  • Patent number: 10827168
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for capturing radio frequency (RF) signal over the air, processing spectrum power data, and uploading data to a central data repository for analysis and reporting. Captured RF signals are filtered and amplified via a front-end module of a probe that includes a filter and a low noise amplifier (LNA). Output signals can be decoded into digital TV metadata and image captures via a TV tuner and spectrum power, and then analyzed via a software defined radio (SDR). Digital TV metadata and images, as well as SDR data, can be uploaded and collected at a server. The server processes collected spectrum data from SDR into spectrum reports. The server can also analyze collected digital TV metadata to identify with increased accuracy RF sources originating from transmitting TV facilities.

  • Publication number: 20200228293
    Abstract: Systems and methods for remotely resetting networked devices is disclosed. The system can comprise a primary network connection and a secondary network connection to provide communications redundancy. The system can also include physical connections between networked devices to enable devices to be reset regardless of the type of error. The method can include monitoring one or more parameters of a device to determine what type of error is occurring and what action to take. The system can enable a first computer (or other electronic device) to restart applications, adapters, and services on a second computer (or other electronic device). The system can also enable the first computer to reset or restart the second computer. The system can enable networked computers to monitor and restore operation to other computers on the same network without human intervention.

  • Publication number: 20200024889
    Abstract: An assembly that is configured to form a seal with a bottom of a closed door panel includes a holder, a threshold cap, and a biasing member. The holder defines a pivot axis and is configured to releasably couple to a substrate of a threshold. The threshold cap includes a sealing wall and a joint portion. The sealing wall is configured to form a seal with the bottom of the closed door. The joint portion is engaged with the holder to pivotally support the threshold cap about the pivot axis. The biasing member biases the sealing wall away from the holder towards a raised position.

  • Patent number: 10496363
    Abstract: A voice user interface (VUI) may be deployed for accessing data that are stored in databases of a telecommunications network. A voice command received at a voice interface device connected to a telecommunications network may be converted into a persistent data representation via a speech interpretation engine. The persistent data representation is sent to an intent mapping service that maps persistent data representations to intermediate command representations. In turn, a command interpreter of the telecommunications network may receive the intermediate command representation from the intent mapping service. The command interpreter may translate the intermediate command representation into a database function command via a command interpreter of the telecommunications network.

  • Patent number: 10491597
    Abstract: Techniques for enforcing data security in a cleanroom data processing environment are described herein. In one or more embodiments, a virtual private cloud environment stores a first set of data provided by a first user account and a second set of data provided by a second user account, where the first user account is associated with a first set of one or more security credentials and the second user account is associated with a second set of security credentials and where the first user account is prevented from accessing at least the second set of data and the second user account is prevented from accessing at least the first set of data. In response to receiving, from the first user account or the second user account, a request to destroy the virtual private cloud environment, at least the first set of data and the second set of data are deleted.

  • Publication number: 20190234360
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for adjustable fuel pressure module. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus for regulating fuel pressure comprises a body configured to mate to a fuel filter housing, a spring seat assembly configured to seal an opening in the fuel filter housing according to a force applied by a pressure regulating spring acting on the spring seat assembly, and a pressure regulating spring adjusting assembly mounted to the body, configured to constrain an adjustable length of the pressure regulating spring, wherein the spring is constrained between the spring seat assembly and the pressure regulating spring adjusting assembly. A force exerted upon the spring seat assembly by the pressure regulating spring corresponds to a desirable fuel pressure. The spring seat assembly is configured to unseal the opening in the fuel filter housing responsive to a fuel pressure greater than the desirable fuel pressure.

  • Patent number: 10334415
    Abstract: A voice user interface (VUI) may be deployed for controlling network components and devices of a telecommunications network. A voice command received at a voice interface device connected to a telecommunications network may be converted into a persistent data representation via a speech interpretation engine. The persistent data representation is sent to an intent mapping service that maps persistent data representations to intermediate command representations. In turn, a command interpreter of the telecommunications network may receive the intermediate command representation from the intent mapping service. The command interpreter may translate the intermediate command representation into an action command for performing a task with respect to network components or devices of the telecommunications network. The action command may be executed via a controller interface of the telecommunications network with respect to the network components or the devices of the telecommunication network.

  • Publication number: 20190190951
    Abstract: A Honeypot Adaptive Security (HAS) system is described that determines whether a pre-loaded partner or third-party (PP-TP) application executed on a client device has gained over-privileged access to confidential client or network (CCN) data, or over-privileged use of client account features or information provided by a telecommunications service provider. The HAS system may selectively generate and deploy a policy solution or transmit an alert to address instances of over-privileged access or over-privileged use. The HAS system may retrieve client data associated with a PP-TP application executed on the client device, and further develop a PP-TP application data model to determine a probability of the PP-TP application gaining over-privileged access to CCN data or over-privileged use of client account features on a client device.
