  • Patent number: 12218923
    Abstract: Contents of client-initiated handshake messages of a security protocol are obtained at a handshake processing offloader configured for an application. The offloader uses a first security artifact (which is inaccessible from a front-end request processor of the application) and the contents of the handshake messages to generate a second security artifact. The second security artifact is transmitted to the front-end request processor, which uses it to perform cryptographic operations for client-server interactions of the application.

  • Patent number: 12198058
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a tightly coupled end-to-end multi-sensor fusion with integrated compensation are described herein. For example, a system includes an inertial measurement unit that produces inertial measurements. Additionally, the system includes additional sensors that produce additional measurements. Further, the system includes one or more memory units. Moreover, the system includes one or more processors configured to receive the inertial measurements and the additional measurements. Additionally, the one or more processors are configured to compensate the inertial measurements with a compensation model stored on the one or more memory units. Also, the one or more processors are configured to fuse the inertial measurements with the additional measurements using a differential filter that applies filter coefficients stored on the one or more memory units.

  • Patent number: 12192741
    Abstract: Techniques for using a network to decompose an HRTF data set to generate approximation data and to render an audio signal using the approximation data are disclosed herein. An input HRTF data set is fed into the network, which then generates approximation data that includes mixing channel gains, FIR filter coefficients, and basis filter shapes. This approximation data controls various components in the network. When the input HRTF data set is fed as input into the network, then the output of the network is an output approximated HRTF data set. The network iteratively fine tunes the approximation data until the output approximated HRTF data set sufficiently matches the input HRTF data set. After the approximation data is sufficiently tuned, the approximation data is later used by the network to render an audio signal.

  • Patent number: 12189388
    Abstract: Systems and methods for multiple inertial measurement unit sensor fusion using machine learning are provided herein. In certain embodiments, a system includes inertial sensors that produce inertial measurements, a memory unit that stores a fusion model produced by at least one machine learning algorithm, and a processor that receives inertial measurements, where the processor applies the fusion model to the inertial measurements. The fusion model directs the processor to extract features from the inertial measurements, and to select inertial measurements based on a sensor in the plurality of inertial sensors that produced the inertial measurements. Also, the fusion model directs the processor to apply weights to the selected inertial measurements based on the extracted features, to apply compensation coefficients to the selected inertial measurements, and to fuse the selected inertial measurements into an inertial navigation solution.

  • Patent number: 12146288
    Abstract: A coupler for securing an attachment to an earth working machine. The coupler Includes a coupler body that presents a receptacle having a capture region. A pin of an attachment can move into and out of the capture region. A retainer can capture the pin in the capture region but the retainer can be moved by a hydraulically driven driver to a position to allow release of the pin from the capture region. A trigger that the pin will strike when the pin moves into or out of the capture region, decouples the driver from the retainer and the retainer is then allowed to be biased back to its retaining position by a spring.

  • Patent number: 11997113
    Abstract: A traffic manager module of a cyber threat defense platform that can differentiate between data flows to a client device. A registration module can register a connection between devices within a client network to transmit a series of data packets. A classifier module can execute a comparison of features of the connection to a set of interest criteria to determine an interest level for the cyber threat defense platform in the connection. The classifier module can apply an interest classifier describing the interest level to the connection based on the comparison. A deep packet inspection engine can examine the data packets of the connection for cyber threats if the interest classifier indicates interest. A diverter can shunt the data packets of the connection away from the deep packet inspection engine if the interest classifier indicates no interest.
