Abstract: Techniques for identifying a trusted SSID for a wireless network are disclosed. Prior to establishing a connection with a wireless network, a first network message is received from a first access point (AP) identifying a first service set identifier (SSID) associated with a first wireless network, a second network message is received from a second AP identifying a second SSID associated with a second wireless network, and a visual similarity is determined between a first visual representation of the first SSID and a second visual representation of the second SSID. The second SSID is designated as suspicious based on the determined visual similarity.

Abstract: Federated multi-access edge computing availability notifications may be provided by: transmitting, from a User Equipment (UE) to a node of a wireless network of a federated service, an attach request for the wireless network that includes authentication credentials for an independent identity provider in an identity federation, wherein the independent identity provider is external and independent from the wireless network and used to authenticate the UE to the wireless network; forwarding, from the node to the independent identity provider, the authentication credentials; transmitting, from the independent identity provider to the node, an authentication success message; receiving, at the UE via the node, the authentication success message; transmitting, from the UE to the node, a Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) query; and receiving, at the UE from the node, a MEC response that identifies MEC resources that are available to the UE.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure include a method and associated network device. The method includes authenticating an identity of a user of a client device after the client device is associated with an access network provider. Authenticating the identity of the user comprises receiving, from an identity provider, a credential associated with the identity, and receiving, from the identity provider, information identifying a network-based service to be applied to network traffic with the client device. The method further includes establishing, using the credential and the received information, a secure connection between the access network provider and a service provider that is capable of providing the network-based service. The method further includes receiving network traffic from the service provider. Packets of the network traffic include an assurance value that enables the client device to determine that the network-based service is being provided by the service provider.

Abstract: A roadway pavement planing machine comprising a frame having forward and rearward ends, a pair of crawler drive assemblies disposed in side by side relation at the frame forward end upon which the frame forward end rests, with such drive assemblies being connected to the frame for independent vertical adjustment of said frame relative to the respective forward drive assemblies, a drive assembly adjacent the frame rearward end on which the frame rearward end rests and comprising a pair of crawler type drive assemblies. The rearward end drive assembly as a whole is connected to the machine frame for movement of the frame about a horizontal axis extending longitudinally of the frame.

Abstract: An automatic control system for a backhoe utilizing a bucket at the end of a rigid boom is disclosed herein. The automatic control system includes an actuator cooperating with a control valve that controls the flow of fluid to hydraulic rams that pivot the boom. The control system also includes position indicating means between the boom and the frame and a manually settable control element both of which produce output signals that are combined and activate the actuator so that the implement is moved at a rate which corresponds to the differences between the respective signals.
