Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for determining a subject's sleep stage based on a PPG signal measured using an in-ear earpiece. In aspects, one or more physiological signals are estimated based on the PPG. Based, at least in part, on the determined sleep stage, one or more outputs are provided. In an example, the outputs are provided to the subject, the subject's physician, the subject's clinician, the cloud, and/or a device external to the apparatus. The methods and apparatus of determining the subject's sleep state described herein are continuous and non-invasive and eliminate the need for a clinical setting.

Abstract: The technology described in this document can be embodied in a computer-implemented method that includes receiving information representing audio captured by a microphone array, wherein the information includes multiple datasets each representing audio signals captured in accordance with a sensitivity pattern along a corresponding direction with respect to the microphone array. The method also includes computing, using one or more processing devices for each of the multiple datasets, one or more quantities indicative of human voice activity captured from the corresponding direction, and generating, based at least on the one or more quantities computed for a plurality of the multiple datasets, a directional audio signal representing audio captured from a particular direction.

Abstract: A method of automatically identifying malware may include receiving, by an expert system knowledge base, an assembly language sequence from a binary file, identifying an instruction sequence from the received assembly language sequence, and classifying, by the expert system knowledge base, the instruction sequence as threatening, non-threatening or non-classifiable by applying one or more rules of the expert system knowledge base to the instruction sequence. If the instruction sequence is classified as threatening, information may be transmitted to a code analysis component and a user may be notified that the binary file includes malware. The information may include one or more of the following: the instruction sequence, a label comprising an indication that the instruction sequence is threatening, and a request that one or more other assembly language sequences from the binary file be searched for at least a portion of the instruction sequence.

Abstract: A representational editing system for WYSIWYG editing of editable web pages with embedded content elements. The representational editing system presents embedded content elements in an editable manner that represents their actual appearance on the web page. Typically, the representational editing system displays an image in place of the embedded content. The representational editing system enables users to modify editable attributes of embedded content in a WYSIWYG editing environment.

Abstract: A method and system allows a user to add content to a displayable content container (e.g., web page) that specifies at least one modifiable portion, where the modifiable portion is served by a server operated by one entity, but provided to the server by a service operated by another entity. The modifiable portion is attributable to the one entity and remaining content in the displayable content container is not editable by the users. Other features, such as user authentication mechanisms, are also described herein.

Abstract: A method and system for WYSIWYG editing of dynamic content on editable web pages. Generated content is content that is received periodically from a dynamic source. Generated content may be represented on an editable web page by instructions that describe how to generate the dynamic content. The generated content system presents generated elements in a non-editable manner while allowing modification of their instructions and also allowing complete editing functionality of any surrounding static content. Thus, the generated content system allows the user to include generated content in an editable web page in a way that clearly identifies the generated content during editing and still allows the user to modify the content.
