  • Patent number: 11966948
    Abstract: Online advertisers may demand compliance with certain standards for the content of emails and other digital content with which its advertisements may be associated. Emails may contain control objects directing users to a web page showing content related to oil change coupons. However, in some systems, methods, and processes, a small variable proportion of users may instead be directed to a different sequence of pages to conduct a compliance check on the contents of the email received by the user. The compliance check sequence of pages may offer the user an incentive to forward the email to a specified email address for subsequent compliance review. Delivery of an incentive may be conditioned on successful receipt of the forwarded email.

  • Publication number: 20240122566
    Abstract: A dual energy x-ray imaging system and method of operation includes an artificial intelligence-based motion correction system to minimize the effects of motion artifacts in images produced by the imaging system. The motion correction system is trained to apply simulated motion to various objects of interest within the LE and HE projections in the training dataset to improve registration of the LE and HE projections. The motion correction system is also trained to enhance the correction of small motion artifacts using noise attenuation and subtraction image-based edge detection on the training dataset images reduce noise from the LE projection, consequently improving small motion artifact correction. The motion correction system additionally employs separate motion corrections for soft and bone tissue in forming subtraction soft tissue and bone tissue images, and includes a motion alarm to indicate when motion between LE and HE projections requires a retake of the projections.

  • Patent number: 11947891
    Abstract: Methods and systems for circuit design are described. A tool may detect a timing violation on a signal path connected to a local clock buffer in a circuit model. The local clock buffer may be configured to generate a first clock signal having a first pulse width. The tool may determine a first metric associated with a first type of timing violation, and may determine a second metric associated with a second type of timing violation different from the first type of timing violation. The detected timing violation may be one of the first type and second type of timing violations. The tool may, based on the first metric and the second metric, determine whether to retain the generation of the first clock signal or to configure the local clock buffer to generate a second clock signal having a second pulse width different from the first pulse width.

  • Publication number: 20240096199
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for facilitating disabling an alarm in response to particular types of activity-indicative data. More specifically, activity-indicative data (e.g., measurements obtained by an electronic device) can be detected prior to a preset alarm time. Upon determining, based on the activity-indicative data, that a wakefulness condition is satisfied, the alarm can be disabled such that the alarm stimuli is not to be presented at the preset alarm time.

  • Publication number: 20230305552
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for correction of sensors in an industrial process. A first sensor provides first data corresponding to measured variables for at least one respective process component, which are further aggregated in data storage with corresponding contextual tags comprising time series identifiers. For a given sample from the industrial process, at least the first data having a corresponding time series identifier are obtained for comparison with second data collected via a second sensor and which comprises measured variables corresponding to the at least one respective process component from the given sample. A feedback signal is selectively generated based on a determined error between the collected first data and the collected second data corresponding to the given sample, and may in an embodiment be used for automatically calibrating the first sensor. The feedback signal may further or alternatively be used to prompt interventions in the first sensor.

  • Patent number: 11644390
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for contextual data analysis and proactive intervention in industrial plant processes. Each of multiple data streams in an industrial plant are mapped to a common hierarchical data structure, wherein the data streams correspond to respective values or states associated with unit operations, assets, and process streams in the plant. The mapped data streams define hierarchical process relationships between subsets of the unit operations, assets, and process streams. Real-time data is collected to populate at least one level of the hierarchical data structure for certain data streams, wherein future outcomes are predicted for downstream operations based on the collected real-time data for at least one data stream, and at least one other data stream having a defined hierarchical process relationship therewith.
