Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter-based serial receiver configured to tune analog equalization settings for link training is described. An analog signal from a transmitter is received and the receiver applies initial analog equalization settings. The receiver then converts the equalized analog signal into a digital signal. The receiver then measures frequency content of the analog signal and saturation at the analog-to-digital converter and determines updated analog equalization settings.

Abstract: A method and system for vetting items being shipped across national boundaries using a new technology enabling an automated system is provided. The automated system screens items for shipping through customs and validating the items for shipment according to customs rules and regulations. The system identifies and applies the appropriate rules for customs and other responsible agencies pertaining to the eligibility of any item being imported into a particular country. The present invention utilizes an unconventional combination of image recognition technology, machine learning algorithms, and rule engine algorithms to categorize, identify, and apply the appropriate rules to each and every item being considered for importation to another country.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that enable robust, universal authentication and network access control capabilities for networks having a variety of computing device types and end users that access and operate on the network. The systems permit verification of end user identity, confirmation that computing devices have sufficient resources to reliably operate on the network, and configuration of computing devices with required software applications. The systems and methods further enable real-time, intelligent monitoring of the tasks and functions performed by system end users. The systems provide an immersive experience that allows end users to teleport into the environment of other end users, including viewing another end user's computer desktop, listening to ongoing telephone conversations, viewing and analyzing contemporaneous images or video of an end user and the end user's work environment, and interacting with the end user to provide precision coaching and assistance.

Abstract: A method and apparatus provides a customs review system for building a customs approval database and system suitable for reviewing and verifying values and/or commodities of product parcels passing through customs. The customs review system can receive and store a stock keeping unit (SKU) for a product parcel in the customs approval database. The customs review system can also receive a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) related to the SKU and automatically associate the SKU with the URL in the customs approval database. In response to associating the SKU and the URL, the customs review system can make the product parcel as pre-approved or rejected for shipment to customs. The customs review system can search the customs approval database for the SKU of the product parcel and validate or invalid the product parcel being submitted for shipment and importation based on the search.

Abstract: A method for receiver state estimation includes communicating, from a first communications device to a second communications device, a first plurality of wake-up frames; receiving, at the first communications device from the second communications device, an indication of a received wake-up frame of the communicated first plurality of wake-up frames; determining, by the first communications device, a time at which the second communications device is in a ready state based on the received indication; subsequently communicating, from the first communications device to the second communications device, a second plurality of wake-up frames. The first plurality is greater than the second plurality, the reduction in number from the first plurality to the second plurality being based on the determined time at which the second communications device is in a ready state.
