Abstract: A set of threshold voltage distribution width measurements are obtained for a block in a memory device. An endurance estimate is determined for the block based on the threshold voltage distribution width measurements. The endurance estimate comprises an indication of an estimated number of program/erase cycles during which data can be reliably stored by the block. One or more parameters of the block are managed based on the endurance estimate.

Abstract: Obtain, by a controller, from at least one provisioning database of an internet service provider, assigned bandwidth per customer for a plurality of internet service provider customers. Obtain, by the controller, from a plurality of peering entry points of the internet service provider, currently used bandwidth per customer for the plurality of internet service provider customers.

Initiate at least one remedial action for the at least one given customer of the plurality of internet service provider customers putatively suffering from the distributed denial of service attack.

Abstract: A method for extended authentication sessions on an electronic device may include an authentication service computer program executed by an authentication service electronic device: receiving a customer identifier for a customer and a unique identifier for a mobile electronic device; authenticating the customer based on the customer identifier and the unique identifier for the mobile electronic device; setting a device cookie that is specific to the mobile electronic device on the mobile electronic device; and providing the device cookie and a client secret to an OAuth services backend, wherein the OAuth services backend validates the customer identifier and client secret and generates a first token and a second token, the first token having an expiration that is shorter than that of the second token. The mobile electronic device is configured to receive and store the first token and the second token.

Abstract: Password-less authentication and login onto an application are disclosed. A processor extracts Digital Driver's License (DDL) data from a user's computing device; extracts the DDL data of the user from an external database (i.e., DMV); validates the DDL data by comparing with the DDL data from the external database; creates, in response to validating, a DDL secret private key; allows successful registration of the computing device to utilize DDL data for login; and stores the DDL secret private key onto an internal database and a secured environment of the computing device. At login request by the user, when the processor determines that the computing device is successfully registered, it validates the DDL secret private key by comparing with data from the internal database; creates a new DDL secret private key and updates the internal database and the secured environment with the new DDL secret private key for subsequent login.

Abstract: A scalable Internet of Things (IoT) system may include multiple instances of an IoT manager, each instance respectively configured to connect to a respective edge system of multiple edge systems. The IoT system may further include a containerized system configured to allow any instance of the IoT manager to deploy data pipelines to any edge system of the multiple edge systems in delta communications. Any instance of the IoT manager may send a change message to any edge system via a publish/subscribe notification method. In some examples, a centralized IoT manager may form a secure communication with an edge system, synchronize an object model with an edge object model for the edge system, and maintain the edge system using delta change communications. The IoT system may facilitate any instance of the IoT manager to subscribe a communication channel with an associated edge system for receiving update notification.

Abstract: A read operation is performed on a memory device in accordance with a pass-through voltage setting that defines a pass-through voltage applied to one or more cells of the memory device during read operations. A number of zero bits read from the memory device based on the read operation are counted and compared with a threshold value. Based on the number of zero bits exceeding the threshold value, the pass-through voltage is increased by adjusting the pass-through voltage setting.

Abstract: A Mapping of Address and Port using Translation (MAP-T) border relay controller for managing and controlling a MAP-T network. Configuration and performance data are collected, by a border relay configuration collector, from one or more MAP-T border relay nodes of a MAP-T network. Internet Protocol (IP) flow data are collected, by an IP flow data collector, across one or more Internet peering routers coupled to the MAP-T network. A network anomaly that impairs performance of the MAP-T network is analyzed, by a logic algorithm module, using the configuration and performance data collected by the border relay configuration collector and the IP flow data collector. A network translation capability of the MAP-T network is reconfigured based on the analysis of the network anomaly and/or availability of network resources.
