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 computer product and methodology is contemplated for adaptively serving hold content during an automated communication session. This includes training a machine learning model with a set of training data that includes a feature of hold duration times during historical automated communication sessions. In response to encountering a computer transaction request during a new automated communication session, a hold time duration is predicted for executing the computer transaction request based on obtaining an inference from the machine learning model. Whether to serve hold content in response to the computer transaction request is determined, based on a comparison of the predicted hold time duration to a predetermined threshold time interval.

Abstract: An apparatus can include a coupler for coupling a robotic arm to a surgical table having a table top on which a patient can be disposed.

The first portion may comprise a locking mechanism having one or more stages to constrain movement of the second portion relative to the first portion in six degrees of freedom. The coupler can thus provide secure coupling of the robotic arm to the surgical table.
