Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a map tool displaying a three-dimensional view of a map based on a three-dimensional model of the surrounding environment. The three-dimensional map view of a map may be based on a model constructed from multiple data sets, where the multiple data sets include mapping information for an overlapping area of the map displayed in the map view. For example, one data set may include two-dimensional data including object footprints, where the object footprints may be extruded into a three-dimensional object based on data from a data set composed of three-dimensional data. In this example, the three-dimensional data may include height information that corresponds to the two-dimensional object, where the height may be obtained by correlating the location of the two-dimensional object within the three-dimensional data.

Abstract: A server transmits to a third-party application a request for a resource that is received from a client. The server receives an authentication request from the client device that has been generated by the third-party application. The server transmits an identity provider selection page to the client device that allows the client device to select an identity provider. The server causes the client device to transmit a second authentication request to a selected identity provider. The server receives an authentication response that was generated by the identity provider that includes the identity of the user. The server enforces access rule(s) including identity-based rule(s) and/or non-identity based rule(s). If the user is permitted to access the third-party application, the server causes an authentication response to be transmitted from the client device to the third-party application that indicates the user has successfully authenticated.

Abstract: An imaging device comprising a controller, a prover supply item and a verifier supply item, where the imaging device is configured to authenticate the prover supply item by: sending a challenge response from the prover supply item to the verifier supply item, and determining a status of the challenge response. When the verifier supply item determines that the received challenge response is a correct output of an algorithm when challenge data is input to the algorithm, the status is determined as verified. A supply item configured to be operable as a prover supply item when installed in an imaging device. The prover supply item is configured to receive an indication of an algorithm to be performed and receive challenge data, perform the algorithm using the challenge data as input to determine a challenge response, and send the challenge response to a verifier supply item.

Abstract: A method of determining trust in a supply item in an imaging device for verifying other supply items installed in the imaging device via an algorithm, wherein the imaging device has a plurality of installed supply items. The method comprises: sending challenge data and an indication of the algorithm to a candidate supply item, receiving a challenge response from the candidate supply item, and determining, by the controller, a status of the challenge response, the status being verified or unverified. When the controller determines that the received challenge response is a correct output of the algorithm when the challenge data is input to the algorithm, the status is determined as verified. Further, an imaging device configured to determine trust in a supply item installed in the imaging device for verifying other supply items installed in the imaging device via an algorithm.

Abstract: A method of authenticating a supply item in an imaging device, wherein the supply item is designated as a prover supply item, and a second supply item installed in the imaging device is designated as a verifier supply item. The method comprises: receiving a challenge response from the prover supply item and determining a status of the challenge response. When the verifier supply item determines that the received challenge response is a correct output of an algorithm when challenge data is input to the algorithm, the status is determined as verified. The verifier supply item is disclosed, configured to receive a challenge response from a prover supply item installed in the imaging device, and determine a status of the challenge response. When the verifier supply item determines that the received challenge response is a correct output of an algorithm, the status is determined as verified.

Abstract: A cloud-based security service that includes external evaluation for accessing a third-party application. The security service receives a request to access a third-party application from a client device. The security service enforces a set of one or more access policies configured for the third-party application including an external evaluation rule. As part of enforcing the external evaluation rule, the security service transmits an external evaluation request to an external endpoint defined in the external evaluation rule. The external evaluation request includes an identity of a user associated with the request. The security service receives the result of the external evaluation. If the external evaluation passed, the security service grants access to the third-party application based at least in part on its passing.

Abstract: A primary internet connection via a gateway or router located at a premises may be used to route internet traffic from devices located at the premises. A change in the primary internet connection, such as a loss or a degradation of the connection, may occur. Based on the change in the primary internet connection, metrics of alternative internet connections, such as cellular or hotspot connections, may be used to select one of the alternative internet connections. Internet traffic may be routed via the selected alternative internet connection until the primary internet connection is reestablished or improves.

Abstract: Current Wireless transmission volume is such that techniques to compress transmitted data is the object of ongoing technical enhancements. The Invention consists of methods of using rapid changes in signal voltage to convey additional data which may be used for Data Compression, Encryption, and other purposes. They include varying amounts of change referred to as Encode Amplitude (EA) and Baseline Modulation (BM) using a change down to baseline voltage.

Abstract: An actuator may be integrated into an optical element such as a liquid lens and configured to create spherical curvature as well as a variable cylinder radius and axis in a surface of the optical element. An example actuator may include a stack of electromechanical layers, and electrodes configured to apply an electric field independently across each of the electromechanical layers. Within the stack, an orientation of neighboring electromechanical layers may differ, e.g., stepwise, by at least approximately 10°.

Abstract: Determining authenticity of a component in an imaging device includes generating an analog signal as an authentication challenge to the component. The component then generates a response to the authentication challenge by converting the analog signal into one or more digital values and capturing a derivative of the one or more digital values as the response. Authenticity of the component is determined by comparing the response with an expected response.
