Abstract: An input is received from a client device and is indicative of a desire to add a device for secure operations. Artifacts are generated and a quick response (QR) code is generated that represents the artifacts. The QR code is transmitted to the client device where it can be read by the device to be added, so the artifacts can be used in performing the secure operations.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for an optical beam-steering device that includes an optical transmitter and/or receiver to transmit and/or receive optical radiation from an optically reflective surface. An array of adjustable dielectric resonator elements is arranged on the surface with inter-element spacings less than an optical operating wavelength. A controller applies a pattern of voltage differentials to the adjustable dielectric resonator elements. The pattern of voltage differentials corresponds to a sub-wavelength reflection phase pattern for reflecting the optical electromagnetic radiation. One embodiment of a dielectric resonator element includes first and second dielectric members extending from the surface. The dielectric resonator elements are spaced from one another to form a gap or channel therebetween. A voltage-controlled adjustable refractive index material is disposed within the gap.
Abstract: Implementations of various methods and systems to transform navigation routes with two waypoints or a destination waypoint or a series sequence of waypoints into objects which are communities to which user(s) may subscribe, friend, follow or be a member of the community. The present disclosed invention relates to combining the concepts of objected oriented programming and navigation systems and social networking and transportation as a fungible asset class or transportation as an open market.
Abstract: A root of trust is established between a cloud and an edge device that communicates with the cloud. The root of trust may be embodied as a secret device key securely stored by the edge device and the cloud. The edge device receives arbitrary cloud modules (workloads) that include guest/tenant code that may communicate with the cloud and possibly local/leaf devices connected to or included with the edge device. The edge device extends or diversifies the root of trust to the cloud modules based on the device key. New keys are derived from the device key. The new keys are used to sign credentials (e.g. tokens or certificates) for the respective cloud modules. This provides each cloud module with its own trusted unique cloud identity that can be verified by the cloud using the cloud's copy of the device key.

Abstract: A system is configured to implement a graphical overlay in a streaming game based on a current game state. Game data generated by a video game is received including game video in the form of a video stream containing game video frames. The game video is displayed on a display screen of a computing device to represent the video game to a user playing the video game at the computing device. At least one feature of the video game is identified at least in the game data. A user interface (UI) control configuration associated with the identified at least one feature is selected from among a plurality of UI control configurations for the video game and a graphical overlay corresponding to the selected UI control configuration is implemented on the video game in the display screen.

Abstract: An array of memory stack structures extends through an alternating stack of insulating layers and electrically conductive layers. The drain-select-level assemblies may be provided by forming drain-select-level openings through a drain-select-level sacrificial material layer, and by forming a combination of a cylindrical electrode portion and a first gate dielectric mayin each first drain-select-level opening while forming a second gate dielectric directly on a sidewall of each second drain-select-level opening in a second subset of the drain-select-level openings. A strip electrode portion is formed by replacing the drain-select-level sacrificial material layer with a conductive material. Structures filling the second subset of the drain-select-level openings may be used as dummy structures at a periphery of an array. The dummy structures are free of gate electrodes and thus prevents a leakage current therethrough.
Abstract: The present disclosure provides a perception system for a vehicle. The perception system includes a number of imaging devices associated with the vehicle and a perception filter for determining a region of interest (“ROI”) for the vehicle based on an intent of the vehicle and a current state of the vehicle. The ROI is used to select images of an environment of the vehicle produced by the imaging devices and the perception filter receives and processes the images produced by the imaging device. The perception system further includes a perception module for receiving the processed images from the perception filter and perceiving the environment of the vehicle based at least in part on the received images.
Abstract: A data analysis system utilizing custom unsupervised machine learning processes over a communications network is disclosed, the system including a repository of data, a web application deployed on a web server, the web application including a data collection interface, wherein the web application is configured for providing a graphical user interface for modifying threshold parameters of a clustering algorithm for clustering the data, executing the clustering algorithm with the threshold parameters that were modified, thereby producing a set of results, providing a graphical user interface for reviewing the set of results of the clustering algorithm and re-executing previous steps if the set of results are not useful and, executing a deep learning algorithm in a deep learning software framework on the set of results, thereby establishing relationships between the data, and providing generalizations of the data.
Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling the motion of an autonomous are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer implemented method includes obtaining, by one or more computing devices on-board an autonomous vehicle, data associated with one or more objects that are proximate to the autonomous vehicle. The data includes a predicted path of each respective object. The method includes identifying at least one object as an object of interest based at least in part on the data associated with the object of interest. The method includes generating cost data associated with the object of interest. The method includes determining a motion plan for the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the cost data associated with the object of interest. The method includes providing data indicative of the motion plan to one or more vehicle control systems to implement the motion plan for the autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: A barrier or “crackstop” that is configured to conduct electrical signals. These configurations may form a wall around integrated, active circuitry of a semiconductor die. This wall may include a conductor that follows a three-dimensional pathway from one side to the other side of the wall. This pathway may have sections that overlap, or double-back, so that portions of the conductor overlap along their individual length. These sections prevent crack propagation internal to the wall.

Abstract: The provision of additional network resources (e.g., in the form of a dedicated super slice), can be requested on demand a per needed basis when higher capacity or performance is requested to facilitate the delivery of a service, when the delivery of the service cannot be met by a network slice associated with the service. A request for using a super slice can be sent to a management gateway device (mGW). The mGW can send the request for authorization to access the additional resources to a management device that manages the additional resources. Authorization can be granted for the additional resources to be used to facilitate or enable tasks that allow for continued delivery of that service.
