Publication number: 20240070548Abstract: Systems and methods for preventing machine learning models from negatively affecting mobile devices are provided. For example, a mobile device including a camera, memory devices, and one or more processors are provided. In some embodiments, the processors may be configured to provide images captured by the camera to a machine learning model at a first rate. The processors may also be configured to determine whether one or more of the images includes an object. If one or more of the images includes the object, the processors may be further configured to adjust the first rate of providing the images to the machine learning model to a second rate, and in some embodiments, determine whether to adjust the second rate of providing the images to the machine learning model to a third rate based on output received from the machine learning model.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Micah PRICE, Sunil Subrahmanyam VASISHT, Stephen Michael WYLIE, Geoffrey DAGLEY, Qiaochu TANG, Jason Richard HOOVER

Patent number: 11781226Abstract: In a method for cathodically protecting and/or passivating a metal section in an ionically conductive material such as steel reinforcement in concrete or mortar, an impressed current or sacrificial anode communicates ionic current to the metal section and a storage component of electrical energy which can be a cell, battery or capacitor is provided as a component of the anode. A current limiter is provided which prevents excess current draining the supply. This can be a semi-conductive device such as a transistor or diode is connected in the path from the anode to the metal section to limit the cathodic protection current to a value of the order of 1 milliamp. When a diode or similar device is used the current can be limited to the reverse leakage current of the diode.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2020Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Vector Remediation Ltd.Inventors: David William Whitmore, Geoffrey Richard Child
