The DMAG or other entity may initiate a secure session with a DMS based on the application and/or operating system not being in the normal service such that the DMS may determine whether the device may have a potential software problem. The DMAG or other entity may set up or establish a recovery and/or upgrade session based on the device having the potential software problem (e.g.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and/or techniques for performing active authentication on a device during a session with a user may be provided to detect an imposter. To perform active authentication, meta-recognition may be performed. For example, an ensemble method to facilitate detection of the imposter. The ensemble method may user discrimination using random boost and/or intrusion or change detection using transduction. Scores and/or results may be received from the ensemble method. A determination may be made, based on the scores and/or results, whether to continue to enable access to the device, whether to invoke collaborative filtering and/or challenge-responses for additional information, and/or whether to lock the device. Based on the determination, user profile adaptation on a user profile used in the ensemble method and/or the determination and/or retrain the ensemble method, collaborative filtering and/or challenge-responses, and/or a lock procedure may be performed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and/or techniques for providing a digital coupon may be disclosed. For example, a server may distribute or deliver the coupons based on data collected or gathered about a user. The server may have one or more settings that may be used to collect or gather data about the user. The server may apply those settings. The settings may include a source such as asocial network, a device, websites, an application, and/or the like that may be identified and/or may have parameters associated from which the data may be collected. The server may connect to the source based on the settings and may receive data about or for a user from the source. The server may generate a user profile and/or a score associated with the user based on the data and may send a digital coupon to the user based on the user profile and score.

Abstract: Data overhead of mesh-based multicast ad hoc routing protocols are controlled by adaptively adding redundancy to the minimal data overhead multicast mesh as required by the network conditions. The computation of the minimal data overhead multicast mesh is NP-complete, and therefore an heuristic approximation algorithm inspired on epidemic algorithms is employed to increase tractability of a solution. A mobility-aware and adaptive mesh construction algorithm based on a probabilistic path selection is provided, which is able to adapt the reliability of the multicast mesh to the mobility of the network. Simulation results show that the proposed approach, when implemented into On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol (ODMRP), is able to offer similar performance results and a lower average latency, while reducing data overhead between 25 to 50% compared to the original ODMRP.

Abstract: A golf glove magnetic attachment adaptor has a magnetic body and a male snap stud. The magnetic body includes a magnet and a magnet casing; the magnet casing having an end wall, a lateral wall, and an end cap. The magnet is positioned within the magnet casing and allows the golf glove magnetic attachment adaptor to be attached to any substantially ferrous metal object. The male snap stud is centrally connected to the magnet casing opposite the magnet and allows the golf glove magnetic attachment adaptor to be attached to a female snap socket of a golf glove. In turn, the golf glove can be attached to any desired metal object. The golf glove magnetic attachment adaptor also functions as a ball marker when detached from the golf glove by depressing the male snap stud into the ground in order to anchor the magnetic body in place.
