Abstract:
Techniques for modifying a transmission rate of a device having a plurality of transmission rate options are described herein. The techniques include a method comprising receiving data from a sensor indicating movement of an electronic device, the electronic device having a plurality of transmission rate options. Fail ratio metrics are gathered. The fail ratio metrics indicate a ratio of failed transmissions to successful transmissions for rate option during device movement. The method includes determining whether a given rate option has a fail ratio above a predetermined threshold; and, if so, disabling the given rate option while the device is moving.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for automatically configuring a mobile device. A mobile device can include a touch sensitive display, a processor, and a plurality of sensors to collect sensor data associated with the mobile device. The mobile device may establish an orientation of the mobile device relative to a user of the mobile device based on the sensor data. The mobile device may then determine a usage context for the mobile device based at least on the established orientation of the mobile device relative to the user. Furthermore, the mobile device may configure one or more components of the mobile device based on the determined usage context.
Abstract:
A serial data link is to be adapted during initialization of the link. Adaptation of the link is to include receiving a pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS) from a remote agent, analyzing the PRBS to identify characteristics of the data link, and generating metric data describing the characteristics.
Abstract:
Technologies for device management in metaverse interactions are disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, a compute device is connected to remote compute devices in a metaverse. The compute device may detect local devices, such as by seeing a device in images captured by a camera of the compute device. The local device may be, e.g., a cell phone or smartwatch. The local devices may be registered by the compute device and reproduced in the metaverse. The local user of the compute device may interface with the local devices in the metaverse. The local user may allow remote users to interface or control the local device as well.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to operate closed-lid portable computers are disclosed. An example portable computer includes a first display on a lid of the portable computer, the first display to be deactivated when the lid is in a closed position; a second display distinct from the first display, the second display to be visible when the lid is in the closed position; instructions; and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to cause activation of the first display in response to a user interaction with the second display while the lid is in the closed position.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for detecting an identifier communication from a writing implement and transitioning a previously modified interior page of an electronic notepad from a locked state to an unlocked state if the identifier communication corresponds to one or more stored identifiers. Moreover, a plurality of additional interior pages of the electronic notepad may be maintained in the locked state while the previously modified interior page is in the unlocked state.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for multi-modal user device authentication are disclosed. An example electronic device includes a first sensor, a microphone, a first camera, and a confidence analyzer to authenticate a subject as the authorized user in response to a user presence detection analyzer detecting a presence of the subject and one or more of (a) an audio data analyzer detecting a voice of an authorized user or (b) an image data analyzer detecting a feature of the authorized user. The example electronic device includes a processor to cause the electronic device to move from a first power state to a second power state in response to the confidence analyzer authenticating the user as the authorized user. The electronic device is to consume a greater amount of power in the second power state than the first power state.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to migrate cloud-based workloads are disclosed. An example instructions cause one or more processors to at least execute the instructions to: intercept a call to identify a requested domain to a server; adjust the domain; in response to determining that the adjusted domain resolves, transmit a request to execute a workload scheduled to be executed at the server; load a container corresponding to the workload based on a response from the server; and route a target internet protocol (IP) address resolved by the request domain to the locally loaded container.
