Abstract: A first UE can receive a request to communicate from a second UE. The first UE and the second UE can exchange a first cryptographic key and a second cryptographic key associated with the first and the second UE, respectively. The first UE can receive an encrypted unique identifier associated with the second UE, where the unique identifier identifies a second wireless telecommunication network serving the second UE. The first UE can authenticate the second UE by sending the encrypted unique identifier to a first wireless telecommunication network and sending a request to confirm that the unique identifier is valid. The first UE can receive, from the first wireless telecommunication network, a confirmation that the unique identifier is valid. Upon receiving the confirmation, the first UE can engage in a communication with the second UE.

Abstract: A request for database results is received from a query coordinator at a database instance of a distributed database. The request includes a query execution instruction of a query plan and an indication of override instructions corresponding to the query execution instruction. The override instructions are such that they do not modify the query plan. The database instance includes the override instructions in a set of high-level language query instructions. The database instance performs just-in-time compiling of the set of high-level language query instructions to obtain a machine language query for performing the query execution instruction of the query plan. The database instance executes the machine language query to obtain the database results. The database instance then transmits the database results to the query coordinator.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and computer-implemented method for character recognition in a payment card. The method includes receiving an image of a payment card and one or more details associated with the payment card. Further, a derivative of the image is determined based on the one or more details and a horizontal sum of pixel values is determined for a plurality of rows in the image. Furthermore, one or more Regions of Interest (ROIs) are identified in the image by comparing the horizontal sum of pixel values with a predefined first threshold. Subsequently, one or more characters in the one or more ROIs are extracted using one or more peak values in a histogram of the one or more ROIs. Finally, each of the one or more characters extracted from the one or more ROIs is recognized using a trained Artificial Intelligence technique.

Abstract: A method and system for improving real-time false positive reduction, in which first and second sensor data of a potential object in a common portion of an environment of a motor vehicle are compared. Upon determining that there is a discrepancy in the first and second sensor data in relation to the object, an analysis by synthesis is performed on the first sensor data. If the analysis results in a match, then the first sensor data are validated and can be used for generating a control signal for an autonomous vehicle. If the analysis results in a mismatch, the first sensor data are excluded from generating the control signal. In case of no discrepancy between the first and second sensor data, both are used in generating the control signal.
