  • Patent number: 11463983
    Abstract: In a geographic area with limited satellite coverage, multiple signal sources are statically disposed along a path through the geographic area. To automatically determine geographic positions of the signal sources, signal data collected by a receiver moving along the path is received, where the signal data indicates changes, over a period of time, in strength of respective signals emitted by the signal sources. Indications of a first position of the receiver at a first time prior to entering the geographic area and a second position of the receiver at a second time subsequent to leaving the geographic area are received, and positions for the signal sources are determined using the received signal data and the received indications of the positions and the times. The determined positions for the signal sources are used to geoposition a device moving along the path.

  • Patent number: 11399339
    Abstract: A core provider predicts that a device will enter an area of poor coverage by a wireless network provider. Based on the prediction, one or more rules are applied to prioritize data traffic to be received prior to entering the area of poor coverage. The prediction that the device will enter the area of poor coverage may be based on cell coverage data received from the wireless network provider, connection quality data received from other devices, a location of the device, a speed of the device, a direction of the device, or any suitable combination thereof. A route of the device may be changed to avoid or minimize an amount of time in the area of poor coverage. As another alternative, the device may be switched from the wireless network provider to another wireless network with better coverage.

  • Patent number: 11373093
    Abstract: Adversarial input detection and purification (AIDAP) preprocessor and deep learning computer model mechanisms are provided. The deep learning computer model receives input data and processes it to generate a first pass output that is output to the AIDAP preprocessor. The AIDAP preprocessor determines a discriminative region of the input data based on the first pass output and transforms a subset of elements in the discriminative region to modify a characteristic of the elements and generate a transformed input data. The deep learning computer model processes the transformed input data to generate a second pass output that is output to the AIDAP preprocessor which detects an adversarial input or not based on a comparison of the first pass and second pass outputs. If an adversarial input is detected, a responsive action that mitigates effects of the adversarial input is performed.
