Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods of providing real-time scanning of IP addresses. In aspects, input may be received by a real-time IP scanning system. The system may generate one or more work orders based on the input. A scanner associated with the system may access a work order and attempt to communicate with one or more devices identified by the work order. If the attempted communication with a device is successful, a protocol analyzer may be used to provide a predefined payload to the device. If the response from the device matches an expected string, the device may be determined to be a safe and/or legitimate device. If the response from the device does not match an expected string, the device may be determined to be a malicious device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for gathering network intrusion counter-intelligence. A system can maintain a decoy network environment at one or more machines. The system can identify a malicious user accessing network services through the network environment. Further, the system can receive network service access requests from the user at one or more machines in the network environment and subsequently direct the network service access requests from the malicious user to the decoy network environment based on an identification of the malicious user. The network services access requests can be satisfied with network service access responses generated in the decoy network environment. Subsequently, the system can maintain malicious user analytics based on the network service access requests of the malicious user that are directed to the decoy network environment.

Abstract: A method for determining a nicotine content in a gas mixture. The method includes exposing a metal oxide-based sensor to the gas mixture, applying a temperature profile over time to the metal oxide so that the temperature of the metal oxide, proceeding from a predetermined first temperature level, is brought to a predetermined second temperature level under controlled first transition conditions, and the temperature is brought from the second temperature level to a third predetermined temperature level under controlled second transition conditions, ascertaining a transient specific electrical resistance of the metal oxide at at least one certain point in time during the application with the temperature profile, and determining the nicotine content based on the ascertained resistance. A processing unit and a computer program product for carrying out the method are also described.

Abstract: A method for measuring an amount of a gaseous species present in a gas, the gaseous species absorbing light in an absorption spectral band, comprises placing the gas between a light source and a measuring photodetector. The light source is configured to emit a light wave that propagates through the gas to the measuring photodetector. The light source is activated so as to illuminate the gas, so that the light source emits a light pulse. The method also includes measuring, with the measuring photodetector, a measurement intensity of a light wave transmitted by the gas during the illumination, in a measurement spectral band. The measurement spectral band comprises the absorption spectral band. The light source is activated using a pulsed activation signal, each pulse having a specific form, notably to reduce aging of the source.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for determining speech emotion. In particular, a speech emotion recognition system generates an audio feature vector and a textual feature vector for a sequence of words. Further, the speech emotion recognition system utilizes a neural attention mechanism that intelligently blends together the audio feature vector and the textual feature vector to generate attention output. Using the attention output, which includes consideration of both audio and text modalities for speech corresponding to the sequence of words, the speech emotion recognition system can apply attention methods to one of the feature vectors to generate a hidden feature vector. Based on the hidden feature vector, the speech emotion recognition system can generate a speech emotion probability distribution of emotions among a group of candidate emotions, and then select one of the candidate emotions as corresponding to the sequence of words.

Abstract: There is provided a method and system for qualification testing in a social network service. Qualification testing provides access control into a social network, wherein qualification is based on answers to questions related to a topic. In one example, members admitted to the network provide guidance, notes and research assistance to another member. The social network members access the social network from an external networked computing service, such as another social network, to facilitate easy connection to potential members. The social network may be implemented as an application overlay to the external service, or may access connections in the external network.
