Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for identifying the structure of patterns and anomalies in flow of events from the cyber-physical system or information system. In one aspect, an exemplary method comprises, using at least one connector, getting event data, generating at least one episode consisting of a sequence of events, and transferring the generated episodes to an event processor; and using the event processor, process episodes using a neurosemantic network, wherein the processing includes recognizing events and patterns previously learned by the neurosemantic network, training the neurosemantic network, identifying a structure of patterns by mapping to the patterns of neurons on a hierarchy of layers of the neurosemantic network, attributing events and patterns corresponding to neurons of the neurosemantic network to an anomaly depending on a number of activations of the corresponding neuron, and storing the state of the neurosemantic network.

Abstract: There are provided computerized systems and methods for detection of objects in a one or more images or video frames, which require reduced power or computational cost compared to existing methods. The proposed approach uses a set of per frame detection anchors which are split into a primary sub-set and one or more secondary sub-sets. For each key frame a full detection process for each of the detection anchors in primary subset is performed, determining for each detection anchor whether it corresponds to a detected object, and updating a detected object data structure accordingly. For each non ‘key-frame’, a history based fast detection process for each of the detection anchors in the primary subset is performed, where it is first determined whether a criterion for temporal based early exit is met and whether the detection anchor corresponds to a detected object and updating the detected object data structure according to detection results.

Abstract: A vehicle takes and evaluates an image of the surroundings of the vehicle. If the result of the evaluation is that the image possibly contains a static object that could be suitable as a landmark, then the image and a position of the vehicle ascertained by the vehicle at the location at which the image is taken are transmitted to a data processing station. Image analysis of the received image allows the data processing station to establish whether the supposedly static object is suitable as a landmark. When the object has been verified as a landmark, the data processing station creates a data record describing the object, which data record is transmitted to the vehicle.

Abstract: A negative ion-based neutral beam injector comprising a negative ion source, accelerator and neutralizer to produce about a 5 MW neutral beam with energy of about 0.50 to 1.0 MeV. The ions produced by the ion source are pre-accelerated before injection into a high energy accelerator by an electrostatic multi-aperture grid pre-accelerator, which is used to extract ion beams from the plasma and accelerate to some fraction of the required beam energy. The beam from the ion source passes through a pair of deflecting magnets, which enable the beam to shift off axis before entering the high energy accelerator. After acceleration to full energy, the beam enters the neutralizer where it is partially converted into a neutral beam. The remaining ion species are separated by a magnet and directed into electrostatic energy converters. The neutral beam passes through a gate valve and enters a plasma chamber.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for per-application network traffic monitoring by extending socket functionality to include socket wrappers able to identify network traffic volume, applications responsible for the traffic, the network being loaded, and distinguish between internal device traffic and external network traffic. Network traffic shaping can then be carried out by managing an offending application's traffic. A disclosed method includes loading a call intercept library prior to loading any core libraries of an operating system, calling a socket wrapper, calling a socket by way of functions of at least one of the core libraries, and receiving at least one data packet, from a responding application external to the communications device, at the socket. The method may also include trapping a call, to read the at least one data packet; and releasing the call to the socket so the data packet is read by the destination application.
