Title: Combined security and QOS coordination among devices
Inventor: DIRK BOLTE
IPC: H04W12/10
Filed: 2016-06-10
Abstract: A method includes establishing a wireless link between a wireless interface of an endpoint and a Wireless Access Point WAP. Network traffic is exchanged through the link associated with execution of an application at the endpoint. At the endpoint, a security routine to monitor a security status is executed. Through the wireless link, a secure channel is established which shares the wireless link with the network traffic of the application. The secure channel extends from the security routine to a supervisor through the wireless link and the WAP and conveys, from the security routine and through the secure channel, an indication of the security status. At the security routine and through the secure channel, a command to change a setting of the wireless interface associated with a characteristic of the wireless link is received and accessing, from the security routine, the wireless interface to effect the change in response to receiving the command. A further embodiment describes reporting a WAP security status to the network and adjusting network parameters accordingly. Mention is also made of monitoring performance of a wireless link and changing settings based on monitored performance.

Title: Lossless compression of sorted data
Inventor: ANDY NERCESSIAN
IPC: H03M7/40
Filed: 2020-05-16
Abstract: The invention compresses strings (e.g. Alex, Alice, Aline, Avery, Bev) of symbols/characters/letters taken from finite alphabets (e.g. the Roman alphabet). The strings are arranged in a matrix grid and sorted, probably into alphabetic/lexicographic order. The invention then operates on characters one column at a time (i.e. all the first characters [AAAAB], all the second characters [lllve], etc.) which follows the direction of sorting. The embodiment identifies blocks in the second and subsequent columns where the characters in preceding columns are identical, and thus the letters are subject to alphabetic ordering (e.g. the 3 rows starting Alex, Alice, Aline). It then calculates character probabilities based on the alphabetic constraint (i.e. letters earlier in the alphabet are ignored) and uses them for compression/encoding, probably arithmetic encoding. The invention may also determine when this approach is unlikely to be efficient and switch to alternative encoding schemes.

A first value indicating a first projected ROP of a drill bit can be determined by providing the surface data as input to a first machine-learning model. A second value indicating a second projected ROP of the drill bit can be determined by providing the downhole data as input to a second machine-learning model. A third value indicating a third projected ROP of the drill bit can be determined by providing the first value and the second value input to a third machine-learning model. An operating characteristic of a well tool can be adjusted based on the third value.

Title: System and method for analysing data
Inventor: NGAI LAM ALVIN CHAN
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 2021-04-27
Abstract: A method for analysing data involves receiving raw data from one or more source databases, defining one or more key metrics for the raw data, determining metadata or the raw data based on the defined key metrics, and generating a time-series query with a desired frequency based on the metadata. The key metrics may relate to business information such as expenditure, revenue, click through rate, conversion rate, or growth rate. Further, the generated time-series query is processed against available time-series performance data to detect one or more anomalies present in the key metrics. An anomaly status and severity associated with the detected anomalies is determined for the generated time-series query. A forecasting model is generated for the key metrics by adjusting the generated time-series query based on the anomaly status and severity.
