  • Patent number: 11979374
    Abstract: There is provided a method comprising receiving a domain name system (DNS) query from a client computing device, decrypting the DNS query by a DNS resolver device, and requesting reputation information related to the FQDN from an agent device of the router apparatus. If a matching FQDN is not found in a local database, the DNS query is allowed to proceed from the DNS resolver device to a cloud DNS resolver, the IP and MAC address of the client computing device are logged and mapped to the local database, the reputation information related to the FQDN is requested from a cloud FQDN server, and if the reputation information indicates that the FQDN should be blocked, the local database is updated with the reputation information and further queries to the FQDN are blocked.

  • Patent number: 11877041
    Abstract: An image sensor including a planar sensor array, a lens configured to form an optical image on the planar sensor array and characterized by a locus of focal points on a curved surface, and a cover glass with multiple thickness levels or multiple cover glasses of different sizes. The one or more cover glasses are configured to shift the locus of focal points for large field angles, such that there are multiple intersections between the planar sensor array and the locus of focal points for a large FOV, and thus multiple zones with best focus on the planar sensor array.

  • Patent number: 11620806
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to optical character detection. In some aspects, a user device may receive, from a vision sensor, a first image that is associated with a first optical character image. The user device may determine, using an image processing model, that the first image depicts the first optical character image. The user device may cause, based at least in part on determining that the first image depicts the first optical character image, a camera to capture a second image that is associated with a second optical character image. The user device may perform an action associated with the second image. Numerous other aspects are provided.

  • Publication number: 20210256704
    Abstract: Technologies for processing a three-dimensional (3D) underwater scene is disclosed. A computing device receives a data set representative of an underwater environment corresponding to sonar data generated by a sonar transducer assembly and receiving parameters. The data set includes 3D volumetric points representative of at least one 3D volumetric data set at one or more time points. The computing device applies segmentation modes on the data set, in which each segmentation mode generates a processed subset of the 3D volumetric points. Each processed subset includes one or more 3D volumetric objects. The computing device classifies one or more 3D volumetric objects based on a combination of the plurality of processed subsets.
