  • Patent number: 10783058
    Abstract: Interaction between operating system components and device drivers via device driver function call addresses is monitored. Each device driver is configured to interface with at least one hardware component of a computing system. One or more verification functions of an extended device driver verification component are registered for at least one of the device driver function call addresses, each defining a predetermined verification condition. A device driver function call to one of the device driver function call addresses is intercepted and evaluated against the predetermined verification condition of the verification function registered for the device driver function call address of the intercepted device driver function.

  • Patent number: 10769259
    Abstract: A method for keystroke-based behavioral verification of user identity of a subject user of a computer system includes obtaining an enrollment signature corresponding to an identified user and serving as a unique identifier of the identified user, the enrollment signature including an enrollment determinate vector generated based on supplying enrollment keystroke data to a deep neural network for processing. The method further includes obtaining verification determinate vector(s), the verification determinate vector(s) for comparison to the enrollment signature to determine whether the subject user is the identified user.

  • Publication number: 20200176728
    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to electrical feedthroughs for thin battery cells. A battery cell enclosure includes a terraced portion having a reduced thickness relative to another portion of the enclosure. The enclosure includes an opening disposed on a horizontal surface of the terraced portion for receiving the electrical feedthrough. Because the feedthrough is disposed on the horizontal surface of the terraced portion, the feedthrough may be over-sized thereby reducing the resistance and impedance of the feedthrough without increasing the height or thickness of the enclosure.

  • Publication number: 20190387281
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes methods, processes and systems for notification of the availability of real-time streaming video of an event of interest to a first user, where the video may be streamed to the system by a user. In one illustrative embodiment, a multiple layer social media aspect may be used for organizing users to receive notifications and receiving videos. The system may aggregate video streams from multiple users to allow display through the system accessible to any subscribing user. The system may further allow for real-time commenting and feedback to be provided by users to the uploading user or to a subject of the video. User data may be sorted by followings, teams and other information in databases for management and access.

  • Publication number: 20190311260
    Abstract: Behavioral verification of user identity includes building a deep neural network for keystroke-based behavioral verification of user identity. The building includes receiving recorded keystroke events, each such recorded keystroke event including (i) an indication of whether the recorded keystroke event is a key press or a key release, (ii) a key identifier of the respective key pressed or released, and (iii) a timestamp of the recorded keystroke event. The building further includes performing pre-processing of the recorded keystroke events to provide data structures representing sequential key events for processing by a deep neural network to extract local patterns, and training the deep neural network using the data structures. The method also includes providing the trained deep neural network for keystroke-based behavioral verification of user identity based on determinate vectors output from the trained deep neural network.

  • Publication number: 20190282391
    Abstract: A system suitable for collecting and transporting urine away from the body of a person or animal may include a urine collecting assembly having a body, a sealing flange, and a reservoir within the body and partially defined by the sealing flange. The sealing flange can define an opening such that the interior of the body is accessible via the opening. A peripheral edge of the opening can be configured to seal around a shaft of a penis of a user disposed through the opening. The urine collecting assembly can also include an outlet in fluidic communication with the reservoir. The urine collecting assembly can be arranged such that a fluid can flow into the body from the urethral opening of the user's penis, collect in the reservoir, and flow out of the outlet.
