems described herein improve upon existing deep linking concepts, by creating links directed to a feature registry which may then serve the user's need of selecting and accessing a given feature. The feature registry may provide customized features that may populate a feature template in a user interface (e.g., of a feature registry application) on a local device. This population may occur in both a real-time (e.g., based on a continuously updated machine learning model) and modular fashion. For example, the system and methods may generate customized content on a website or mobile application through a hyperlink by filtering available features on a feature registry based on the identity of the user, the information from the user profile, and the description of the hyperlink content.
