Abstract: A first device may communicate via a first wireless interface (WI) and a second WI, with the second WI operating at a relatively higher power level than the first WI. The first device may receive a scan notification corresponding to wireless scanning performed by a second device. The first device may subsequently perform wireless scanning using the second WI in response to the scan notification indicating that the first device is within effective communication range of a third device. The first device may receive the scan notification over a wireless connection established between the first device and the second device using the first WI. The first device may transmit filter information to the second device, the filter information indicating when, and for which scans the first device is to receive scan notifications. The first device may also activate the second WI and use the second WI to perform ranging and/or control operations associated with the third device.

Abstract: A method includes receiving an input mesh representation of a cardiac chamber, a set of measured locations on a wall tissue of the cardiac chamber, and a respective set of local activation times (LATs) measured at the locations. The input mesh is re-meshed into a regular mesh including regularized polygons. The set of measured locations and respective LATs is data fitted to the regularized polygons. Respective LAT values are iteratively calculated for the regularized polygons, so as to obtain a cyclic EP activation wave solution over the regular mesh that take account of reentry of an EP wave. An electroanatomical map including the cyclic EP activation wave overlaid on the regular mesh is presented.

Abstract: Hand dimensions are determined for hand and gesture recognition with a computing interface. An input sequence of frames is received from a camera. Frames of the sequence are identified in which a hand is recognized. Points are identified in the identified frames corresponding to features of the recognized hand.

Each different feature length value is collected for the identified frames independently of each other feature length value. Each different feature length value is analyzed to determine an estimate of each different feature length, and the estimated feature lengths are applied to a hand tracking system, the hand tracking system for applying commands to a computer system.

Abstract: A method for monitoring access of users to Internet SaaS applications includes the CISO (company Internet security office) in the configuration and operation of the method, instead of relying only on whatever security the SaaS application implements. Certificates, not accessible to users, are pushed to a user's client. When an access request is received from a client by an application, a gateway requests from the client the certificate. After a notification and approval process with the user, a received certificate is verified, user access to the application is allowed or denied, and the CISO notified of the attempted access.

A second technique is described that includes a “beam space” iterative adaptive approach (BS-IAA) algorithm, which uses three steps including a delay-and-sum beamforming step (DAS-BF), a region of interest (ROI) detection step that is applied to the output generated by the DAS-BF, and an IAA step that is applied to detected ROIs.

Abstract: Model elements of an executable model, representing a physical system, are partitioned into one or more linear portions and one or more nonlinear portions. Simulating behavior of the physical system, by executing the model, includes, for each of multiple simulation time intervals, for a first nonlinear portion, computing a correlation matrix characterizing noise associated with one or more ports of the model. A scattering matrix corresponds to a portion of the physical system represented by the first nonlinear portion without accounting for any noise within the portion of the physical system. The correlation matrix is derived from the scattering matrix based on noise within the portion of the physical system. Noise sources representing noise within the portion of the physical system are identified based on the correlation matrix. At least one characteristic of noise associated with each noise source is computed, and noise characteristics are output at selected ports.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for testing effects of simulated frame preemption and deterministic fragmentation of preemptable frames in a frame-preemption-capable network are disclosed. According to one method, a device under test including at least one processor simulates frame preemption by generating a plurality of simulated preempted frame fragments and an express frame. The test device deterministically orders, independently from MAC merge sublayer fragmentation and ordering, the simulated preempted frame fragments and the express frame for transmission to the DUT. The test device transmits the simulated preempted frame fragments and the express frame to the DUT in an order corresponding to the deterministic ordering. The test device receives a response of the DUT to the simulated preempted frame fragments and the express frame. The test device determines, based on the response of the DUT, whether the DUT operates in accordance with specifications for frame preemption.
