Abstract: The disclosed system enables a wideband codec audio call between a mobile device and a wireless telecommunication network support center by ensuring that multiple components of the network participating in the call and multiple legs that make up the call all communicate using the same wideband codec. A leg among the multiple legs is a connection between two components participating in the call. While all the legs making up the call between the caller and the callee have to be wideband, the system can enable any branching legs in the call, for example, those directed to a third party, to be either wideband or narrowband.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for utilizing machine learning models to simulate and predict proactive actions in digital modeling. Data is collected from one or more sensors in a physical environment. A digital model depicting physical machinery in the physical environment is generated based on the sensor data. One or more operations of the physical machinery is simulated based on the digital model and the sensor data. Thermal conditions of the physical environment is predicted, using a machine learning (ML) model, based on the simulating of the operations and the sensor data. A recommendation comprising one or more proactive actions to mitigate potential thermal issues is generated, based on the predicted thermal conditions. The predicted thermal conditions, the identified potential thermal issues, and the one or more proactive actions are projected into the digital model via an augmented-reality (AR) display.

Abstract: Presented herein are system and methods for controlling access to services for processing requests. A server maintains rule sets defined for risk levels to control access to second services. Each of the risk levels defines a respective group of rule sets from the rule sets to apply. The server receives a request including authentication information of a transaction type for an end user device to access a second service. The server determines risk parameters and a challenge threshold. The server identifies a risk level for the request based on the risk parameters. The server selects a group of rule sets to apply for the identified risk level and applies the group of rule sets to the authentication information to perform at least one of a denial, allowance, or challenge of the request of the transaction type using the challenge threshold, for the end user device to access the second service.
