  • Patent number: 12179024
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for detecting if a stimulation lead implanted in a patient's brain has moved. Lead movement occurring between a first time and a second time may be determined by comparing features extracted from evoked potentials recorded at the two times. The disclosed methods and systems are particularly useful for determining if a stimulation lead has moved between the time it was implanted in the patient's brain and the time that stimulation parameters are being optimized. Lead movement during implantation, during parameter optimization, and during or between other lead optimization processes may be determined as well.

  • Patent number: 12180766
    Abstract: Techniques for managing the doors of a vehicle are discussed herein. In some examples, a vehicle may have one or more doors configured to open and close. The doors may include one or more sensor devices located along the inside edges of the doors. The sensor devices may be configured to capture sensor data of a region between the doors. In some instances, the vehicle may have a door frame that may define a door aperture when the vehicle doors are in a non-closed state. The door frame may include one or more sensor devices located along an edge portion of the door frame. Such sensor devices may capture sensor data of the region within the door aperture. In such instances, a second plane (e.g., defined by the door frame) may be interior to a first plane (e.g., defined by the doors) relative to the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12184793
    Abstract: A method for certificate chain validation is disclosed for memory-efficient execution inside a secure execution environment of a hardware security module (HSM), despite very limited memory being inside the HSM. This is achieved by allocating enough HSM memory for at least the root certificate, a signer certificate, and a certificate to be validated, and replacing the signer certificate as the certificate chain is traversed. Revalidation of data is implemented by computing secure tags that enable the HSM to quickly recognize previously validated data. Chain validation is only considered provisional until checked against a CRL, which can be provided to the HSM in a streaming fashion, and each received serial number in the CRL is checked against the list of serial numbers representing the provisionally verified chain.

  • Patent number: 12184682
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprising an analytic server, which automatically detects malicious electronic files. The analytic server receives electronic files, runs a file extraction module to recursively scan the electronic files, and extracts all of the embedded and linked electronic files. The analytic server runs an exploit scanner against the extracted electronic files, and extracts code included in the electronic files. The analytic server deobfuscates the extracted code and examines the deobfuscated code by applying a set of malicious behavior rules against the deobfuscated rules. The analytic server identifies potentially malicious electronic files based on the examination. The analytic server applies a set of whitelist rules on the potentially malicious electronic files to eliminate false alarms. The analytic server transmits alert notifications to an analyst regarding the malicious electronic files and updates the whitelist rules based on analyst's feedback.
