Abstract: A computer-vision system or engine that (a) generates from a pixel stream a digital representation of a person and (b) determines attributes or characteristics of the person from that digital representation and (c) based on those attributes or characteristics, outputs data to a cloud-based analytics system that enables that analytics system to identify and also to authenticate the person. The attributes or characteristics of the person include their pose, and the system or engine analyses that pose to extract a facial image from a video stream that is the best facial image for use by the cloud-based analytics system to identify and authenticate the person. The computer-vision system or engine outputs the facial image to the cloud-based analytics system, but does not output the full-frame real-time video to the cloud-based analytics system.

Abstract: A system for closed-loop modulation of audio data includes a neural oscillation modulator. The neural oscillation modulator receives initial audio data selected by a user. The neural oscillation modulator receives current neural oscillation data for a current time period. The neural oscillation modulator obtains historical neural oscillation data for historical time periods. The neural oscillation modulator determines modulated audio data based on the initial audio data, the current neural oscillation data, the historical data, and a pre-configured input-output relationship. The current neural oscillation data is phase shifted based on the historical data and the pre-configured input-output relationship to determine the modulated audio data. The neural oscillation modulator delivers the modulated audio data to a user device. The user device generates audio waves based on the modulated audio data and delivers the audio waves to the user to adjust neural oscillation activity of the user.

Abstract: A method and system for authenticating answers to Domain Name System (DNS) queries originating from recursive DNS servers are provided. A verification component provides a verification that a DNS query originated from the recursive DNS server. An authoritative DNS server receives the query via a network, such as the Internet, and provides an answer to the query to an authentication component. The authentication component then provides an authentication, such as a digital signature, which confirms that the received answer was provided by the authoritative DNS server, and then communicates the answer and the authentication to the verification component via the network. The verification component then verifies that the authentication corresponds to the received answer and sends the answer to the recursive DNS server. When the verification component receives an answer in the absence of a corresponding authentication, the verification component drops the answer.
