Abstract: A request to modify a set of permissions (e.g., delete the permissions, replace the set of permissions with a different set of permissions) is received at a computing device. A set of services are prevented from using the set of permissions to access resources. The set of permissions are changed while the set of services are prevented from using the set of permissions to access resources.

Abstract: A device such as an autonomous mobile device may include an extensible mast or other structure that changes length during operation. A cable between electronics at the ends of the structure includes a data line for signals and a power line for electrical power. A deployed length of the cable is determined and used to determine the phase of an antinoise signal that is radiated using the power line. The antinoise signal destructively interferes with at least a portion of the radiated noise from the data line, reducing the overall amplitude of the radiated noise. The deployed length may also be used to adjust other parameters, such as equalizer settings for one or more of a transmitter or receiver that is connected to the data line.

Abstract: Technologies for dynamic noise cancelation using noise patterns are described. One device includes a moveable assembly having first and second degrees of freedom. A component within the base assembly radiates electromagnetic energy in a radiation pattern as a noise source when operating and an antenna, coupled to a receiver, is disposed on the support member. The processing device, using noise profile data about the radiation pattern of the noise source, determines that the component is operating and a current angle between the component and the antenna. The processing device determines a difference value between the current angle and the first angle and causes the moveable assembly to move at least one of the antenna or the base assembly according to the difference value.

Abstract: High-speed data connectors having a variety of different implementations to address unwanted electromagnetic radiation and interference are described. In some instances, resonant unit structures are added within the existing connector cavity that absorb and dampen unwanted electromagnetic radiation. In other instances, resonant unit structures are added to the exterior of the connector to reduce and eliminate surface currents that can occur on the solid metal shield of the connector. In these and other instances, the resonant unit structure can be formed from a stacked structure having a resonant structure arranged in close proximity to some of the connector pins to absorb unwanted radiation from those pins. The absorbed energy is transferred to ground through other components in the stack. In still other instances, various different materials are provided to replace the conventional plastic material that is used to keep the connector pins in place and in alignment.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a circuit board including a contact pad. The circuit board includes one or more chips on the circuit board. The circuit board further includes a signal pin having a first end, a second end, and an intermediate portion between the first end and the second end. The first end of the signal pin is in contact with the contact pad, where the signal pin has a resonant frequency outside a predetermined frequency range. The apparatus includes a lossy dielectric material surrounding the intermediate portion of the signal pin, where the lossy dielectric material is configured to absorb radio frequency signals from the signal pin in the predetermined frequency range.

Abstract: A device is described. The device includes a data interface connector, an application processor, and interface circuitry. The application processor can receive signals via an antenna. The interface circuitry can be coupled between the application processor and the data interface connector. The data interface circuitry can determine a change in a signal property of one of the signals, the change being caused by an impedance mismatch between the data interface connector and a media consumption device. The data interface circuitry can also send the application processor a signal property setting corresponding with the change. The application processor can adjust the signal property of a subsequent one of the signals, in response to the signal property setting from the interface circuitry, to obtain an adjusted signal. The application processor can also send the adjusted signal to the media consumption device.

Abstract: A processing device detects an occurrence of the first set of use conditions associated with a power supply line coupled between a power source and a power sink in a user device. The processing device sets a tunable decoupling capacitor on the power supply line to a first capacitance value to reduce a level of electromagnetic interference on the power supply line at a first frequency corresponding to the first capacitance value. When the processing device detects a change from the first set of use conditions associated with the power supply line to a second set of use conditions, the processing device sets the tunable decoupling capacitor to a second capacitance value to reduce a level of electromagnetic interference on the power supply line at a second frequency corresponding to the second capacitance value.
