  • Patent number: 11966485
    Abstract: The technology described herein protects the privacy and security of data stored in a knowledge graph (“graph”) by enforcing visibility policies when returning property information in response to a query or other attempt to extract property information from the graph and/or about the graph. The visibility policies may be stored with the object and used to prevent restricted properties from being extracted from the object, let alone the graph. The object-specific visibility policy may be stored in the storage layer of the knowledge-graph object with the object properties and content. Some implementations may include multiple visibility records for a single object. Together the visibility records form the object visibility policy. An object visibility policy may have a single visibility record or multiple visibility records.

  • Patent number: 11968214
    Abstract: Particular aspects of this disclosure relate to computerized systems for generating and using improved data structures and functionality to efficiently render different multiple access-controlled resources (or properties of access-controlled resources) that are part of a concept. Often times, two or more resources of a concept or properties of a resource are subject to different access controls. This adds computing complexity as to whether or not a user is granted access to the entire concept or resource, a portion of the concept or resource, or none of the concept or resources and what exactly is surfaced back to the user when there are resources or properties the user does and does not have access to. Some embodiments accordingly render an efficient composite view of concepts or resources where some resources or properties are accessible by the requesting user, while other resources or properties are not accessible by the requesting user.

  • Patent number: 8587488
    Abstract: The invention relates to an antenna unit for wireless communication to a multitude of wireless interfaces comprising a multitude of individual antennas, each antenna comprising a coil comprising at least one winding and the individual antennas embrace the same volume and to a hearing aid comprising such antenna unit. The object of the present invention is to provide an antenna unit and a hearing aid providing several wireless interfaces at a relatively small volume. The problem is solved in that at least one of the coils is adapted for providing an inductive coupling to another device. Among the advantages are reduced space/volume, reduced cost and reduced sensitivity to production tolerances compared to a solution comprising individual, separate antennas. The invention may e.g. be used in wireless communication devices, e.g. mobile telephones, head phones, head sets, hearing aids, etc.

  • Patent number: 8125391
    Abstract: The invention relates to a patch antenna for a small size, low-power device adapted for transmitting or receiving electromagnetic radiation in a predefined frequency range. The invention further relates to a method of driving a patch antenna and to the use of a patch antenna. The object of the present invention is to provide a patch antenna suitable for a small size, low power device. The problem is solved in that the antenna comprises at least one patch comprising an electrically conductive material and having an upper and lower face, the at least one patch being supported on its lower face by an intermediate material comprising a material having a negative magnetic permeability and/or a negative electrical permittivity, at least over a part of the predefined frequency range. The present invention provides an alternative scheme for manufacturing a patch antenna for a small size, low power device. The invention may e.g. be used for establishing a wireless interface in a portable communication device.
