Abstract: Existing approaches to security within network, for instance oneM2M networks, are limited. For example, content might only be protected while the content is in transit between entities that trust each other. Here, the integrity and the confidentiality of content in an M2M network are protected. Such content may be “at rest,” such that the content is stored at a hosting node. Only authorized entities may store and retrieve the data that is stored at the hosting node, and the data may be protected from a confidentiality perspective and an integrity perspective.

Abstract: Lightweight, dynamic mechanisms are provided to support service layer interworking and resource extensibility. For example, one mechanism disclosed herein comprises defining a new service layer (SL) resource definition registration procedure that allows for specifying custom attributes of service layer resources to represent third party technology resources. A second mechanism disclosed herein comprises defining a new SL data model mapping registration procedure to map service layer resources to third party data models and to provide a new interworked retargeting indicator to the service layer. Further, a third mechanism disclosed herein comprises defining a SL generic interworking procedure to intelligently retarget requests toward interworked resources based on the interworked retargeting indicator provided by the data model mapping.

Abstract: An index file for an on-demand media stream (such as video-on-demand) is analyzed to determine one or more content insertion points, also referred to as cue points. The streaming platform modifies the index file such that the streaming platform can select the content to insert later on, preferably making that selection after the index file has been served and preferably a short time before the cue point in the stream. Put another way, the decision as to which content to insert at such points is not predetermined at the time of serving the index file. In this way, content insertions decisions can be made midstream.

Abstract: Cellular devices are becoming more and more powerful, and may host a number of different non-cellular capabilities, such as cameras, accelerometers, and sensors. Today, these capabilities are used mainly to provide some service to the device or the device owner. Disclosed herein are methods and systems for enabling devices to register their device capabilities with a cellular network, providing a mechanism for Application Servers to discover non-cellular capabilities of the devices, providing a mechanism to have the Application Servers configure these non-cellular capabilities of the devices, and preparing the device and the network for cellular traffic generated as a result of the Application Server using these non-cellular capabilities.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a tape drive comprising a tape head. The tape head comprises one or more data heads and one or more servo heads. Each servo head comprises a first shield, a first lead, a magnetoresistive sensor, a second lead, a second shield, and side shields. The magnetoresistive sensor is recessed from a media facing surface (MFS). The first lead is recessed from the MFS while the second lead and side shields are disposed at the MFS. A power supply is configured to apply a first electrical potential to the first and second shields, the side shields, and the second lead, and a second electrical potential to the first lead. The electrical design of each servo head is configured such that only one electric potential is exposed at the MFS, eliminating the possibility that a scratch will short the sensor.

Abstract: In embodiments of the presently described subject matter, two efficient PAPR reduction methods for OFDM signals based upon the principle of tone reservation and building upon the clipping noise analysis presented in “Analysis of clipping noise and tonereservation algorithms for peak reduction in OFDM systems,” L. Wang and C. Tellambura, IEEE Trans. Veh. Technol., vol. 57, pp. 1675-1694, May 2008 are provided, each comprising two stages. The first stage is performed offline to prepare a set of cancelation signals based on the settings of the OFDM system. In particular, these cancellation signals are constructed to cancel signals at different levels of maximum instantaneous power that are above a predefined threshold. The second stage is performed online and in an iterative manner to reduce the peaks of OFDM symbols by using the cancellation signals constructed in the first stage.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to spin-orbital torque (SOT) differential reader designs. The SOT differential reader is a multi-terminal device comprising a first seed layer, a first spin hall effect (SHE) layer, a first interlayer, a first free layer, a gap layer, a second seed layer, a second SHE layer, a second free layer, and a second interlayer. The gap layer is disposed between the first SHE layer and the second SHE layer. The materials and dimensions used for the first and second seed layers, the first and second interlayers, and the first and second SHE layers affect the resulting spin hall voltage converted from spin current injected from the first free layer and the second free layer, as well as the ability to tune the first and second SHE layers. Moreover, the SOT differential reader improves reader resolution without decreasing the shield-to-shield spacing (i.e., read-gap).

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to spin-orbital torque (SOT) differential reader designs. The SOT differential reader is a multi-terminal device that comprises a first shield, a first spin hall layer, a first free layer, a gap layer, a second spin hall layer, a second free layer, and a second shield. The gap layer functions as an electrode and is disposed between the first spin hall layer and the second spin hall layer. Electrical lead connections are located about the first spin hall layer, the second spin hall layer, the gap layer, the first shield, and/or the second shield. The electrical lead connections facilitate the flow of current and/or voltage from a negative lead to a positive lead. The positioning of the electrical lead connections and the positioning of the SOT differential layers improves reader resolution without decreasing the shield-to-shield spacing (i.e., read-gap).

Abstract: An integrated architecture and its associated sensors and processing software subsystems are defined and developed allowing a conventional unguided bullet to be transformed into a guided bullet without the use of an on-board inertial measurement unit (IMU). Some important SW components of the present disclosure include a target state estimator (TSE); a bullet state estimator (BSE); Multi-Object Tracking and Data Association; NTS GL; and a Data Link. Pre-conversion of two angles and range information of an OI sensor from spherical coordinates into Cartesian coordinates eliminates the Jacobian dependency in the H matrix for the BSE, thus increasing the miss distance performance accuracy of the bullet target engagement system.

Abstract: The concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to automated tool tracking for service technicians. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a tool tracking system can collect tool data from a vehicle system of a vehicle. The tool data can be associated with a tool that is to be utilized by a service technician to provide, at least in part, a service at a customer location. The tool tracking system can store the tool data in a data store. The tool tracking system can map the tool data to the vehicle and can determine when the tool is no longer mapped to the vehicle. This can be indicative of the tool having been left, for example, at the customer location. The tool tracking system can create an alert to inform the service technician and/or another entity that the tool is no longer mapped to the vehicle.

M ? B < 0.7 .

Abstract: A three-dimensional image-capturing device includes a first camera, a second camera, a driving member and a sensing member. The second camera is at one side of the first camera and is capable of being moved laterally by the driving member. After depth-sensing and establishing orientations in an image, the driving member is able to drive the second camera to move relative to the first camera, to change a distance between the first camera and the second camera. Such relative movement allows a greater range of three dimensionality for face recognition and other purposes.
