Abstract: The disclosure describes techniques that enable detection of memory leaks of software executing on devices within a computer network. An example network device includes memory and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry monitors a usage of the memory by a software component operating within the network device. The processing circuitry periodically determines a memory growth pattern score for the software component based on the usage of the memory. The processing circuitry also predicts whether the user-level process is experiencing a memory leak based on the memory growth pattern score. The processing circuitry applies confirmation criteria to current memory usage of the software component to confirm that the software component is experiencing the memory leak. When the software component is experiencing the memory leak, the processing circuitry generates an alert.

Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating a user using a voice activated device. The method includes receiving first data representing a user identifier corresponding to a user and second data representing a device identifier corresponding to the voice activated device. The method further includes determining user metadata corresponding to the user identifier and a device audio type corresponding to the device identifier. The method also includes calculating a risk score based on the user metadata. The method further includes calculating a length of spoken voice utterance based on the calculated risk score. The method also includes receiving and processing third data representing a spoken voice utterance having the calculated length corresponding to the user using the voice activated device. The method further includes validating the user in response to determining that the processed third data substantially matches the voiceprint associated with the user.

Abstract: A computerized method is provided for digitally signing a digital document related to a transaction request from a customer. The method includes receiving, by a computing device, data related to the transaction request from the customer via a web-based interface. Receipt of the transaction data initiates a request session. The method also includes recording during the request session a voice signature sample from the customer via the web-based user interface and verifying the customer for the transaction request by comparing the voice signature sample with a stored voice print of the customer. Further, a consolidated record for the transaction request is generated that includes the transaction data and the transaction result. The digital document is populated with the transaction data if the customer is verified, where the digital document is treated as being digitally signed by the customer.

Abstract: A smart lock system that includes a smart lock that electronically locks and unlocks a door and a server that outputs a command to the smart lock to lock or unlock the door via the internet in response to an instruction received via the internet from a user device. The user device may also (simultaneously) directly transmit an instruction to the smart lock (e.g., Bluetooth). The user device may also directly transmit an instruction to the smart lock to unlock the door in response to a determination that the user device is within a predefined geofenced region around the smart lock. The smart lock may also include a keypad. The smart lock may also include a camera that captures images and output those images to the server for transmittal to the user device. The smart may also include a motion sensor and capture images in response to detected motion.

Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating a user using an interactive voice response application. The method includes receiving data representing a spoken voice utterance corresponding to a user of an interactive voice response application. The method further includes processing the data representing the spoken voice utterance based on a length and a quality of the spoken voice utterance. The method also includes comparing the processed data representing the spoken voice utterance and a voiceprint associated with the user. The method further includes generating a security token in response to determining that the processed data representing the spoken voice utterance substantially matches the voiceprint associated with the user. The method also includes receiving the security token from the interactive voice application and validating the security token corresponding to the user in response to determining that the security token matches a security token generated by a server computing device.

Abstract: The embodiments disclosed herein pertain to improved methods and apparatus for etching a semiconductor substrate. A plasma grid assembly is positioned in a reaction chamber to divide the chamber into upper and lower sub-chambers. The plasma grid assembly may include one or more plasma grids having slots of a particular aspect ratio, which allow certain species to pass through from the upper sub-chamber to the lower sub-chamber. Where multiple plasma grids are used, one or more of the grids may be movable, allowing for tenability of the plasma conditions in at least the lower sub-chamber. In some cases, an electron-ion plasma is generated in the upper sub-chamber. Electrons that make it through the grid to the lower sub-chamber are cooled as they pass through. In some cases, this results in an ion-ion plasma in the lower sub-chamber.

Abstract: A trusted computing environment may be dynamically certified by providing a selectable boot option that controls running a loadable boot image in one of a test mode and a production mode. The test mode may automate running a processing standard validation test to obtain a processing standard validation test result. Responsive to running the processing standard validation test with a successful test result, a record indicating the successful test result and the loadable boot image is stored within the trusted computing environment, utilizing a certification process. Responsive to running the production mode, the trusted computing environment and the loadable boot image may be loaded.
