Abstract: A filter bank multicarrier communication system is proposed. The system adopts the real-valued discrete Hartley transform for both multicarrier modulation and demodulation, rather than the complex-valued inverse discrete Fourier transform for multicarrier modulation and the discrete Fourier transform for multicarrier demodulation in conventional filter bank multicarrier schemes, so as to reduce implementation complexity and to enhance system performance.

Abstract: A method includes extracting packet information of a data packet to be transmitted through a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection.

Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for assessing riskiness of a domain are provided. For example, a content request is received from a content provider service that hosts a website associated with a domain. The content request is evaluated to identify request features. Feature scores are assigned to the request features using labeled feature data. The feature scores are aggregated to generate a content request risk score corresponding to a riskiness of the content request corresponding to fraud, such as domain spoofing. The content request risk score along with other content request risk scores of content requests associated with the content provider service are aggregated to create a content provider risk score corresponding to a riskiness of the content provider service, such as a risk of the domain being fraudulent. The content provider risk score is used to either block or process the content request.

Abstract: A stereoscopic visualization system using shape from shading algorithm is an image conversion device connected between a monoscopic endoscope and a 3D monitor. The system applies the algorithm which generates a depth map for a 2D image of video frames. The algorithm first calculates a direction of a light source for the 2D image. Based upon the information of light distribution and shading for the 2D image, the depth map is generated. The depth map is used to calculate another view of the original 2D image by depth image based rendering algorithm in generation of stereoscopic images. After the new view is rendered, the stereoscopic visualization system also needs to convert the display format of the stereoscopic images for different kinds of 3D displays. Based on this method, it can replace the whole monoscopic endoscope with a stereo-endoscope system and no modification is required for the monoscopic endoscope.

Abstract: Services often utilize scoring techniques to distinguish between user requests that comply with a usage policy of the service from those that represent a misuse of the service. Users who endeavor to misuse the service engages in probing by submitting a variety of requests to the service until one such request exhibiting a score that is within a score threshold, and then patterning further requests that misuse the service upon the successful request. Instead, when a first request from a user is identified that violates the score threshold, a score offset is selected. The scores of second and future requests by the user are adjusted by the score offset, indicating increased suspicion of the user's requests, while allowing legitimate requests that fulfill the score threshold by a larger margin. Additionally, absent further misuse, the score offset decays over time to restore trust incrementally in the legitimacy of the user's requests.
