Abstract: A power distribution system includes a battery having multiple power cell groups. Each power cell group includes at least two power cells and a state of charge monitoring sensor. A controller is connected to each state of charge monitoring sensor. The controller is configured to run a process causing the processor to detect a slow self-discharge in at least one power cell group by monitoring a cell balancing metric for each power cell group and generating a set of accumulated balance metric values. The set of accumulated balancing metric values includes an accumulated balancing metric value corresponding to each power cell group in the plurality of power cell groups. The process identifies a reference value and a difference between the reference value and the cell balancing metric of each power cell with a cell balancing metric lower than the reference value and comparing the difference to a threshold.

Abstract: A machine-learning model is trained to cluster support requests based on the contents of the support requests. A user of the recommendation system may select a set of support requests to be clustered. Based on the selected set of support requests, the trained machine-learning model may be tuned and used to cluster the selected set of support requests. Using the characteristics of the support requests in one or more generated insights, one or more tools suitable for providing automated support for the cluster of support requests may be identified. Using a knapsack-based approach, one or more of the identified tools is selected for recommendation to the user.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for generating depth information. For example, a process can include obtaining a first feature volume including visual features corresponding to each respective frame included in a first set of frames. A first query generator network can generate reconstruction features associated with a reconstructed feature volume corresponding to the first feature volume.

An initial depth prediction can be generated for each respective frame based on cross-attention between features of a depth prediction decoder, the reconstruction features, and the motion features. A refined depth prediction can be generated for each respective based on cross-attention between the initial depth prediction, the reconstruction features, and the motion features.

Abstract: Embodiments are described herein for transferring a subscriber identity module (SIM) or electronic SIM (eSIM) profile securely from a source device to a target device with verifiable signatures generated by secure hardware elements of the source device contingent on receipt of a secure intent gesture. Trustworthiness of the profile transfer is based on a mobile network operator (MNO) entitlement server releasing a transfer token after verification of a message signed by an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) of the source device. The eUICC signs the message only after verifying a message from a secure enclave processor (SEP) of the source device that signs the message based on receipt of the secure intent gesture via a secure interface. To validate communication between the SEP and the eUICC, an asymmetric cryptographic key pair generated by the SEP is bound to a unique eUICC identifier (EID) value of the eUICC.

Abstract: A network device that can trace the path of a network loop is provided. During operation, the network device can receive a probe packet from an originating network device (OND) via an ingress port of the network device. Here, the probe packet can include a source address of the OND. The network device can determine whether the network device is the OND by comparing the source address with a local address. Upon determining that the network device is not the OND, the network device can append the local address in a payload of the probe packet and forward the probe packet via an egress port based on the destination address. On the other hand, upon determining that the network device is the OND, the network device can determine presence of a loop associated with the network device and determine a trace path of the loop based on the payload.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for determining the identity of an Over-the Top (OTT) application or service being accessed over the Internet from a HTTP, HTTPS or QUIC connection request received in a network monitoring device. Determine if one or more entries are present in the received connection request have an IP address that matches a known server IP address. A determination is then made as to whether if the received connection request is one of a HTTP, HTTPS or QUIC connection request, and if this cannot be determined than determine if a subject field in the received connection request is available. And determine if a candidate domain name is available from IP cache created from one or more of the above steps if a subject field is not available in the received connection request.
