  • Patent number: 12361349
    Abstract: A specialized resource computation service engine electronically and automatically provides, in a timely and efficient manner, accurate and reliable tracking of mobile employees across domains and correctly apportions, calculates, and remits selected resources to those domains for employee compensation (including non-cash compensation) earned over a period of time according to the various different rules in various different domains. The system aggregates data indicative of different geographical locations and durations spent in the geographical locations by an employee over a time period, apportions respective amounts of time to each domain based on the aggregated data and computes, for the employee, a respective selected resource for each domain based on the respective amounts of time apportioned to each domain.

  • Publication number: 20250190560
    Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable systems to leverage publisher profile and reputation to detect malware and block malicious actors. This is accomplished by obtaining a description of a software application that is pending release from the publisher. The description defines the nominal functionality of the software application such as expected program behaviors and device driver accesses. The system then catalogues the actual functionality of the software application by analyzing the program code implementing the software application. Accordingly, the generative model can detect inconsistencies between the actual functionality and the nominal functionality. In response, the generative model can initiate an interaction with the publisher to resolve the inconsistency. The publisher can respond with a justification of the inconsistency which is evaluated by the generative model in accordance with a reputation score associated with the publisher.

  • Publication number: 20250150052
    Abstract: A flexible multi-path RF adaptive tuning network switch architecture that counteracts impedance mismatch conditions arising from various combinations of coupled RF band filters, particularly in a Carrier Aggregation-based (CA) radio system. In one version, a digitally-controlled tunable matching network is coupled to a multi-path RF switch in order to provide adaptive impedance matching for various combinations of RF band filters. Optionally, some or all RF band filters include an associated digitally-controlled filter pre-match network to further improve impedance matching. In a second version, some or all RF band filters coupled to a multi-path RF switch include a digitally-controlled phase matching network to provide necessary per-band impedance matching. Optionally, a digitally-controlled tunable matching network may be included on the common port of the multi-path RF switch to provide additional impedance matching capability.
