  • Publication number: 20250260993
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable media that securely pull relevant subscriber profiles and SIM credentials periodically to ensure that the subscriber data is in sync with the data on the central cloud. The edge can request a subscriber profile from the cloud and provide an offset value corresponding to a prior profile for the subscriber. The cloud can then detect a change to the subscriber profile and increment an updated offset value associated with the subscriber profile. The updated offset value can then be used to sort a set of devices based on a time at which they were changed.

  • Publication number: 20250246687
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a conformal solid-state battery (SSB) and methods for producing and using the same. The SSBs produced using a method of the disclosure have a higher energy and power compared to similar solid-state batteries without conformal electric cells. Due to avoidance of using any liquid electrolytes, SSBs of the disclosure have increased safety, especially in cases of medical implants and/or during catastrophic failures, where reactions of liquid electrolytes with air and/or water can produce toxic and/or poisonous by products.

  • Publication number: 20220224795
    Abstract: The disclosed system and method detect robocalls using biometric voice fingerprints. The system receives audio input representing a plurality of telephone calls. For at least a portion of the telephone calls, the system analyzes the received audio based on a voice biometrics detection model to identify one or more biometric indicators characterizing a speaker in the analyzed telephone call. The system generates and stores a voice fingerprint characterizing the speaker based on the biometric indicators, and a time of the analyzed telephone call. The system analyzes stored voice fingerprints and times corresponding to speakers in the analyzed telephone calls to determine a frequency of occurrence of each voice fingerprint within an analyzed timeframe. If the frequency of occurrence of a voice fingerprint exceeds a threshold call quantity within the analyzed timeframe, the voice fingerprint is characterized as being associated with a robocaller.

  • Publication number: 20220118626
    Abstract: An artificial intelligence-based computer-implemented method and system is provided for performing an action with a machine. Input is received from one or more sensors. The input is used to determine a stimulus, which is used with a waveform to select a set of actions to perform. A mood of the machine is determined from a second waveform generated by a mood mechanism. The mood is used to select an action from the subset of actions. The mood may activate one or more reaction mechanisms to provide a physiological response. The machine then initiates the action.

  • Publication number: 20190180164
    Abstract: A computer system for transforming sensory input received at a machine into actions by the machine. The system receives sensory input from one or more sensors. Upon determining that the sensory input corresponds to a consciousness module, the system translates the input into a human language stimulus. The system selects an action corresponding to the human language stimulus and performs the action.

  • Publication number: 20190036896
    Abstract: Generic bootstrapping architecture (GBA) based procedures over Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) for use in authenticating and/or securing communications with Internet of Things (IoT) devices are provided. In one illustrative example, the device sends to a bootstrapping server function (BSF) a first CoAP request carried in a Confirmable (CON) message, where the first CoAP request indicates a request for initiating a bootstrapping procedure. In response, the device receives from the BSF a first CoAP response carried in an Acknowledgement (ACK) message, where the first CoAP response indicates an authentication challenge. The device sends to the BSF a second CoAP request carried in a CON message, where the second CoAP request includes a challenge response to the authentication challenge. The device receives from the BSF a second CoAP response carried in an ACK message, where the second CoAP response includes a bootstrapping transaction identifier (B-TID) which indicates a successful authentication.
