| − | This abstract describes a method for securely authenticating users using biometric recognition systems. The method involves receiving a biometric identifier and knowledge-based secondary information from the user. A Voronoi cell identifier is determined based on the biometric identifier, and a hash of the Voronoi cell identifier and the secondary information is calculated. This hash is then sent to a server for verification. The server responds with whether the hash matches a previously stored hash, and based on this response, the user is either automatically authenticated or not.

| − | This abstract describes a method for securing messages in a message service. The method involves checking the digital signature of the message's author to ensure its validity. It also checks if the user is listed as a recipient of the message. If the signature is valid and the user is a recipient, the message is delivered to the user's device. If the signature is valid but the user is not a recipient, the user is alerted about the message.

| − | '''Abstract'''
| |
| − | A method for securing messages includes obtaining, at a message server, a message for a user of a message service hosted by the message server. The message includes a header and the header includes a digital signature signed by an author of the message and a list of one or more recipients of the message. The method includes determining whether the digital signature by the author is valid and determining, using the list of one or more recipients, whether the user is a declared recipient of the message. When the digital signature by the author is valid and the user is the declared recipient of the message, the method includes delivering the message to a user device of the user. When the digital signature by the author is valid and the user is not the declared recipient of the message, the method includes alerting the user.

| − | This abstract describes a method for controlling the flow rate of data communications in a network. When a request-to-send (RTS) signal is received from a second node indicating the size of the data transmission, the first node checks if a rate-limiting counter is above zero. If it is, the first node schedules a clear-to-send (CTS) signal to be sent back to the second node. The first node then subtracts the size of the data transmission from the rate-limiting counter. This method helps regulate the flow of data between nodes in the network.

| − | This abstract describes a system where a server sends a game frame to a client system over a network in the form of packets. The server uses the size of the game frame and timing data of the transmitted packets to estimate the available bandwidth. It then compares this estimate to the current video bitrate of the game stream being sent to the client. If the network is underutilized, the server increases the encoding bitrate, and if it is overutilized, the server decreases the encoding bitrate.

| − | '''Abstract'''
| |
| − | A server transmits an encoded game frame over a network to a respective client system as a set of packets. In response to transmitting the set of packets, the server determines a bandwidth estimate based on the size of the encoded game frame and the timing data associated with the transmitted set of packets. The server then compares the bandwidth estimate to a current video bitrate of the game stream being transmitted from the server to the respective client device. In response to the comparison indicating an underutilization of the network, the server increases the encoding bitrate. Further, in response to the comparison indication an overutilization of the network, the server decreases the encoding bitrate.

| − | This abstract describes a method for determining specific regions in a video where viewers are likely to stop watching. The method involves inputting video features into a trained model that can identify these regions. The model is trained using labeled data from other videos that have known watch time loss regions. When a new video's features are inputted into the model, it can provide data on the watch time loss regions for that video. This information can then be used by the entity providing the video to improve user experience.

In one aspect, features for a video are input into a trained model that is trained to output watch time loss regions. The trained model is trained using labels corresponding to known watch time loss regions in training videos and features of training videos that correspond to the known watch time loss regions. A watch time loss region defines a time window of a video during which a likelihood of a user stopping playback of the video is more than a threshold likelihood. In response to inputting the feature for the first video into the trained model, data regarding watch time loss regions for the video is obtained from the model and provided to an entity involved in providing the video to a user.

| |
| − | This document describes a system that allows users to switch camera modes by performing a drag gesture on a touchscreen. The system provides visual feedback to indicate the progress towards reaching the desired threshold for the gesture. Once the threshold is met, the camera mode is switched, allowing the user to capture moments that were previously missed.

| |
| − | '''Abstract'''
| |
| − | This document describes techniques and systems that enable an interface for communicating a threshold in a camera. An electronic device recognizes an in-camera, drag gesture that triggers a camera application to switch modes from a real-time display mode (displaying real-time preview images in a viewfinder) to a buffer-display mode, which displays frames recorded in the camera buffer. During the motion of the drag gesture, the electronic device provides dynamic visual feedback indicating a relation between a drag distance of the drag gesture and a target threshold for the drag gesture. For simplicity and conciseness, the visual feedback can be combined with the virtual shutter control. After meeting the threshold, the user releases the touch input of the drag gesture and the system triggers the camera application to switch modes. This allows capture of a “missed” moment that was recorded in the camera buffer but not stored in non-volatile memory.

| − | The abstract discusses a technique for estimating surface normals and reflectance from poorly-lit images. This technique involves using both an RGB image and an image illuminated with near-infrared (NIR) radiation. By comparing these two images, the albedo (reflectance) and surface normal maps of the subject can be determined. This information can then be used to perform image relighting. The RGB and NIR images should be captured from the same perspective. A prediction engine can be used to estimate surface normals and reflectance using just a single RGB image and a single NIR image of the subject.

In some implementations, a prediction engine takes as input a single RGB image and a single NIR image and estimates surface normals and reflectance from the subject.
