The number of documented supply chain attacks has increased over six times nowadays, and the types of supply chain attacks have diversified. Organizations grant suppliers privileged user accounts to perform their tasks which hold the keys to unlocking internal networks. Privilege escalation is a key step for attackers to penetrate a target system network, which makes privileged user accounts attractive to adversaries. This study employs unsupervised machine learning techniques to profile privileged users’ normal behaviors and develops a risk score function to identify their anomalies. The proposed solution has been evaluated with real data, and the experimental results demonstrate that it could discover the anomalies efficiently.

A wideband amplifier designed in a 180-nm SiGe BiCMOS process technology for cryogenic applications is proposed in this conference paper. By using the common-base stage as the input stage and the emitter follower as the final stage, it can have a wideband input/output matching. The proposed amplifier had been test at room temperature by probing test and in a 4K environment by on-board test and it achieved a peak measured gain of 18.95 dB at room temperature and 25 dB gain at 4K. The measured lowest noise Figure (NF) is between 5.8 to 6.4 dB at room temperature. The proposed circuit draws a 13.52 mW dc-power at room temperature and 12.95 mW at 4K from a 2.0-V supply.

Point cloud registration involves the task of finding the alignment between pairs of point clouds. Recently, deep learning-based approaches have been shown to achieve more accurate results due to the enhanced feature extraction and correspondence matching mechanisms. Most of the deep learning-based approaches estimate the registration parameters directly without explicitly estimating correspondences. Instead, the correspondences are learned implicitly while networks are trained, and the loss functions used are mostly related to errors of registration parameters. RPMNet, one of the state-of-the-art registration methods, includes an additional component in the loss function to maximize the sum of inlier probabilities in order to prevent the problem of labeling most points as outliers. In this paper, we propose to improve the RPMNet through the modification of the loss function by replacing the sum of inlier probabilities with the sum of maximal matching probabilities, with the purpose of increasing the probability of correct correspondence and thus enhancing the registration performance. Simulation results demonstrate that an order of magnitude improvement can be achieved by the proposed method.

Concealed pipes are widely used to transport water, air, natural gas, and sewage in buildings. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for designing concealed pipes in buildings such that the productivity of construction industry is enhanced. When routing concealed pipes in a building, the walls, floors, and ceilings form the workspace of the piping computation. We treat these slabs as vertices and generate edges between them, based on their connectivity. Consequently, the frame of the building is encoded in a graph, which constitutes the top-level representation of the workspace. Then all the slabs are divided into voxels by using regular grids, and the bottom-level representation of the workspace is created. The pathfinding of a pipe is carried out in two stages. First, the routing process generates a shortest path in the top-level graph to identify the slabs penetrated by the pipe. Then, the routing process creates the detail pipe path by using the voxels of these slabs in the bottom-level representation. Once this pipe has been constructed, the voxels occupied by it are deleted from the workspace and the routing computation is repeated to arrange other pipes.

It is a promising approach to include Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) and DRAM together as the main memory to provide huge memory space for large objects and guarantee short access latency for frequent writes and reads. To provide feasible and suitable memory allocation for all applications on a sever, our solution analyzes applications to derive the read-write ratio, memory footprint, and access pattern of each application. Heterogenous memory allocation scheme is then developed to reduce the makespan of batch jobs.

The Monte Carlo rendering method requires sampling an additional spectral domain to produce advanced light phenomena like chromatic dispersion. However, this extension can lead to chromatic noise and slow convergence, which can be partially addressed through proper sample distribution. In this paper, we introduce a multiple wavelength sampling method that focuses on refractive dispersion effects for a single path. By combining the idea of line sampling used in direct illumination with the specular chain’s property, we find a continuous solution space that we call the spectral interval. We then perform an analytical integration for incoming spectral radiance within this interval. This allows us to achieve low variance and reduced noise at a lower cost compared to naive sampling methods. Finally, our method can be integrated into existing Monte Carlo methods built within path space.

This study proposed a deep learning-based approach to recognize various types of objects in images and generate optimal straight-line segments for mobile robots to perform heading corrections in complex environments. Object detection, based on a circular convolutional network framework, was utilized to identify various objects, such as watering strips, lettuce crops, or field furrows, in both the upper and lower regions of the image. Following the processing of multiple images, the center points of objects belonging to the same category were extracted, and a regression analysis method was used to generate a straight line. The slopes of these line segments are estimated, and the average value is calculated alïer determining the heading angle with the vertical line segment in the image through trigonometric operation. The flexibility and robustness of the straight-line detection system are enhanced by using the proposed approach.
