Ai-Assisted Gesture Navigation For Computing Devices, Maryam Karimzadehgan, Trystan Upstill

Defensive Publications Series

A computing device (e.g., a smartphone, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a smartwatch, etc.) may use a machine learning model to classify user inputs as a back gesture for navigating with respect to graphical user interfaces (GUI) of the computing device. The computing device may apply a machine learning model to input data associated with the user input (e.g., (x,y) coordinates of the user inputs) and a context of the computing device (e.g., an application (“app”) that is currently executing on the computing device, the width of the computing device, the orientation of the computing device, etc.) to determine …

Reject Eps-Fb And Rat-Fb Call At Mobile Terminal, Kuan-Wei Chen, Roy Lin

Defensive Publications Series

Techniques are disclosed that allow a user or upper-layer application running on a user equipment operating on a 5G network to ignore or reject an incoming call. This allows a user to avoid the degraded performance resulting from the fallback procedure that would otherwise terminate the 5G data connection in favor of a lower-capability network to complete the incoming call. Based on a command transmitted with the incoming call, the technique allows a user equipment to initiate a radio resource control (RRC) re-establishment procedure to recover 5G service. Alternatively, in the event the user equipment is connected to a network …

Visual Determination Of The Speed Of An Exercise Bicycle, Alexander James Faaborg, Michael Ishigaki

Defensive Publications Series

Smart exercise bicycles and other equipment include sensors that measure various parameters. The measurements are used to provide useful features such as visual speed feedback on a monitor while the user is in an online or prerecorded workout. However, smart bicycles are expensive. This disclosure describes low-cost techniques of estimating the rotations-per-minute (RPM), or equivalently the miles-per-hour (MPH), of an exercise bicycle using an available camera and displaying the measured parameters on a monitor. By utilizing an available camera, e.g., a smartphone or other device camera, and display, there is no need for specialized sensors/displays is eliminated. Thus, the user …

surfaces. The notebook has an integrated ozone generator and can push air via a fan through

the keyboard crevices to supply the impacted surfaces with Ozone …

Base-116 Encoding, David Schneider

Defensive Publications Series

Base-64 encoding is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that is popular in HTML applications since it encodes to relatively safe characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /) that can survive all sorts of transmission media. However, it is quite inefficient, expanding every 3 bytes of input data to 4 characters of output data, an expansion in data size of 33%. This disclosure describes base-116 encoding, which, by encoding every 6 bytes of input data to 7 characters of output data, expands the input by only 16.67%. Base-116 encoding is very efficient in its use of codepoint space, and it can be efficiently …

Autoregulated Vacuum Nozzle, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

Metal Jet is a binder jetting additive manufacturing technology. The process starts by filling the print

bucket (“build unit” from now on) with metal powder. Then, the build unit is inserted in the printer, where

the parts are formed by selectively gluing powder particles together employing a binding agent. After

that, the build job must go through a curing process where the binder solvents are evaporated. Finally,

the job is cooled, and the parts can be extracted and cleaned before going to a sintering oven. This last

process is called “de-caking” and it consists of removing the loose powder from …

Defensive Publications Series

Reviewing large document collections is an activity that arises commonly in certain professional contexts such as investigative journalism. Such document collections can arise in many use contexts such as investigative journalism; academic research; litigation, arbitration or other legal context; audit; research using document archives; etc. The collections may include a large number of documents, including scanned images of documents or handwritten documents, and are often devoid of structure or organization. This makes it difficult to sift through such collections and identify important pieces of information. This disclosure describes a tool that enables easier access to such collections and features that …

End-To-End Encrypted Video With Adaptive Bit Rates, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

Server-side adaptive bit rate (ABR) encoding is a technique used to match video bandwidth to a user’s channel bandwidth. In ABR, an uploader streams in the video to a server at a high quality, while the downloader streams from the server the highest quality compatible with its bandwidth. As currently practiced, ABR is incompatible with end-to-end encryption since the server needs to decrypt the uploaded video to generate multiple lower bandwidth versions of the video.

This disclosure describes techniques for end-to-end encryption of video while making the video available to a receiver at multiple bit rates. The sender uploads to …

Defensive Publications Series

Various technical specifications, such as Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) specifications, define various functional splits that can be utilized for a Fifth Generation RAN (5G-RAN). For example, Split option 2 and Split option 7.2 are the typical implementations, and Split option 6 (Physical layer/femto application platform interface (PHY/FAPI)) is likely to be prevalent soon. Split option 7.2 is fronthaul heavy and involves strict latency budgets. For example, Split option 7.2 needs roughly four times the bandwidth of Split option 2/6 for the same amount of user plane throughput. Presented herein is a system in …

An Intent-Based Caching System For Constrained Internet-Of-Things Environments, Dima Dababneh, Sean Ceballos-Mcgee, Connie Sidberry, Robert Barton

Defensive Publications Series

Internet-of-Things (IoT) environments often have very constrained edge devices, with limited memory, storage, and compute power. Additionally, these environments can be highly distributed. In many cases, edge devices/applications need to access content repeatedly from a cloud service or higher-tiered application. Because device and network connections can become constrained, it is desirable to cache objects, files, etc. local to the edge devices. However, caching systems and cache replacement algorithms may not consider the criticality or requirements of one application over another. Techniques presented herein provide for adapting well-known caching mechanisms for utilization within environments involving constrained networks. Further, intent-based classification techniques …
