Disclosed subject matter relates generally to image processing that includes a method for detecting drowsiness state of a vehicle user independent of factors such ethnicities, gender and other differences of an individual. A drowsiness detection system receives current images of the vehicle user from an image capturing device in a current time frame. Further, an eye closure ratio of the vehicle user is determined in the current time frame using eye closure parameters extracted from the current images in real-time and a profile of the vehicle user. Further, the eye closure ratio is normalized using a scaling factor computed in real-time using normalizing parameters extracted from the current images in real-time and the profile. Finally, a Percentage Eye Closure (PEC) value of the vehicle user is determined in the current time frame using the normalized eye closure ratio of the vehicle to detect drowsiness state of the vehicle user.

Pal, Shyam Sundar
Abrégé
Method of controlling an autonomous vehicle and a collision avoidance device thereof are disclosed. The method includes gathering obstacle information associated with an obstacle around a current navigation path of the autonomous vehicle and vehicle information associated with the autonomous vehicle. The method further includes determining a relative velocity and a collision distance between the obstacle and the autonomous vehicle and an obstacle state of the obstacle based on an analysis of the obstacle information and the vehicle information. The method includes computing a collision factor based on the relative velocity and the obstacle state. When the collision factor is above a collision threshold, the method further includes stopping the autonomous vehicle before exhausting the collision distance, when at least one alternate navigation path is not available and modifying the current navigation path of the autonomous vehicle, when the at least one alternate navigation path is available.

A computer program for enabling secured, transparent encryption and decryption provides a user interface that allows a user to drag and drop files into and out of a secure repository and automatically encrypts files transferred into the repository and automatically decrypts files transferred out of the repository. The user can transfer file folders into the repository, wherein the program encrypts all of the files within the folder and retains the original file/folder structure, such that individual files can be moved within the repository, moved out of the repository, and opened or executed directly from the repository. The program requires the user to submit biometric data and grants access to the secure repository only if the biometric data is authenticated. The program generates an encryption key based at least in part on biometric data received from the user. Additionally, the program destroys the key after termination of each encryption/decryption session.

Abrégé
An RFID system includes an RFID tag, an RFID reader, and a server. The RFID tag communicates to the server via encrypted information. The information may be encrypted with synchronized encryption keys. In this manner, the reader need not decrypt the information from the RFID tag. The effectiveness of malicious readers is thereby reduced, resulting in improved RFID tag security.

Methods, systems, and apparatus can provide ordered (e.g. ranked) lists of content items as a suggested list of items to watch. The ordered list can be based on feedback from other users. The content items can also be presented (e.g. in a continuous playback mode) to a passive user so that the user does not have to actively select a next item to watch. This passive mode can select a next item (e.g. from a list that is updated based on recent user feedback), and the item can be queued on a client device for playing to a user. Content items can also be provided from different independent servers.

Abrégé
A computer program for enabling secured, transparent encryption and decryption provides a user interface that allows a user to drag and drop files into and out of a secure repository and automatically encrypts files transferred into the repository and automatically decrypts files transferred out of the repository. The user can transfer file folders into the repository, wherein the program encrypts all of the files within the folder and retains the original file/folder structure, such that individual files can be moved within the repository, moved out of the repository, and opened or executed directly from the repository. The program requires the user to submit biometric data and grants access to the secure repository only if the biometric data is authenticated. The program generates an encryption key based at least in part on biometric data received from the user. Additionally, the program destroys the key after termination of each encryption/decryption session.

Methods for creating statistical language models (SLMs) for spoken Completely Automated Turing Tests for Telling Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHAs) are disclosed. In these methods, candidate challenge items including one or more words are automatically selected from a document corpus. Selected ones of the challenge items are articulated by a machine text-to-speech (TTS) system as candidate articulations. Those articulations are ranked based on a human listener score indicating whether a candidate articulation originated from a machine. The SLM is then trained to recognize machine TTS articulations according to those rankings, by using a subset of the plurality of candidate challenge items identified as machine articulations as a seed set.

A data processing system, computer program, and method for providing a response to a statement of a user before receiving a complete user statement involves, in response to receiving a partial user input, calculating for each of a plurality of predefined answerable statements, a metric based on a frequency with which the predefined answerable statement had been selected by previous users. If the metrics for none of the predetermined answerable statements exceed a threshold, the computer sends the user suggested predefined answerable statements. If one of metrics exceeds the threshold, and not otherwise, the computer sends the user information representative of a response to the predefined answerable statement associated with that metric.

Technologies are presented for a hybrid cloud-based service model combining separate database/separate schema, shared database/separate schema, and shared database/shared schema architectures suitable for serving multiple tenants while addressing varying security needs. Roles and security level needs of different tenants may be determined based on tenant declaration or inference from tenant attributes. Tenants may then be assigned to suitable clouds or sub-clouds based on their security level needs. In some examples, a claims-based access control authorization model such as federation may be employed to support interactions between the three different types of clouds or sub-clouds under the umbrella of a single cloud-based service provider while maintaining application and data security.

The present self-configuring alarm network uses a decentralized (ad hoc or mesh) architecture that does not have a centralized “master” node. In this ad hoc network, any node is capable of behaving as if it were the “master node” by autonomously reporting the alarm event directly to all other nodes in the ad hoc network independent of where the alarm event occurred. The network of alarm devices, therefore, can spread the alarm indication to the entirety of the area covered by the network of alarm devices and can also differentiate between a general alarm indication and the locus of the alarm event.
