Customer-Tenant-Custody Of Third-Party Credentials For Cross-Tenant Security Automation, With Fail-Closed Capability Signaling, Alpenshield Gmbh

Defensive Publications Series

In a multi-tenant managed security service that executes response actions through third-party tools on behalf of customer tenants, the credential for each third-party tool is never held by the service provider. It resides only in the customer tenant's own secret store. At action time, the provider, using a service identity the customer has explicitly consented to, resolves the customer from a management record, authenticates cross-tenant into the customer's secret store, retrieves the credential, exchanges it with the third-party tool, and never persists it provider-side. Capability is signaled fail-closed: a missing or unresolvable configuration returns a distinct "not configured" status that …

Model-Agnostic Search-Augmented Llm Pipelines For Production-Scale Company Data Validation, Enrichment And Normalization, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

This paper presents a vendor-agnostic, search-augmented large language model (LLM) pipeline that validates, enriches, and normalizes company records using grounded information from public web sources. The pipeline addresses enterprise requirements for official names, addresses, tax identifiers, revenue, industry classifications, and related compliance metadata where manual validation, database lookups, and rule-based integration pipelines struggle with incomplete, inconsistent, multilingual, and region-specific inputs. The architecture uses a central control framework to orchestrate native-search and tool-calling web-enabled LLM providers under production constraints, including context limits, tokens-per-minute (TPM), requests-per-minute (RPM), maximum batch size, concurrency, incomplete outputs, safety filtering, and provider-specific response formats. It combines batch-admission …

Resource-Constrained Multiprocessing Packet Pipeline With Shared Configurable Elements, N/A, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

A subsystem for network packet processing uses a pool of shared, configurable processing resources. The architecture includes these shared processing elements, a centralized event processing engine, and a partitionable shared memory. The event processing engine accumulates events from the packet pipeline and forwards them as tasks to the processing elements. These elements, which may be implemented as microcode sequencers, execute writable microcode firmware to perform logical and arithmetic operations and handle interrupts independently of a central processing unit. The processing elements access the shared memory to exchange state and packet data between processing stages. This approach improves resource utilization and …

Method And Apparatus For Reducing Semiconductor Package Warpage During Reflow, N/A, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

The technology generally relates to controlling package warpage during reflow soldering using a temporary support structure. The structure, composed of a glass carrier and a high-coefficient of thermal expansion balance film, is applied to the top surface of a package substrate before the reflow process. As temperature increases during reflow, the high-coefficient of thermal expansion balance film expands or shrinks, inducing a controlled downward deformation that acts as a counter-stress. This action balances the internal stresses that cause package warpage, maintaining a flat profile throughout the reflow cycle. The flat package profile facilitates accurate alignment and bonding of its ball …

Automated Clock Domain Crossing Maximum Delay Constraint Application Using Intermediate Anchor Gates, N/A, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

The technology manages clock domain crossing paths by applying a maximum delay constraint to a designated intermediate anchor gate instead of the final destination flip-flop. The register-transfer level configuration instantiates a specific logic gate, such as a MASK AND gate, as this anchor point and assigns it a standardized name. During compilation, a software script automatically discovers these anchors by name and applies a localized, point-to-point delay constraint directly to the pins of the anchors. This pin-to-pin anchoring decouples the timing constraint from the final sampling logic. This approach results in greater placement flexibility for the destination logic across the …

Memory-Based Lock-Free Inter-Process Communication, Vlad Popa, Andy Hung, Atneya Nair, Mikhail Naganov, Shunkai Yao, Eric Laurent, Jean-Michel Trivi

Defensive Publications Series

A lock-free inter-process communication (IPC) system can utilize shared memory to broadcast system events from a single writer process to multiple reader processes. The system employs a shared memory circular queue and an atomic sequence counter that increments before and after write operations, allowing readers to determine if an active write is occurring. By calculating an active queue index using the sequence counter, reader processes can safely access previously committed historical state data without blocking or busy-waiting. This non-blocking architecture prevents IPC message queue overflows for frozen or suspended background applications, eliminates priority inversion, and avoids the thundering herd problem …

