  • Patent number: 11968540
    Abstract: Systems and methods for independently managing wireless transmission by individual spectrum access systems in a radio frequency spectrum shared by a plurality of spectrum access systems. An example method includes: receiving, by the spectrum access system, an interference budget from a sensor; determining, by the spectrum access system, secondary users managed by the spectrum access system in a radio frequency spectrum shared by a plurality of spectrum access systems; managing a move list for the spectrum access system independently of the other spectrum access systems in an absence of exchange of spectrum grant information with the other spectrum access systems; and determining the move list for the spectrum access system from a first moment and a second moment of an aggregate interference distribution such that the spectrum access system provides grants to its secondary users in a dynamic protection area of the spectrum access system.

  • Patent number: 11968795
    Abstract: The present document describes an electronic device with a structural midframe and associated methods. The architectural design of the electronic device (e.g., a security camera) is such that its components are assembled onto the midframe to form a subassembly and the housing is assembled after the subassembly. The midframe includes various features that enable multiple printed circuit boards, a camera subassembly, a front housing member, a heatsink, and a heat spreader to be assembled onto the midframe outside of the housing. The midframe can also include a hinge-bearing surface forming a portion of a ball joint for supporting rotational movement of the electronic device. Accordingly, the electronic device uses the midframe, rather than the housing, as a structural member.

  • Patent number: 11948153
    Abstract: System and method for automatically calling back a customer via a predictive model determines a plurality of call-back metrics for a plurality of advisor records. The predictive model is applied to call-back data to identify customers that are likely to require a series of call-backs, and automatically generates a preferred call-back to such customers to reduce this risk. The automated call-back may follow termination of an identified customer's inbound call, or at some time after completion of a previous call interaction of the identified customer with an advisor. In the predictive model, a first compilation of call-back metrics record is representative of an overall likelihood of call-backs associated with each advisor record, and a second compilation of the plurality of call-back metrics is representative of a likelihood of call-backs for each of the plurality of products of the enterprise associated with the advisor record.

  • Publication number: 20240068744
    Abstract: In a method for liquefying a gas rich in carbon dioxide, the gas is compressed to a first pressure greater than its critical pressure in a compressor to form a compressed gas, the compressed gas is cooled through heat exchange with a refrigerant to a variable temperature to form a cooled compressed gas with a density between 370 and 900 kg/m3, the cooled compressed gas is cooled at supercritical pressure in a first heat exchanger to a temperature below the critical temperature, the gas cooled below the critical temperature is expanded to a second pressure between 45 and 60 bara to form a diphasic fluid which is separated in a phase separator to form a liquid and a gas, and a liquid portion originating from the phase separator provides cold to the first heat exchanger.

  • Patent number: 11899790
    Abstract: A computer security monitoring system and method are disclosed that feature, in one general aspect, monitoring on an ongoing basis for evidence of the presence of infected systems in one or more networks that are each associated with a monitored organizational entity possessing digital assets, continuously updating risk profiles for the entities based on information about intrusion features from the monitoring, aggregating risk scores for the entities, and electronically reporting the aggregated risk score to an end user. In another general aspect, a method is disclosed that includes acquiring and storing data relating to interactions with malware controllers over a public network, acquiring and storing a map of relationships between networks connected to the public network, extracting risk data from the stored interaction data and the stored relationship map by cross-referencing the acquired interaction data against the map of relationships, and issuing security alerts based the extracted risk data.

  • Publication number: 20220132319
    Abstract: A system to identify a non-approved mobile device includes a scanner for mobile devices. The scanner may be deployed in a vehicle or in a building to detect the location of non-approved mobile devices therein. The scanner may receive RF transmissions from mobile devices located within the range of the scanner. Such mobile devices may be located within, outside, or proximal to the vehicle or building. Based on unique identifying signals, the scanner may classify the devices as approved, non-approved, or transient. The scanner may be in data communication with data storage capacities located within the scanner or accessible through wireless communication. Approved mobile devices may scan for transmissions within their environment and relay information to the scanner.
