  • Patent number: 11593708
    Abstract: An integrated neural network and semantic system applies a neural network to interpret an image, determines a syntactical element corresponding to the image in accordance with the interpretation, and determines a first probability that represents a confidence level that the correspondence is accurate. A semantic chain and associated second probability are then generated based on the syntactical element and the first probability, whereby the second probability represents the system's confidence level that the semantic chain accurately reflects objective reality. A natural language communication is generated for delivery to a user that comprises syntactical elements that are in accordance with the semantic chain and the second probability. The communication may further be expected to result in receiving information that will influence the confidence level that the semantic chain accurately reflects objective reality.

  • Patent number: 11546370
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for anti-replay protection for network packet communications. A scorecard is stored that includes packet sequence numbers for received packets associated with a network packet flow. For each received packet, an anti-replay unit accesses the scorecard for an initial check to determine if the current packet represents a late packet and/or a replay packet. After further processing, the anti-replay unit accesses the scorecard for a final check to determine if the current packet represents a replay packet. For one embodiment, the initial check uses a first window of packet sequence numbers, and the final check uses a second window of packet sequence numbers that is larger than the first window. For further embodiments, multiple processing units operate in parallel to process received packets and to share the anti-replay unit, and each processing unit requests initial and final checks for received packets it processes.

  • Patent number: 11516860
    Abstract: A method and device for managing establishment of a communications link between an external instrument (EI) and an implantable medical device (IMD) are provided. The method stores, in a memory in at least one of the IMD or the EI, a base scanning schedule that defines a pattern for scanning windows over a scanning state. The method enters the scanning state during which a receiver scans for advertisement notices during the scanning windows. At least a portion of the scanning windows are grouped in a first segment of the scanning state. The method stores, in the memory, a scan reset pattern for restarting the scanning state. Further, the method automatically restarts the scanning state based on the scan reset pattern to form a pseudo-scanning schedule that differs from the base scanning schedule and establishes a communication session between the IMD and the EI.
