Space Saving Kickstand Design For Inking Mode On A Convertible Notebook, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

The use of Active stylus pens is becoming more standard for tablets and convertible notebooks. This

invention makes using an active pen on a 360 more useful for a better user experience. Studies show

that users like to write with their screen at an angle. This is achieved on surface pro like tablets with a

kickstand. On a 360 notebook the user only has one choice for writing, it must be flat. At any other

angle, when the user will try to write on the screen the unit will tip over or the hinge will close because

it cannot support …

Defensive Publications Series

Techniques are provided for associating similar devices and environments together so they can be effectively learned. Furthermore, a new device (e.g., smartphone) can be associated quickly with behaviors of other similar observed smartphones to avoid learning from scratch. Since wireless performance depends strongly on device and environments types, any machine learning method also needs to be conditioned on device and environment types.

Messaging Continuity And Lead Generation Using Conversational Ads, Dario Rapisardi, Bo Tian, Amit Fatnani

Defensive Publications Series

Conversational ads are an immersive and engaging ad format where users can directly chat or interact with the ad unit instead of clicking out to a destination URL. Such ads are available on mobile web, on display web, and on mobile apps. However, the conversation ends when the user switches to a different web page or closes the mobile app.

The techniques of this disclosure integrate CAs with messaging services, e.g., rich communication services (RCS), such that users and advertisers can seamlessly continue to chat after the CA session ends. Per the techniques, a user’s continued engagement after a chat …

Revenue Sharing Based On Ecpm And Video-Quality Metrics, Ruxandra Davies, Justin Lewis

Defensive Publications Series

Advertisement-based revenue generated from content, e.g., videos, hosted on content-sharing sites is typically shared between the content-creator and the content-hosting site based on click-through rates, number of ad impressions, etc. However, user-generated content is of varying quality, e.g., different content items enjoy different levels of viewer attention. A user that watches an advertisement that precedes a video often does not know if the video they are about to watch is the one they’re looking for. This disclosure addresses this problem by quantifying the value that content items bring to their viewer. The creator is paid based on the assessed value. …

Preventing Reverse Engineering Of Black-Box Classifiers, Laura Eidem, Alex Jacobson

Defensive Publications Series

Machine learning (ML) models trained for various purposes are generally kept confidential, e.g., due to their commercial value, proprietary nature of training data, etc. Therefore, commercial cloud-based machine-learning service providers protect their ML models even as they provide one or more services to customers that employ ML models. For example, a service enables a customer to upload an observation, e.g., an image, and receive a label for the observation, generated by a ML model that’s trained to determine labels for images. Recent research has shown that given a sufficient number of observations and returned labels, it is possible to reverse …

End-To-End Time-Sensitive Networking Connecting 5g Slices, Robert Barton, Maik Seewald, Jerome Henry

Defensive Publications Series

Techniques are described herein for deploying 5G slices in conjunction with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) in the backhaul network.

The system finally manages the end to end system by connecting the fronthaul 5G network with the wired backhaul network.

Determining Nominal Quality Of Service Needs Of A Device, Eliot Lear, Jerome Henry, Robert Barton

Defensive Publications Series

Techniques are described herein for influencing network learning behaviors such as Quality of Service (QoS) using Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD) files. This mechanism improves the MUD QoS scheme by augmenting the dimensions of the QoS MUD component, and creating a new traffic mix hierarchy that converts the manufacturer expression of traffic importance into a locally significant MUD QoS hierarchy. This addition increases the security of MUD mechanisms by removing the possibility of Internet of Things (IoT) devices exploiting faults in allowed IoT protocols or servers. This mechanism also improves network allocation and planning by allowing different allocations based on traffic …

Gender-Aware Natural Language Translation, James Kuczmarski, Melvin Johnson

Defensive Publications Series

Languages differ in the way they express gender. Some languages are gender-neutral, while others have masculine, feminine, or neuter forms. When translating gender-neutral text into a language with gender, there can be more than one valid translation. For example, the Turkish query “O bir doktor” is translated into English as either “He is a doctor” or “She is a doctor.” Historically, machine translation has not been able to generate more than one gender specific translation. Put differently, machine translation would “choose” a single masculine form, feminine form, or other gender variant as the translation output. In neural machine translation, this …

Convert Service Part Packaging Into A Service Tool To Do A Safely Intervention Of Replacing A Heating Module Of A Large Format Printer, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

In ink printers, heating sources are usually applied with a heating module that covers the maximum

media width supported by the printer. As the portfolio evolves, the print velocity demand

(throughput) is increasing drastically and consequently the size of the heating module to maintain

the exposure time of the printed media underneath it. The heating size has driven the inclusion of

a lifting mechanism needed to move away the heating module and maintain the ergonomics of the

user interaction with the printer. Because of this the toughest service intervention is the heating

module replacement and it needed to be adapted …

Improved Group Chat User Experience By Use Of Topic Detection, Sandro Feuz, Thomas Deselaers

Defensive Publications Series

As the number of participants in a group chat conversation increases, the problems of multiple topics and frequent topic switches become salient. These increase the burden on individual users to keep track of the conversation topics. These also lead to inefficiencies due to the disruption and interruptions caused by messages and notifications on topics that might be irrelevant or uninteresting to some of the chat participants. To address these problems, with user permission, this disclosure utilizes a machine learning model trained for automated detection of discussion topics in a chat. The detected topics are presented to the user to facilitate …
