  • Patent number: 11963011
    Abstract: A strength meter in a relay attack determination device is disposed on a portable device and measures a reception strength by a plurality of times in each of a request signal and a request signal received from an in-vehicle device. A comparator executes a comparative process of the request signal and the request signal by using average values of the reception strength measured by the strength meter. A variation calculator calculates variation in the reception strength measured by a plurality of times in the strength meter regarding the request signal. The comparator, in a case where the variation in the reception strength exceeds a threshold value indicating a communication failure in the request signal, determines the relay attack regardless of a result of the comparative process.

  • Patent number: 11956311
    Abstract: A computer device in a network receives data units sent by a remote computer device over a network link in a sequenced order. A traffic monitor evaluates traffic on the network link, and selectively sends congestion notifications in response to determining that certain data units sent by the remote computer device have been received or will likely be received out of the sequenced order. The notifications cause the remote computer device to pause sending further data units. An ingress processor, separate from a central processing unit (CPU) of the computer device, detects a header segment of a received data unit and a corresponding payload segment of the received data unit. A storage controller stores the header segment of the received data unit in a first memory location, and stores the payload segment of the received data unit in a second memory location separate from the first memory location. The second memory location corresponds to a next location in a storage queue.

  • Patent number: 11929971
    Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to email threading based on machine learning determined categories and features. A network system accesses a plurality of emails addressed to a user. The network system then classifies, using a machine learning model, each email into at least one of a plurality of categories. For a category of the plurality of categories, one or more feature values are extracted from each email in the category. Based on the category and the extracted feature values, the network system groups messages having a same feature value in the same category together into a single email thread. Information related to the single email thread is then presented at a client device of the user.

  • Patent number: 11895074
    Abstract: An email ranking system assigns scores to emails of a user based on actions that other recipients of the emails have taken with respect to the emails. In determining the scores, the email ranking system may weight each recipient's action based on how closely connected the recipient is to the user and a type of connection the recipient has to the user. Each email's score may represent a likelihood that the email contains content that is important to the user. A client device may display the user's emails based on the scores. The client device may list the emails in descending order based on the scores, enabling the user to prioritize review of emails that are more likely to be important to the user. In this way, the email ranking system improves the client device by helping the user more quickly identify important emails.

  • Patent number: 11876864
    Abstract: The condition of SFP transceivers of RDF port pairs is monitored and used to project port pair data transmission rate degradation. Responsive to receipt of a command to migrate data from a source volume to a target volume, ability of port pairs to accommodate the additional load associated with data migration is calculated based on projected data transmission rate and normal load. Only port pairs that are capable of accommodating the additional load in view of the condition of the SFP transceivers are considered as candidates. Utilization of the source volume is monitored and the target volume is created with a size based on projected growth of utilization of the source volume.
