  • Patent number: 11520871
    Abstract: In an approach to augmenting authentication methods using a face covering, one or more computer processors receive an image of a user wearing a face covering, where a portion of the face of the user is visible in the image, and the face covering covers another portion of the face of the user in the image. One or more computer processors detect an identifier operably coupled with the face covering. One or more computer processors determine whether the first portion of the face of the user is associated with the identifier. In response to determining the first portion of the face of the user is not associated with the identifier, one or more computer processors receive an alternate authentication. One or more computer processors authenticate the user.

  • Patent number: 11500834
    Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method. A change event record of a change history dataset is processed by determining if the change event record matches any field matching records. The change event record matches a particular field matching record if it is determined that a change event record field identifier matches a field identifier of the particular field matching record and a new value associated with the change event record matches a comparison variable of the particular field matching record. In response to determining that the change event record matches a single field matching record, the change event record is associated with a unique field identifier of the single field matching record in a data store.

  • Publication number: 20220322004
    Abstract: Methods for performing dynamic range compression (DRC) on audio in a manner intended to produce output audio for playback by systems or devices with limited power handling capabilities and preferably also to reduce or prevent undesirable artifacts (e.g., pumping and/or breathing) in the output audio. Some embodiments perform the DRC so as to maximize average loudness (while preventing loss of quieter elements) during playback, and also to reduce or prevent distortion. Other aspects are systems or devices configured to perform embodiments of the method. In some embodiments, reduced DRC is applied when average loudness of the input audio approaches (or matches or exceeds) a target (e.g., a knee point for DRC, or a signal level near to a maximum playback level of the intended playback system), since such input audio is assumed to have already been compressed, and otherwise applying full DRC to the input audio.

  • Publication number: 20220105831
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reducing the overall power consumption of a parked vehicle, whereby said vehicle comprises a DC power network including two batteries connected in series and an equalizer circuit, whereby the equalizer circuit includes a DC/DC converter for converting an input voltage corresponding to the sum of the voltages of the two batteries into an output voltage to be applied to a first battery of the two batteries. The method consists in i) activating the DC/DC converter only when the State of Charge (SoC) of the first battery reaches a first level below the State of Charge (SoC) of the second battery; and u) keeping the DC/DC converter active until the State of Charge (SoC) of the first battery reaches a second level above the State of Charge (SoC) of the second battery.
