  • Publication number: 20260155074
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices that support a dynamic screen refresh rate are described. An electronic device may dynamically (e.g., autonomously, while operating) adjust the rate at which a screen is refreshed, such as to balance considerations such as user experience and power consumption by the electronic device. For example, the electronic device may use an increased refresh rate when executing applications for which user experience is enhanced by a higher refresh rate and may use a decreased refresh rate when executing other applications. As another example, the electronic device may use different refresh rates while executing different portions of the same application, as some aspects of an application (e.g., more intense portions of a video game) may benefit more than others from a higher refresh rate. The electronic device may also account of rother factors, such as battery level, when setting or adjusting the refresh rate of the screen.

  • Publication number: 20260119644
    Abstract: There is no unified, comprehensive system for the governance of artificial intelligence (AI) agents. Accordingly, disclosed embodiments register a plurality of AI agents, potentially from disparate sources, into a centralized registry. Prior to activation, each AI agent is associated with a governance policy. After activation, each AI agent is monitored in real time, during execution, to determine whether or not the AI agent remains compliant with the associated governance policy. When an AI agent becomes non-compliant with the associated governance policy, corrective action may be taken, and the AI agent may be labeled as untrusted. The corrective action may comprise alerting a user, modifying the AI agent, adjusting an amount of each of one or more computational resources that is allocated to the AI agent, modifying an access of the AI agent to one or more systems, adjusting a communication control of the AI agent, and/or the like.

  • Publication number: 20250350943
    Abstract: An authentication request is received from a User Premises Equipment (UPE). The authentication request is responsive to expiration of a prior authentication certificate provided to the UPE. The authentication request comprises a set of metadata information elements. A subset of metadata information elements are selected from the set, comprising a static element descriptive of a UPE establishment event, and environmental elements indicative of a physical environment of the UPE. The static element is validated based on validation information. A trust score for the UPE is generated based on a comparison between the environmental elements and a UPE environmental profile descriptive of a known physical environment of a geographic area associated with the UPE. An authentication certificate is provided to the UPE based on the trust score being greater than a threshold trust score.
