  • Publication number: 20230144387
    Abstract: In an embodiment of the disclosed principles, a method of analyzing a rope to estimate its residual break strength (RBS) is provided. The method entails training a multi-layered neural network to recognize rope damage and estimate an RBS for a rope under study by collecting high-resolution visual data of a plurality of sample ropes, extracting visual features of damaged areas of each rope, resolving each visual feature into a damage type and clustering damage type exemplars, breaking each sample rope to determine an actual RBS for each rope and classifying the visual data via determined RBS, specific to product type/damage mode. Job and product data are entered for the rope under study, the rope is paid out, and high-resolution visual data is captured while spooling back the rope. The correlated data is provided to the multi-layered neural network to generate an estimate of RBS for the rope under study.

  • Patent number: 11152085
    Abstract: Embodiments include a system for providing access to secured data; the system includes a processor configured to perform a method. The method includes receiving physiological data from one or more sensors on a wearable device; obtaining environmental data from the one or more sensors; storing the physiological data and the environmental data from the one or more sensors onto a secured storage device; receiving, by a transceiver, a request to access the physiological data; accessing, by a processor, a security profile for the physiological data, wherein the security profile defines a normal range for the physiological data and defines environmental data compliance; and providing access to the physiological data based upon a determination that the physiological data is outside the normal range for the physiological data and based upon a determination that the environmental data is in compliance with the security profile.

  • Patent number: 10938881
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for providing a dynamic estimation on engagements and patterns of content includes: receiving a data packet from an input field of a form on a computing device; analyzing historical data associated with a user to identify patterns between the first string of characters and the historical data; determining one or more related strings of characters from the historical data based on the identified patterns; determining a historic engagement level for each of the one or more related strings of characters; determining a predicted engagement level for the string of characters based on the historic engagement level; and transmitting at least the predicted engagement level to the computing device to cause the computing device to display the predicted engagement level in a selectable field associated with the input field.

  • Publication number: 20200401788
    Abstract: An image classification model is configured to classify a subject viewed via a multi-camera apparatus. A depth classification model is configured to distinguish between a depth characteristic of a 3D subject and a depth characteristic of a realistic 2D rendering of a 3D subject, using depth information provided by viewing a subject via a multi-camera apparatus. A 2D rendering of a 3D subject is presented as an input to a multi-camera apparatus, the multi-camera apparatus operating the image classification model and the depth classification model. Using the multi-camera apparatus, a first depth information corresponding to the input is collected. The first depth information is provided to the depth classification model. Responsive to the depth classification model classifying the input as a 2D rendering, the 2D rendering is rejected as being the 3D subject.

  • Patent number: 9631739
    Abstract: An apparatus can include a housing, a plunger configured to reciprocate along an axis within the housing, and an internal fluid chamber disposed in the housing. A valve, having a valve base and a deformable seal, can also be included in the apparatus. The apparatus can further include a seat having an aperture therein. The valve is configured to move into and out of contact with the seat when the plunger reciprocates within the housing, based upon a fluid pressure in the internal flow chamber.
