Publication number: 20240176603Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to translating application calls for on-device machine learning execution. A translation layer supports on-device machine learning execution by translating JavaScript software application call data to achieve interoperability with on-device machine learning models. For example, JavaScript software applications interact with data, such as images, audio, video, and/or text, in a format or data type that is compatible with the application. On the other hand, machine learning models interact with data in a form conducive to mathematical operations, such as a data structure representation (e.g., tensor representation). Implementations translate data types and/or data files to provide compatible data to each of a native JavaScript software application and on-device machine learning models.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2022Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Roman Georg RAEDLE, Christopher Robert Harper KLAIBER, Yinglao LIU, Shiyong FANG, Pranav DESHPANDE, Hung Shek NGAN, Anoop Kumar SINHA

Patent number: 11995206Abstract: A breach detection engine detects and mitigates the effects of breaches across one or more data sources. An index is generated based on one or more data sources and the index is queried using keywords indicative of potential breaches. A database of potential breaches is populated based on the query of the index. The potential breach database is queried using keywords associated with a system identity (e.g., a third party). A likelihood of a candidate breach is identified based on a set of breach criteria weights. A network node associated with a candidate breach determined to be an actual breach is identified for isolation or for the performance of one or more additional security actions.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2023Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: UPGUARD, INC.Inventors: Alan James Sharp-Paul, Christopher Robert Vickery, Jonathan David Hendren, Gregory Ford Pollock, Daniel Bradbury, Christian Alan Kiely, Gavin Richard Turner, Michael Franz Baukes

Publication number: 20240169359Abstract: An item return transaction for an item is identified at a transaction terminal. The item is authenticated using multiple factors at least some of which are independent of item code identification for the item. A fraud score is calculated based on the multiple factors, item code identification, and data that is specific to a customer associated with the transaction, specific to the item, specific to a store associated with the transaction terminal, and specific to a retailer associated with the store. The fraud score and a customer-return grade for the customer are processed to determine whether the transaction can complete at the terminal without assistance or whether the transaction is to be held in abeyance for an audit (onsite audit or remote network-based audit). In an embodiment, the t terminal is a Self-Service Terminal (SST) and the transaction is a self-item return transaction conducted by a customer at the terminal.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2023Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Jodessiah Sumpter, Matthew Robert Burris, Christopher John Costello, Caleb Wayne Martinez

Patent number: 11987351Abstract: A tailsitter aircraft for deploying a tow line includes an airframe having wings with pylons extending therebetween and a thrust array attached to the airframe, the thrust array including propulsion assemblies configured to transition the airframe between a forward flight orientation and a VTOL orientation. The tailsitter aircraft includes an attenuation spool coupled to the airframe and an attenuation cable having a first end coupled to the attenuation spool and a second end coupled to the tow line, the attenuation cable partially or fully wound around the attenuation spool. The tailsitter aircraft also includes a spool sensor to detect movement of the attenuation spool and a flight control system implementing a tow line tension monitoring module in communication with the spool sensor to determine a tow line tension parameter and a tow line tension reaction module to initiate an aircraft response based on the tow line tension parameter.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2022Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Textron Innovations Inc.Inventors: Russell C.

Publication number: 20240157287Abstract: A scrubbing solution for removing contaminants, including particularly hydrogen sulfide, from a fluid. The scrubbing solution includes at least one scrubbing reagent which has a primary or secondary amine and an acid, which may be phosphoric acid. The fluid being scrubbed is passed through the scrubbing solution. The contaminants react with the scrubbing reagent securing them in the scrubbing solution. The fluid being scrubbed and the scrubbing solution are then separated. The scrubbing solution is heated and, if the scrubbing solution is under pressure, the pressure is reduced. The acid facilitates thorough removal of the contaminants, and especially the hydrogen sulfide, from the scrubbing solution. The scrubbing solution is then ready for reuse. Because the scrubbing solution is rendered substantially free of hydrogen sulfides, it can absorb other sulfide contaminants that might not otherwise be absorbed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: ERIC MATTHEW TELETZKE, FLAVIA MARIANA DOS SANTOS BATES, BRETT CHRISTOPHER ROBERTS, ERIK JOHN STEWART, KATHLEEN YVONNE TURK
