Skip Unnecessary Public Land Mobile Networks For Data-Only Subscriber Identity Module, Shih-Che Chou, Shivank Nayak

Defensive Publications Series

A user equipment (UE) employing a data-only subscriber identity module (SIM) is configured to ignore or skip non-preferred public land mobile networks (PLMNs). For example, the UE is restricted to a predefined list of (preferred) PLMNs stored at the UE. When the UE determines that a registered PLMN or a home PLMN is not available, the UE compares available PLMNs (if any) to the predefined list of PLMNs. If an available PLMN is identified as a preferred PLMN based on the predefined list of PLMNs, the UE selects and attempts to register on the PLMN. However, if no available PLMNs …

Link Rate Auto Negotiation Between Ecpri Iwfs In 5g/Lte-A Fronthaul/Xhaul Packet Network, Prashant Anand, Manoj Kumar

Defensive Publications Series

The enhanced Common Public Radio Interface (eCPRI) specification presents a probabilistic method for link rate negotiation in an eCPRI and Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) interworking scenario which gets further complicated and more time consuming due to presence of two interim CPRI links and one fronthaul network path, generally resulting in multiple iterations of CPRI negotiations in the interim links. To address these types of challenges techniques are presented herein that support, among other things, bringing the eCPRI link rate negotiation on par with the rate negotiation which is employed in a direct point-to-point connected CPRI link so that, among …

Provable Time And Place Of Capture For Photos, Mikhail Goncharov

Defensive Publications Series

Photographs can be manipulated or decontextualized to mislead or misrepresent. Existing techniques to authenticate the time or location of image capture, such as stamping a time on the image, are rather simplistic and vulnerable. This disclosure describes techniques to prove the time and place of capture of a photograph. An authenticity server generates a timestamped, pseudorandom pattern. Upon capture of a photograph, the camera downloads the pattern and captures an authentication video while executing a sequence of movements corresponding to the pattern. The authentication video can be used to authenticate the time of capture of the photograph by confirming that …

Human Readable Representation Of Data, Tommy Nyquist, Siddhartha Sivakumar, Salvador Guerrero Ramos, Oystein Eftevaag

Defensive Publications Series

Software often generates lengthy and difficult-to-recall alphanumeric identifiers, e.g., b23fc5a0a2bd3c964910c47f6a3252bffa146. Examples of such identifiers include links to documents or web-resources, entries in databases, digital signatures, etc. The length and the seemingly arbitrary construction of the identifier makes it difficult for a human user, e.g., a programmer, to identify, memorize, or compare. This disclosure describes techniques that map lengthy alphanumeric strings to easy-to-recall icons and/or colors. The map can be a deterministic, many-to-one function, e.g., a hashing function.

Applying Mean Absolute Deviation (Mad) For Latency Based Traffic Engineering, Praveen Kumar, Navdeep Sood

Defensive Publications Series

Latency variation measurements are critical for low latency applications, as are often utilized for Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Fifth Generation (5G) network environments. Existing performance measurement implementations often use variance for determining latency. Presented herein is a technique for utilizing mean absolute deviation (MAD) as a latency metric because it provides a better representation of latency and outliers don't impact calculated latency values.

Particulates Neutralization Airbag Retainer, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

An airbag retainer has sidewalls that are constrained to less than ninety degrees from the base and may have an additional terminal end feature. An additional flange or hook feature at the base of the retainer can also be implemented. The sidewalls and the optional flange/hook reduce the size, velocity, and temperature of effluent particulates discharged from an airbag inflator, which helps neutralize the particulates against damaging the airbag fabric. The sidewall angle and the use of an additional flange or hook can be tuned to maximize the particulates neutralization.

Application Of K-D Trees For The Implementation Of A Rule Engine, Mirko Rossini

Defensive Publications Series

Applications that involve functions requiring choosing a rule from a set of prespecified rules typically employ rule engines that apply suitable algorithms, such as the Rete algorithm, to select the most appropriate rule from the rule set. However, such algorithms do not scale well for large rule sets and are unsuitable for handling real-time rule selection. This disclosure describes a rule engine that operates by mapping the set of rules as nodes within a K-D tree. The mapping requires that each rule be represented geometrically as a point in an N-dimensional space by considering the ranges created by intersecting ranges …

Adaptative Alignment For Movable Printhead Slot System (Mss) To Avoid Print-Based Alignment Correction Every Time The Carriage Is Changed, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

The flexibility of a printer is bound by the carriage configuration that it has. In order to have

more possible configurations in a carriage, there are some printers that have a Movable Slot

System (MSS). A MSS allows to move the printheads in pen direction in order to achive different

carriage configurations. However, it has some mechanical tolerances that need to be calibrated

at each possible position of the MSS by aligning the printer.

In this invention, we describe a methodology to preserve the alignment values between

the different carriage configurations that can be obtained with a MSS. Its main …

Reconciling Assets In A Rights Management Database, Thomas Bugnon, George Huang, Sha Chang, Xiangyu Li, Arthur Gaudriot, Keith Wedelich

Defensive Publications Series

A rights management database maps content to content owners. Such a database can have duplicates of essentially identical assets, a problem referred to as undermerging. Conversely, a single asset can erroneously include multiple distinct assets, a problem referred to as overmerging. This disclosure describes techniques to automatically resolve overmerged assets and undermerged assets in a rights management database. Per the techniques, a consistency signal for an asset is computed. A logic module uses the consistency signal and a strict-match signal to merge assets that correspond to the same content. Another logic module detects duplicate reference material and builds a graph …

Generic Link Measurements For High Performance Network Elements, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

A high-performance communications network, e.g., as used in a data center, can be heterogeneous in the types of nodes and the protocols between them. Detecting and zeroing in to network conditions such as under-utilized links, faulty links, excessive latencies, etc. can become an involved task requiring the particulars of the node types and their protocols. This disclosure describes techniques of link-level measurement and network problem identification that apply generically to differing node types and protocols. Hardware counters that measure the number of clock cycles spent in transmission, re-transmission, wait-states, etc. are embedded at node egresses. The counters are triggered, e.g., …

Reconciling Sets Of Resources That Appear In Different Forms, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

There are many situations that require the reconciliation of two sets of data. Differences between the sets may be real or insubstantial, and it is the substantial differences that are better surfaced to a user. This disclosure describes techniques to automatically reconcile two sets of data. The techniques are particularly useful when the overlap between the two data sets is unknown or when the elements within the sets appear in different forms. Mismatches between the sets are captured using abstract costs, which enables partial matching between the two sets unconstrained to be one-to-one, and which can happen at multiple levels …

Substrate Load Handle Helper, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

When loading a wide substrate to a large format printer, the user should place first one

end of the substrate and then the other end, with the risk of getting unloaded the first

end threaded, because of the curling of the substrate itself. This problem can be an

annoying action every time the user needs to load a substrate into the printer.

Usually, in printers with wide supporting substrate, typically more than 64”, this activity

is performed by 2 users, each one at each end of the substrate.

This limitation can be overcome by using the proposed solution: Substrate Load …
