  • Patent number: 11482100
    Abstract: Technologies for monitoring vehicle traffic include a traffic analysis server that receives infrastructure data from infrastructure sensors positioned along a road segment of a road and vehicle data from one or more vehicles travelling along the road segment. The traffic analysis server determines whether anomalies are present in the traffic data through the road segment based on an expected traffic behavior for the road segment. The traffic analysis server determines the expected traffic behavior for the road segment in a particular time window based on a historical traffic pattern associated with the road segment, based on historical vehicle data and historical infrastructure data captured during a prior time window corresponding to the particular time window for that road segment. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11050775
    Abstract: Methods apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for IoT and PoS anti-malware are disclosed. An example method includes detecting a combination of function calls. Whether the combination of function calls is a forbidden combination of function calls for the device is detected based on a limited intended functionality of the device. The forbidden combination of function calls includes a first function call and a second function call. The first function call is allowed in isolation from the second function call. The second function call is allowed in isolation from the first function call. In response to determining that the combination of function calls is forbidden for the device, a responsive action is performed.
