A Machine-Learned Model To Detect Malicious Code Using Api-Call N-Grams From Static Analysis, Alexandre Boulgakov, Chuangang Ren

Defensive Publications Series

A technique to improve computer security is to test an executable for the presence of malicious code without running the executable. This publication describes systems and techniques for machine learning on application-programming-interface-call (API-call) n-grams from static analysis to automatically determine whether an executable or shared library binary file includes indicators of malicious code. The systems and techniques generate API-call graphs from the file. From the API-call graphs, the systems and techniques generate n-grams. A machine-learned model, using the n-grams, then identifies malicious code or code that performs unwanted behavior.

Safe Zones In Virtual Reality, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes techniques that enable players in a virtual reality (VR) game or environment to create safe zones. Per the techniques, once a user activates a safe zone, they can block another user who violates the terms or spirit of the game. Users are given the option to leave the game. A blocked user can be blocked right away or at the end of the game, in which case they are muted in the interim. The techniques provide tools that enable players of a game to enforce constraints to respect the intent of the game, and also give a …

Personal Boundaries In Virtual Reality, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

In social virtual reality (VR) environments, it is possible for a participant’s VR avatar to get very close to another participant. In case of such an event, the second participant can feel like they don't have control over their personal space in the VR environment. If the intruding participant is a stranger (rather than a friend or family member), the experience is all the more uncomfortable. It is possible for intrusions of personal virtual space to extend to unwanted touching and other forms of physical abuse which can later be claimed as or mistaken for acceptable behavior. This disclosure describes …

Holographic Detection And Reduction Of Wind Noise, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

Many devices that include built-in microphone(s) are used in windy situations. Wind noise degrades the quality of audio detected by the microphone(s), causes microphone signal saturation at high wind speeds, causes nonlinear acoustic echo, and reduces the performance of acoustic echo cancellation (AEC). Applications such as voice‐trigger, automatic speech recognition (ASR), and voice over internet protocol (VoIP) communication are negatively impacted by such degradation.

This disclosure describes cost‐effective and robust techniques to detect and reduce wind noise. The described techniques deliver optimum removal and detection results by processing the audio signal in a holographic way by dealing with all related …

Dynamic Threshold Optimization For Reordering Of Consumable Using Deep Learning, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

In Managed Print Services (MPS) service delivery space, in order to make sure an uninterrupted printing

experience for the customer, it is very important to deliver the supplies (consumables) on time. While

delivering supplies on time is an important goal from customer satisfaction perspective, but it has been

observed that (many a times) for achieving this, the supplies delivery is made too early, which leads to

early swap (of the supplies) in the printers. The ink left in the previous toner/supply (a.k.a. residue), results

in wastage of supplies.

Real-Time Automatic Text Correction Using Artificial Intelligence, Christopher Farrar

Defensive Publications Series

Since the act of typing requires the human brain to serve as the producer and editor of ideas at the same time, identifying and fixing errors on the fly as one is typing disrupts the flow of idea generation and consequently leads to wasted time and effort. This disclosure describes techniques that utilize artificial intelligence models to automatically edit text in real time as a user types on the keyboard. The real-time automatic editing fixes the user’s typing errors to produce the intended output without the need for the user to detect and correct the errors manually. Further, the AI …

Techniques For Easy And Efficient Manipulations Of Large Codebases, Marko Ivanković, Goran Petrovic

Defensive Publications Series

Making a change to computer programs, especially those with a large codebase, is tedious and error-prone. This disclosure discusses mechanisms for refactoring the source code of a computer program easily and at scale. The techniques allow users to perform complex, across-the-codebase changes manually and enable automation of such changes. The user experience of code refactoring involves the user providing instructions via a code refactoring UI that specify the reform intent. The reform request is analyzed and broken down into smaller jobs such as running tests, generating diffs using backend tools, or creating change lists with the appropriate diffs. An estimate …

Hybrid Paper Separation Structure, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

Structure for preventing paper double feeding by using the hybrid retard

structure

In the case of the reverse retard separation structure, the paper that has passed through

the Nip can be returned to its original position, so the separation performance is

excellent. However, the Pick-up Roller Unit has to be up/down on every page, which is

why it is noisy and vulnerable to durability.

The present invention operates in a semi-retard separation structure during normal

operation (normal output), and when a multi-feed is detected, reverse operation is

performed to realize only the advantages of the two structures.
