Abstract: A phased antenna array is operable to generate a radio-frequency beam having a first beam angle. A converging lens adjusts the beam generated by the phased antenna array to output a first adjusted beam. A diverging lens adjusts the first adjusted beam to output a second adjusted beam having a second beam angle. The converging lens and the diverging lens are positioned relative to the phased antenna array such that the second beam angle is greater than the first beam angle, such that a scan range of the phased antenna array is increased.

Abstract: A computing platform may generate a graphical user interface. The computing platform may embed, into the graphical user interface, steganography, which may include information corresponding to the graphical user interface that is not displayed on the graphical user interface. The computing platform may receive, from a user device of a user, an interface access request and user access credentials. The computing platform may identify, based on the user access credentials, access permissions of the user, which may define portions of the steganography to which the user has access. The computing platform may record, in a change log, interactions of the user with the graphical user interface. The computing platform may compare the interactions in the change log with the access permissions to identify whether or not unauthorized access is detected. Based on detecting the unauthorized access, the computing platform may initiate security actions for the graphical user interface.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for low latency channel access. Some aspects more specifically relate to preemption of existing transmission opportunities (TXOPs) such that devices with low latency traffic to transmit may access the communication medium to transmit low latency traffic. Short physical layer protocol data units (PPDUs) may be used within TXOPs with interframe spaces between the PPDUs such that a device with low latency traffic may transmit a preemption indication during the interframe space. A first wireless communication device may identify low latency traffic during a first PPDU of a TXOP assigned to a second wireless communication device. The first wireless communication device may transmit a preemption indication in an interframe space that indicates that a subsequent scheduled PPDU in the TXOP will be preempted in order for the first wireless communication device to transmit a PPDU to convey the low latency traffic.

Abstract: A computing platform may train, using historical information access pattern information, a machine learning model to identify unauthorized information access patterns. The computing platform may obscure internal traffic pattern information, and monitor access of the obscured internal traffic pattern information. The computing platform may generate, by inputting information of the access into the machine learning model, a user evaluation output, and may compare the user evaluation output to a first user evaluation threshold. Based on identifying that the user evaluation output meets or exceeds the first user evaluation threshold, the computing platform may modify traffic routing rules corresponding to the user, which may cause activity by the user to be routed to a secure sandbox for further analysis.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to using machine-learning models to determine graduated levels of access to secured data for remote devices. In some embodiments, a computing platform may establish a connection with a mobile device. Subsequently, based on establishing the connection, the platform may identify initial device information, device features, and user information. The platform may input the identified information into an authentication model to compute a baseline authentication score and then may identify an initial level of access to secured resources for the mobile device. Thereafter, the platform may receive from the mobile device, AR/VR device information captured by the mobile device. The platform may input the AR/VR device information into the authentication model to compute an augmented authentication score. Based on the augmented score, the platform may identify an augmented level of access to secured resources for the mobile device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for determining instances of parity drift in target cloud computing systems as well as determining when instances of parity drift require addressing. For example, in various implementations, a cloud parity drift detection system compiles information about services, configurations, versions, etc. along with additional data from a reference cloud system into a job package and provides the job package to one or more target cloud computing systems. The cloud parity drift detection system can then utilize the job package to compare corresponding information on the reference cloud system to a target data set of the target cloud system to determine instances of parity drift at the target cloud system. Additionally, the cloud parity drift detection system can determine and act when instances of parity drift require addressing.

Abstract: A suture gripping device is described. The device includes a body formed from a flat piece of shape-memory material. The body has at least one slot extending from an edge of the body towards a medial position of the body and a first folding plane for folding a first portion of the body away from a second portion of the body to provide a bent configuration. The bent configuration is converted to a flat configuration when the temperature of the device is raised above the transition temperature of the shape-memory material. This conversion generates a gripping force against the suture when the suture is held in the slot.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for predicting demographics about authors of social media. A dataset relates features from social media messages to known demographic information about authors of the social media messages. The social media messages and known demographics may be retrieved from different social media services. Adjustable weights are associated with alternative demographic values for the features. The dataset is used to predict unknown demographics of users based on the adjustable weights associated with the alternative demographic values for extracted features from social media messages. A confidence level may be output for a predicted demographic that corresponds to a difference between a sum of weights associated with the predicted value and another demographic value. The predicted demographic value may be output when the confidence level exceeds a threshold. The weights may be updated when the confidence level is below the threshold even when the prediction is correct.
