Abstract: Systems and techniques for identification of fonts include receiving a selection of an area of an image including text, where the selection is received from within an application. The selected area of the image is input to a font matching module within the application. The font matching module identifies one or more fonts similar to the text in the selected area using a convolutional neural network. The one or more fonts similar to the text are displayed within the application and the selection and use of the one or more fonts is enabled within the application.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed at providing a font similarity preview for non-resident fonts. In one embodiment, a font is selected on a computing device. In response to the selection of the font, a pre-computed font list is checked to determine what fonts are similar to the selected font. In response to a determination that similar fonts are not local to the computing device, a non-resident font list is sent to a font vendor. The font vendor sends back previews of the non-resident fonts based on entitlement information of a user. Further, a full non-resident font can be synced to the computing device. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed at providing a font similarity system. In one embodiment, a new font is detected on a computing device. In response to the detection of the new font, a pre-computed font list is checked to determine whether the new font is included therein. The pre-computed font list including feature representations, generated independently of the computing device, for corresponding fonts. In response to a determination that the new font is absent from the pre-computed font list, a feature representation for the new font is generated. The generated feature representation capable of being utilized for a similarity analysis of the new font. The feature representation is then stored in a supplemental font list to enable identification of one or more fonts installed on the computing device that are similar to the new font. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: In various embodiments, methods and systems, for automatically generating guides, are provided. A user can generate guides based on content zones of a wireframe layout or visual element layout. A selection of a content zone having a shape is received. A selection of a guide creation action to generate a grid structure encompassing the shape of the content zone is received. A determination of a boundary set for the shape is made. The boundary set includes a top boundary, a bottom boundary, a left boundary, and a right boundary. The boundary set is based on a data (e.g., vector, pixel, text) perimeter of the shape. The grid structure is automatically generated based on the shape. The grid structure comprises a top horizontal guide, a bottom horizontal guide, a left vertical guide, and right vertical guide. The grid structure is located adjacent to portions of the boundary set of the shape.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to restoring digital image noise lost in a blur process. In one embodiment, a noise reduction factor is calculated for each pixel of the digital image that has had a blur applied thereto. The noise reduction factor for a respective pixel is indicative of an estimated reduction in noise resulting from an amount of blur applied to the respective pixel. A noise compensation value can then be determined for each of the pixels, based on the noise reduction factor calculated for each of the pixels and a target noise level for the digital image as a whole. Once the noise compensation value is determined, noise can be applied to each of the plurality of pixels in accordance with the determined noise compensation value. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention describe systems and methods for malicious software detection and analysis. A binary executable comprising obfuscated malware on a host device may be received, and incident data indicating a time when the binary executable was received and identifying processes operating on the host device may be recorded. The binary executable is analyzed via a scalable plurality of execution environments, including one or more non-virtual execution environments and one or more virtual execution environments, to generate runtime data and deobfuscation data attributable to the binary executable. At least some of the runtime data and deobfuscation data attributable to the binary executable is stored in a shared database, while at least some of the incident data is stored in a private, non-shared database.

Abstract: An unknown named territory encloses a known physical target location that is specified by a target longitude and a target latitude. An operation is performed to identify a number of rectangular-shaped terrestrial areas that each enclose both the target longitude and the target latitude. Each of the identified rectangular-shaped terrestrial areas respectively encloses a polygonal-shaped named territory. Each polygonal-shaped named territory is defined by a respective circumscribing set of contiguously positioned vectors. An operation is performed to evaluate the circumscribing sets of contiguously positioned vectors of the polygonal-shaped named territories to determine if a given polygonal-shaped named territory includes both the target longitude and the target latitude. When both the target longitude and the target latitude are found to reside within a given polygonal-shaped named territory, the identity of the given polygonal-shaped named territory is conveyed.

Abstract: Monitoring data is received from a remote device and represents a current status value of a monitored condition at the remote device. The monitored condition is characterized by a current state that can be any one of a number of possible states. A determination is made as to whether the current status value of the monitored condition as indicated by the received data satisfies a hysteresis criterion associated with the current state of the monitored condition. If the current status value of the monitored condition satisfies the hysteresis criterion, then a determination is made as to whether the hysteresis criterion has been continuously satisfied for a specified persistence period. If the hysteresis criterion has been continuously satisfied for the specified persistence period, then the current state of the monitored condition is changed to reflect the current status value of the monitored condition, and the changed current state is recorded.

Abstract: A first hash result is generated at a client system in accordance with hash input parameters known to the client system. A second hash result is generated at a server system in accordance with hash input parameters known to the server system. Each of the first hash result and the second hash result is truncated in a same manner. The truncated first hash result is transmitted from the client system to the server system. The truncated first hash result as transmitted to the server system is compared with the truncated second hash result generated at the server system. Equality between the truncated first hash result as transmitted to the server system and the truncated second hash result generated at the server system authenticates the client system to the server system.
