Abstract: An experience rating and skill discovery system (ERSDS) and a method for determining credibility of experience ratings provided by one or more reviewers and discovering skills of opportunity seekers based on a relationship between the reviewers and the opportunity seekers are provided. A skill profile module of the ERSDS reads profile data from a user profile list and generates a skills profile list. An invitation module transmits invitations to reviewer devices for providing the experience ratings.

Abstract: Embodiments of this disclosure disclose provisioning a cloud service on a vehicle. The method may include, in response to receiving a registration request for cloud services for a vehicle and determining a geographical location of the vehicle based on the registration request. The method may further include identifying cloud services available to the geographical location and extracting capability information of the vehicle from real time series data of the vehicle. The method may further include determining cloud services applicable to the vehicle from the cloud services available to the geographical location based on the extracted capability information of the vehicle and in response to receiving a service subscription request from the vehicle, provisioning on the vehicle a cloud service applicable to the vehicle corresponding to the service subscription request.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, a computer program product, and a computer system for a drone-based network vulnerability detection system. According to embodiments of the present invention, a drone receives routes and protocols for detecting and resolving network vulnerabilities. The drone identifies one or more electronic devices connected to one or more networks within an area of interest and detects one or more network vulnerabilities of the one or more electronic devices. If the drone detects a vulnerability, the drone updates a command center and identifies a resolution to the one or more network vulnerabilities. The drone then resolves the one or more network vulnerabilities based on the identified resolution.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for dynamically controlling requestor device queues by monitoring and utilizing the throughput rate of matched provider devices and requestor devices. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems determine throughput rate of matched provider devices and requestor devices in real-time and/or predicts throughput rate utilizing historical features of a particular location. The disclosed systems can generate and provide queue request notifications to requestor devices based on a throughput rate at the location. Specifically, the disclosed systems can monitor a current queue status over time, compare the queue status to a queue threshold, and dynamically generate queue request notifications that reflects throughput-based queue modifiers as the current queue status approaches the queue threshold.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) survey system and methods for surveying an area of interest are disclosed. The system can include a plurality of docking stations positioned at predetermined locations within the area of interest, each docking station comprising a platform to support a UAV while docked at the docking station; a battery charger; and a communications interface; a plurality of UAVs distributed among the plurality of docking stations, each UAV comprising a communications interface; and a system controller comprising a processor and transmitter communicatively coupled to the plurality of UAVs.

Abstract: Provided herein is a Mooring Line Restrainer capable of withstanding the whiplash from the impact of a snapped mooring line, and including a contoured Restraining Member shaped to engage and restrain snapped mooring lines and incorporating a single or multi-turn spring, mounted on a framework attached to one or more support bases. At least one of the support bases is a magnetic holding device adequate for different sizes of mooring lines, for securely and strongly fixing the Mooring Line Restrainers on the deck of a ship at appropriate positions along and on either sides of the mooring lines as per a mooring layout plan. The support bases have provisions for interlinking the plurality of adjacent or alternate Mooring Line Restrainers for forming a strong structure around the mooring lines for confining and restraining any snapped mooring lines within a narrow zone around their pre-snapped positions on the ship's deck.

Abstract: A vertical take-off and landing aircraft includes a fixed wing airframe having opposed left and right wings extending from left and right sides, respectively, of a fuselage having opposed leading and trailing extremities and an empennage located behind the trailing extremity. Four fixed, open and horizontal, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) thrust rotors are mounted to the airframe in a quadrotor pattern for providing vertical lift to the aircraft, and a vertical, forward thrust rotor is mounted to the trailing extremity of the fuselage between the trailing extremity of the fuselage and the empennage for providing forward thrust to the aircraft. The four VTOL thrust rotors are coplanar being and operating in a common plane that is parallel relative to, and being level with, top surfaces of the left and right wings in and around a region of each of the four VTOL thrust rotors.

Abstract: Intubation is a potentially dangerous invasive procedure with many plausible errors, such as over-inflation of a cuff and insertion of an intubation tube in the wrong lumen, potentially resulting in a patient's internal bleeding, suffocation, or even death. An intubation aide according to example embodiments of the present invention allows intubation of a patient, while eliminating potential injury to the patient, increasing accuracy and reliability of the placement of the intubation tube, and drastically decreasing procedural time. Within moments of insertion of the device into a patient, the medical caregiver knows, with complete certainty, the location of the intubation device without applying traditional time-consuming tasks. Embodiments also provide patient safety, if intubated for a prolonged periods, by regulating an inflation pressure of the cuff. The intubation aide can also be used for training purposes and is ideal for intubation in hospital and field settings.

Abstract: This invention relates to a system for disabling a cellphone in the presence of certain conditions, and for switching it off in the presence of some other conditions, while allowing its use in the normal fashion in the absence of these two sets of conditions. Thus, this system regulates cellphone use in accordance with specified restrictions in specific locations, and allows its normal functioning when these restrictions are not required. Specifically, a first condition is an attempt to operate a cellphone by the driver of a vehicle having its ignition on and/or moving above a certain speed. In such a condition the system would automatically disable the OK switch of a cellphone and may also perform the CALL END function. In the second condition the system automatically switches off any cellphone in the ON condition being carried on the person of an individual occupying a seat in an aircraft, or a committee room, or any other such location where such a restriction is envisaged.
