  • Patent number: 11954203
    Abstract: Methods and devices for determining whether a mobile device has been compromised. The mobile device has a managed portion of memory and an unmanaged portion of memory, a managed profile and an unmanaged profile, and the managed profile includes files stored in the managed portion of memory and the unmanaged profile includes files stored in the unmanaged portion of memory. The managed profile is governed by a device policy set by a remote administrator. File tree structure information for the unmanaged profile of the mobile device is obtained that details at least a portion of a tree-based structure of folders and files in the unmanaged portion of memory. It is determined from the file tree structure information that the mobile device has been compromised and, based on that determination, an action is taken.

  • Publication number: 20240088958
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device (e.g., station (STA), access point (AP)) may transmit to a second wireless device during a service period, an initiating frame using a transmit beam that is based on a first beam training procedure performed between the devices prior to the service period. The first wireless device may perform a second beam training procedure during the service period based on an absence of a response frame from the second wireless device, based on an indication within the response frame received from the second wireless device, or based on identification of a change in a wireless channel relative to a previous beam training interval or previous service period. The first wireless device may then communicate one or more messages with the second wireless device using one or more beams that are based on the second beam training procedure.

  • Patent number: 11912767
    Abstract: The present invention provides multispecific antibodies that bind to EGFR and CD28 (EGFR×CD28) as well as anti-EGFR antibodies. Such antibodies may be combined with a further therapeutic agent such as an anti-PD1 antibody. Methods for treating cancers (e.g., EGFR-expressing cancer) by administering the antibodies (e.g., and combinations thereof with anti-PD1) are also provided. The EGFR×CD28 antibodies of the present invention embody a tumor-targeted immunotherapeutic modality combined with PD-1 inhibition. These bispecific antibodies bind a tumor-specific antigen (TSA) (EGFR) with one arm and the co-stimulatory receptor, CD28, on T-cells with the other arm. Combination therapy with PD-1 inhibitors specifically potentiated intra-tumoral T cell activation, promoting an effector memory-like T cell phenotype without systemic cytokine secretion in a variety of syngeneic and human tumor xenograft models.

  • Patent number: 11913597
    Abstract: A product-display system for displaying and securing a retail product. The system may include a retainer having a retainer bracket and a retainer body coupled to the retainer bracket. A retaining cable may be coupled to the retainer body at an opening in the retainer body. A fastener that may be unfastened to release the product from the retainer may only be accessed through the opening of the retainer body such that when the retaining cable is coupled to the opening, no fasteners of the retainer may be visible or accessible. The system may also include a display stem for holding the retainer and product. The display stem may include a recess for receiving at least a portion of the retainer body. The retaining cable may extend through the display stem and may simultaneously transmit power and data to a displayed product. The retainer may be returned to and held on top of the display stem using a retaining cable.

  • Publication number: 20210304628
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically creating foreign language learning curricula are presented. When an input videos is received, the audio track is denoised, and then segmented according to the sentences voiced in the audio track. The sentences are transcribed and the words of the transcriptions are scored. Based on the aggregated scores, the video is deemed to be a positive or negative example for foreign language learning. The video and the transcripts of the sentence are made into instructional materials. Words in the transcripts can be tagged to indicate words that a learner of another native tongue might tend to make.

  • Patent number: 11081102
    Abstract: Systems and methods for scoring spoken Chinese are provided. In an exemplary method, a user reads a written transcript and the user's voice is recorded. Characters of the transcript are then represented as pinyins with tone markings. The voice recording is sectioned into individual phonemes that are aligned with the phonemes of the pinyins. For each character of the transcript, a tone is determined for the phonemes in the voice recording corresponding to that character. That tone is scored as correct or incorrect by comparison to the tone marking associated with the pinyins for that character. The pronunciation of each phoneme of the voice recording is also scored relative to the corresponding phonemes of the pinyins of the characters of the transcript. Further scores for words and sentences can be developed from the tone and pronunciation scores and provided to the user with feedback.

  • Patent number: 10809129
    Abstract: A computer-implemented intelligent alignment method for a color sensing device (12) which initially obtains a raw sense value measured by the color sensing device and converts the raw sense value to a tristimulus value (S401). The color sensing device may be calibrated using a known set of colors (S402). Raw readings received from the color sensing device may be mapped to known tristimulus values (S403), and mapped values may be converted to a standard reference illuminant color space (S404). A client-server system may be provided in which a color sensing device and one or more servers collectively execute operations according to the present disclosure.

  • Patent number: 10746599
    Abstract: An optical detector is provided with multiple light sources having distinct spectral characteristics, which are controlled on/off across a range of lighting intensity combinations. A measurement sensor receives radiated light that is reflected from a target surface via confined optical channels, and generates representative output signals. A local controller or a remote computing device receives the output signals or corresponding messages from the optical detector, and generates a low resolution spectral data set based on the signals for each of the lighting intensity combinations. The low resolution spectral data set is interpolated based on machine learning algorithms trained with high resolution data from a reference device to generate a high resolution spectral data set associated with the target surface.
