Abstract: Connections among two different entities are identified by processing a collection of documents to identify one or more documents that contain co-occurring mentions of each of the two different entities. This relationship may be graphically displayed in a user interface with an icon or the like for each of the two entities, along with a graphical link interconnecting the entities. The graphical link can be an active element of the user interface that responds to user interactions by providing access to evidence within the collection of documents that substantiates the connection between the two entities. In one aspect, a search input form field in a user interface may be used to explicitly request documents that substantiate a relationship between two entities. In another aspect, a user may ground entity mentions by explicitly selecting documents that mention an entity of interest.

Abstract: An oscillation system includes an oscillation circuitry configured to cause at least one motor of a first set of motors to provide an oscillation of a user-input device in at least one axis of the user-input device. The oscillation may be triggered in response to an input from at least one sensor, the user-input device for operating an aircraft control system of an aircraft. The oscillation circuitry is configured to operate independently from a resistive force circuitry. The resistive force circuitry is to provide a resistive force to the user-input device, using the at least one motor of the first set of motors.

In one embodiment, a method for operating system level mute services comprises: registering activation of a first network communication call by a first communication application with an operating system; subscribing the first communication application to operating system level mute services; with the operating system level mute services, monitoring a mute state of the first communication application based on one or more messages from the first communication application, and displaying a mute state indication via a mute user interface; and with the operating system level mute services, monitoring for a mute state change request based on user interaction with the mute user interface, and selectively forwarding the mute state change request to the first communication application.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide for the detection and/or use of countermeasures to prevent and/or limit unauthorized devices from accessing and/or using another's communication network. An exemplary system includes a cloud controller and a gateway device that communicate via the infrastructure provided by a service provider communication network, wherein the gateway device operates in part to execute a device discovery algorithm to detect devices that are connected to a network facilitated by the gateway device and/or employ countermeasures to thwart further access by any unauthorized device. An exemplary method executes a device discovery algorithm to apply one or more of a plurality of device discovery protocols to detect devices that are connected to a network facilitated by a gateway device and/or implement countermeasures to block further access. Other aspects are described in detail herein.

Abstract: A secure connection to a router web UI is provided. In one implementation, responsive to a client request to securely connect to a router web server (RWS), the RWS generates and sends a certificate signing request (CSR) to a remote-security certificate server (R-SCS). Upon validation of the RWS, the R-SCS signs and transmits a router web UI certificate (RWUIC) to the RWS to present to the client. In another implementation, the router includes a local-SCS (L-SCS) that periodically obtains a short-lived intermediate certification authority (ICA) certificate from the R-SCS. Responsive to a client request for secure access to the RWS, the RWS generates and sends a CSR to the L-SCS for the RWUIC. The L-SCS signs the RWUIC and passes the ICA certificate and RWUIC to the RWS, which presents the certificate(s) to the client. Upon validation of the certificate(s), a secure channel between the client and RWS is established.
