Wireless Emergency Probe Message, David White, Kevin Klous, Magnus Mortensen, Jay Johnston

Defensive Publications Series

The techniques described herein leverage The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11ax probe request messages to encode an Emergency Beacon (Request for Help) within the initial non-Access-Point (AP) station’s (client’s) probe request packets which would notify the AP that a client is in distress and to notify Emergency Services (via text-to-911 and provide e911 location information). This new capability allows any 802.11ax AP to receive emergency beacons, regardless of how “closed” the networks are on that AP, thereby allowing any wireless client the ability to reach out for help and allowing the AP to relay that information onward …

Personnel Knowledge Search System, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

People within large originations have difficulty finding individuals or groups who have expertise

or products for any specific domain. This is largely due to the difficulty of tracking what each

individual or group is working on in a dynamic environment. The proposed solution is to create a

Search Engine which can query individuals based off their domain expertise. The proposed

solution uses the 􀜦􀝋􀜿2􀜸􀝁􀜿􁈾􀬷􁈿 model to produce topic vectors for every email or other textual

communication by employees. The communication topic vectors provide spatial correlated topics

Car Assistant, Stacy Gonyou

Defensive Publications Series

Smart devices continue to proliferate as the Internet-of-Things expands. Advances in both automotive and computing device technology now allow smart device functionality to be integrated into automobiles. In some circumstances, smart device functionality can be incorporated into the computing system of the automobile itself. In other circumstances, smart device functionality can be present in an automobile via a secondary electronic device, such as a dongle coupled to an automobile’s on-board diagnostic port or a twelve-volt electric port. In either circumstance, smart device functionality can be integrated into the automobile without the need of, or compromising the performance of, a driver’s …

Augmented Search For Physical Documents, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

In recent years, we are used to searching words in electronic documents such as PDFs,

Powerpoints, Word Documents, and so on. Whenever we have a large document and we

need to find a specific word or sentence - with a few keyboard commands - we can easily

find it, and all occurrences are highlighted to make locating it easier. On the other hand,

when we think about physical documents (e.g. printed documents, magazines), there is

no such mechanism that allows us to search words or sentences on it. Our method helps

creating a search query on physical documents by allowing …

Using Blockchain To Simplify Session Initiation Protocol Overload Control, Kaustubh Inamdar, Ram Mohan R, Gonzalo Salgueiro

Defensive Publications Series

Techniques are described herein by which the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server overload problem may be significantly simplified by using a distributed system where transactions can be authorized and stored. For example, a technology like blockchain may enable a centralized, shared, and secure transaction database to be used to communicate SIP server overload information. SIP server overload information may be shared between servers that are part of a trust domain. The trust domain may be confined within a network or span across network boundaries (e.g., between enterprise edges / SIP trunk providers / SIP calling cloud providers).

Additional Security For Stored Print Jobs, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

Modern printers have a provision to receive print jobs from remote client devices over network and keep them as stored jobs.

At the time of sending a print job, user (at client device) has a choice to associate a PIN with the job and have it stored in

encrypted format on the printer. Even though the combination of the two seem good enough to secure user’s print data, but

this safety relies totally on the confidentiality of the PIN – once the PIN has been leaked, the data safety is compromised.

In today’s world when computing machines are capable of …

A Firmware-First, Early Warning System To Detect Performance Anomalies And Provide Actionable Insights In User-Visible Interfaces, Srinivasan Varadarajan Sahasranamam, Sandeep S Yelandur

Defensive Publications Series

Application performance can be affected adversely due to many reasons. Some of these sources of performance degradation remain hidden from user visibility due to their very nature of occurrence, such as misconfigured hardware or firmware settings, or a faulty piece of hardware that is designed to keep the system functional, albeit on a reduced horsepower. Prevalent monitoring approaches rely on such performance degradations having persisted in the platform before they can be acted upon. In this paper, we propose a novel, “firmware-first”, rules-based approach for early detection of performance anomalies, both during the boot process and at runtime (where the …

Extended Spi Bus, Leonid Lobachev

Defensive Publications Series

Serial peripheral interface (SPI) is a protocol that enables low-level machine communication between electronics subsystems, e.g., microcontrollers, peripherals, etc. In applying SPI to communications between devices of substantially differing performance characteristics, e.g., clock frequency, memory capacity, or response time, the original SPI has some disadvantages. For example, due to the streaming nature of SPI communication, errors are not detected; due to differing clock frequencies at two ends, synchronization is difficult; due to differing memory capacity at two ends, the buffers of the end with less memory overflow; etc.

This disclosure describes an extension to SPI that features synchronization signaling and …

Service Adjustment Tool For Print Head To Belt Spacing, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

Large-Format Printers usually have a special adjustment process in the factory to ensure the correct spacing

between the Print Head and the Belt. This distance (also known as PBS "Pint Head to Belt Spacing") is very important

as the Printer's algorithms uses it to calculate when the ink drop needs to be fired from the Print Head to place it on

top of the media. This parabola is calculated assuming the PBS is 2.3mm with a tolerance of 0.5mm. By ensuring this

PBS distance is within specs, printer's Image Quality is also ensured.

Contoured Output Bin Designed To Passively Stop, Neatly Stack, And Allow Retrieval Of A Variety Of A3 Supported Media Sizes, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure is for an output bin design that utilizes a contoured shape which eliminates user

interaction while optimizing clean sheet‐to‐sheet alignment of ejected printed pages (stacking) of A3‐

supported media sizes. The contoured design has a four‐part shape comprised of an initial inclined

slope rising to an inflection point, then a declining slope preceding an inclined "tail". Neat stacking is an

important user requirement that is often satisfied with the addition of an active, user‐adjusted barrier

(backstop) that stops the travel of ejected media. Active backstops require user interaction to be set to

the appropriate distance based on media …
