Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for utilization of network mitigation techniques in the form of null address routing to mitigate coordinated DDOS attacks. A monitoring and mitigation service can characterize a command and control node as compromised or otherwise manipulated for purposes of generating distributed attacks. The monitoring and mitigation service can then identify network mitigation information in the form of null routing addresses that will cause network communications associated with the identified command and control node to be terminated or otherwise not delivered to the intended network-based resources. The monitoring and mitigation service can propagate the null routing address to routing components. The network mitigation information can be associated with expiration criteria for the routing components that receive and implement the network mitigation technique.

Abstract: A system may be configured for implementing neural volumetric reconstruction for coherent synthetic aperture sonar. Exemplary systems include means for measuring underwater objects using high-resolution Synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) by coherently combining data from a moving array to form high-resolution imagery. Such a system may receive a waveform from the measurements of the underwater object and optimize the waveform for deconvolving via an iterative deconvolution optimization process applying an adaptable approach to waveform compression where performance is tuned via sparsity and smoothness parameters. Such a system may deconvolve the wave form using pulse deconvolution and use the deconvolved waveforms in an analysis-by-synthesis optimization operation with an implicit neural representation to yield higher resolution and superior volumetric reconstruction scene of the underwater object.

Abstract: A computer-implemented online conferencing transactional platform system comprising an interaction module, a video-conferencing module, and a storage device may allow multiple participants in a video-conference to access, co-browse, collaboratively edit, and sign a transactional document. An interaction module fetches an image of a transactional document and a field identifier for an interactive transactional document element to be filled out from a remotely-connected secure signature API, and displays the image of the document, along with the interactive transactional document element on a webpage interface to a moderator and a signer end user in a video-conference. The interaction module receives a filled-out transactional document in an I-frame from the secure signature API, allowing the signer end user to sign the transactional document using a secure embedded signature process.

Abstract: A system may receive a first resource allocation request (associated with a first company) from a first entity. The system may determine that the first request is not associated with a risk relationship and arrange for it to be processed via a claim servicing entity. Information about the first request may then be routed to a request handler device for processing and a communication with a first graphical indication may be generated. The system may also receive a second resource allocation request (associated with the first company) from a second entity and determine that it is to be processed via a risk. The system may then route information about the second request to a request handler device for processing and generate a communication with a second graphical indication. Note that the request handler device may be the same device that received the information about the first request.

Abstract: A processing unit is provided with circuitry enabling execution quick evaluation of an exponential function. A multiplier circuit is used to multiply the input operand by log2(e), such that a result for the exponential function may be determined by evaluating 2i+f, where i is an integer part of a fixed-point number and f is a fractional part of the fixed-point number. A lookup table is used for providing an estimate for 2f based on the l MSBs of f. The lookup entries are provided according to a function such that the estimates for 2f are provided without bias towards either zero or infinity in the result. In other words, the maximum multiplicative error for each entry of the lookup table is the same in both negative and positive directions. In this way, statistical errors in the evaluation of a large number of exponential functions may be avoided.

Abstract: Radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems use readers to query and locate passive RFID tags in stores, warehouses, and other environments. A signal from the reader powers up the tag, which modulates and backscatters the signal toward the reader. Unfortunately, the maximum permitted RF signal power, self-interference at the reader, tag sensitivity, and channel loss limit the range at which readers can detect and locate tags. Using multiple readers simultaneously circumvents these limits. When used together, each reader transmits a signal to a tag in turn, and all of the readers listen for each of the tag's responses. The readers that are not transmitting do not experience self-interference and so can detect responses at lower power levels (longer ranges). Because the readers are at different locations, they measure different angles of arrival (AOAs) for each response. These simultaneous measurements can be used to locate each tag faster and with higher fidelity.

Abstract: A modular wall system includes a leveler disposed within a wall module. The leveler includes a base to which floor interfacing members of the modular wall system connect. As the leveler adjusts the height of the wall module, the base to which the floor interfacing members attach remain stationary. During installation, the bottom edges of the floor interfacing members can be trimmed to form a consistent gap below the floor interfacing members.
