Abstract: In an embodiment, a threat score prediction model is generated for assigning a threat score to a software vulnerability. The threat score prediction model may factor one or more of (i) a degree to which the software vulnerability is described across a set of public media sources, (ii) a degree to which one or more exploits that have already been developed for the software vulnerability are described across one or more public exploit databases, (iii) information from one or more third party threat intelligence sources that characterizes one or more historic threat events associated with the software vulnerability, and/or (iv) information that characterizes at least one behavior of an enterprise network in association with the software vulnerability.

Abstract: Examples pertaining to bit selection for polar coding incremental-redundancy hybrid automatic repeat request (IR-HARQ) are described. An apparatus (e.g., UE) generates a re-transmission polar code block (CB) in a polar incremental redundancy HARQ (IR-HARQ) procedure. The apparatus then transmits the re-transmission polar CB as a re-transmission of an initial transmission of an initial polar code carrying a plurality of information bits. In generating the re-transmission polar CB, the apparatus selects one or more re-transmission information bits from the plurality of information bits.

The limit rod is inserted into a through hole of the lathe cutter, and a first and second ends of the limit rod are coupled to the first and second joint seats respectively. The clamp member is disposed on the limit rod. The clamp member and the second joint seat are provided to clamp the lathe cutter to separate the lathe cutter from the first and second bases.

Abstract: A direct pose feedback (DPF) control method applied to a DPF controlled machine is provided. The DPF control method includes a pose compensation control in addition to the position feedback control. The pose compensation control includes an initiation step, a reference system step, an actual pose calculation step and a position compensation step. The sum of the primary driving value and the compensation driving value is output to the driver of each of the motors. The advantage of the DPF control method is that the existing real-time position control loop in the controller can remain unchanged, while the pose compensation control is added to eliminate tool pose error resulted from geometric errors in the machine. The DPF controlled machine uses a pose measuring mechanism to measure the actual pose of the tool and to compensate the tool pose error. Hence, the DPF controlled machine is free of geometric errors.

Abstract: A cartridge-based computing system includes a display stand that connects to a compute module cartridge including a first securing member, a second securing member, and a release member coupled to the second securing member. The display stand defines a securing aperture that engages the first securing member when the compute module cartridge is connected to the display stand, which causes the first securing member to engage a securing element on the display stand and move it into engagement with the second securing member to connect the compute module cartridge to the display stand. The securing element may then be engaged by the release member to move it out of engagement with the second securing member, and into engagement with the first securing member to cause the securing aperture to disengage the first securing member and disconnect the compute module cartridge from the display stand.

The rotation bracket includes at least one display mounting element that is coupled to a display. The movable coupling of the rotation bracket to the display system mounting member allows the display to rotate relative to the computing device.

Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) device equipped with a conversion suspension function and an associated operation method thereof are provided. The ADC device includes: an interleaved clock controller, arranged to generate a first clock signal and a second clock signal according to a master clock signal; and a multi-ADC circuit, coupled to the interleaved clock controller, arranged to perform analog-to-digital conversion.

Abstract: Examples pertaining to additional bit freezing for polar coding are described. An apparatus performs polar coding to encode a plurality of input subblocks of information bits, frozen bits and optional cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits to generate a plurality of subblocks of coded bits. The apparatus then transmits at least some of the subblocks of coded bits. In performing the polar coding, the apparatus additionally freezes one of the plurality of input subblocks corresponding to one of the interleaved plurality of subblocks of coded bits which decreases polarization gain due to puncturing.

Abstract: A device mounting system includes a device bracket coupled to a device, and a support surface mount coupled to the device bracket. The support surface mount includes a base member mounted to a support surface, a securing member extending from the base member, and a securing latch that is included in the securing member and that moves between a secured orientation in which it engages the device bracket to secure the device bracket to the support surface mount, and an unsecured orientation that allows the device bracket to be decoupled from the support surface mount. A release member in the securing member may be actuated to move the securing latch between the secured and unsecured orientations. A locking element in the securing member may be actuated to prevent movement of the securing latch from the secured to the unsecured orientation to lock the device bracket to the support surface mount.