Generative Synthesis Of Context-Aware Media Recaps And Alternative Narratives, Dev Daftari, Akash Verma

Defensive Publications Series

Systems and methods can use generative artificial intelligence to synthesize personalized media content. For example, when a user returns to a series, a system can generate a dynamic recap designed to be spoiler-free based on a user's last-viewed point, for instance, by retrieving relevant plot information from a media knowledge graph. The technology could also generate alternative narrative scenes based on user prompts, for example, by using system guardrails to promote stylistic consistency with the source material. These techniques may provide personalized user interactions, potentially improving viewer re-engagement with serialized content and extending interaction with media franchises within a media …

Disclosed are cascaded resource-recovery architectures organized by a common design rule: each processing stage is sequenced so that the waste liability of the preceding stage becomes the feedstock of the following stage. Three families are disclosed in enabling detail.

(A) A geothermal-desalination-membrane-mineral stack in which geothermal heat drives power generation via an Organic Rankine Cycle, waste heat drives or preheats desalination, and desalination brine -- already filtered and cooled by the desalination pretreatment train -- supplies a pressure-retarded osmosis salinity-gradient power stage. Geothermal brine separately supplies mineral recovery including direct lithium extraction, silica, zinc, manganese, barium and strontium sulfate. The …

Visual Indicators For Voice Access Application Windows And User Interface Components, Katherine Nelle Dektar, Mariah Sigourney Moon, Qian Yan

Defensive Publications Series

This publication describes a new accessibility feature for devices like smartphones, tablets, and computers that makes hands-free navigation and voice control much easier to use. When a person uses spoken audio input or speech commands to operate their device while multiple windows are open, it can be confusing to know exactly which app or screen they are controlling. To solve this, the device automatically figures out which application windows are unoccluded by other application windows on the screen and draws a bright, colorful border (like an accessibility focus ring) around them. This primary visual indicator shows the user exactly where …

Handling Delayed Esim Transfer Via Sm-Ds Push Notification, Chen Xu, Jack Yu, Amruth Ramachandran

Defensive Publications Series

This publication describes an alternative framework for managing delayed embedded Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM) transfers on mobile devices that avoids needing a carrier’s Entitlement Configuration Server (ECS) to manage cloud messaging tokens. During a delayed transfer, a carrier’s Subscription Management Data Preparation (SM-DP+) server notifies a Subscription Management Discovery Service (SM-DS) server when an eSIM profile becomes available. The SM-DS server then triggers a cloud messaging push notification to the mobile device’s Local Profile Assistant (LPA). To ensure a seamless user experience the LPA hides the raw push notification from the user interface. Upon receiving this hidden push notification, the …

Zero-Enrollment Target Speaker Extraction, Zhi Li, Xuelin Huang

Execution-Mode-Dependent Enforcement Of Version-Bound Consent For Delegated Recurring Automation, Alexander Bering

Defensive Publications Series

Disclosed is a species-level arrangement in which one participant's consent to run another participant's shared, versioned automation artefact is bound to the artefact version consented to, and in which the strength with which that binding is enforced depends on how the run was initiated. For machine-initiated recurring runs, the executing component re-checks the recorded version mark itself, unconditionally, before every run; a mismatch does not fail the individual run but moves the standing arrangement into a durable, named parked state in which it never fires again until a human acts. For human-initiated runs, the same mismatch is surfaced only against …

A Channel-Agnostic, Phase-Gated Checkpoint Architecture Coordinating An Autonomous Multi-Agent Content Pipeline Across A Stateful Conversational Interface And A Stateless Asynchronous Interface, Vipul Panday, Manjulika Bajpai

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure documents the architecture of a production system that delivers a multi-step, AI-agent-driven content-production workflow to end users through two fundamentally different interaction surfaces at once: a real-time, stateful conversational interface (a chat bot, which inherently remembers where a conversation left off) and a fully stateless, asynchronous interface (individual links delivered by email, each a fresh, session-less HTTP request with no memory of any prior interaction). The system is architected so that a single, centrally persisted phase field is the sole source of truth for where a given user's in-flight workflow currently stands, with the chat interface consuming that …
