  • Patent number: 12073731
    Abstract: A mission monitor for planning non-scheduled flight plan operations during a flight such that a user or the system may direct the aircraft to a safe position if the pilot or aircraft cease to perform as planned. Upon user selection or a triggering event the mission monitor may select and cause the aircraft to fly a determined best course of action at any particular point inflight. The mission monitor may remotely and wirelessly receive flight, pilot, aircraft, and operator information. In some implementations mission monitor features may be distributed between individual modules. In one embodiment the system determines current aircraft configuration against an expected aircraft configuration to detect configuration errors, and then utilize configuration errors and error trends to manage aircraft configuration and mission operation. The system may divert the aircraft to the best available landing sites or reconfigure the aircraft to resolve configuration errors.

  • Patent number: 12056275
    Abstract: An Artificial Reality (AR) device captures an image of a physical environment surrounding a user wearing the AR device. A three-dimensional map corresponding to the physical environment is accessed. Then, a pose of the AR device relative to the three-dimensional map is determined based on first features of physical objects captured in the image and second features of object representations in the three-dimensional map. The device determines, using an eye tracker, a gaze of an eye of the user. Based on the gaze and the pose, a region of interest is computed in the three-dimensional map. Representations of physical devices in the region of interest of the three-dimensional map are identified. The device determines an intent of the user to interact with a physical device. A command is issued to the physical device based on the determined intent.

  • Patent number: 12032705
    Abstract: Proper functioning of an antivirus software running on an endpoint system is detected using a test data that is provided to the endpoint system. The test data is also provided to a backend system, which provides the endpoint system with an antivirus definition that includes information for detecting the test data. The antivirus software running on the endpoint system scans for the test data and reports detection of the test data to the backend system. The antivirus software is deemed to have failed the proper functioning test when the antivirus software fails to report detection of the test data. Proper functioning of the antivirus software is also detected by performing a challenge procedure, which involves sending a challenge message to the endpoint system. The endpoint system is expected to respond to the challenge message with a response that includes expected information.

  • Patent number: 12010367
    Abstract: Techniques for broadcast in-home streaming are described. In some embodiments, the method is performed at a gateway device. The gateway device demultiplexes a broadcast stream to a plurality of streams, including a first stream and a second stream and anchors a first presentation time range of a first segment based on a random access point in the first stream and a first frame in the second stream. The gateway device also identifies one or more frames in the first stream based on presentation timestamps and decoding timestamps of a last frame in the first presentation time range and a first frame in a second presentation time range. The gateway device further captures frames from the second stream within the first presentation time range and generates the first segment having the first presentation time range, including the random access point, the one or more frames, the first frame, and the frames.
