Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems that enable automatic exposure and gain control for face authentication. The techniques and systems include a user device initializing a gain for a near-infrared camera system using a default gain. The user device ascertains patch-mean statistics of one or more regions-of-interest of a most-recently captured image that was captured by the near-infrared camera system. The user device computes an update in the initialized gain to provide an updated gain that is usable to scale the one or more regions-of-interest toward a target mean-luminance value. The user device dampens the updated gain by using hysteresis. Then, the user device sets the initialized gain for the near-infrared camera system to the dampened updated gain.

Abstract: Counterfeit uniform resource locators (URLs) are detected and blocked in real-time by a browser extension in communication with a counterfeit URL detection system. The browser extension receives a URL requested within a browser application. Content from a webpage associated with the received URL is extracted and transmitted to the counterfeit URL detection system, which is configured to analyze the content and return an assessment indicating whether the URL is counterfeit. If the assessment indicates that the URL is counterfeit, the browser extension blocks the browser application from accessing content associated with the URL.

Abstract: The present document describes techniques associated with a textile-material model for vibroacoustic structural simulation. The techniques described herein provide a nontrivial methodology to test a textile and simplify its representation, which can enable prediction of acoustic performance (e.g., rub and buzz) of an electronic-speaker device having a textile mounted thereon. The textile is modeled as a textile-material model based on an elongation stiffness obtained from a time-temperature superposition curve of the textile, which is based on a dynamic mechanical analysis test of the textile in each of course and wale directions. The textile-material model is then applied to an assembly model of the electronic-speaker device to simulate a vibroacoustic response of the textile relative to the assembly model to predict a likelihood of rub and buzz.

Abstract: Training query intents are allocated for multiple training entities into training time intervals in a time series based on a corresponding query intent time for each training query intent. Training performance results for the multiple training entities are allocated into the training time intervals in the time series based on a corresponding performance time of each training performance result. A machine learning model for a training milestone of the time series is trained based on the training query intents allocated to a training time interval prior to the training milestone and the training performance results allocated to a training time interval after the training milestone. Target performance for the target entity for an interval after a target milestone in the time series is predicted by inputting to the trained machine learning model target query intents allocated to the target entity in a target time interval before the target milestone.
