  • Patent number: 11580389
    Abstract: A dynamic graph includes a plurality of nodes and edges at a plurality of time steps; each node corresponds to a geographic location in a first area where pest infestation information is available for a subset of locations. Each edge connects two of the nodes which are geographically proximate, has a direction based on wind direction, and has a weight based on relative wind speed. Assign node features based on weather data as well as labels corresponding to pest infestation severity. Train a graph convolutional network on the dynamic graph. Based on predicted future weather conditions for a second area different than the first area, use the trained graph convolutional network to predict, via inductive learning, pest infestation severity for future times for a new set of nodes corresponding to new geographic locations in the second area for which no pest infestation information is available.

  • Patent number: 11575585
    Abstract: A communication system provides multimedia communications within and between armored ground combat vehicles (GCVs). The system includes client computers within the armored GCVs providing distributed and interconnected multimedia communications among the client computers. The multimedia communication may include a one-to-one communication, a text communication to a group, an audio communication to a group, or a video communication to a group. Logic providing the distributed and interconnected multimedia communications is not located at a single client computer. The client computers display graphical user interfaces (GUIs) enabling soldiers to select parameters of the communication system with some GUIs providing presence discovery among the armored GCVs. One of the plurality of client computers acts as an origination station and other client computers may be configured as receiving communication station(s).

  • Patent number: 11564573
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described herein for a communication bus that virtualizes physiological data. Sensors and/or physiological data acquisition devices have different physical connectors which provide physiological data from a patient to a shared interface such as a display or patient monitor. A transfer interface within a mount can receive and interpret data streams associated with one or more physiological data acquisition devices. The transfer interface can prioritize the various data streams associated with the one or more physiological data acquisition devices and generate a single, combined data stream based on the assigned prioritization. The transfer interface can provide the combined data stream for transmission to a patient monitor via an interchangeable transport medium. Another transfer interface can process and/or virtualize the data streams from the physiological data acquisition devices.

  • Patent number: 11405289
    Abstract: Introduced here are network visibility appliances capable of implementing a distributed deduplication scheme by routing traffic amongst multiple instances of a deduplication program. Data traffic can be forwarded to a pool of multiple network visibility appliances that collectively ensure no duplicate copies of data packets exist in the data traffic. The network visibility appliances can route the traffic to different instances of the deduplication program so that duplicate copies of a data packet are guaranteed to arrive at the same instance of the deduplication program, regardless of which network visibility appliance(s) initially received the duplicate copies of the data packet.
