  • Patent number: 10992632
    Abstract: Evaluating messaging content on a computer-based communications network includes classifying, using computer hardware, a response to a message previously rated by a user. The message, the response to the message, and the rating by the user can each be provided on the computer-based communications network. Evaluating messaging content also includes automatically changing, with the computer hardware, the rating of the message when the classifying of the response results in a classification that satisfies a predefined rating change condition.

  • Patent number: 10465750
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a sliding member, a rolling bearing, and a cage each having a sliding surface excellent in a sliding property thereof even in the presence of lubricating oil and under conditions of a high sliding speed and a high contact pressure. The sliding member is used under an oil lubrication environment and has a sliding layer formed on an iron-based metal material. The sliding layer consists of a foundation layer including heat-resistant resin and a first fluororesin layer both formed on a surface of the iron-based metal material. A second fluororesin layer is formed on a surface of the foundation layer. After the foundation layer and the second fluororesin layer are calcined, the second fluororesin layer is irradiated with radiation rays. The heat-resistant resin does not thermally decompose when the foundation layer and the second fluororesin layer are calcined.

  • Patent number: 10310918
    Abstract: A method executed by a mobile apparatus for verifying event information to be shared is disclosed. The method includes communicating with a nearby mobile or immobile apparatus to generate a verification in response to encountering the nearby mobile or immobile apparatus. The method also includes verifying existence of an incident event in response to arriving at a place of the incident event. The method further includes publishing a verified incident event in order to add into an incident event distributed ledger used for managing event information related to the incident event.

  • Patent number: 10295350
    Abstract: A request for a route guide to a destination in a building is received from a user terminal device. BIM data for the building is received, including material properties of the building elements, the material properties consisting of ease of slipping when wet, earthquake resistance, and flame retardancy base values. Security information for a route, real-time information for building status, and a user profile are received. A route guide to the destination in the building is created, based the BIM data, security information, real-time building status, and the user profile. Information from one or more environmental sensors is received indicating that an environmental event has been detected. Its current position is received from the user terminal device. The route guide from the user terminal device's current position is updated based on the environmental event, and the material properties of the building elements that are related to the environmental event.

  • Patent number: 10097999
    Abstract: A virtual machine (VM) server may be used to enforce a set of security criteria upon a remote client device. The VM server may be configured to host a VM that has features that can be utilized by a user at the remote client device. The VM server may receive sensor data collected by one or more sensors of a remote sensor device. The VM server may identify that the sensor data satisfies at least a portion of the set of security criteria. The VM server may further identify that the remote client device is within a predetermined proximity of the remote sensor device. The VM server may further enable a user at the remote client device to utilize the features of the VM hosted on the VM server.
