Abstract: Techniques for protecting a sensor from an obstruction such as liquid are discussed herein. For instance, a sensor cover assembly can include a cover to protect a sensor from precipitation, contaminants, or other obstructions. The cover of the sensor cover assembly can be configured to direct an obstruction (e.g., a liquid) away from a lens of the sensor (e.g., a ring lens of a lidar sensor) to reduce obstructions to a field of view of the sensor. The cover can include one or more channels (e.g., a trough, a downspout, a gutter, etc.) or shapes (e.g., a curved surface, a sloped surface, a convex surface, etc.) to divert the obstruction away from the lens of the sensor.

Abstract: A mobile device performs authentication with blinded tokens and swaps its international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) value. For authentication with blinded tokens, the mobile device generates a blinded token and provides it to a server to encrypt. To redeem the token, the mobile device unblinds the encrypted blinded token and provides it to the server along with a public key. To complete authentication, the mobile device receives, from the server, a nonce encrypted with the public key and decrypts the nonce with a private key. For swapping its IMSI value, the mobile device retrieves two eSIM profiles with corresponding IMSI values and configures the first of the two profiles as active. In response to a trigger, the mobile device changes the active profile from the first to the second, swaps the first IMSI value with a new IMSI value, and changes the active profile back to the first profile.

Abstract: A method for time-series forecasting for time-series data with a periodic behavior larger than a respective sampling rate is disclosed. The method includes selecting candidate time lag values from measured time-series data, determining first training data based on time-series data and the candidate time lag values, and training of a first machine-learning system, thereby determining a subset of the set of the first training data. The method further includes building second training data, training of a second machine-learning system for time-series predictions when using measured sampled time-series data as input. A first performance indicator value is indicative of a prediction performance of the first time-series machine-learning model. The method further includes determining that an element of the set of second training data is significant for the training of the first time-series machine-learning model and determining that the set of second training data is complete.
