Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for performing a secure exchange of encryption keys (e.g., public keys) between two devices. One or more initialization keys are stored at both devices. In some embodiments, at least one device (e.g., a reader device) stores the initialization key(s) (e.g., a symmetric key, an asymmetric key pair) in local memory as part of performance of a manufacturing process for the device. The second device (e.g., a thin client device) may receive the initialization key(s) from an acceptance cloud (e.g., a server computer configured to perform terminal processing). The initialization key(s) are utilized to perform a secure exchange of the devices' respective public keys. Once these public keys are exchanged, the devices may proceed to establishing a secure connection with which subsequent operations may be performed.

Abstract: A method conducted using a mobile device is disclosed. The mobile device comprises a contactless application including a bridging module, a computer readable medium comprising a contactless kernel, wherein the contactless kernel includes a transceiver interface coupled to a processor. The mobile device includes a contactless element coupled to the processor. The method includes receiving a trigger signal indicative of a transaction to be executed. In response to receiving the trigger signal, the contactless kernel transmits first data to the bridging module. The contactless kernel is operable in a first mode of communication. The bridging module transforms the first data in the first mode of communication to first data in a second mode of communication and passes the first data to the contactless element. The contactless element transmits the first data to a user device, and thereafter receives second data from the user device to execute the transaction.

Abstract: Vehicle computing systems may receive and fuse long-wave infrared data with radar data to detect and track objects in low-visibility driving environments. In some examples, radar data including position and velocity data may be projected over infrared image data to detect, classify, and track infrared-emitting objects. Machine-learned transformer models with attention also may be trained to output object detections based on combined infrared and radar data. The fusion of infrared and radar data may be used individual and/or may be synchronized with other sensor modalities. In some examples, the fusion and analysis of infrared and radar data may be used in specific low-visibility driving environments, using low-light, fog, and shadowed areas of the environment, to detect and track infrared-emitting and/or moving objects such as pedestrians and animals that may be obscured from detection by other sensor modalities.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for encoding of an input data, to handle both variable bitrate requirements and varying importance of content of different portions of the input data. The encoding vectors may be based on a subset of data from the input data. Potential distortion in the reconstruction on a decoder side may be alleviated by transmitting a difference dataset as a complement to encoding vectors encoded from the input data. The difference dataset may be determined taking into account the importance of content of different portions of the input image to reduce the size, for example by masking out portion of the input data that is considered less important. The difference dataset may be compressed based on an available bandwidth.

Abstract: Described is a treated inorganic particle having an organic treatment layer, which can provide crystallization benefits to polymer resins. The treated inorganic particle has a mean particle size of about 0.1-10 ?m, and the organic treatment layer is an alkali metal salt or alkaline earth metal salt of an acid; where the acid is an aromatic acid or organic diacid. The treated inorganic particles increase crystallization temperature, increase crystal formation rate, and/or decrease cooling time needed for the solidification of the polymer compared with pigmented resins using other inorganic particles.

Abstract: A transformer-based machine-learned model may use cross-attention between map data and various sensor data and/or perception data, such as an object detection, to augment perception tasks. In particular, the transformer-based machine-learned model may comprise two or more encoders, one of which may determine a first embedding from map data and a second encoder that may determine a second embedding from sensor data and/or perception data. An encoder may determine a score that may be used to determine various outputs that may improve partially occluded object detection, ground plane classification, static object detection, and suppress false positive object detections.

Abstract: A thin client may be utilized to facilitate data exchanges between two devices (e.g., a remote computer and a portable device). In some embodiments, the two devices may utilize differing communications protocols. The thin client may further be configured with a rules engine that determines one or more actions to be performed in response to one or more stimuli. The thin client may manage the processing flow between the two devices according to one or more predefined rules that are interpretable by the rules engine. The rules may be pushed to the thin client via any suitable device enabling the functionality of the thin client to be configured and/or modified without having to update the hardware and/or software of the thin client.
